Smart moves are organised and less stress. When moving preparing early makes the difference in the degree of difficulty in the move. AAA City Removalist offers the following tips on moving smart, not harder.
Moving Smarter in Sydney
Packing is the biggest concern for most property owners. However, there are many elements involved in a relocation. From transferring records, to changing your address, to saying goodbye to old friends, when done in a steady and timely manner, you’ll find that your relocation is one that isn’t high in stress. Following is a checklist to help you to move smarter, not harder.
Five Weeks Prior to Moving Day
At the five week point prior to moving day, you should have researched and hired a Removalist company in Sydney to handle your relocation. Begin to sort through your items and get rid of any items that you no longer need or do not want in your new home. Begin an inventory list of your items that you’ll be moving. Contact your moving company to enquire whether they offer free or discounted moving materials.
- Empty all gas cylinders and air bottles and dispose of flammable containers in a safe manner.
