Ok I agree, it would be hard to find a dryer topic but you may be surprised how easy it is to save $1350 when moving, especially as that extra money can go into funding your business. In fact that’s almost exactly the development cost to build a small Dotnetnuke module via my offshore team.
Anyway, we’re moving from Melbourne to Brisbane in a week and I needed to organise insurance for the move. I completed the insurance declaration and was surprised to find it was going to cost $1700 for premium insurance. Premium basically means that if your electronics good such as LCD TV or computers don’t work at the other end you will be covered. This seemed far too high so I decided to shop around.
I came across www.removalsinsurance.com.au and completed their online quotation to compare. Surprisingly it came to $450 including storage at the other end. It sounded a little too good to be true so I called them up and checked a coherent ‘real person’ existed at the other end. After battering them with a few scenarios it sounded like the same policy underwritten by Allianz, just a lot cheaper. It took only 5 minutes to fill out the online form and you didn’t need to itemise everything. I’ll post an update if it turns pear shaped.
Slightly random but hopefully helpful.
