Local, Long-distance & Cross Border

Whether you are just moving around the corner, town to town or city to city, BusyBee Removals will be able to look after all your relocation needs. We provide moving services for local moves and long distance moves from Gauteng to places like, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban & Johannesburg and we have weekly shuttles running between all these major cities in South Africa. We also have regular shuttles to Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique & Zambia.

Moving is often thought of as being very basic with a low skill set needed to do the job. Although you just need a lot of muscle and a little common sense, it is important to have a moving crew that has been professionally trained in the skills of moving. The correct handling, dismantling and re-assembly of fragile furniture pieces is essential in ensuring that the household goods arrive safely at destination. Also having a moving plan or a set modus operandi is important to ensure that the home is cleared from the front to the back, to minimize the loading and offloading time frames.

Our vehicles are equipped with all the necessary equipment and tools to provide a safe removal. The household goods are stacked in blankets in the vehicle and every space is used to ensure a tight load, like a jigsaw puzzle. The tighter and more compact the move, the less chance of damage. Inventories are written for long distance and storage relocations with each item numbered and tagged. A copy of this inventory is given to the transferee at the end of the loading process. All items are placed in the correct room, re-assembled and unpacked (if we did the packing for you) and debris removed.

As a moving company, we also specialize in the packing & handling of fine art, heavy haulage items and FFF (Furniture, Fixtures & Fittings) for hotel groups. This is what makes BusyBee Removals one of the best local moving companies.

BusyBee Removals is a professional, Gauteng based moving company. If you want to move to places like Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Bloemfontein, Nelspruit or anywhere in Johannesburg or Pretoria, we can help you.

Packing & Materials

We provide professional packing & wrapping services.  Our crews are also professionally trained in the packing of all fragile and household items.  From carton packing to specialised wrapping in Cushion Kraft (bubble plastic with a brown paper coating) and wood crating of art works, television sets, marble/glass tops and pianos.  The materials used are of the highest standards and consist of double wallboard cartons for your crockery, ornaments and books as well as your linen & curtains.  We also have specialised wardrobe cartons to accommodate clothing on hangers. We make use of white paper and tissue paper for the wrapping of items and can provide polystyrene chips for more delicate items.  All upholstered furniture and mattresses are packed in large plastic bags and can also be special wrapped in Cushion Kraft for extra protection.

Storage

If your new home is not ready or you need to still find a new home or you are just busy renovating, we have storage facilities in all the major towns in South Africa to store your household goods until you are ready to receive it.  Our state-of-the-art storage facilities are purpose built and equipped with the most modern storage equipment. Household goods are stored in stackable 3D pallets or vaults. 

This palletized storage system ensures more security in that it prevents pilferage, is dust free and prevents damage to the consignment.  Our facilities are also equipped with fire fighting equipment, burglar alarms and 24 hour patrolled security.  So, you can rest assured that your entire life’s possessions is being well looked after.

Insurance

We work with the human element and not withstanding the systems and training we have in place, we do from time to time have service failures occurring.  In the household goods transportation industry, the goods that we transport always far exceed the value of the revenue derived from the transport.  Due to this fact, all removals companies have to offer insurance as an additional option to their clients.  No removals company can guarantee or take on the financial implications of the very expensive cargo that is being carried without an insurance company’s involvement. All moving companies limit their liability and this risk needs to be transferred to either an insurance company or the client themselves.  In the event of clients not taking out the insurance offered, they are deemed to be self insured or in many cases having taken out their own insurance via their own brokers.

We offer an All Risk, In Transit policy which will cover you against damage and loss whilst in transit and an extension, if you would like us to store your consignment.  You will be required to complete a valued inventory, insuring for replacement value and not second-hand value.

An Insurance Certificate will be issued and given to you before the move commences.  Should you in the unlikely event of damage or loss have to claim, your claim will be handled directly by our Insurance Brokers with our assistance.  The conditions of insurance and the insurance rates pertaining to your move will be covered when we provide you with a quote.

Pets & Car Transport

We can arrange professional pet and car travel through certified and approved pet travel and car carrier agencies.  Please speak to our consultants and they will arrange a door to door service for you. 

We will manage the process for you so that you only have to deal with one company for all your relocation needs.
