14 Jun Avoid Paying Extra for Damaged Items

It’s 2017, the year of saving; unfortunately for you, a big move is coming up and it’s going to hit your wallet so hard that you may just wish to lay off the whole endeavour. Luckily for you, we here at Man and Van London Removals have compiled a list of tips and tricks to ensure that your moving experience is out-of-this-world and a truly memorial event – memorial in a good way! Let’s take a look at how to avoid paying extra for damaged items while relocating to a new home.

Choose the right house removals London company – number one on our list may be the most obvious: ensuring that you make the correct decision on which house removals company to hire. When we say “correct”, we mean the company that will undeniably get your goods from point A to point B with no hassle, or problems, on time, and for an affordable price. With so many man and van services in London available to choose from, you may want to take your time with this step. Choose the company that you trust and that has always been deemed reliable to you based on past experiences.

Do solid research – online research on removal companies may work. However, more often than not, the internet is filled with senseless information which only serves to confuse you and slow down your timeline. Ask neighbours or trusted sources for their views on the best removal companies, to get a good idea of what you will be dealing with. A company that has a notorious reputation for damaging items should be avoided, and you’d only find that out from speaking with detractors.

Be alert in spotting false promises – many removal companies lure in customers with promises of timeliness, immediacy, professionalism, and savings. Oftentimes, however, there is a catch included somewhere in the fine print, and what you don’t want is to end up having damaged items during transit and then finding out they are not insured.

Actions speak louder than words – the final pointer that should be a deal-maker for you is the company’s ability to hold to guarantees. If they say they will call at a certain time and they do, you’ll have an idea of their work ethic. Timeliness is very important in the removal business, and if a man and van company can’t stick to their word, drop ‘em like a hot potato.
