Advice on interstate removals - Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne

Whether you are moving from Brisbane to Adelaide, Melbourne to Brisbane or Sydney to Melbourne - the job of professional Interstate Relocators is to manage every aspect of your move and provide advice and guidance for the things you need to do. Companies offering interstate removals in Sydney and other major Australian cities will generally have a logistics team to make the move by air, road, rail or sea as simple as possible for you.

The professional team can help you prepare for the move, organise the best way to get your possessions to your new interstate location, pack from cupboard to cupboard and unpack at your destination, or store some of your goods if it is a temporary move and manage the whole moving process including all the things you didn’t know needed organising.   The Relocation Company will create a plan to suit your budget and requirements.
How to find the right interstate removals company

Things to check:

• How long it takes to get goods to the destination
• What insurance does the company have to cover your goods and their work
• That the company follow Occupational Health and Safety rules
• What insurance do you need to take out
• How will  your goods be packed and how do they get from pick up to destination and points along the way
• What preparations are expected of you
• Quotes and details with more than one company
• How are they going to transport your pets
• When your new accommodation will be ready for you to move in
• If you need temporary accommodation
• Do you need temporary furniture storage
• Start your checklist of things to do well before the move

BACKLOADING

If you do not have a full truck load of furniture and choose to organise a removalist yourself, backloading is an efficient and more economical way to move your goods.  You only pay for the space occupied by your goods.  The removalists will load the truck with your possessions and lock them into a section of the truck.  Other pickups collected along the route (eg. From Sydney to Adelaide) are also locked into their own section on the truck.  This method of interstate removals can take longer than the direct drive.     

Tips:

• If your move involves a big change to your children’s lifestyle make sure you talk to them beforehand about the changes.

• Include the children in making plans for the move.

• Help them learn about the new city where they will be living.

• Allow kids to have some input into how their new room will be arranged.

• Consider using a babysitter for young children on moving day

• Consider boarding your pets a couple of days before moving until the family has settled into your new home.

• Consider using a pet transport company from door to door for a safer less stressful trip for your pet and time efficient for yourself.

• Take time out with the family once the major unpacking is done.  You shouldn’t try to do it all at once.

• The first weeks at a new school can be daunting for your child.  Being there for them and keeping in contact with their teacher will ensure that you pick up on any behavior changes.

• Take time to have a last visit with family and friends in your old area

• Take note of contact addresses of your neighbours and friends

• Once in your new home, get involved in community groups to help settle in and get to know people.

• Visit the local area on weekend outings to familarise yourself in the new area
