Do Removalists in Melbourne Disassemble and Reassemble Furniture?

Do Removalists Disassemble and Reassemble Furniture?

Imagine this: You’re all set for your big move. You’ve packed your boxes, sorted out your utilities, and even said your goodbyes. But then, you stand in front of your massive L-shaped sofa or your intricately designed four-poster bed, and you realize, “How on earth am I going to move this?” The thought of disassembling and reassembling large furniture can be, let’s face it, overwhelming.

If you’re in Melbourne and pondering whether professional removalists can assist with the intricacies of furniture assembly and disassembly, the answer is a resounding yes. This service, offered by many reputable removalists like Brilliance Removalists Melbourne, ensures that moving is a breeze from start to finish.

Why You Should Opt for Disassembly and Reassembly Services

Skill and Efficiency

Furniture disassembly and reassembly require a certain level of expertise. A professional team can carry out the task much faster and more efficiently than someone without experience.

Safety First

Inexperienced handling can result in personal injury and damage to the furniture itself. A professional team is trained to handle these tasks safely.

Stress Reduction

Not having to worry about the cumbersome task of furniture assembly allows you to focus on other crucial aspects of moving, making the whole process less stressful.

Real-life Case: Meet Sarah

Sarah, a single mother in Melbourne, was moving to a new house. With her hands full with two young kids, she knew she couldn’t manage furniture assembly on her own. Enter Brilliance Removalists Melbourne. Not only did they disassemble her large wardrobes and her children’s bunk beds, but they also ensured that everything was reassembled in her new home, exactly as it was. She expressed that hiring professionals was the best decision she made during her move.

How Far in Advance Should I Book a Removalist in Melbourne?

How Far in Advance Should I Book a Removalist?

Moving homes is a multi-faceted process that involves a whirlwind of decisions, tasks, and timelines. It’s like conducting a symphony where every instrument has its role to play. The violins of packing, the cellos of paperwork, and the trumpets of property handover—all must be perfectly tuned. But at the helm of it all is the conductor: your chosen removalist company. The question now arises—how far in advance should you engage this conductor for your move in Melbourne?

The Early Bird Gets the Worm, but How Early?

The general wisdom is—the earlier, the better. But let’s add some nuance to that.

The Busy Season Factor

During certain periods, like summer and the end of the financial year, removalists are swamped with bookings. If your move coincides with these times, booking at least 8 weeks in advance is not just smart—it’s crucial.

A Tale of Two Moves

Consider James, who moved last December, right in the thick of the holiday season. He reached out to removalists 3 weeks before his moving date, only to find they were all booked. Desperate, he had to settle for a less-reputable, uninsured company and ended up regretting it when some of his valuables were damaged in transit.

Now, consider Sarah, who had also planned to move during the busy season. She had read James’ unfortunate Yelp review and decided to book her removalist 10 weeks in advance. She was able to secure her first-choice removalist—Brilliance Removalists Melbourne—and her move was as smooth as silk.

Complexity and Size of the Move

If your move involves specialized items like pianos or fine art, or if you’re moving a 4-bedroom home rather than a studio apartment, more preparation time is needed. In such cases, a 6-week advance booking is advisable.

Spontaneous Moves

Life doesn’t always give us ample time to prepare. If you have to move suddenly for a job or family reasons, you might not have the luxury of advance planning. Reputable companies like Brilliance Removalists Melbourne sometimes have last-minute slots, but the options could be limited.

How Do I Choose the Best Removalist?

Choosing the right removalist can be the difference between starting your new chapter on a high note or dealing with unnecessary stress and complications. So how does one make an informed decision, particularly in Melbourne where options abound? The answer lies in what we at Brilliance Removalists Melbourne refer to as the 5Cs: Credentials, Customer Reviews, Costs, Customization, and Communication.

The Importance of Credentials

Imagine you are entrusting all your worldly possessions to someone. Would you hand them over to just anyone? The answer is a resounding no. Always opt for removalists who are certified and accredited by organizations such as AFRA (Australian Furniture Removers Association) and ISO.

Listen to the Crowd: Customer Reviews

One of the most authentic ways to gauge the quality of any service is by listening to what their customers have to say.

Testimonials From Our Clients:

Bohemia’s experience highlights the hard work and care we invest in every task.

Are Melbourne Removalists Insured for Damages?

Are Removalists Insured for Damages?

Moving to a new place can be both exhilarating and stressful. While the idea of a fresh start is exciting, the physical act of relocating all your belongings can be fraught with uncertainty. Among the most pressing concerns many people face is, “What happens if my possessions get damaged during the move?”

At Brilliance Removalists Melbourne, we understand that this question isn’t merely a passing concern but a significant factor influencing your choice of removalist. That’s why we’ve decided to demystify the subject of insurance, focusing on Melbourne removalists in particular.

The Importance of Insurance: Why You Need to Be Covered

The simplest way to describe the importance of insurance is through the age-old adage, “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

A Cautionary Tale

Take the case of Jane, a busy professional who recently moved to Melbourne from Sydney. She opted for a low-cost, uninsured removalist to save some money. However, her vintage chandelier didn’t make it in one piece. Jane had to bear the full cost of repairing her cherished heirloom. Had she chosen an insured removalist, the story could have ended quite differently.

Types of Insurance: What To Look For

When vetting your options, it’s essential to understand the types of insurance offered by Melbourne removalists. At the very minimum, your removalist should provide Public Liability and Goods in Transit insurance. Some even offer full-value protection plans.

7 Ways To Minimise Downtime When Your Business Moves To A New Location

7 Ways To Minimise Downtime When Your Business Moves To A New Location

One of the questions removalists get asked a lot by businesses whenever they are hired for an office relocation is, “How do we minimize downtime?”. This is an understandable concern for a company given that its entire office staff and facilities will be moving, and whilst that is occurring, its operations will inevitably be disrupted.

The answers given by removalists will differ depending on the type of business involved, the specifics of the move, the distance between locations, and the types of equipment being moved. However, some general principles should be followed and from them, here are seven ways businesses can minimize downtime when moving their office’s location.                   

Start Planning As Soon As Possible

To minimize downtime, you should start planning for your office relocation immediately after the decision to move has been made, even if you have not yet chosen the new location. The earlier you start planning and making contingencies, the greater the chance there is a smooth and uneventful move that will go a long way to reducing downtime.

Employ Professional Removalists

After the new location has been agreed upon, start looking for removalists as early as possible. Checking their credentials, such as reviews, will point you in the right direction towards a professional, reliable office removalist company. Once you hire them, they can offer much advice to make the move easier. Downtime is minimized by choosing the optimal time and date and having the removalist pack as much as possible rather than staff.

Plan And Coordinate A Downtime Mitigation Strategy

This additional planning will be beneficial as it focuses specifically on how you can reduce and mitigate any downtime. Start by discussing this with your removalists, plus you should also confer with those who work within your business for their ideas and suggestions. Any outside agencies affecting the downtime should also be consulted as part of this planning.

Do Melbourne Removalists Offer Storage Solutions?

Do Melbourne Removalists Offer Storage Solutions?

It’s often said that moving is one of life’s most stressful experiences, right up there with getting married or starting a new job. And yet, amid the chaos of cardboard boxes, farewell parties, and countless checklists, there’s one aspect that many overlook until the eleventh hour: storage.

Whether it’s for downsizing, bridging gaps between leases, or simply creating space for renovations, storage solutions are more than a ‘nice to have’—they are a ‘need to have’ for many. If you’re planning a move in Melbourne and wondering if your removalist company can double as your temporary vault, you’re in for some good news.

The Short Answer: Yes, Many Do

Many reputable removalists, including Brilliance Removalists Melbourne, offer integrated storage services to make your moving experience as seamless as possible. But let’s dig a bit deeper into what you should expect and consider.

What Types of Storage Solutions are Available?

On-Site Storage

The simplest storage solution involves portable containers that are placed at your property. These are perfect if you need immediate access to your belongings.

Short-Term Storage

If you’re in a transitional period—perhaps between leases or waiting for your new home to be move-in ready—short-term storage is your go-to option. This could range from a week to a couple of months.

Long-Term Storage

For items that you don’t need immediate access to, long-term storage, extending for several months or even years, can be arranged.

Real-life Scenario: Meet Emily

Emily, a Melbourne-based graphic designer, was caught in a peculiar situation. Her lease was ending, but her new home wouldn’t be ready for another two months. She turned to Brilliance Removalists Melbourne, who not only managed her move but also stored her household items safely in a climate-controlled facility for the interim period. Emily was particularly impressed that she could access her belongings during that time for any essentials she might have forgotten.

How To Ensure You Lift With Care During Your House Move

How To Ensure You Lift With Care During Your House Move

Whilst hiring removalists to help and facilitate your home move will mean many of the tasks are taken out of your hands, it does not mean that you, and possibly your family, will have nothing to do. In the buildup to your moving day, there will be numerous so-called administrative tasks, such as switching utility companies and arranging broadband for your new home.

There are also likely to be many physical activities, and we want to focus on these here, especially those involving lifting. Although on the day, almost all the lifting required will be done by your removalists, you and those living with you may have to lift several items before that moving day.

Examples of this will be carrying boxes when they are fully packed, moving items around so they do not block walkways within your home, and also, if you are disassembling any items such as furniture, those individual parts, some of which might be heavy, will need to be stored safely within your home. You might be able to think of other examples, which leads us to conclude that lifting will be a part of your preparations for moving home.

As such, it is imperative that you, and anyone else doing the lifting, know how to do so safely so the risk of injuries, such as pulled muscles, strained ligaments, and, worst of all, a slipped disc in the back, are eliminated. To that aim, here are some simple but essential tips on how to lift safely and thus avoid injuries.

Never Lift If You Have An Existing Muscular Injury: Hopefully, you know that you or anyone in the family, should not attempt to lift heavier items if a current injury exists. This is especially so if the damage is muscular, as any existing strains or sprains could worsen.

4 Moving Mistakes To Avoid If You Decide To Make Another Country Your Home

4 Moving Mistakes To Avoid If You Decide To Make Another Country Your Home

For those who love travelling across the world, visiting different countries and experiencing various cultures, we are sure there has been at least one of those locations you have seen where the thought of calling international removalists to arrange to move your home there has entered your mind.

Indeed, we are confident that most people fortunate enough to spend time overseas have fallen so in love with a particular country or city they have dreamed about what it would be like to call that place home. This is especially so when the location happens to be so idyllic that it seems life would be a continuous series of days spent in paradise.

Coming back to reality, unfortunately, not everyone can move overseas for various reasons such as their employment, business, family commitments, and quite simply that they do not have the funds it would take to move. However, for those that do not have any of these barriers in their way and who wish to move to another country, it does not always follow that; if you do move, everything works like a dream, and often, it can be more like a nightmare.

We are not talking here about a chosen country not being all it seemed to be or calamities, such as the home they bought suddenly needing extensive and expensive repairs. Thankfully, it may not be as dramatic, but their move is compromised due to one or more mistakes made by themselves. So, to alert you to these mistakes and significantly help you not make them, here are four mistakes to avoid when moving to a new life overseas.

Little To No Research

Whichever country you wish to move to, having several holidays is not enough for you to know all there is to know about living there. This is where many people make the mistake of thinking that a holiday is a mirror image of residency, which could not be further from the truth. Research into residency entitlement and visas, employment, housing, schooling if you have children, lifestyles, local customs, and so much more must be undertaken before deciding to move there.

10 Essential Steps For A Stress-Free House Move

10 Essential Steps For A Stress-Free House Move

Even if you have hired the best removalists to help you with your home move, it can still be a stressful experience. One reason for this is that moving home is not something we do every day, so, for most people, it is something that takes them out of their comfort zone given the many unknowns.

It might help you to know that 99.99% of all home moves go ahead and complete without any major hitches, so the statistics are certainly on your side. However, we are sure there are many doubts in your mind if you are moving home soon, so here are ten proven steps that can help remove much of the stress.

Create A Moving Schedule

Good planning is essential for a stress-free and successful house move, and a core element of that planning, as it is with many projects, is to create a schedule. Even months out from your move, you can set a timeline to ensure everyone, including yourself, knows what is happening and when.

Create A Checklist

Continuing with the good planning theme, the next step is to create a checklist. We suggest you sit down, preferably with those who live with you, and brainstorm everything you can think of that needs to be done as part of your move. Then, tidy up your checklist by organising each item into a category, and delegating it to whoever is to action it.

Establish Your Budget

We are still planning, and this time it is your budget. This will include moving expenses such as your removalists, packing materials, and storage if necessary. Also, think of ad hoc expenditures such as take-away meals on the day you are moving, and purchases for your new home such as new curtains, for example.

7 Health And Safety Matters Removalists Must Prioritise

7 Health And Safety Matters Removalists Must Prioritise

For those responsible for running removalists, many tasks must be completed. In addition to keeping their clients happy by ensuring that the removalist services they provide are of the highest order, they also have obligations towards their employees. A large part of those obligations will relate to health and safety, and under that umbrella, the health and safety of clients will also be found.

When you consider the number of ways in which employees and clients could be at risk of injury, or worse, should something as part of a house move or office relocation go wrong, it should come as no surprise that removalist companies must take health and safety extremely seriously. Here are seven significant health and safety matters removalists must prioritise as part of their operations.

Health And Safety Policy

For removalists to comply with their legal obligations and meet or even exceed many of the industry’s standards, they must have a health and safety policy. Health and safety policies will cover matters such as the responsibilities of the company management and employees and the company’s procedures related to health and safety matters.

Health And Safety Training For Staff

A huge priority for removalists is to ensure that the staff working for them have been given adequate training relating to all aspects of their work, especially training that focuses on working safely. This will start from the beginning via their induction training and should proceed to cover other matters such as safe lifting techniques and safe use of any equipment used during a house move or office relocation.

Proper And Safe Equipment

Removalists use many types of equipment, including hydraulic trollies, packing materials, boxes, cartons, and straps. For these and any other equipment that might be used as part of a move, the removalist company must ensure that they are of a sufficient standard, checked as required, and used correctly. Training staff to use the equipment properly also falls within this.

7 Amazing Tips To Reduce Your House Moving Costs

7 Amazing Tips To Reduce Your House Moving Costs

Moving home invariably means you have to spend money on such diverse but essential things, ranging from takeaway meals for your family on a moving day to the removalists transporting all your belongings from your old home to your new one.

You might be lucky and have plenty of financial resources, which means you will not be too concerned regardless of what it costs. However, not everyone is in this fortunate position, and many about to move home need to find ways to limit the costs of their home move. Ever the helpful, we have outlined below seven awesome tips that can help you save money in several ways.

Plan And Prepare Properly

This tip will not only save you money, but a lot of time, stress, and worry too. Planning your move carefully, and making all the preparations for it, will ensure that there are no additional costs you incur due to doing things at the last minute or having to put the right mistakes you make due to poor planning.

Choose Your Removalists Wisely

We must stress we are not saying that you pick the cheapest removalists. However, it pays for you to research them properly, get quotations, and select the removalists that offer the best value for money. This should also ensure that you hire reputable removalists who will be insured in the unlikely event of any of your items being broken or damaged versus an uninsured one where you have to pay for that replacement.

Choose The Optimal Time To Move For Lower Fees

If the timing of your home move is open-ended, meaning you can choose any time, then you can save significant amounts on removalists fees as a result. Avoiding the peak time of summer and opting to move on the days that removalists offer reduced fees can mean far lower moving costs.

Time Factors To Consider When Deciding When To Move Home

Time Factors To Consider When Deciding When To Move Home

One point that should be more obvious than it is is that people move home almost every day of the year, which means removalists very rarely have time to put their feet up and relax for a day or two, let alone a whole week. Many factors will influence when someone moves home, and it will often be the case that matters beyond their control dictate the timing.

For example, the timing of a job relocation and the necessary home move may be down to the employer’s choosing. The time it takes the bank to agree on a mortgage is another. Or it could be the landlord whose apartment you will rent wishes to refurbish, delaying the date for moving in. Add to these any one of hundreds of other matters that could influence when a home move takes place.

Of course, the timing of your home move may be entirely in your hands, so you can choose the date that suits you. However, that date should not be arrived at by throwing a dart at a wall calendar. Matters such as hiring removalists and their availability will be one to cover, and there are other timing factors that you should consider, such as those we have highlighted below.

Moving In The Summer

Most people, if asked when they believe the best time of year to move home is, will likely say during the summer months, and in most cases, that is true. There are many advantages to moving home in summer, the most obvious being that the days are longer and therefore you have daylight from early morning to late at night, making any home move easier.

Summer is also more likely to have suitable weather for a home move, and although it might mean having plenty of cold drinks on hand for your removalists, the fact that you are not competing with wind and rain makes a huge difference. One point to note is that summer is the peak season for removalists, so the fees tend to be higher than at other times.

Your 10-Step Checklist For Moving Interstate

Your 10-Step Checklist For Moving Interstate

There are countless examples of people travelling across the country for a holiday and loving that holiday destination so much that they decide to move there, meaning that rather than needing a travel agent the next time they travel there, they require the help of their local removalists.

Removalists are not just experts in helping people move from one part of a city to another, but they also assist clients moving home to another state within Australia or internationally when they decide to live in another country. Often the reasons for driving such distances relate to employment or business.

However, as we have mentioned, it could also be that the person and their family have decided to make a destination their permanent home rather than somewhere they go on holiday once a year.

Moving such a long distance is more involved than simply moving a few blocks away. However, it need not be any more stressful, especially if the move is planned correctly and experienced removalists are hired to help with the entire moving process.

To help make it even easier, we strongly suggest using a checklist to ensure that everything that needs to be done is done. Here is a 10-step list for moving interstate ideal for this purpose.

Start Planning Immediately: As soon as you decide to move interstate, start planning your move. Even if it could be a year away, the sooner you begin planning and arranging the action, the easier it will be.

Establish Your Budget: Moving interstate costs, you must establish your budget so that everything necessary can be paid for. The list includes removalists’ fees, new furniture, new appliances, your family’s travel arrangements, and settling local bills, which you must pay before leaving.

Moving Forward: A Guide to Finding the Right Removalist

Moving Forward: Finding the Right Removalist

There are a lot of different moving companies around, but finding which one is right for you isn’t as complicated as it seems. Picking the right one makes all the difference when it comes to a smooth move; the best removalist makes sure your possessions are packed, stored, and transported safely and securely, but how do you find the best one, here are some tips, on how they can help you pack and unpack, to the full costing, the size of the truck you’ll need, down to the expertise and customer service they deliver.

Researching the Removalists in your Area

Once you know when you’re moving, the next step is to start researching removalists in your area, first, start by reading some of the reviews on their website, look at and compare the prices, also ask your friends and family for recommendations this can be very helpful because you know they wouldn’t lie to you. It’s a great idea to contact several different removalists and get quotes from them on prices and what they have to offer because every one of them is different, some having additional services they offer, such as packing and storage, which will help you make a more informed decision about who to use.

Compare Prices and Services 

If you have narrowed down your list of potential removalists you may use, now you need to compare all the prices and services they offer, some of the more expensive companies have more experience and a better service record, while the cheaper ones may not have the same level of expertise. You can also ask about additional services like pre-packing boxes, storage, and insurance which could save you both time and money if it’s all included in the final price. But the best removalist for you will come down to the one that offers the services you need at the prices you can afford without comprising your things.

7 Tips From Removalists For A Stress-Free Office Relocation

It is safe to say that there are very few businesses that are involved in office relocations every day, unless, of course, that business is removalists who specialise in office relocations. The reason we make this point is to highlight the fact that, when a business owner decides on and then has to plan for an office relocation for their business, it is not something that they will have much experience of.

This brings us back to removalists who we recommend should be the first people a business owner contacts the moment they make the decision that they wish to relocate their business to new offices. The reason we say that is that removalists have all the knowledge and experience you could ever wish for when it comes to office relocations. As such they will be invaluable in helping yours go smoothly.

Notwithstanding, there are many things that business owners can do too to help ensure their office relocation is a success rather than a disaster. To further that aim, below we have highlighted seven tips from experienced removalists that can further aid the cause of you having a stress-free office relocation.

Office Relocation Tip #1 – Start Planning Early And Thoroughly

We have this tip first because it is probably the one that is most important and also most likely to help you have a stress-free and successful office relocation. Start planning the minute you decide you are relocating your office and make sure your plan covers every aspect of the move, even including arranging for refreshments for everyone helping on the day.

Office Relocation Tip #2 – Involve Your Employees In The Entire Process

There is nothing to be gained by you taking on the responsibility for every single aspect of your office relocation. You should first seek the buy-in of your employees by highlighting the benefits of the office relocation to them. Then, request that as many of them as possible help to make it a success by delegating specific tasks related to organising your office relocation.

How Your Employees Can Make The Difference With A Office Relocation

If you are thinking about relocating your business’s office, several people can help ensure it goes to plan. There is yourself, of course, especially if you plan it properly. There are third parties related to your business, such as utility companies, commercial lawyers and so on, plus the all-important office removalists who are essential for a stress-free move.

A group of people who are every bit as important are the ones you see every day, and they are your employees. If, as a business owner, you realise that your employees can play a positive role in your office relocation and act upon that realisation, your move to new premises should be a huge success before, during and after it takes place. Let us look at how you can make that happen.

Start With Openness And Honesty

Being open and honest with employees is something which you should be in all circumstances. However, it is even more important when it is an office relocation that is in the pipeline. You should discuss the relocation from the outset, stating why you think it should happen, and ideally, those reasons should be positive.

Outline what your plans are, and also do not be afraid to highlight some of the negatives that could occur, such as temporary disruption to the business, and your employees having to seek alternative ways to travel to the new office.

A 7-Point Checklist For An Emergency Relocation

There are a large number of reasons why someone would need to move house quickly, and therefore require to arrange what would be regarded as an emergency relocation.

That second action is the one that is going to ensure that even if you need to arrange a move quickly, including all the logistics such as ordering packing boxes, and the packing itself, you have professionals on hand who know what they are doing.

That being said, that does not mean that you do not have anything to contribute to your house move. You most certainly do, and to help you, here is a checklist that you can follow to make sure your emergency house move goes as smoothly as possible.

Elderly Parents Move Home

How To Help Your Elderly Parents Move Home

An essential part of any home move is organising the removalists who will take your belongings from one home to another; however, if instead of yourself moving home, it is your elderly parents who are moving, there may be a lot more to sort out in order to help make the move go successfully.

Perhaps the first point in the whole process will be your parents telling you that they want to, or they need to move. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as the house they live in now is too large for them, given that all their family has grown up and moved out.

Other reasons could be that they wish to move closer to their family, they may wish to downsize and thus have lower household bills, or it could simply be that they want a fresh start in a new home, and regardless of age, we are surely all entitled to a fresh start when we wish one. If your fresh start is from Melbourne to Sydney, check out www.brillianceremovalistssydney.com.au, where we can organise a easy transition.

Once you have established that they wish to move home, the next step will be to help them find their new home. We could write a dozen articles on house hunting, but here are some key points to remember, especially for seniors looking for a new home.

Move Office Electronics

What Is the Best Way to Move Office Electronics?

There are a lot of things to think about if you’re planning to relocate your office. Although most businesses will work with a professional removal company – and you should too – it’s still a good idea to make sure you understand at least a little about the moving process.

One of the most important things to work out is how you’re going to move your electronics. If you run a large business with multiple computers, printers and other electronic equipment, it can be a nightmare to figure out how to best move everything.

In the rest of this article, we’ve drawn on our professional knowledge to outline some of the most important things to know about moving office electronics.

Ensure Things Are Packed Properly

It’s extremely important to make sure that you pack your computers and other electronic equipment properly, otherwise, it could be damaged during the move.

  • Keep cables and wires separate and properly organised to prevent them from tangling and getting mixed up. Consider either packing different types of cables in separate boxes or packing cables with the relevant equipment.
  • Make sure you use plenty of padding around things like computers, printers and other devices. If possible, use the original boxes.

Once you’ve packed electronic equipment into a box and taped it up, give it a little shake. If things move, you will need to add more padding to prevent damage in transit.

Why Moving House is Stressful?

Moving house could be quite stressful especially when one is living in that particular house for a long time. This stress could be because of many reasons such as:

Losing a Job

A person who is moving to a different house might feel stressed because of losing a job, which means that he or she would not be able to bear the expenses of living in a luxurious house and thus, have to move somewhere else, which means a change in schools and so much more.

Relocation

Sometimes a transfer would be the main cause for moving from the house and hence, there would be a stress of relocation. It is quite tough to relocate and thus, it is important for a person to take appropriate measures to avoid stress even when the situation is stressful.

Moving to a new area

Fear of the unknown is quite stressful for some people and moving to a new area means that there would be a new neighbourhood, a new ambience, and everything would be like starting from scratch.

Cheap Removalist for Melbourne suburbs

Top Tips to Make Smooth Moving in the Wet Weather

Getting a removalist to do the right things when the weather is poor is not always easy. There can be some mess involved if the weather is wet. Thankfully, you can prevent this chaos by doing some things beforehand to make the move smoother.

Weather Proof Your Boxes

If you are moving in wet weather, you probably don’t want soggy boxes. That’s why if you want to move in this season, the best thing to do is use plastic boxes instead of cardboard ones. This may require asking friends to borrow their Rubbermaid boxes or any like boxes. You can use packing tape to secure the lids. This will ensure that your heavier items aren’t put down in a puddle and then start leaking out of the soggy box. If you do not have money for plastic boxes, you can always put a layer of packing tape or duct tape on the bottom of the boxes. This will also serve to be a protective barrier just in case the bottom of the box gets a little wet.

Things to Consider when Moving Antique Things

When you hire house or furniture movers, there are several factors to consider when it comes to antique pieces. We all know that they retain their value better when in mint condition. So you don’t want the moving process to make chips or rips to the antiques. The following are some things to consider when moving antique items:

Use Labels

Often, the boxing-up process is the most important. Brilliance Removalists recommend putting labels of “fragile” on all of your antique boxes. These labels can be purchased in stores and help to differentiate the boxes of things, such as towels, from those that need more care, like your antiques.

Get Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap is not just a fun sheet that people can pop when anxious. It really helps to protect the antiques from the wear and tear of being transported by a mover. Ensure you get a fleet of this stuff and start to protect your things. You can even wrap the legs of the furniture in bubble wrap if they are made out of wood. The more creative you are in looking for ways to prevent damage, the more seamlessly your move will go.

Tips to Save Yourself From Injury When Moving House

Moving house can be quite tiresome, and nobody would want to add an injury to worsen matters. Given below are some tips which can assist a person in avoiding injury when moving house:

-Try not to lift the boxes over the head, as there are chances of hurting the back. It would be wise not to pull a muscle when lifting the heavy boxes. Individuals would prefer to be in the best shape in their new house.

-Don’t panic, and try to move everything slowly and smoothly. There is no need to rush the process. Sometimes there are chances of getting an injury when an individual is in a hurry and is trying to do everything as fast as possible.

-Try to lift the boxes with leg muscles, as it would avoid strain on the back muscles.

-Always keep the first aid kit in sight. Even when a person is moving, the first aid kit should be there. Put it either in the car or at a nearby location where it is easy to access. Nobody knows what might happen; however, keeping the first aid kit nearby would provide a mental peace that there are creams, band-aids, and so much more to help in case of an urgent need.

Eco-Friendly House Moving

How to Make House Moving More Eco-Friendly in Melbourne

You don’t have to get stressed when moving house in Melbourne especially if your target is doing it in an environmentally friendly manner. There is so much you can put in place, purchase and or replace to ensure you move stress-free while still preserving the environment.

Change your cleaning products

Get eco-friendly cleaning products like detergent, scrub, and other substances from the grocers. Do away with the toxic cleaning detergents by replacing them with a few natural ones like bicarbonate of soda, lemon, and vinegar. They work equally well but are environmentally friendly.

Your lighting should be energy efficient

As you move into a new home, consider using energy-saving light bulbs like fluorescent tubes and diodes that emit light. In fact, if you can use other energy sources like solar, biogas and the likes, it will be great pocket wise and safer to the environment. In as much as installation and the initial purchase may be costly, the maintenance is worth it. Durability is something to be sure of.

Help Old People Move

How to Help Old People Move

Older loved ones need a peaceful and quiet place to stay. A place without any distractions. If you haven’t made this step, it is wise to do so. In the process, you can lend a hand by doing a few things for their comfort:

Communicate wisely-choose your words well

Older people develop a fondness for the places they stay. It might be difficult to convince them to move out. They might feel sad. It is wise to speak to them a few months before to give them time to think about it and accept the changes. The transition process for the elderly is supposed to be a smooth one. As you pack, categorize the items so that unpacking becomes easier. Help the seniors sort their possessions.

Prior planning

Sorting and packing might be the next step after the older loved one has decided on moving out. Draw a simple plan to show what the house looks like. It will bring a better understanding. Tell them the number of square feet the house is on. Brilliance Removalists Can Help You Out in this.

Move Out Of Your Share House Nicely

How To Move Out Of Your Share House Nicely

Vacating share houses can either be a peaceful or stressful affair, depending on your organization and planning. Despite having friends around and expecting things to be done rightfully as you wish, everyone has their way of life. Here are a few things to do to help you move out of your share house amicably:

Notify as early as possible

Before you ring the removalists, it is important to give notice that you will be moving out. At least a month or three weeks before will be a good time. If an agreement was placed earlier, the tenant should have indicated that a notice should be given before vacating.

Do the packing the right way

Your housemates need to get that feeling that you are serious about moving out. Pack all your stuff exclusively, from personal items to work files and study items. Do this in time so that those left behind can reorganize the house. It is wise to pack using a list because it will be less stressful.

What You Need To Take Care Of Before Your House Move

What You Need To Take Care Of Before Your House Move

Moving from a house can be hectic and frustrating. Mainly when you dwell in a big house and do it alone. However, this does not have to be the case. Several removalist companies have made moving easy, fast and convenient. The following are things to do to have a smooth transition from one house to another.

Know When You Want to Move
Having a specific date set aside makes planning more accessible and more definite. Choose a convenient day for you, the removalist and the caretaker of your new house, if any. Some removalist companies will not work on holidays and weekends, so checking before making any permanent moving plans is best.

Know What You Want to Move
Some people consider the moving experience the best time to declutter and refurnish their house. If this is the case for you, sort out what you want and do not want. Decide whether you will get rid of the stuff you do not wish to via disposing, donating, or selling them.

Sorting and Packing
Once you remain with the things you want, it is time to sort them out. Some removalist companies help pack up your things, but handling personally fragile and sensitive items is always advisable. For example, valuable items like jewellery should not be casually stored. For delicate items like glassware, use old newspapers or clothes to wrap them in. This way, the glassware would not be damaged even if it fell. Label all the carton boxes you use if you pack your belongings by yourself. Use carton boxes that are strong and durable to avoid damaging your items.

Perfectly Pack Your Boxes

How to Perfectly Pack Your Boxes While House Moving

It is advisable to test all your boxes if they are durable enough before packing them up. Otherwise, there might be damage if the boxes are in bad condition. A strong box has to hold and support whatever is placed in it. It should be rigid and have no tears, rips, or damage on the corners or punctures. Better safe than sorry. Here is how to pack your boxes properly when moving house:

Make reinforcements

Reinforce the corners and the bottom end of the boxes with tape. Make several lengths at the closing point. This is crucial, especially for those boxes that have been used before or are broken on the bottom end. While in transit, the content in the box will not fall through the bottom end.

Heavy items first

Make sure you begin packing the heavier load at the bottom of the boxes, and the lighter ones can be on top. This is to prevent the exertion of uneven pressure that might lead to boxes tearing while carrying them.

Take the Stress Out of Moving

12 Tips to Take the Stress Out of Moving

Moving can be really stressful, even if you have done it before. But for those who have never moved, or for whom it has been a long time, having to pack up everything and do all those other essentials before moving day can seem like a nightmare. However, the following tips can cut down the stress and help you move your goods in an efficient and organised way.

  • Pack your essential in an overnight bag to keep with you so you don’t have to search all those boxes when you arrive at your new home. It’s likely to be late and you’ll be tired.
  • If you own a laptop or tablet, keep that with you as well for safety.
  • Pack breakables in clothing to save on bubble wrap. It will also save you having to pack the clothing in other boxes. But don’t use clothing you will want to wear soon, in case there is a delay in unpacking. Out of season clothing is best. Clean socks are great for glasses.
  • While most things will be packed in cardboard boxes, use a clear bin for those things that you will need first. Being in a different-looking container will help it to stand out from all the others and it will be easier to find.
  • Label your boxes by room or by cupboard rather than writing the contents on the box. Unpacking by room also makes the task more manageable.

Friends vs Professional Removalists

Friends vs Professional Removalists

There is no doubt about it, moving costs money. That is why many people ask friends to help them move. They think it will help them to save on the cost of hiring professional removalists. However, this is not always a good idea; what you save can be lost in other ways. And you can run into many different problems.

  • For a start, friends are not getting paid to do this. That means they may not show up if they get a better offer or if they have other more urgent family businesses to attend to. And they may not bother to let you know they are not coming. So you will be stranded with a lot of furniture and no one to load it, even if you hire a truck.
  • You need to have a licence and experience to drive a hire truck. If your friends offer the use of their ute or one-tonner, remember it probably won’t have a roof. What if moving day dawns and it is rampant rain? Even a light shower can ruin furniture and bedding.
  • Do your friends have training in how to lift properly? If they put their back out and lose work due to injury from lifting your goods you will certainly feel bad about it. Depending on how good a friend they are, they may ask you to pay for their medical costs – or even sue you.

Get Your Bond Back When Moving

How to Get Your Bond Back When Moving

https://www.brillianceremovalistsmelbourne.com.au/home-movers/People have to move for many reasons and often move out of and into a rental home rather than their own. One of the main costs of a move is the bond. You cannot move into a new rental without paying a bond – and if your present rental is not left in spick and span condition, you won’t get back the bond you had to pay before moving in.

When it comes to the bond, it’s a good idea to look ahead. This will to some extent ensure that you will get the bond back when you leave. How? Not all rental homes are in a pristine condition before you move in.

They may have:-

  • Stains on the walls or carpets
  • Broken fittings
  • Lights that don’t work
  • Dripping taps or cistern
  • Scratches on the flooring
  • Cracked windows or torn flyscreens
  • Loose towel rails or curtain fittings
  • Ovens that don’t work
  • Cracks in the walls
  • Broken tiles or pathways

If you move in and take no notice of such things, when you move out you will get the blame for them and lose your bond. So what can you do?

Things to Do Before You Move

More Things to Do Before You Move

While there are hundreds of things to do before you move, packing takes up at least 50 of them. But before you can do any of the packing, you must go through all your stuff and decide what you don’t want to pack. These are things that are now of no use to you for one reason or another.

It could be simply clothes or toys the kids have grown out of or sporting equipment you no longer use. Or maybe you are moving to a hotter climate from a cold one and won’t need those warm jumpers or doonas any more.

How to get rid of surplus goods

While it is possible to have a garage sale, this takes time to arrange and you have to be there for a whole weekend to put stuff out, sell it and pack up what didn’t sell. It may be easier to sell unwanted goods on places like Gumtree or eBay, especially if you have an iPhone and can do it on the run. If you choose this route, start at least three weeks ahead of your moving date as things don’t always sell quickly.

Keep the prices reasonable. Some people have an overrated idea of the value of their things, which stems from the fact that they used to love them. Other people are not emotionally involved yet and won’t want to pay too much. They shop at such places to get a bargain.

How to Move Your Family

How to Move Your Family

While much information can be found on how to pack and move your stuff, not so much is written about moving your family. For little children, a move into a strange house can be scary, especially the first few nights. Children of any age are always affected by the moods of their parents, so if you are stressed out and irritable they will pick up on this and may become badly behaved as a result.

Here are some tips on how to move your family without going crazy:

  • Make sure you explain to children about the move. If they have to move schools and lose friends, they may be very unhappy. Give them a way of keeping in touch – phone calls, exchanging email addresses or street addresses, whatever is appropriate to their age.
  • When packing their toys and room, leave out their favourite one or two toys to take in the car and have with them when they arrive. Little children should keep their favourite soft toy.
  • Don’t get rid of their stuff without their permission – or at least, their knowledge.
  • Get them involved in the moving and packing process. Having jobs to do makes them feel important.
  • Get older children to research the new area and find out what they can do and where things are – the schools, public library, skate park, swimming pool, whatever they are interested in.

What To Pack First When Moving Office

What To Pack First When Moving Office

When moving, you do not wish to shut down operations altogether. You want services to be running as long as possible. The order in which you pack and how you pack determines how long you can keep operations running when you are on the move.

Below is the order in which you should pack when moving offices:

Remove the wall decor.
Wall decors are essential because they give life to the room, adding warmth and making it more appealing. They also tell a story about your company and what it represents. They include paintings, pictures, wall clocks, awards, and posters. You could request the office relocation staff to be extra careful, especially if the décor is expensive or you emotionally attach to some items.

Organize the files and books.
Although most files are stored in computers, manual files are used primarily for record-keeping. Organize all the files and books and pack them in a box. Do not forget to label the boxes to make unpacking easy and save time.

Pack the desk content.
The next thing is the desk content. These could be personal items like family or spouse pictures, flower vases, or your ‘stress’ candy, among other items. Packing your desk content can be an emotional process. It will probably remind you of when you first started working and all the memories. Take your time and put all this in a box. Don’t forget to state if the package is fragile.

Move your computer and other gadgets.

Ways Of Saving Money When Moving House

Ways Of Saving Money When Moving House

Aside from cheap removalists, there are other ways through which you can save money. These ways involve dealing with tasks before or after your moving day, utilities and negotiating for a better deal. Here are some of the ways you can save money:

Change your address
This depends on where you are moving from and where you are moving to. If you are moving to a different area or state, you must change your address on time to avoid inconveniences. If you move into a new geographical area, you will have to change your energy suppliers and register with the local authority so that you can pay council tax, among other things. If you fail to report any of these, you will have fines or spend a considerable lump sum for failing to pay tax. You can redirect your mail to avoid missing bills or essential letters. In addition, remember to register as a voter to improve your credit score.

Double-check your utility change dates.
You must align your utility bills with the date you plan to move. If your date of moving does not match ideally with your bill cycle, you will have to cut off the services rather than pay an extra month of bills you will not use. Living a few days without some utilities is advisable. You could have saved rather than spent much money on utility bills. Also, if the utility provider can continue offering similar services in your new home, you should consider giving a notification and arranging for the same. However, if you are uncomfortable with their services, it’s high time you get a new, reliable service provider. You may be surprised to get better deals from other utility providers. You must research and ask friends, family members and neighbours for recommendations.
