Why not arrange Peace of Mind Insurance Cover?
While we will take the utmost care in moving your belongings, its not impossible that some small damage could occur. For example, pots often have hairline cracks before a move and the vibration of a truck can cause them to break. If you are worried about a particular item such as your computer, it may be advisable that you transport it yourself. Our removalists are trained to look for damage before a move and draw it to your attention if necessary.
No matter how careful a professional removalist may be, accidents do happen. Let us take the worry away from you.
For accidental damage and theft insurance for home removals, around the corner or across Australia, benefits include full replacement value regardless of age, and cover is available for nominated storage.

ab fab The Stress Free Movers do not carry transit or storage insurance for your goods
A removals company cannot arrange or advise on any form of insurance cover, protection or indemnity; unless they hold an AFS licence or they are authorised representatives of a licensee.
Since March 2004 the Financial Services Reform Act has imposed higher standards that protect you whenever you deal with businesses offering financial services.
Insurance cover by a removal company; be it ""free"" or otherwise, is a financial service.
All businesses that offer financial services must hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) or be an authorised representative of an AFSL licensee. These businesses must be registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
ab fab the Stress Free Movers are currently not authorised to give you general advice about nor can we arrange insurance pertaining to your removal .You can also contact National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) on (02) 9964 9400 or http://www.niba.com.au who will refer you to an insurance provider or your choice.
Yes, our team will do any dismantling / reassembling needed. Some furniture items such as kit set furniture can be difficult to reassemble and our team will advise you of this prior to starting. While we are more than happy to dismantle and reassemble, remember that the more you do in advance of a move, the less time the move will take and the more you will save/control your costs.
We put your peace of mind first and keep tight security on our storage facilities.
Allowing customers in when there is no manager in attendance would create a number of security risks.
If you need access to your items on a regular basis, we have a great relationship with a ‘self-storage’ facility which usually allows access from 7am to 5pm, 7 days a week.
Just leave the arrangements to our professional Ops team as part of the ab fab service.
Paying for your move is easy and convenient.
To book a move with ab fab, we require a deposit of the first two hours charges so that we can allocate a team of professional movers to your job.
Payment of the balance is required on the day of the removal. We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Bankcard, and cheques.
If you require storage will set up a direct debit system from your credit card for monthly payments.
A move consisting of large items only is far quicker than a move that involves lots of smaller or unpacked items. The access to your home or office for example steep drive ways, staircases or double story living can add to the time.
You can control our time and your cost by following a few basic rules:-
- As much as you'd think it might help to move items into your garage in advance of the move, please don't.
- Leave items in the rooms.
- If you pack tea chest cartons in a room, only leave them stacked a maximum of two high
- Always keep clear pasage ways through the house or office.
The storage solution really depends on your needs for the duration of the storage and we have both on and off site storage options.
The cost of your storage depends on the volume you need to store, accessibility and length of time required.
Please discuss your requirements with our Operations staff who are well equiped to talk to you about your storage needs .
