Removals and relocations are never easy. Removal companies’ step up to ease the process but looking for the right company can be a painful job. Some basic considerations can make the choice easier.
Start from your social circle. Ask your friends and your relatives that have hired a company before. Learn about their experience and take notes. Their recommendation plays a key role in your search. But do not follow their recommendation blindly, as their circumstances may differ and have played an important role in their satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Look for a Right Removals and Storage Company with a proper back ground and infrastructure and choose a company who provides the complete package of Moving and Logistics and can manage your shipment completely. Rather than just packing and Moving and handing your shipment to some other company to ship out if moving international. Find a company who is giving complete package/services and who are providing professional services at the destination if moving internationally.
Scour the internet. Go online and search the web for removal companies. Check online directories and their websites to make a preliminary list of options available to you. Go through forums, blogs and other online sources to learn more about your shortlisted companies. Be on the lookout for list of served clients. Reading testimonials and interacting with a satisfied/dissatisfied client is another good way of doing a detailed background checks and short listing the right candidates. Look for a Right Removals and Storage Company will insure a hassle free move.
Contact the shortlisted companies. Once a preliminary list has been made, call or visit the company. Ask them to pay a visit for better estimation. If the company estimates without visiting, then you should consider it as a red flag. The only exception is if the company charges by hour, irrespective of the weight or items.
For a Right Removals and Storage Company ask questions. When a listed removal company agrees to visit, ask them: If they are certified for the job, legally and check the company background and for how long the company is providing services in the market and specially ask about their staff. To look for a Right Removals and Storage Company you must ask these questions.
Do not cheap out. Remember, the cheapest company is not always the best company, and neither is the costliest. A cheap company may mean substandard equipment’s and unprofessional staff. Similarly, the most expensive company will not always guarantee the best staff, or the equipment. Look for a Right Removals and Storage Company with a proper background.
Be wary of much lower estimates. If one company gives much lower cost estimates than its competitors, don’t jump on the opportunity without doing your research. This could mean an inaccurate or dishonest estimate, or lower quality service that could damage your household items. In the worst case scenario, it could be a scam that steals your possessions or holds them ransom for additional fees. Never use a mover without an in-house estimate! You can be charged much more than you expect if you received an estimate based on a verbal description over the phone or email, instead of a thorough investigation of your goods.
You can determine the quality of the company by the appearance of the surveyor and the way He or She explain their services and do the discussion regarding your move. Make sure not to use any third party to do your move or provide you with the quotation always contact the company directly. And choose a company with proper background and who is providing complete services as door to door service.
Make your decision. Make the call after making a detailed analysis and carefully considering all of the facts. Once again, consider your friends when opting for a certain company. If they have benefited from certain company, and your analysis suggests the same, then it might be a safe and a right decision.

It’s over 80 years ago that Sir Noel Coward, an English playwright, composer and performer, wrote:- Don’t put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Worthington. Don’t put your daughter on the stage. The profession is overcrowded, And the struggle’s pretty tough.
But it appears that very few have taken his advice to heart as The X Factor television talent show, seen in over twenty countries, appears to have changed everything. Across the world thousands of wannabes turn up for the open auditions. From Australia to USA, India to UK, they all presumably have dreams of becoming the next multi-dollar international star. Why is it that they all try when the chances of them achieving their dreams or even surviving, if they get on this showbiz whirligig, is so elusive and onerous? How many winners can you remember and as for those who were runners-up? Of course, as with anything, there is always the exception which proves the rule. In the UK 2010 X Factor whilst 1st place winner was Matt Cardle, runners-up in 3rd place were five guys known as “One Direction” and looked what happened to them! The X Factor format ran into difficulties in the US, but even now those desperate to appear are signing petitions of support. Elsewhere the show takes on board the cultural and social demands of its TV audience. In the UK celebrity judge Cheryl Cole is compared with India’s judge Sonu Nigam, whilst in the US Britney Spears endeavoured to take on an identical role. From Pop to Punk, Bollywood to Bhangra, Rock to Reggae the show reflects a country’s musical heritage ensuring its mass appeal. Surely it must be true that a bad singer is a bad singer, no matter where you are in the world? So why is it so many want to appear when, in some cases, they just make fools of themselves?
As the impact of X Factor has grown so has the involvement of psychologists giving their views about the dangers of this type of reality TV show. It has been realised for many years that a successful show needs to generate the emotions of “Ooh”, “Arr” and “Ugh”, so as to appeal to viewers and correspondingly increase ratings. Just think of how many emotions a sports fan summons up whilst watching their favourite football or cricket team.
No wonder sports programmes are very popular. Well shows like The X Factor play similarly on people’s emotions, hope and expectations. Contestants, on being asked what taking part means to them, often results in heart-jerking tearful tales. However after a couple of series we tend to be less sympathetic as we have heard it all before. This is why TV producers keep up the pressure by adding new twists and turns in the on-going format. Contestants equally start performing with more “off the wall” routines so as to attract attention. Eventually we become fed-up and the consequence is that the series starts to lose viewing figures.
So why do singers try to get on the show? Amongst contestants it’s a mixture of ambition, fun and determination jumbled in many variable ways. They have to have a belief in themselves which drives them onwards above everything else. The mass auditions are whittled down to another group, and so on, until only a few are left for the auditions viewers eventually see. By the time any contestant is seen by the TV judges, they have already been through at least two auditions. The show’s originator and powerhouse Simon Cowell is reported as being upset that there are people who come on the show just because they want fame. They’ll do anything before and afterwards because that is why they’ve entered The X Factor.
So if you are everso slightly tempted to view The X Factor as your road to success and stardom, let’s finish with another thought provoking quote from Sir Noel Coward:-
Work hard, do the best you can, don’t ever lose faith in yourself and take no notice of what other people say about you !
As part of our continuous commitment to the freight forwarding fraternity, CSS initiated a thank you scheme over 6 years ago, whereby one lucky name out of the scores of business cards that are dropped into the raffle bowls placed at the Delivery Order Counter will be rewarded with a gift.
The winner picked selected and rewarded for the months of January- February 2015 was Nizar Sharmil from Rain drops excellence who walked away with gift vouchers worth AED 200 from Carrefour, presented by Unnikrishnan G, Head of Marketing & Corporate communications, CSS Group.
It seems like only yesterday that we celebrated our 15th anniversary. Time really does appear to pass quickly, especially when one is focused enthusiastically on objectives and achievements. It’s somewhat unbelievable that five years have passed and we have now reached our 20th anniversary. The excitement, challenges, opportunities, successes, and admittedly some minor misses, have spurred us all along at a pace which has made the passage of time seem a distant concern.
As we mark this 20th anniversary milestone our successes underscore, with confidence and determination, our abilities to identify and respond to the challenges and needs of our industry. However every success brings humility, because we must never take things for granted. We have learnt from our experiences and we must continue to do so. I applaud our clients and partners as they have always stood strong, walking alongside us, with their encouragement and support.
We are also able to look back and gain strength – strength which will enable us to navigate any unchartered stronger currents ahead. Shipping continues to be our passion and this drives our pledge to uphold our values of respect, honour and commitment in an unfaltering manner. These values, that have played a major role in our success, will stay with us because they are at the heart of C.S.S.
This anniversary, like many others, provides a starting point from where we will use our skills and experiences to grow, continuing to prove to the world that our enduring values will remain steadfastly with us in the years to come. Our partners, stakeholders, associates, and equally our trusted staff, will hopefully be enthused and encouraged by our commitment to always do what we preach.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the ministry of the UAE, all officials, and the various government departments at this occasion. Also my hearty congratulations are expressed to everyone at C.S.S. on our 20th anniversary.
