Not Planning Ahead
- Don’t leave everything to the last minute! Start planning your interstate move well in advance.
- Research reputable backloading removalists like ourselves (our main company, Robina Removals has 4.7 out of 5 stars in Google reviews).
- Book your slot early to secure the best deals. We offer early bird rates for those booking months in advance.
- Create a detailed moving checklist to keep track of all your tasks and deadlines.
Neglecting to Declutter
- Moving house is the perfect time to say bye to unwanted clutter.
- Sort through your belongings and donate, sell, or bin items you no longer need. The less you have to move, the easier and cheaper it’ll be!
Failing to Pack Strategically
- Don’t throw everything into boxes willy-nilly. Pack cleverly, keeping similar items together.
- Label your boxes with the contents and the room they belong to for easy unpacking.
- Pack an “essentials” box with must-have items like toiletries, documents, etc.
Underestimating the Importance of Insurance
- Protect your valuables and treasured possessions. Don’t skimp on insurance!
- If needed, consider additional insurance for high-value items or sentimental belongings.
- At Backloading4U, we can arrange insurance for you.
Not Researching the Backloading Process
- Backloading is a top-notch way to save some dollars on your interstate move.
- Understand how backloading works: sharing space in a truck with other removals headed in the same direction.
- Get in touch with Backloading4u to score a great deal on your Brisbane to Melbourne backloading (or Melbourne to Brisbane, Melbourne to Gold Coast, Sydney to Gold Coast, we have it all).
Ignoring Essential Services
- Inform your utility providers about your move to ensure a smooth transition.
- Organise disconnections at your current address and reconnections at your new place. You wouldn’t want to move into a house without any electricity or water!
- Don’t forget to update your address with important institutions like banks and government agencies.
Overlooking the Importance of Packing Supplies
- Get your mitts on quality packing materials to keep your belongings safe.
- Stock up on sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and plenty of newspapers for padding.
- If you are moving from the Gold Coast, we can supply you with quality boxes and other packing materials.
Forgetting to Take Care of Yourself
- Moving is hard. Don’t forget to look after yourself in the process.
- Stay hydrated, take regular breaks, and don’t forget to have enough food.
