There are many different companies that charge their services per minute rather than per half-hour or even per hour. Can you imagine getting into a taxi and asking the driver if he can drive you down the street and when you get there he says “Well that'll be 96 dollars, that's my per hour rate.” Or can you imagine if you made a 5-minute phone call and was charged as though you had talked for 30 minutes? Why then, would you book a Removalist that charged per half-hour or hour when they only worked for 5 minutes out of that hour?
Why pay more when the movers are not doing the work? There are Removals Companies now that charge per minute instead of per half-hour or hour, and that means that you are just paying for each minute that the guys actually use, rather than being charged for minutes that the guys are not working. This means that if they use 2 hours and 46 minutes, they don't round up the 14 minutes that they don't use, and when you're paying nearly $100 per hour, those extra minutes can add up!
It also helps that these companies also have no minimums, meaning that if the guys are only at you address for 10 minutes, you are only charged for 10 minutes. Why pay more? So when you are moving just a couple items locally or are annoyed at being charged for time that the removalists are not using, then look no further than a per-minute company.
Nobody likes paying for something that they never get to use. It just doesn't make sense, and neither does paying for minutes that the removalists don't use. So save your money and your time and book with a company that bills per minute rather than per half-hour or hour. It's not only smart, it just makes sense!
