Your week-by-week timeline
Follow this timeline and you will never feel rushed. Each step keeps you ahead of the move.
6–8 weeks before
Plan & book early
Get quotes from 2–3 movers, compare itemised pricing, and book your slot. Booking early locks in better rates and your preferred date.
4–5 weeks before
Declutter & sort
Sell, donate or discard what you no longer need. Less to move means a smaller truck, lower cost and a cleaner start.
3 weeks before
Arrange documents & services
Transfer school records, update address with banks and utilities, and schedule disconnections at your old home.
2 weeks before
Start packing non-essentials
Pack off-season clothes, books, decor and items you will not need before the move. Label every box by room and contents.
1 week before
Confirm & pack essentials
Confirm your moving date and time with the crew. Pack an essentials box with clothes, toiletries, chargers and documents for the first 48 hours.
Moving day
Supervise & hand over
Do a final walkthrough with the crew lead, sign the inventory list, and keep valuables and documents with you personally.
Packing tips
Pack like the professionals do
Room-by-room packing
Pack one room at a time and label each box with its destination room. It makes loading, unloading and unpacking far faster.
Wrap fragiles properly
Use bubble wrap and corrugated dividers for glass and ceramics. Place heavier items at the bottom and fill gaps with packing paper to prevent shifting.
Use the right box sizes
Heavy items like books go in small boxes; light bulky items like pillows go in large ones. Never overload a box past 20 kg.
Keep hardware together
Bag screws, bolts and brackets from dismantled furniture and tape them to the piece they belong to. You will thank yourself at reassembly.
Seal and tape securely
Tape the bottom and top of every box in an H-pattern. Reinforce boxes holding heavy or fragile items with an extra layer.
Photograph connections
Snap a photo of the back of your TV, modem and entertainment setup before unplugging. It makes reconnecting everything effortless.
Moving day
Keep moving day calm and in control
Moving day is when good preparation pays off. These essentials keep everything on track from the first box loaded to the last one placed.
Always keep valuables, jewellery and important documents with you personally — never in the moving truck.
- Keep valuables, jewellery and important documents with you — never in the truck.
- Pack a separate "first night" bag with clothes, toiletries, phone chargers and medications.
- Be present for the inventory check at pickup and delivery, and sign only after verifying.
- Take meter readings and photos of your old and new homes for your records.
- Keep some snacks, water and cash handy for the crew and yourself.
- Confirm the delivery address, floor and parking access with your coordinator the day before.
After the move
Settle in without the stress
Unpack essentials first
Set up the bedroom and bathroom first so you can rest and refresh. Then tackle the kitchen and living areas over the following days.
Check for damage promptly
Inspect your belongings against the inventory list as you unpack. Report any damage to your mover within the claim window — usually 7 days.
Update your address
Notify banks, insurers, subscriptions and government IDs of your new address. Redirect mail through the post office for the first few months.
Settle the family in
Explore the new neighbourhood together, find local doctors and schools, and let kids help arrange their own rooms to feel at home faster.
