There’s a lot more to moving house than we might realise. While it’s exciting to be starting life in a new home, moving involves packing, cleaning, follow-up work and even repairs. That’s why it’s important you’re well-prepared ahead of time. Here are some simple things you can do to make your move easier and as stress-free as possible.
Use Smart Packaging
Packing your essential items in transparent boxes will give you easy access once you arrive at your new home. Utensils, cutlery, devices and chargers can all benefit from being packed in clear boxes, as you’ll be able to quickly locate them and prevent them from getting lost among your other items and packaging.
Use Clothing, Linen Or Pillows For Cushioning
Save money on bubble wrap and other packaging products by using clothing, sheets or towels to shield your fragile items from breakages. Pillows are a useful way of filling gaps in boxes to prevent items from moving around while in transit.
Clever Labelling
Labelling might seem like a chore, but it will help make packing and unpacking much easier. Having a numbering or colour-coding system will ensure your movers take your boxes to the correct room. It’s also important you identify fragile items to make sure they’re handled safely.
Declutter
Decluttering your home before you start packing will ensure you have less to pack, less to move, and more money to spend on other things. Consider selling unused or unwanted items online, passing them on to family or friends, or donating them to people in need.
Hire A Mover
When you hire a mover, you’ll have trained people on hand with the skills and techniques needed to carry out an efficient, reliable move. All that will be left for you to do is sit back and relax. There are particular things to consider when hiring a mover:
• Price: Moving prices can vary, and it’s important you’re upfront with your movers about how many items you have and whether there are any obstacles that might impact the move. Many movers offer quotes that will give you an accurate assessment of cost. At Dawson Moving & Storage NQ, we offer free quotes on all our services and will work to deliver quality assistance aligning with your budget.
• Experience: A trustworthy, experienced removalist will ensure a quality job. Take the time to read reviews, noting companies that come highly recommended. We are trusted Townsville removalists backed by extensive expertise and quality feedback from our valued clients.
• Availability: Make sure a removalist company has the staff and equipment on hand to accommodate your move. We’ve got a strong team of personnel and a well-maintained fleet allowing us to cope with local, interstate, and even overseas relocations.
• Qualified: The last thing you want is damage to your furniture caused by an unqualified removalist. We are fully accredited with AFRA, requiring us to carry insurance and to stay up-to-date with industry regulations. You can truly rely on us to properly protect your furniture and items and move them without causing any damage.
