Navigating the Many Challenges of Moving Interstate
Organising an interstate move can be significantly more complex than a local move. While moving locally requires smaller trucks, fewer personnel and fewer resources, even a relatively simple interstate move needs planning, high-quality packing and a great deal of coordination. New South Wales removal company T&U Removals offers our top tips for moving interstate to help you navigate the challenges that might crop up along the way.
Planning Phase
Planning is about more than just scheduling a service, it involves creating a checklist that categorises items, doing research to find the right removalist and setting timelines for packing, transport, unpacking and assembling.
Whether you’re moving a home or business, planning your move is essential. In fact, to reduce downtime and minimise disruption, larger companies should have a carefully planned business strategy for moving interstate.
Packing Phase
One of our most important tips for moving interstate is to pay close attention to the pre-packing and packing phase. The first step for effective packing is decluttering your current space and disposing of anything you don’t need.
Next, take the time to categorise items by room, so that they can be unpacked more easily. While it is possible to pack clothes and most belongings in standard boxes, items such as suits, dresses, books and some furniture may require boxes that are specially designed for specific items and provide extra protection.
Although there are cheaper alternatives, always buy quality packing boxes, tape and other materials so that your belongings can withstand the rigours of a long-distance journey.
Logistics Management
As seasoned removalists, we believe that navigating interstate moving logistics is a team effort. There’s more to moving between states than packing and loading belongings into a truck; we recommend hiring a professional moving company so that your transport is organised well in advance, you have experts taking care of paperwork, permits and compliance, and you have a team of professionals who know what it takes to keep your goods safe.
