How JunkLift’s Sofa Removal Service Saved Sarah’s Moving Day
Moving to a new place can be an exciting experience, but there are a lot of things to do. People spend most of their time packing boxes and hiring removalists, but forget about the unwanted furniture.
Well, that’s what happened to Sarah.
The removalists were hired. The packing was all done. A new place in Balvidis was ready to go. However, the only issue was a tired, heavily used 3-seater sofa positioned in the centre of the lounge room.
She had been trying to sell the sofa on Facebook Marketplace for several days but could not find a buyer. And tried selling it online for free, but it didn’t work there either.
She can’t take it to a new home. However, getting it out was her biggest problem before the settlement. She urgently needed a quick sofa removal service.
That’s when she called JunkLift.
Why Moving Day Makes Old Sofa Removal Harder
House moving is a complex process in itself. House movers are already dealing with timelines, keys, cleaning, and countless little decisions all at once.
A leftover and outdated sofa makes the situation worse. It can block removalist access and cause a conflict with the landlord.
Sarah was also facing such problems. The sofa was too large and heavy to place in the bin and move independently. A team was needed to move it. Its condition was so worn out that it was hard to find a buyer in time.
She was searching for a fast, reliable option, and that’s when she reached out to JunkLift.
The Booking: Easy and Simple
Sarah called JunkLift the next day. She explained to the team the condition of the sofa. She also said that she needed to get it out before the removalists came the next morning.
It took only 5 minutes to book.
The process was as follows:
- She called JunkLift and told them about the sofa and access.
- The team confirmed a same-day cleanout and arrived on site in 2 hours.
- JunkLift crew showed up promptly and quoted an upfront price on the spot.
- Sarah said OK, and the team went to work right away.
- It took less than 15 minutes to remove the sofa from the house.
- The crew cleaned up the area before leaving.
No callbacks and waiting. No extra charge.
What JunkLift Charges & What Affects the Price?
Sarah’s first question was the total cost. The JunkLift team gave her a direct response before beginning the task.
There are a few simple things that determine the price of the sofa removal services at JunkLift. Such as:
- Sofa Size: A larger sofa requires more space in the truck and typically needs additional lifting.
- The type of sofa: Sofa beds are usually heavier due to the metal frame, which means that they are a little bit more expensive to take down.
- Property access: Ground-floor pickups are the fastest. Additional labour may be needed if the sofa needs to be moved downstairs or through lifts.
- Other items: If you have any unwanted furniture or household rubbish, disposing of them in a single visit may cost less.
- Your location: JunkLift covers the majority of suburbs in Perth. Pricing depends on the pickup location and the distance traveled.
Sarah’s job was easy: a single sofa, on the ground floor, with easy access. Thus, the price was also reasonable and confirmed in advance.
What Happened to the Sofa After Pickup
Many people think that old sofas are simply put in the garbage. But JunkLift performs differently.
Once picked up, the sofa was taken apart. All of the recyclables were sorted out and sent to the recycling centres. Timber frame, metal, and foam were disposed of in an eco-friendly way.
JunkLift’s disposal method is based on:
- Recyclable materials are sorted from general waste.
- Re-directing timber, metal and foam to appropriate recyclers
- Wherever possible, prevent items from going to the landfill.
- Follow Perth waste rules to dispose of any leftover waste.
This disposal strategy worked well for Sarah. She didn’t want to put her old furniture in a dumpster. She was happy to see that the sofa had been treated properly.
Moving Day went smoothly!
Removalists arrived at the decided time the next morning. The lounge room had been emptied before their arrival. It saved Sarah from delays and any conflict with the property manager.
After all, the move was done in time.
A week later, Sarah told us that the house move was not only fast but easy too! However, the operative method, confidence, and timely attendance of JunkLift workers responsibly moved the sofa before the removalists arrived.
