Moving is difficult no matter what the problems are. The huge changes, uncertainties, and time and money commitments that come with moving can make it difficult to feel at ease about the process. When you combine the stress of moving with the apparently unending difficulties of relocating, you have the perfect combination for forgetfulness.
To assist you, we’ve compiled a list of the top ten things you’ll forget to do when moving. Use this checklist to make sure you do your most crucial activities before house removals in Brisbane.
Not preparing ahead of time
Moving necessitates planning. Otherwise, you can find yourself lost in a huge city without a map, attempting to assemble a new living room set without equipment, or wondering where the closest restaurant is on your first night at your new apartment. The secret to moving success is to plan ahead. To help your move go more easily, take the time to get organised and consider the following steps:
- Make a list of key chores to complete.
- Make a travel itinerary.
- Have a back-up strategy in case something goes wrong during the move.
- Make a list of tasks that are frequently forgotten.
- Make a flexible meal plan.
- You haven’t left your forwarding address.
A new location necessitates a new mailing address
Make sure your new address is known to all of the essential individuals and organisations in your life. To give organisations time to fix their contact lists and your friends and family time to say their goodbyes, try to finish this activity a few weeks before you leave. Before moving day, here’s a list of some of the most important persons and organisations that should obtain your new address:
- Family
- Friends
- Postal Service (Fill out an address forwarding form)
- Businesses that operate online
- Credit cards are accepted.
- Employer
- Bank
- Schools
- Utilities
- Doctors and veterinarians
- Subscriptions
- Schools
Not keeping track of critical medications
Finding new doctors and a drugstore in your new location may take some time. Filling and collecting all of your medicines ahead of time can ensure that you do not run out of critical drugs in the meantime. Don’t forget to get your dogs’ meds refilled as well.
Failure to return library books
Emptying your bookshelf is a standard aspect of moving preparation. However, it’s all too easy to toss library books into your cartons and forget that they need to be collected. Before you move, aside any library books you have and return them. You will save late fines and inconvenience once you get at your new house if you do so, and you will have a lot less to pack!
Not bringing “invisible” items
Many items fade into their surroundings or get so ingrained in your daily routine that you don’t even notice them. It’s easy to forget about these “invisible” possessions. While preparing for your move, keep an eye out for the following items:
- Behind the doors, there may be mirrors or decorative things.
- Plugging chargers and wires into the walls
- Decorations for the holidays
- Furniture for the outdoors
- Keys in reserve
- Jewelry and valuables
- Microwave ovens are examples of kitchen appliances.
- Plants in the garden
- Cash stashed away
You haven’t gone through every room in your house
These intangible possessions can sometimes be found in plain sight, such as a mirror behind one door or a clock on the wall. Other times, you may hide valuables in obscure areas of your home for protection. Because you only use seasonal products a few weeks out of the year, they can be stashed up in an attic nook out of the way. While packing, make sure to examine every part of your existing residence to confirm that you have included everything you possess. Forgotten things can be found in the following places:
- Basements\sAttics
- Sheds
- Stairwells
- Cabinets
- Shelves in the closet
- Collecting stuff that aren’t at home
Even if you effectively pack up all of your belongings, you may still leave some behind. For example, dry cleaning is frequently overlooked. By moving day, make sure you’ve collected any belongings that aren’t in your home. By the time you transfer, all dry cleaning, rented items, and other belongings that are being serviced or repaired must be gathered.
Not making arrangements for moving assistance
Although moving can be difficult, it does not have to be done alone.
Throughout the relocation process, reach out for assistance.
Friends and family members are frequently willing to assist. They can help you get more done, keep more organized, and feel much more confident in the process by aiding with packing, watching kids or pets, loading boxes, and unloading at the new place. Furthermore, a professional, full-service moving company can make your transition smooth and stress-free.
