What Removal Companies Quote For

Not every company does every job, so say exactly what you need when you request quotes.

How Furniture Removals Work

1. Survey. The company assesses the volume, either on site, by video call or from your inventory and photos.
2. Quote. You get a written quote with the truck size, crew, packing, insurance options and price.
3. Book. You confirm the date and pay any deposit the company asks for.
4. Pack. You pack yourself, or the crew packs on the day before or the morning of the move.
5. Load and move. Furniture is wrapped, loaded, transported and offloaded into the rooms you choose.
6. Check. You check items against the inventory and report any damage in writing, within the time the company allows.

Ask each company whether they will survey in person or quote from photos, and what happens if the volume is bigger on the day.

Types of Moving Service

• Full service. The company packs, wraps, loads, moves, offloads and unpacks.
• Standard move. You pack the boxes. The crew wraps furniture, loads and offloads.
• Load-only or transport. A truck and crew for set items, often charged by the hour.
• Shared load. Your goods travel with other customers' goods on the same route, usually with flexible dates.

Dedicated Truck or Shared Load

• Dedicated truck. Only your goods on board, a fixed date and a direct trip. Suits full households and tight deadlines.
• Shared load. You pay for the space you use on a truck going your way. Suits small households that can wait for a collection and delivery window.

Furniture Removal Prices at a Glance

Ballpark prices so you can sanity-check a quote. They are not quotations and no company is bound by them.

Volume, distance, stairs and access, packing and the date set the final price.

What to Include in Your Request

• Collection and delivery towns or suburbs.
• Moving date, and whether you can move a few days either side.
• Size of the move: number of bedrooms, or a list of items.

• Large or fragile items such as a piano, safe, glass table or artwork.

Availability

Requests come from across South Africa. Removal companies are independent and decide which jobs and routes they take on, so availability depends on your location, date and the service you need.

Comparing Removal Companies

Whoever you consider, compare like with like:
