Moving Checklist

Moving has been rated as one of the most stressful events in one’s life. There is much to organise, plan for, and keep track of, and many people find themselves completely overwhelmed with their to-do lists.

Enter Royal Sydney Removals- your best Sydney removals service! We have created an end-to-end moving checklist to help you stay on track and feel more in control of the process. There is a lot to do, so we recommend that you start with the below steps at least one month before your move:

• Lock in your Royal Sydney Removals team.
  • We pride ourselves on being reliable, affordable, fast, and friendly. We are also fully insured, and it’s hard to beat our price! Ask us about any job, big or small. We can even transport pets!
• Gather your important documents (birth certificates, wills, etc) and store them in a waterproof folder so they don’t get lost or damaged during the move.
• Do a stock-take of your belongings and decide what you will take when you move, what you will sell, donate, or throw away.
  • You may need to organise a skip, rubbish collection, or host a garage sale.
• Use up all your pantry and fridge perishables and frozen foods.
  • If possible, create a meal plan that empties your kitchen by moving day, or invite all your friends and family over for a “moving out” dinner to use up all the food!
• Take stock of your more fragile items.
  • Create a list of all unique and fragile items that will be moved. Please speak to your Royal Sydney Removals team about how we can help you move these items with extra care.
• Check the manufacturer’s instructions for moving tips on large appliances like washing machines and fridges.

Moving Day

Your moving-out list for the day before includes the following:

• Provide clear instructions to your Royal Sydney Removal team
• Remove all contents from and defrost your freezer and fridge.
  See our article “Transporting Frozen Food while Moving” for more tips!
• Drain liquids from all of your appliances, such as washing machines, irons and ice makers
  • This will save the moving team time and help us move you quicker!
• Give your Royal Sydney Removals team a detailed tour of your home, giving clear moving instructions for each area.
  • Ensure there is adequate space and access for our moving truck
  • Confirm the destination address.
• Make sure that ‘high priority’ boxes are marked.
• Trust Sydney’s best removalist company, Royal Sydney Removals, to care for you!
