FAQS
How much notice do you need for the booking?
You can book for same day service if you like. However, the more notice time you give us the more likely you could pick the best time that suite you needs. One week notice is standard.
How do we calculate the time?
The time starts calculating when the truck arrived at your pick-up address and the driver will provide you with a customer contract and put down the starting time with you. After that, the time will keep calculating until everything has been put to your desired spots in your new home. (driving time between two addresses will be included).
How long will the move normally take?
This depends on a number of factors which include, the nature and number of the items you have, the access (eg stairs or lift) at either end of the move and how close we can park the truck to your front door, etc.
For a rough guide:
- Studio or no furniture: 1 to 1.5 hours
- One bedroom: 2 to 3 hours
- Two bedrooms: 3 to 4 hours
- Three to Four bedrooms: 5 to 6 hours
Rest assured that our professional furniture removalists always aim to move you as efficiently and safely as possible.
When and how do I pay?
You can pay by cash or bank transfer(GST will be applied). All payments must be made immediately at the completion of each removals job
Why does THUNDERMOVE charge by the hourly rate?
Charging by the hourly rate results in a cheaper price. Sales people from other companies calculate a fixed price based on the estimated MAXIMUM time each part of your move will take. They always allow for additional time, so fixed prices are costed to the maximum time your move may take.
Does THUNDERMOVE have insurance?
We do have Public Liability Insurance for pick up and drop off properties.
Full insurance for your goods and personal items.
