For business operators, replacing furniture will hugely impact the bottom line, yet the business can’t function without it. For homeowners, furniture can have sentimental value, and therefore in some ways be impossible to replace. In either case, furniture removals that Gold Coast customers must take every care when moving furniture. 

The importance of making an inventory

As part of furniture removals on the Gold Coast, the removalist can employ a move coordinator, who will itemise all furniture to be moved on an inventory. This detailed list will be completed in conjunction with the customer, so that each party agrees on the description of the items. An inventory is helpful if you decide you need to take some or all items to be placed in storage, either temporarily or indefinitely.

The inventory is very important for two reasons. Firstly, it allows the customer to keep track of individual items across the removals process, so that each one can be ticked off the list and inspected at the time of reinstatement. Secondly, this is an excellent opportunity to value the items in question. A professional removalist can agree upon a realistic value for each item, which they can add to the quote if you decide you require transit insurance.

Know what you’re in for

Furniture is so valuable to both home and business owners, you as a customer have every right to ask questions of your removalist. Of course, checking the reputation of any company offering furniture removals on the Gold Coast can be done online and by word-of-mouth before getting in touch.

Should I Take Out Cover?

Some removals companies require their customers to insure their goods before any move. This is often because they cannot guarantee there will be no damage in the packing, loading, transporting, unloading and or storage of your possessions. This represents quite a high degree of risk, which not all movers are prepared to cover.

Home insurance companies offer cover for customers on the move, but they charge an extra premium for “outside the home” or “personal possessions” protection.

This insurance will usually cover accidental damage or loss in transit. It is always wise to check the small print for the details of what exactly you are insured for.

Then there is the question of the excess you will need to pay if and when you make a claim against the removals firm.

At Gold Coast Removals, we believe in a complete service that insures and protects your possessions all the way through the moving and or storage process, from pre-pack to final, in place delivery.
