We all know how stressful moving day can be… Luckily Ouch My Back, Victoria’s best rated moving company has an essential moving checklist to help.
Your Victoria Moving Checklist
Essential Moving Tips
- Get rid of everything that is not being moved – either through a junk removal service or donation.
- Make sure you’ve made the proper arrangements at each end – block off elevators and reserving parking spots for the moving truck are two big ones.
- Make sure you register your new address with all appropriate parties.
- Get moving supplies – boxes, tape, bubble wrap.
- Remember to label the room you want the boxes/items to go in.
- If you have value items get them insured for the move – if anything happens it is well worth the money.
- When at the drop-off destination, direct the movers where items need to go as they are unloading – this saves you work later.
- Hire Ouch My Back Moving to carry out your move!
Ouch My Back Tips
- Allocate your time wisely; estimate the time you think it will take to get ready for your move, then double it.
- Keep boxes full but not too heavy – remember boxes are stacked on top of each other, if they are not full enough or too heavy they can get damaged
- Boxes are usually loaded first so keep them in a place that’s quick for the movers – this will save you money at the end of the day
- On moving day give your movers as much direction and detail as possible – this helps us give you the best possible move.
- Do a walk through of the pick up and drop off destination and make sure everything is accounted for.
- Finally… Enjoy your new home!
Our final thought
Moving is a big deal. You’re leaving a place that you’ve made your own and venturing into a completely new environment where you have to start all over again.
If you can, try and enjoy the experience. Explore your new neighbourhood, go out for dinner at a local restaurant, speak with the neighbours, decorate. Life is short and so why not make the most of it!
