We know that moving can be a daunting process and with so many removals companies to choose from, just picking who to go with can prove difficult. However, choosing the right removalist is crucial for a smooth and stress-free move. At Holloway Removals & Storage, we want to help set your move up on a path to success, so we’ve compiled a list of key factors to consider to ensure you select a removalist that meets all your needs:
1. AFRA Accreditation and Reputation
Unfortunately, removals is an extremely unregulated industry which means that in theory, any guy with a van and a trolley can call themselves a removalist. How you separate the professionals from the rookies is by looking for proof of accreditation. In Australia, AFRA is the peak body regulating the removals industry. Holloway Removals & Storage is proudly AFRA accredited, which ensures our commitment to high standards and professional practices. Our customers also consistently praise us, as reflected in our 3000+ Google reviews, highlighting our reputation for reliability and excellence.
2. Comprehensive Services
A one-stop-shop can greatly simplify your moving process, saving you both time and money with your move. Holloway Removals & Storage offers a range of services including residential, interstate and commercial relocations as well as packing, unpacking and dismantling. Our in-house storage solutions for both small and large moves are also a significant advantage as they provide a safety net for your belongings. If you experience any disparities in timing between moving out and moving in, or you are expecting to renovate or you even just want to make some room in your new home, we are able to store your goods at our state-of-the-art facility with no double-handling needed.
3. Experience and Professionalism
Experience matters. That’s why at Holloway we ensure our team of professional removalists possess a wealth of knowledge and many years of experience in the industry. In addition, our valuable team includes the legendary Paul King, who is not only a key member of our team but also the most reviewed removalist in Australia. His recognition as AFRA Removalist of the Year 2024 further underscores our team's expertise and dedication to providing exceptional service.
4. Transparent Pricing
In today's economy, it's wise for all of us to watch where our pennies go, which is why choosing trustworthy companies with clear, transparent pricing is so important. You will often find companies in the industry providing pricing with hidden or misleading costs such as; advertising per half-hour rates, additional charges for stairs, dismantling or moving bulky items as well as providing removalist blankets/wrapping. All of this is designed for their upfront hourly rate to seem more competitive than it really is and can often leave customers feeling misled when they receive a large bill at the end of the move.
If you are moving to a larger home, make sure you get a fixed price quote and read any fine print. Fixed price quotes take all of the guesswork out of larger moves, meaning there won’t be any financial surprises on moving day.
At Holloway Removals & Storage we will always offer clear, upfront pricing with no additional charges, surcharges or hidden fees to make sure you know exactly what you are getting yourself into. For larger moves, we offer both onsite and virtual inspections for free, meaning rain, hail or shine, your price won’t change.
