If you are in the process of moving or even just thinking about it, you should know what to expect from a “removalist” and what they do before engaging their services. More particularly if you’re going to be paying for them then it makes sense to know what you're paying for. We are going to have a look at what a removalist definition is and what it is that makes their work so important now but firstly let’s look at some definitions.
What is the official definition of a removalist?
The Oxford dictionary defines a 'removalist' as "a person or company that takes furniture, etc from one house or building to another."
The Cambridge dictionary’s definition of a 'removalist' is "someone who helps people move their possessions to a different place to live or work."
If you’re moving from Bamaga to Hobart or from Geraldton to Yeppoon, Interstate Removalists can move peoples precious possessions across the whole expanse of our beautiful and wide land.
Why are furniture removalists so important now?
As we are all aware, in these days of COVID-19, there are many people either being displaced or choosing to relocate to regional areas. Most particularly with so many people being able to work remotely nowadays, relocation is becoming a viable and desirable opportunity. Statistics from the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) indicate that there was a net gain of 43,000 people moving from capital cities to regional areas in 2020 and in the March Quarter of 2021 104,100 people moved interstate. That’s a lot of people on the move and so the need for interstate removalists with creditable services could never be greater.
