While some companies encourage customers to pack their own shipments, this is not something Ausmove agrees with. There are only 2 reasons for a moving company to provide a Pack by Owner quote. The 1st is to give the appearance of a cheaper service and the 2nd being a lack of confidence in their packing skills.
For customers this is not a money-saving idea. That’s because getting the quote only gets you to the start line, there’s still a race to be run. For starters insurance companies and Australian border officials do not like pack by owner shipments. There is a strong possibility of insurance issues, additional costs at the border and significant clearance delays. Most of our competitors have pack teams that don’t specialise in international moving. Here at Ausmove our crews are not only packing and stowing professionals, they are also experts at getting their inventories and documentation right.
Every mistake in either packing, stowing, process, inventory preparation or paperwork becomes an additional cost to the customer when their shipment arrives in Australia.
