Negotiations With Removal Company

Choosing the best removal company is definitely not the easiest thing to do. Considering the prices they offer and the quality of professional services is the first obligation you have, when it comes to removal team selection. 
Though, you will have to know and remember that these people are the only ones, who can provide you a full pack of completely satisfying and totally professional services, which, on the other hand, are irreplaceable in the long-lasting process of moving to another home place. When the right moment for pointing the best removal company for your removal operation comes, you should make a plan for the negotiations – as any other deal, the deal with the company is also accompanied by a formal meeting, where discussion and suggestions are made to make everything clear and fair.


During the negotiations with the removal company you must have a list of points and questions in front of you. Make a checklist in order to remind yourself the most important topics and issues you should discuss with your future removal agents and helpers. Do not think that the removalists are the bosses and you should follow each of their pieces of advice and listen to their orders. On the contrary – you are the one with the money, and usually, the orders are given by the person, who pays. Meanwhile, never forget that the people from the professional removal company are professionals and helping people to move out is their job, so most of details you are going to discuss are things they do every day. Their skills and knowledge make them in a position of masters, so it is not going to be a bad idea to try to listen to the removalists.

While negotiating with the managers and consultants from the removal company try to reduce the price or get a discount. This is the usual practice that clients are trying to follow, when the removalists explain them each of the details from the removal plan. If you cannot obtain a lower price from the full pack of services, you may ask for an additional extra service or help during the removal process. Emphasize on the fact that you are new in this and you would like to be guaranteed and assured that everything is ok. Mentioning that you can also demand a kind of an insurance clause in your contract – it may provide you compensation, if something during the removal goes wrong or a delay occurs. However, the date for the removal is the first detail you should discuss very precisely with the removalists. Pointing an exact day of the month is the best chance to reduce the chances of eventual postpones and delays, because, when the time for moving is not determined by you, the company may trick and list on the bottom of the list. You can also define the period – when the entire plan is perfectly done or when then transportation is arranged. Speaking of the transportation, we should remind you that you have to mention the possibility of finding the most appropriate and budget-friendly way of getting to your new home place.
Demand for a safe baggage transportation and require traveling with it, if it is possible. Negotiate about the van driver selection, too, and ask your removal agent, if you can choose the person, who will drive you to your next home place. Ask for the driver to tell you more about his experience and then make your choice.
