With all the wonders of the web and the convenience it can bring it is possible to get carried away with it all and end up with egg on your face, big time! Especially if you are thinking of moving house and want to get some quotes for your removal. Why?
There are obviously different types of removal service:
for example, a student with a definitive list of items would carry alot less risk than a full house removal from a 4 bedroomed house.
However it never ceases to amaze me that people with a full house move will take a chance on an on line quote.
The problem is, it's not their fault, they just want a quote, and don’t realise the nightmare that could be just around the corner if they don’t carry out the 3 key stages listed below. Trust me the wrong decision could put years on you.
There are so many compare sites for all types of industry such as mortgage comparison, utility bill comparison, mobile phone, insurance… the list goes on. How many compare sites do you see for builders, kitchen fitters, landscape gardeners etc, not many I would suggest and the reason for that is that the service is tailor made and unique to each job, unlike car insurance etc.
With this in mind why is it assumed that a quality removal service is a commodity not a bespoke service just like a builder or an interior designer?
