1. Declutter and Organise Your Items
Before packing, go through each room and remove anything you no longer need.
This helps you:
- Move only essential items
- Reduce moving costs
- Make unpacking easier
Disposing of, donating, or selling unnecessary belongings means your removalists can work more efficiently.
2. Pack Items Properly (Unless You’ve Booked Packers)
If you’ve chosen a moving package that includes packing services (available from many movers on Removalist Auction), the professionals will handle it.
If not:
- Use sturdy boxes
- Wrap fragile items carefully
- Label boxes with room names (e.g., “Kitchen”, “Bedroom 2”)
- Mark fragile boxes clearly
- Seal all boxes properly
Well-organised packing reduces the risk of damage and speeds up loading.
3. Disconnect and Prepare Appliances
Before movers arrive, ensure you:
- Unplug televisions, computers, and electronics
- Disconnect washing machines and fridges
- Empty and defrost your fridge and freezer
- Remove batteries from devices
- Secure loose cords
Movers can handle lifting and transporting, but appliances should be ready beforehand.
4. Move Small Items Out of the Way
Clear pathways for the removalists by:
- Stacking boxes neatly against a wall
- Clearing hallways
- Removing tripping hazards
- Ensuring driveways and entrances are accessible
This helps movers safely navigate your home.
5. Prepare Furniture for Safe Moving
If possible:
- Dismantle beds and large furniture
- Remove cushions from sofas
- Empty drawers and cupboards
- Secure fragile or glass components
If you’re using Furniture Removalists Adelaide, Brisbane, or Perth, they are trained to handle bulky and delicate items but having them prepared helps save time.
6. Reserve Parking or Lift Access (Especially for Apartments)
For apartment and high-rise moves:
- Book lift access
- Notify the building manager
- Reserve parking for the moving truck
This prevents delays and ensures a smoother moving day especially important for Brisbane movers, Gold Coast movers, and Sydney high-rise removals.
7. Keep Essentials Separate
Pack an essentials bag with:
- Keys
- Chargers
- Toiletries
- Medications
- Important documents
- A change of clothes
This avoids urgently searching through boxes once you arrive at your new home.
8. Do a Final Walk-Through
Before the movers arrive:
- Check all rooms and cupboards
- Confirm everything is packed
- Make sure fragile items are clearly marked
- Keep pets and kids safely out of the way
Once your removalists arrive, they’ll be ready to start immediately.
