Make sure to reserve your removal company well beforehand to guarantee the removal company is available for your preferred time.

Keep your removal company up to date of any most likely changes to your completion date. The more in the loop you keep them, the most likely they will be to work around any problems that develop– and if you wind up having to cancel them on the day, you could sustain a full days costs to cover their incomes.

Discover how many people from the removal company will in fact be doing the filling and bring (do they expect you to bring things to the automobile too or can you continue with last minute packaging)? If you work with a man and a van they might be more of an expectation that you’ll load too (unless they bring someone else to help).
