Cast your mind back to the days when moving house meant getting your mate Jezza (the one who had an Uncle who owned a van) to help you move your bed and a few boxes. The move was probably a bit rough around the edges, but then, your bed probably was too and there was nothing too valuable in the boxes.
The great thing about Jezza was he did it for a dozen beers. When it comes to cheap removals, you can’t beat a mate who does the job for a box of brews.
Fast forward a few years and we arrive in the present. If it has been quite a few years since Jezza helped you move flat, you’ve probably gathered a bit more stuff. Don’t worry, it’s a natural byproduct of age, especially when we decide to settle down with a significant other.
Thankfully, we tend not to move around as much as we advance through life, but when we do, moving all that stuff is a big deal. Take a wander round your home and ask yourself if you’d put your belongings in Jezza’s van now. The large flat screen TV? Your great grandmother’s bone china tea set? How about your collection of fine wine from the Barossa Valley? Jezza may be more of a Carlton Draught kind of guy, but you wouldn’t want him to try a drop of wine, a.k.a. seeing a demonstration of how bottles respond to gravity.
“You get what you pay for” is, for better or worse, one of the more accurate truisms in life. Thankfully, when moving, having more security with your valuables doesn’t need to cost a fortune. If cost is a factor, you can consider by the hour removals. This allows you to save money by moving all the items you can manage by yourself and letting us do the heavy lifting.
