Can Removalists Stop At Multiple Stops or Locations?

Our removalists at Total Care Movers can make as many stops as you require. It's not uncommon, and there are several reasons why a removalist might have to stop at multiple stops or locations. You may need to collect items from a relative or friend. Maybe you have items in storage that you want to pick up. You might even be moving in with your partner for the first time. We can even stop donating unwanted items such as furniture, clothes, or books. This can be done at an opportunity store or disposing of broken or unwanted items. The time it takes to pick up and deliver items at each relocation depends on factors such as:

 

Cubic Meterage

 

Our sales team appropriately arranged a suitable-sized truck for your relocation. We will be basing this on the cubic metres of your items. This will be done through a free, no-obligation quote. We have various sizes of vehicles and combinations that may suit your move. These range from small to large trucks, all equipped with different features. These include tailgates, ramps, and trolleys, depending on your needs. There are several ways to contact them, depending on the current situation surrounding COVID-19 and isolation factors.

We can do this by coming to your home or office via Zoom or FaceTime. Your quote will be based on an hourly rate from when the workers leave the depot. This is found at Pooraka or Dry Creek until they arrive at the depot. This is calculated by the estimated time it will take to return from the delivery using Google Maps based on traffic delays, etc. Rates may vary depending on peak and off-peak periods.

The Kind of Access

 

Is there a bus stop out front, loading, or no parking areas? Is there maybe an incline or decline on your property? Heavy vehicles on pavers are not recommended, meaning the truck needs to park elsewhere to prevent damage. These are all things to consider. This is what it takes to pick up and deliver items due to the kind of access on your property.

 

The Amount of Crew Dedicated to the Removalist Job

 

Typically, two men will be saved for everyday relocations. However, you may require an additional crew member for larger jobs. Another crew member will be assigned despite paying a more expensive hourly rate. Therefore, the job will be done quicker, saving you time and money.

 

Organisation and Preparation for Removalists

 

You can pack your items in Preparation or have your belongings packed by our professional removalists. Essentially, anything you can do to prepare and organise will prevent excessive time and money spent. This may include:

 

The Weather

 

Despite the weather, our removalists at TCM will continue to work through the rain or heat unless you want to reschedule. In case of slight delays, prepare, as things may take longer in extreme weather. Possible factors may be implemented for clients' and removalists' safety. For example, surfaces or items may become slippery in the rain. Additional plastic wrap or other coverings for articles may be required. An alternative route for moving objects with trolleys may need to be dedicated due to mud, etc. Particular attention may be given to cherished or vulnerable items to protect them from Mother Nature. Our team will do our best to accommodate extreme weather. Specifically, we will be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

 

Dissembling or Assembling of Items

 

You can disassemble more oversized items, such as bed frames, cots, trampolines, swing sets, etc., in preparation or have our removalists do it for you. Furthermore, artwork and photo frames can be removed from walls and placed together.

 

At Total Care Movers, we understand that each client and their relocation may require different needs. Whatever your requirements may be, trust that our staff at TCM will work around you in the most convenient way possible for as many stops or locations as you need to make along the way. Any help from you or your family members before or on the day of the move will save costs and make a quicker turnaround at each location for our removalists. Don't hesitate to contact our staff, who are dedicated to assisting in relocating at multiple stops promptly while meeting budget requests.

Why should I use Adelaide removalists for my interstate moving?

Moving interstate may involve quite a lot of decision-making and planning. This is considering that each state and territory in Australia differs slightly regarding laws and regulations, licences, employment, etc. Furthermore, education, restricted items and living expenses such as food, housing, electricity, etc. Although Adelaide removalists such as Total Care Movers can still operate and transport both locally and interstate, given the rapidly changing environment surrounding the current pandemic, there may be varying restrictions, quarantines, and requirements in place. You can follow up on the latest official news and updates regarding COVID-19 on the Australian Government website. Despite the current pandemic, the Australian Bureau of Statistics results reveal that interstate migration is consistent and overall similar to results from 10 years ago.

 

Why should you use removalists such as Total Care Movers for your next interstate move?

 

TCM is the leading and most trusted removalist branch in South Australia. We have been moving Adelaide families since 2006, giving numerous reasons to use us for your interstate moving. We offer affordable prices and total insurance measures to cater to local and interstate relocations for homes and offices. This includes government and Defence Force contracts. Additionally, we are members of the Australian Furniture Removal Association (AFRA), an official body that assists in regulating the removal industry. AFRA accredits ‘only those furniture removalists with the necessary equipment, vehicles, premises, and staff training needed to complete a professional move’. Remember that removalists searched on all platforms, such as Gumtree and Google, may not be accreditable. Do research beforehand to ensure you appoint a professional and trusted removalist. There is no need to pay more than needed or risk damage to cherished belongings.

Furthermore, TCM is a team partner of Netball SA and a proud supporter of the Adelaide Thunderbirds. Several reviews show our positive reputation across the entire country over the past 16 years. Additionally, our recommendations can be found on Google and our website.

Transportation of your item’s interstate using removalists

 

For interstate moves, TCM prefers to transport your items from Adelaide by train rather than by road via a truck. We believe this is the safest way to protect your things for long periods of time. This is while travelling interstate from potential damage, either from the road surfaces or a collision. It is also a cheaper and more efficient mode of transport. Our removalists will pick up your items straight from a shipping container. This is where the items will remain until your delivery destination. This means that multi-handling your items through transhipment is generally not required. We use government-approved agents throughout all states and territories in Australia for interstate relocations.

 

Protection of your items

 

Our highly trained removalists are experts in heavy lifting with total care. You have the option to pack your items yourself. However, our team will make all efforts to ensure that your belongings will be packed and delivered correctly. If you decide to pack your items, we can provide tips and ensure all your questions are answered. Using heavy-duty blankets to wrap your cherished belongings protects against scratches, scuffs, and dirt. They are perfect for bulky items and belongings not being placed in cartons. These are used for all our moves. Even our local relocations are packed and loaded securely, as if travelling interstate. Additionally, we use other essential equipment and tools that help protect your items. This involves heavy-duty plastic covers and the appropriate use of cartons.

 

Secure storage is available

 

TCM offers short- and long-term storage options with 24/7 security monitoring for peace of mind. You may not have a home ready when travelling interstate. You may want to move first, then decide where your delivery location will be later. Whatever your case may be, we can guarantee that we can safely hold these items on-premises. Once again, your items will remain in the same shipping container picked up for the entire storage period, with locks.

 

Contact us now and contact our sales team regarding a free, no-obligation, and cost-effective quote with Australia-wide availability. Our approach will ensure your relocation is stress-free and satisfaction guaranteed. You can trust that your items will be moved professionally and promptly when you book any move through Total Care Movers for your next interstate move.

Depending on your relocation, we have different vehicles for varying requirements and trolleys, such as our purpose-built spa slider and trolley system.

Removalists - How do I prepare my items for?

Depending on your financial or time commitments, you can pack your items with our removalists or yourself. If you decide to pack your items, our friendly team can provide information to ensure you're correctly wrapping and packing. Our staff can be readily contacted via email or verbally over the phone, and videos on correct packing techniques and tips and tricks can be provided upon request. Additionally, we can provide essential items such as packing paper, heavy-duty plastic covers used on mattresses, fabric furniture such as couches and cushions, sticky tape, and various-sized cardboard cartons. Things that you can do before your relocation to prepare items for removalists include:

 

Organise and declutter

 

Whether you're packing your items or not, take the chance to sort and declutter everything in your home, mainly stuff you hardly use. This could mean selling, giving things away, passing items to family, or donating to your local opportunity shop. You might need to replace old furniture or make repairs on existing items. You may have trash or furniture to dump. Organising and decluttering will help make picking up your articles easier for yourself and the removalists if you know exactly where things are and need to go, saving you time and money.

Furthermore, this will also help you identify items that are breakable or need special care when packing or moving, such as artwork, ornaments, certificates and other vital documents, a piano, or other antiques. Are all your items going to the exact location? Is anything going into storage? These are some things to consider or discuss with our team before the big day that will help prepare your items.

 

Lessening food quantity

 

Try to use up both perishable and non-perishable food in your pantry, fridge, or freezer the weeks before your move to lessen the quantity of food and eliminate any wastage.

 

Dedicate a 'priority' box with unique items

 

Essential items you may need immediately or within the first night should be dedicated to a 'priority' carton to maintain organisation. Think about which items you might place there on your move's day. This may include remotes, chargers, glasses, medication, etc. This avoids confusion about the whereabouts of items and unnecessary sifting throughout cartons, creating mess and stress.

 

Measure necessary items

 

If necessary, more oversized items might need to be measured, particularly those being dismantled for delivery. For example, children's play equipment may not fit outside or in certain rooms. Your fridge must be measured to ensure it works at its capacity upon arrival.

 

Dismantle any necessary furniture

 

Dismantling furniture generally means more oversized items like bed frames, cots, trampolines, swing sets, etc. Don't lose any screws by placing them in a sandwich bag or somewhere you won't forget. Be sure to remove any artwork or frames from the walls.

 

Remove anything that poses a risk

 

It is removing items, such as mats or rugs, that you or the removalist might interfere with or slip on. Several dangerous items may not be deemed safe for transport or must be moved or discarded safely by yourself. This may include removing flammables such as fuel, batteries, gas bottles, and fire extinguishers to prevent potential hazards. Ensure you detach gas cylinders from any barbeques or patio heaters.

 

Empty and defrost your fridge or freezer

Make sure you organise to have a cooler and ice bricks for the day of the move for fridge items. You can wash all the racks and drawers in advance so they are clean for packing. You must unfreeze and defrost your fridge and freezer immediately, or an hour before the removalist's arrival.

 

Drain the water out of any necessary appliances

 

To avoid moisture and mould buildup, you must drain excess water from hoses in appliances such as the dishwasher and washing machine.

 

Unplug cords and hoses

 

You must unplug any cords, such as television, computer, gaming, internet, etc., and secure them in a safe place. This will ensure that things are kept organised and not damaged or frayed.

 

Don't forget to label your cardboard cartons

 

Once packed, it would be best to label your cartons according to the room and provide a breakdown of the items inside. This gives both the removalists and yourself peace of mind regarding the location of essential items and the correct placement of cartons.

 

Placement of cartons

 

Once you have finished packing your items, you can prepare by stacking and placing cartons in dedicated areas, ensuring the hall and doorways are not obstructed and allowing easy access.

Overall, there are several things that you can do before the day of your relocation to prepare items for removalists. Don't stress; our team at Total Care Movers is here to help and make things a breeze.
