Here’s a clear breakdown you can expect on moving day with a professional removals team:
1. Arrival and Introduction
- The removals team usually arrives at the scheduled time, often in a branded moving van.
- The team leader will introduce themselves, confirm details of the move, and walk through your home to understand the items being moved. For more information please visit Interstate Removalists
2. Preparation and Protection
- Movers will bring protective materials such as blankets, shrink wrap, and padding to safeguard furniture and fragile items.
- Floors, doors, and stair rails may be protected to prevent accidental damage.
- If you opted for a packing service, they’ll box up remaining items on the day.
3. Efficient Loading
- Items are carefully carried out, starting with larger furniture and appliances.
- Movers use trolleys, straps, and lifting techniques to ensure safe handling.
- The van is loaded strategically to maximize space and minimize shifting during transit.
4. Transport to the New Location
- The removals team drives your belongings to your new home or storage unit.
- If traveling long-distance, they may provide updates on estimated arrival time.
5. Unloading and Placement
- Movers unload belongings and place furniture in the rooms you direct.
- They often reassemble larger furniture (beds, wardrobes, etc.) if this was part of your package.
- Boxes are stacked neatly for easy access.
6. Final Checks
- The team will walk through the property with you to ensure everything has been delivered and placed correctly.
- You’ll typically be asked to sign off once satisfied.
7. Tips for a Smooth Day
- Keep essentials (documents, chargers, snacks, medication) in a personal bag that travels with you.
- Label boxes clearly with room names.
- Make sure parking and access are arranged for the moving truck.
- Have a plan for pets and young children so they’re safe and out of the way.
