Moving tips for Bundy moves

Organise utilities early

One of the first steps is arranging your electricity, phone and gas services. Contact your providers to book a connection at your new address and a disconnection at your current home. Doing this ahead of time helps you avoid delays or last-minute stress once you arrive.

Set up mail redirection

Even with the most careful planning, it is easy to forget to update every business or service with your new details. Setting up mail redirection through Australia Post ensures important letters still reach you while you settle into your new home.

Declutter before you pack

Moving is the perfect opportunity to look at what you really want to take with you. Selling, donating or discarding items you no longer need will reduce the number of boxes you pack and can also lower the overall cost of your removal.

Keep pets safe and calm

The days leading up to a move can be unsettling for pets. Consider having them stay with a friend or at a trusted local pet motel. It keeps them safe on moving day and gives you one less thing to worry about while the house is busy.

Use quality moving boxes

Good packing materials make a noticeable difference. We recommend strong removal cartons rather than plastic tubs, as tubs can crack or break during handling and transport. For fragile or delicate items, our team can supply professional packing services if preferred.

Label every box clearly

A simple labelling system saves hours of unpacking time. Mark each box with your surname and the room it belongs to. Even better, give yourself a few hints about what's inside to streamline unpacking. When your boxes arrive, our team can place them directly into the correct areas of your new home, making your first few days much easier.

Dismantle flat-pack furniture

Kit and flat-pack furniture should be dismantled before moving, as it is not designed to travel while assembled. If you would rather leave this task to the professionals, our trained team can dismantle and reassemble items for you as part of your move.

Plan the layout of your new home

If you have access to your new place, sketch a quick floor plan or take some notes on where major furniture items should go. This helps our removalists place things correctly the first time, saving you the effort of shifting heavy furniture later.

Having a small box with everyday items makes your first night far more comfortable. Include items like:

• Linen
• Towels
• Toiletries
• Medications
• Snacks
• Cleaning products
• Phone chargers
• Any important documentation, such as passports, licenses, and medical information

Keep this box with you so you can access it easily when you arrive.
