Hourly Rate or Fixed Price Quote

Thursday, 1 July 2010 1:40 PM

Many people are concerned with the uncertainty of an hourly rate quote when they speak to removalists in Brisbane. Although this is generally the cheapest option, there is always the possibility of unscrupulous removal operators whittling away your moving time while your wallet is steadily emptied.

That's why a fixed quote is such a big drawcard, especially when moving a bigger (3 bedroom +) house. It allows you the reassurance of knowing exactly how much your move will cost, regardless of how long it will take, and whereabouts in Brisbane your are moving.

But what are the real differences between an hourly rate and a fixed quote moving service?

Moving in Brisbane at an hourly rate, especially in the case of our 6-minute billing increments, means that you truly only pay for what you actually use. The benefit to you is obvious - not only in terms of the actual cost of the move, but also in terms of time saved in the lead up to a move. One 10-minute phone call is all you need to get you booked in and ready to go for moving day.

For a fixed price quote however, the process is a little more involved. Obviously we need to know exactly what we're moving for you, where it is coming out of and going into, and how long it will take to get there. That's where I come in.

As one of the Move Consultants here at Your Local Movers, my job is to come to your home, asses the volume of items we are moving for you, assess the time it will take and provide an accurate estimate based on best moving practice. This is a free moving service for larger moves.

The best part of a fixed quote is that it will be based around what YOU want for YOUR move. Want your move to go faster? We can make sure you get 3 (or more) movers on your job. Want to move over 2 days? We can store your goods overnight in our depot, and meet you first thing the next morning at your new home.

So instead of fretting about your large move service taking too long and getting out of hand, give us a call and ask for a fixed quote. It's just one less thing to worry about when hiring a Removalist in Brisbane.
