Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Are you insured for household removals and public liability?
• How many movers and what vehicle will you bring for this dresser?
• Do you need me to empty drawers and remove ornaments before you arrive?
• Will you disassemble and reassemble the dresser and is that included in the price?
• What happens if you find damage or it won’t fit through the route provided?
• Do you offer short-term storage and what are the costs if I need it?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Clear access routes and measure doors, hallways and stair widths
• Reserve parking or confirm permit arrangements near the entrance
• Remove or secure fragile items and valuables before the crew arrives
• Tell the tradie about tight corners, low ceilings or uneven steps in advance
• Agree where the dresser will be stored or placed on return and confirm time window
