Expert Removalist Tips

It can be difficult to adjust to your new home when it's your first home removal. A paralysed you wonders, "What do I do first?". Not a problem. Our experienced removalists from City Removalist have some tips you might find useful.

Let's start by clearing the clutter!

It's common for people to have extra stuff they won't use. During a move, you spend too much time thinking about how to arrange all your belongings. Instead, divide your belongings into four categories: Keep, Pitch, Donate, and Sell.

Consider these two criteria when deciding what goes where: Have you used it within a year? Is it valuable in terms of monetary or emotional terms? You can put things in either 'Pitch' if they have flaws that render them unusable, 'Sell' if you can make some money from them on Gumtree or at a garage sale, or 'Donate' if they are usable but won't generate much income.

If it has sentimental or monetary value, pack it. Take it without a second thought. Moving house is time-consuming, this is even more important during interstate removals.

Create a Moving Checklist

It is said that knowledge is power. Moving is one of the most powerful experiences of your life. You can make or use a moving checklist if you do some research before moving. You'll feel less stressed with each task you complete once you write them down.

Boxes to Find

Moving with flimsy boxes that don't protect Grandma's China or Uncle Ian's pipe collection is a recipe for disaster. Ideally, you should get sturdy boxes from the removalists.

Since we want our customers' possessions to make it safely to their new home, we provide free moving boxes. 

Hire Removalists

Find out what professionals are available in your area. At the very least, they should be members of AFRA, the Australian Furniture Removalists Association. Consider getting referrals from your friends and reading online reviews. Make sure they can provide you with the help you need as you prepare to move. As most reputable removalists have busy schedules, hire them early in the process. If you forget to hire your preferred removalist, you may end up having to settle for a third-rate company.

Lastly, make sure you have moving insurance!

There is always the possibility for an accident, no matter how experienced your removalists are. You can't control the drunk driver who drives in the wrong lane, after all. Make sure you insure your belongings to ensure your peace of mind. It is always our advice to our customers to do so. At your peril, you should not ignore this important detail.

You can make your first move go smoothly with these tips. The experienced removalists at City Removalist can help you with your move, if you are looking for a removalist in Penrith, please give us a call on 1300 441 331.
