Complete our online get-a-quote form, you will receive an instant response and have the following options:
We recommend scheduling a visit to your home by one of our Biddulphs move consultants, who will provide you with a free non-obligation pre-move estimate.
Our consultant will gain a full understanding of your requirements and will provision for any specific requirements. He or she will draw up an inventory of your belongings which will allow us to calculate the volume to be transported and vehicle needed. Alternatively, if you are only needing to transport a couple items, you can go with the option of sending us a list.
Your Biddulphs International supervisor will manage the handling of your belongings with the utmost care and consideration during your move day.
This includes:
If you are unable to be present during your move you will need to arrange for an authorised friend or family member to be present during the packing and loading.
Your Biddulphs International supervisor will carry out a comprehensive inventory of your items, which will also include a description and a record of any existing damages. It is suggested that you accompany the supervisor as he records the inventory and points out any items that will need special handling.
You will need to sign the inventory as confirmation of the items loaded and their condition. The supervisor will sign the form and provide you with a copy for your records.
Contact your move coordinator as soon as you have reached your new home. This is particularly important if you are undertaking a long distance move.
It is a great idea to provide your movers with a floor plan of where you would like your belongings to be unpacked. Use the Customer Inventory form to mark off the items and their condition as they are being brought in. Record any damage on your form and notify your move coordinator. Any items dismantled by the driver and moving staff will be reassembled to their original state.
Following the move, your coordinator will address any concerns that you have and if required, guide you through the process of filing an insurance claim for damaged items.
For individual moves, payment is due a week in advance to ensure everything is in place prior to the moving day. Should the relocation be arranged through your company or government department that has an account with us, we would require a copy of the purchase order confirming coverage of the move proposal. You will also need to pay any expenses that may be due if your belongings have been placed in storage.
Your move will be supervised by one of our professionally trained drivers/supervisors. Every staff member is professionally trained in every aspect of packing, handling, loading and offloading your belongings.
When you choose Biddulphs, our removal consultants will plan for your peace-of-mind by discussing every aspect of your move with you before the move starts. They will tell you exactly what to do and what to expect, including the range of services offered and what you will pay. There are no hidden costs.
We will arrange to move everything you have including cars, boats, caravans and garden and workshop equipment.
By moving mid-month or in other off-peak periods, you can reduce the cost of your move considerably. Our rates are up to a third lower in off peak periods than at the end of the month.
