Removalist in Sunshine Coast QLD

We use at least 2 of AAA Coastal Removals’ own staff members, who are trained, experienced and professional. They will be with you throughout the process—from pick up to delivery. We don’t use subcontractors or rely on other companies to supply staff when we get into a town outside the depot.

Our method of transporting your precious furniture from one place to another is through what is called a door-to-door service, meaning your furniture is picked up in the same specially equipped truck that delivers it! This means no trains, no agents, no semi-trailers, no subcontractors, no containers, no trans shipping and certainly no loose storage. 

These are important questions to ask in quotations. Sometimes customers are aware of container freight methods but may not be aware the pitfalls of this mode of transportation. Containers usually have insufficient packing materialsm, such as tie-rails, tie-ropes, removals pads and blankets. This means your belongings may not be secured properly, causing a higher likelihood of wear and tear which usually isn’t covered, even if you take out insurance.

The use of subcontractors means you have no idea who is doing the job. These are nameless companies who have limited accountability for the work they do. Semi-trailers are extremely limited by their size and unable to access a lot of homes.

Hire trucks also have some pitfalls you need to consider. For starters, you need to be 25+, with some larger models requiring MR or HR truck licences. You may need this size of truck to fit all your belongings. You will be charged the daily rental rate, plus by the kilometre once you reach around 100 kilometres. 

With most car/truck rental companies then you have to factor in the 4-8 hours solid loading times where you will need at least 2 strong and fit people to load furniture into a truck that has no tie rails, no removalists pads or blankets and no tie ropes to secure your furniture. 

So, a lot of the time this method sounds cheaper to begin with, but can add up to the same costs, with you doing all the hard work yourself.

It doesn’t matter if your goods are going across the street or to another state – the same level care and attention is taken when packing your furniture. We use heavy duty anti-dust removals blankets, as well as thick pads along with tie-rails and tie-ropes to secure your furniture and prevent as much wear and tear as possible.

These times are only a guide and can vary by hours, depending on extra items, truck-to-house distance and access difficulties such as stairs, steep driveways and more.

The quote is subject to ACCESS FACTORS & INVENTORY.

ACCESS = You must be totally honest and upfront when submitting a quote. If details such as access factors are not listed for quoting, then this will cause the time allocated and quote for your move to increase. It’s always important for us to know beforehand so we are better prepared and allocate enough loading times for the trip planner. Access for a truck loaded with your belongings is very different to a small car and a couple of bags of shopping. 

INVENTORY = You must be ACCURATE when submitting or a quote request. Your quote is calculated on your items and the volume it takes up on the truck. If you have more furniture/items, then you will be charged at a rate per cubic metre over the quoted items/inventory.

There are many logistics involved with planning multiple pick-ups and deliveries over long travel distances in the one day. The estimates we create are based on sound information given to us by each client loaded/unloaded before you, kilometre/time ratios and traffic reports. It is almost impossible to guarantee an exact time of arrival as unforeseen circumstances such as traffic delays, access factors and inventory excesses all affect the loading times. This also works the other way, and we can sometimes overestimate times and be running ahead of schedule. 

Communication on removal day between client and driver is essential, so please ensure your phone is nearby and charged. We also ask that you please organise your day so that you have back-up plans ready, in case we are running behind or ahead of schedule.
