There are some people that move house every six months and others that only move once or twice in their lifetime. Either way there are always ways to make the move a bit easier and less stressful. Whether you are moving in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane or Canberra, there are many different ways in which the move can be the least expensive and least stressful.
Packing and Unpacking Boxes: Always order sufficient boxes, packing paper and tape. You don't want to be caught the day before the move with fewer materials than you need. Leave plenty of time to pack, whether that is through a VIP Packing Service, with the removalists on the day, or packing up everything on your own. Some tips for packing boxes is to pack room by room, to colour coordinate the different rooms (i.e. Orange for kitchen and blue for master bedroom), and to pack all of the things that you will need the day of your move into luggage so that it will be easily accessible and not in a box in the corner under fourteen other boxes.
Budget: Always budget for more than you are really planning to spend. There are many cheap removalists in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, but it is best to keep track of everything that they are charging for. Most removalist companies include Transit and Public Liability Insurance, and offer Service Warranties for the loading and unloading of the goods. Also, only pack what you need, if you haven't used something in years, why pay to have it moved to your new house? Less stuff means less time for the move and means that you will save both time and money.
Transfer Utilities: Some removalist companies offer a free service to transfer your utilities, such as electricity, gas, phone, internet, and pay TV. This service saves you hours on the phone to your utility companies and takes much more stress out of the move.
Plan Ahead: It is good to book a removalist about two weeks in advance. This lets you choose the best available time slots and also the day that you prefer. Also, this allows time for the removalist company to deliver your packing supplies and to organise cleaning, packing, and the transfer of utilities for you
Of course there are many other ways to make your move the perfect move. These are just a few removalist tips that will make your move go as quickly and be as stress free as possible.
