WridgWays – A Santa Fe Company

GLOBAL PEACE OF MIND

Moving home is an important time for you and your family. Moving Overseas involves much more than moving your belongings; there’s the excitement of a new house, new surroundings and new neighbours, plus a lot of organising and planning to do.

At WridgWays, we have been moving families since 1892 and understand that moving is about more than boxes; it is about people, families and moving memories. We pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional experience for each and every customer.

The experience is enriched by the integrity, drive, quality and passion of our people, from which we have developed a very personal approach to moving people’s homes, and is supported by a very flexible range of services to give you peace of mind.

We make it easy.

SECURE STORAGE

We have our own network of storage facilities across Australia, New Zealand and beyond. We use specially constructed, modular storage containers or steel containers which are secure, clean, pest-proof and designed to safely store any item from a carton to a lounge suite. Our storage facilities are regularly fumigated to ensure a pest-free environment.

Where your precious items require special care, these items are stored in our VIP Special Goods area to ensure maximum care. All goods entering and exiting our facilities are subject to strict inventory checks; each item is checked into the Inventory Listing upon entrance and checked out upon exit.

If you are not planning to move straight away, we can store items for short or long periods of time. Our tracking and labelling facilities enable us to identify and obtain special items as and when you need them.

STORAGE TIPS

– Wash woollens before packingthem for storage

– Vacuum rugs or better still,have them cleaned

– Check you haven’t included flammableliquids, perishable food items or otherhazardous material

– Ensure your fridge, freezer and/orwashing machine are thoroughly dry

Note: We cannot store any items that exhibit any visible signs of mould

INSURANCE

Unforeseen events can damage your furniture or personal belongings while they are being moved or stored. Bad weather, train derailments, atmospheric changes or even excess vibrations on the road can affect your belongings, no matter how carefully they have been packed. Our moving insurance ensures that in the event of your possessions getting damaged or lost during your move, your valuable goods are covered.

So when you’re moving, don’t forget your Transit and Storage Insurance.

It is important that you read and understand the Financial Services Guide, Product Disclosure Statement and Policy Wording before you make any decisions regarding our insurance products.
