Removalists Melbourne
Moving your home is not as 
easy as hiring a moving 
company and "expert" 
everything is done.
No matter how well the 
moving company will take 
some steps you need to take 
so that the movers can do 
their job properly.
Here are 16 things to do before the movers arrive to help your relocation be as 
smooth and cost effective as possible:
Sort and Get 
Rid of Stuff 
Before You 
The upside of moving is that it forces you to clean out 
Move the house by getting rid of unwanted and unnecessary 
belongings. Before you move, it is a good idea to sort 
through your things so that you do not stop moving stuff 
that you do not need and have never used.
Pack your items and label your moving 
boxes
As your package travels far and wide, it is inevitably subject to shocks. Stop your 
objects damaging each other by wrapping each item separately in bubble wrap 
and keeping your fragile items right in the middle of the package.
A truck full of identical boxes is a nightmare at the other end, so take our advice 
and mark your moving boxes well. Your professional movers know where things 
are going and you have to keep your sanity intact.
Clean your home and dust 
your furniture
When it's time to move, it's also time to 
clean up. Not only should you clean 
the place you are leaving, but you 
should also clean your new home. 
Moving into a new and clean home is a 
great feeling.
Collect all your little valuables, 
jewelry, etc. and move them 
yourself
Even before hiring a moving company, it is very important to 
collect all jewelry, cash, small electronics, and other valuable 
items and place them in a safe place and move them yourself.
Clear Pathways Inside The Home
. One of the first things that movers will do 
when they show up is to start adding and 
protecting your home. Make sure you 
have given enough space for movers to 
pick up your things from home. Also, 
make sure that your stairs are clear and 
free of objects that are in the way.
Plan where the 
moving truck will park
Make sure you have planned where the moving 
truck will park. Move all vehicles that may be on 
the road or in the garage.
Hire babysitters and pet sitters 
on a moving day
The last thing you want is children or animals running around in the way of the movers. This 
is very insecure for everyone involved in the move. Make sure you have set up a babysitting 
or pet sitter for the day of moving.
Take pictures and take an inventory of all your items
Nowadays, it is very easy to quickly 
take some pictures of your items and 
their conditions before moving. If you 
do, you will be sure that you actually 
had that item or that there was no 
damage before the move.
It is also a good idea to take pictures of 
your electronic components such as 
your TV and cable so that you can put 
everything together in your new home.
Create Boxes For “Last Load Items”
These types of boxes are the everyday boxes that you may need access 
to. Whatever you feel you need access to, but do not have enough space 
to move around in your own car, create a special area for these items in 
your home and tell your movers Melbourne.
These items are usually for your first night. Here are some popular things 
to put in this box: Toiletries, Shower curtain, Towels, First aid kit, Toilet 
paper, Cleaners, Dish Soap & Sponge, Dish Towels, Garbage bags, 
Portable tool kit, etc.
Disconnect your appliances 
and unplug the refrigerator
Make sure either you or a professional disconnects these items 
before the movers show up.
Movers do not move 
hazardous materials. 
Make sure you dispose 
Discard hazardous of hazardous materials 
. materials you no longer need or 
. can not move to your 
new location.
Know The Weather
In any case, if there’s going to be some 
weather on moving day, make sure you have 
handy enough towels and blankets to protect 
your flooring.
Be Present On 
Moving Day
Being present on moving day will 
help everything go smoothly when 
the movers have any questions for 
you.
Know where 
everything is going in If you really want to be organized and make the move go smoothly, you can create a simple 
the new home and floor plan of the new home and place all the furniture in the drawing. You can then make 
clearly communicate copies and distribute them to the moving 
company.
to the mover Movers may still have questions about certain 
objects, but the floor plan gives them an idea of 
 the obvious ones such as the sofa, dining 
table, etc.
