There are stacks of removal companies and we all continually chase a slice of of the cake. There are new guys that spring up all the time. There’s no problem with that; except that they are invariably owner drivers who have no overheads, have no marketing except for the small adverts and generally just get in the way!

This is after all your personal belongings we are moving. Maybe the small removalist has worked for a larger company and maybe you did know of him. Maybe he is a nice guy…..The million dollar question is “can he back himself when he has your goods in his truck?’…

Sound a bit harsh ? Not really, because there are professional removalists and then there are the hackers who create a perception that removalists  are all shonks. Many are; lets be frank; they have no formal wages for staff and pay “cashies’, no super, no liability insurance and very often no idea!

There’s an old saying ” Penny wise and Pound foolish” and in our game, never a truer word. We may charge a higher hourly rate but we know that we live and die by our reputation. In fact that’s why around 50% of our enquiries are from clients or referrals. Are we perfect? Not at all but in the main we know we do a great job and we know this because our clients tell us so…and they tell their friends.

So what do we do that’s different? I guess we simply make sure that we are professional from start to completion of the move. Unlike some competitors, we don’t bag any of them. If we lose a move to a competitor…ce la vie! Very often they come back…

In fact I had a call just yesterday from a client..tale between his legs because he recently used a competitor who was $10 an hour cheaper than ab fab…the move was a nightmare and guess what? …..He’s back and has asked us to move him out of storage.

Its all about reputation..we know that and we value that. At ab fab The Stress Free Movers we are very proud to be the remover of choice for some well established and well known Sunshine Coast families and indeed businesses.

All of our  testimonials are contactable..put us to the test!

We’d love to move your family and friends..so enquire through the web http://www.abfab.net.au  or call us on 07 5445 8797

Sunshine Coast removals really don’t have to be un cool…There’s so much to think about but its like anything, we either fail to plan or we plan to fail.

The biggest challenge seems to be making the decision to book the move. We really appreciate that there are loads of removalists on the Sunshine Coast. If you just take the bull by the horns and book, the rest just seems to fall into place. ab fab will help you along the way with great communication and value-add things like our moving tips. And what’s more, we’re flexible; if your settlement date changes, we’ll work with you.

The move day itself is really stressful for you and as removalists, ab fab know and understand that.

Our guys are coached to deliver awesome customer service. The general consensus out there is that removalists are rough and tough and just don’t care…and that’s sadly in many cases very true. ab fab face up to the task. We have high expectations of our staff when it comes to dress, good manners and caring for your goods. Hey, we are not perfect but when it comes to standards we have a very low tolerance for any staff member who is not part of the team and who, for whatever reason resists being at the top of his game. The guys know….. ‘you don’t shave, you are not fulfilling our promise and you need to work somewhere else.’ It does sound tough but then we are serious about what we do. There’s a lot to be said for the saying “if you look good, you feel good and you act good” and at ab fab The Stress Free Movers we employ removalists who want to be eagles, not turkeys. Our proud removalists defend our image with pride.

ab fab is not a national removals company with depots dotted all across Australia. We don’t have hundreds of staff (that can be a nightmare to uphold standards). We are a genuine boutique removalist with standards and expectations above so many of our competitors. Why? Because we care about your removal experience; bottom line, we want you back in the future and so we go the extra mile.

There’s a herd of turtles out there and you really should be moving house or office removals with a company who understand that you want a stress free move. You have more than likely heard of the horror stories with breakage and belongings getting lost with some of the bigger names. Relax because at ab fab we take transparency seriously. For example we point you in the right direction for removal insurance. Talk to the experts rather than a removalist!  Have a look at  http://www.associatedmarine.com.au/abfab/

We pack, unpack, supply moving boxes, offer the full range of packing materials and we have well priced storage.

You owe it to yourself to give ab fab The Stress Free Movers a call. We don’t have the cheapest hourly rate on the coast; we know that, but what we do promise is a managed move with a great team of guys and we believe that will save you money. Its great finding a cheaper hourly rate for removals Sunshine Coast but at the end of the day when the guy arrives in a truck that’s too small (which means multiple trips and more money!!) and takes extra hours to move your stuff because the loading of the truck is a mess, you’ve actually spent a whole lot more. Don’t be hood winked; use the professionals; give ab fab a call or visit our web site http://www.abfab.net.au
