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.
