4-6 Weeks Before Moving:
- Create a Moving Folder
Keep important documents, quotes, and moving-related notes all in one place—digital or physical. - Declutter Your Home
Moving is the perfect time to declutter. Sort through each room and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or discard. The less you move, the easier it will be! - Book Last Minute Removalist
Whether you’re moving across Sydney or just down the street, lock in your date with Last Minute Removalist early to secure your spot. We specialize in short-notice moves, so we’re ready when you are! - Notify Important Contacts
Inform your bank, employer, school, utilities, and any subscription services of your new address.
2-3 Weeks Before Moving:
- Gather Packing Supplies
Get boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Or ask Last Minute Removalist for packing assistance—we offer expert packing services to make your life easier. - Pack Non-Essentials
Start packing items you won’t need before the move—seasonal clothes, books, decorations, and extra kitchenware. - Label Everything
Write the contents and room destination on each box. Pro tip: Use color-coded labels or stickers to quickly identify which boxes go where. - Plan for Kids & Pets
If you have children or pets, make arrangements for their care on moving day. This way, they’re safe and comfortable while we handle the move.
1 Week Before Moving:
- Pack an Essentials Box
This is your “first-day” box, containing everything you’ll need right away—clothing, toiletries, medications, chargers, snacks, and important documents. - Prepare Appliances
Defrost the fridge, clean your oven, and disconnect any appliances you’re moving. If you need help, our team can take care of disconnecting and reconnecting for you. - Confirm Details with Last Minute Removalist
Double-check your booking with us, including the address, moving time, and any special instructions for fragile or heavy items.
1-2 Days Before Moving:
- Finish Packing
Pack up the remaining items, including daily essentials like kitchenware, bathroom supplies, and any last-minute laundry. - Take Photos of Your Electronics
Snap a quick photo of the back of your TV, computer, or other electronics to make re-assembly easier in your new home. - Prepare a Survival Kit
Have snacks, drinks, and cleaning supplies ready for moving day. You might also want to have toilet paper and hand soap handy in your new home.
