Without a Checklist!

The task of moving can sometimes seem like an impossible undertaking. A checklist of "things to do" can help alleviate that stress by being organized and planning ahead.

First, book a Brisbane removal company as soon as you know when you going to move, where you are moving and what you want moved. If you are renting notify your landlord of the moving date. If you think you may need temporary storage for your belongings, shop around for a facility.

Two months before the move, begin to sort out items you don't want or need. Plan a yard sale to dispose of unwanted items or donate them to a charitable organization. Now is also a good time to order boxes and supplies like bubble wrap, tape, and markers. You may need some specialty containers such as wardrobe boxes. Brisbane removalists will have these available.

One month before the move, confirm with your mover on the dates, times and any other details for the removal. Now is also a good time to begin packing. Pack only the things you use infrequently like holiday decor, sports equipment, kitchen appliances that are not used often, etc.
Be sure to label each box with its contents and the room to which it belongs.

Two weeks before the move, contact Brisbane removals and reconfirm the moving arrangements. Settle any bills with utility companies and check with your child's school to arrange a transfer of records.

A few days before the move clean out the freezer. Fill out a change of address form and schedule to have the telephone, internet, pay t.v. and electricity disconnected and re-connected at the new home. Pack up any loose items so when the removalists come they can be more efficient.

On the day of the move, lock all the doors and windows and do a final check of all cupboards and closets. Be sure to sign the inventory form provided by the movers. Leave your contact information with the moving truck drivers so they can reach you if needed. Finally, make sure the movers know their destination.

Moving is hard work and very tiring. However, having a checklist will make the task less stressful and more organized. Brisbane removalists can save you time and effort with their professional experience.
