It is often hard to guarantee whether you will be in the same place tomorrow that you are in today. You might get a new job in another city on the opposite side of the country, you might need to move closer to your family, you might be getting married – the list of situations that can arise is endless.
However, while moving to a city in a new state may be exciting, it is also a hassle. You have to move all your belongings, which will require the services of a removalist company. If the move is a short-notice one, hiring a moving company can be tough. There might be additional charges for emergency handling or you might not even find a mover in time.
A reliable removalist company that comes at short notice without outrageous charges is a rare find. But with Chess Moving in the picture, it is not impossible. In fact, it is easier than ever. With over 100 years of experience and offices in every state, we can help you move to any part of Australia with ease and convenience. We are family-owned and operated with our own fleet which gives you extra peace of mind.
WHAT TO DO WHEN MOVING INTERSTATE LAST MINUTE
The call for a sudden move can put you into a state of panic. But with a solid, fail-proof game plan, the entire process can be completed smoothly without any hassle. Here are a few tips to help you out.
Make a Checklist With a Timeline
While it may seem a waste of time when you are short on it, a detailed plan can actually be an effective way to move at short notice. Make an inventory of all your belonging, followed by a list of all the things you need to do for the move. Integrate these two into an efficient timeline with strict deadlines so as not to forget anything.
Decide What to Do With Each Belonging
Once you have stock of all your items, it is time to decide what to do with each. Some you will be taking with you to your new house while others you will have to sell, donate or throw away. Do not be unnecessarily sentimental and decide to take everything with you. Find out what appliances, furniture and other bulky stuff is already there at the new place and get rid of the duplicates in your old house.
Take Care of Documents and Utilities
This is the most important task. You must pack your important documents, ensuring you are not forgetting anything. Moreover, you will also have to call the requisite authorities to cut off your utilities like water, electricity and gas when you move. Ensure that your address change is informed to the post office and other necessary organisations. Also, take care of insurance deeds and licenses, especially in regard to the new city you are moving to.
Finish the Packing Work
When you start packing, first pack the least used items and slowly move to the daily essentials. This ensures the least amount of inconvenience. You can source packing materials for free or even at cheap rates from restaurants, departmental stores, liquor stores and other concerns that receive items in packages and will ultimately throw them away. Keep toiletries and a set of clothes to be taken in a small bag with you since you may need these on your journey.
Hire a Reputable Moving Company
It is imperative that you choose a trusted moving company when shifting. Check the track record and testimonials of the company to ensure that the service you are hiring is capable of safely completing the move.
Why Hire a Specialist Moving Company
The benefits of a specialist moving company lie in their knowledge and expertise. Not only will they know the right ways to pack and move every item but they will also have the necessary equipment and vehicles for safe transportation. You get value for your money and much-needed help, especially if you are moving alone, with a specialist moving company.
