Moving can feel overwhelming, but proper preparation can turn it into a smooth process. At smoovers, Melbourne’s trusted removalists, we've helped countless locals move efficiently. Here’s our comprehensive guide on how to get ready for your Melbourne move.
Step 1: Declutter Early
Before packing, go through your belongings. Donate or sell items you no longer need. Melbourne has many charity shops, such as Sacred Heart Mission or the Brotherhood of St Laurence.
Step 2: Book Your Movers
Reliable movers in Melbourne get booked quickly. Arrange your moving date with Smoovers at least 4 weeks ahead, especially during peak times (summer and weekends).
Step 3: Packing Supplies
Eco-friendly packing supplies can be sourced locally. Smoovers provides reusable moving boxes and biodegradable wraps to make your move sustainable.
Step 4: Label Everything Clearly
Clearly label your boxes with contents and the intended room. This helps your movers place everything correctly in your new home.
Step 5: Inform Utilities and Services
Don’t forget to notify your energy providers, Australia Post, internet services, and local councils about your address change to avoid disruptions.
Step 6: Pack an Essentials Box
Pack everyday necessities separately medication, toiletries, phone chargers, and important documents to easily access during your move.
Step 7: Moving Day Tips
Ensure clear access for the removalists. For Melbourne’s inner suburbs, arrange parking permits in advance via your local council website.
