FAQ about moving in Victoria

Booking Paramount Moving services is essential for a seamless relocation. During peak moving seasons, such as summer (May to September), it’s advisable to secure your booking 4-8 weeks in advance to ensure availability. For off-peak seasons or less complex moves, booking 2-4 weeks ahead is typically sufficient. However, for larger or more intricate moves, like long-distance relocations, it’s recommended to plan 8-12 weeks in advance. Flexibility with your moving dates can also impact availability, so the earlier you book, the better chance you have of securing your preferred dates. If last-minute moves become necessary, contacting Paramount Moving as soon as possible will help determine their availability and accommodate your needs, especially during off-peak times.

Paying for your move with Paramount Moving is a straightforward process. Once your move is completed, you can settle the payment using various methods such as credit cards, debit cards, or other agreed-upon payment options. Paramount Moving strives to provide a convenient and flexible payment experience for its clients, ensuring that the financial aspect of your move is as stress-free as the relocation itself. Feel free to discuss payment details and options with Paramount Moving when scheduling your move to ensure a smooth and efficient transaction.

The cancellation policy at Paramount Moving requires cancellations to be made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled move. Cancellations within this timeframe may be subject to a $250 cancellation fee. It is advisable to review and confirm the specific terms and conditions of the cancellation policy with Paramount Moving directly, as policies may be subject to change or vary based on the details of the move. This ensures clear communication and understanding of any potential fees associated with cancellations.

Tipping movers is a customary practice to show appreciation for their hard work and professionalism. The amount you tip can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the move, the level of service provided, and your overall satisfaction. A common guideline is to tip movers around 5% to 10% of the total moving cost. For example, if your move costs $1,000, a tip of $50 to $100 per mover is considered reasonable. However, tipping is ultimately at your discretion, and you may choose to adjust the amount based on your experience and the effort put forth by the moving team. It’s also common to provide refreshments or snacks to movers as an additional gesture of gratitude.

To pack efficiently for a move, start early, declutter, use quality packing supplies, pack room by room, place heavy items at the bottom, wrap fragile items in padding, secure breakables with extra care, disassemble furniture when possible, pack essentials separately, label boxes clearly, consider wardrobe boxes for clothes, and, if possible, hire professionals like Paramount Moving for expert packing services.
