Fast Furniture Movers Today in Melbourne

Moving today at short notice? First thing’s first – you need fast movers. You then need to organise an overnight bag for when you arrive at your new destination. At the end of a long day packing, lifting, organising and driving, having a few easily accessible creature comforts and necessities can make all the difference. Be prepared and pack your overnight bag first before the essentials are placed in cardboard boxes, making them difficult to find after arriving. Here’s what you’ll need:

 

Preparing an Overnight Bag for Today Movers 

 

Tea & Coffee

Are you brave enough to attempt unpacking without caffeine? Save yourself having to scout around the neighbourhood wearing PJs in the morning by having a few t-bags and some coffee on hand, and pick up fresh milk in the evening before turning in. If the neighbours decide to pop in and introduce themselves it’s also nice to be able to offer them a cuppa.

Toiletries
Pack a small selection of toiletries that you will need easy access to on the first night and the next morning before unloading the boxes. Include things like deodorant, hand soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, pain killers (for any post-move aches and pains), and don’t forget the most important of all – toilet paper!

Snacks
Pack some cereal or a loaf of bread and spread for breakfast and throw in a few muesli bars to have on hand for a quick refuel before you get a chance to hit the grocery store. It’s unlikely you’re going to feel like preparing a home cooked meal after a long day with the fast movers coordinating the relocation, so pizza delivery is always a favourite for the first night in your new home.

Clothes
Regardless of the weather, you’re probably going to feel like a refreshing shower at the end of the day, so pack some towels in your overnight bag along with pyjamas and a fresh set of clothes to begin the next morning. If you have labelled your linen boxes correctly, finding a towel and bath mat shouldn’t be a huge ordeal, but if you’ve got a few in your overnight bag you won’t have to break open boxes prematurely.

Miscellaneous
Pack your phone charger – you’ll miss that when you run out of battery right before calling the pizza delivery! You’ll also want the kettle for coffees, a toaster for breakfast, some easily accessible tools for re-assembling furniture, prescription medications, plastic bags and a couple of drinking vessels.

Moving house is like filing an annual tax return; it’s not something you have to do often, but when the time comes, it can feel like a taxing series of events that if not planned in sequence can cause a butterfly effect of setbacks. When properly managed however, it’s possible to avoid the common pitfalls of moving house and minimise the workload and stress for everyone involved. Steer clear of these common pitfalls and you’ll be well on your way to a smooth move interstate: 

The Good Guide to Moving House

 

Pitfall #1 – Deciding against professional help

One of the biggest decisions to make when moving house is choosing for or against contracting professional help (See post on DIY moves vs. hiring a removalist). It’s often best to avoid the temptation to enlist the generous help of family and friends due to time constraints, experience and resources. Despite their best intentions, it may not actually be convenient for them to be right there with you from beginning to end during interstate removals Melbourne. You also need to total the costs of materials, time off work and vehicle hire when compared to a Cheapest Removalists quote. As Melbourne’s cheapest removalists, you might be surprised to find the difference is less than expected.

Pitfall #2 – Not packing properly

One of the most common mistakes is careless packing for interstate moves, which can end up costing more time and money due to breaks and damage in transit and unpacking at the other end. The following are necessary packing materials and can be supplied by Cheapest Removalists upon request:
•    Strong boxes – appropriately labelled with contents and room
•    Packing paper – butcher’s paper is preferable
•    Packing tape – thick and durable
•    Permanent marker – waterproof  
•    Bubble wrap – for fragile glass and artworks
•    Scissors – don’t waste time with a blunt pair
•    Packing blankets – for protecting mirrors and furniture 

Pitfall #3 – Kids & pets 

There are some tasks that are appropriate for enlisting the assistance of a trusted family member or friend. The kids may not be so helpful on moving day, the dog may get too excited and the cat might attempt an escape – just what you need in the midst of moving house! These are valuables that cannot be replaced or contained in a box, so organizing supervision for these precious assets may be the difference between chaos and order.

A little planning and management will go a long way to make the move an exciting, stress-less experience. Weather it’s for interstate removals Melbourne or a move around the corner, call Cheapest Removalists on 1300 299 969 and find out how affordable professional help and advice can be for a move tailored to suit your individual or family needs.
