Moving Tips Learn How to Organise an Interstate Move | Page 14

Before moving…
1. If possible, clean your new place before you move in.
2. If you have to hire movers, check out their rules and policies before hiring
them.
3. Change your address for your accounts, utilities and subscriptions at least
two weeks before moving.
4. Measure the spaces of your new home where you intend to put specific
furniture or appliances, then measure your furniture and appliances as well. If
some pieces don’t fit, donate or sell it.
5. Fill the nail holes in your old home with a bar of soap.
6. Sort out things you need or those you want to bring to your new home and
things you would want to donate or sell.
7. Order a skip bin so that you can throw out rubbish as you go. Skip Bins
Sydney is a good one!
On the day you move…
7. Buy breakfast items that you can readily eat the morning after you move.
Sometimes, it would be a hassle to have to cook when everything around the
home is still a mess.
8. Keep a snack bin that has everything you need to snack in such as water,
chips, food or just about anything you want to munch on during the process of
moving.
9. If you have kids, let them join in the fun (and mess) of moving by allowing
them to pack their own things.
10. Pack all essentials (everything that could run the risk of getting stolen such
as cellphones or laptops) in one bag that you can carry.
