The earlier you start planning your move, the better. We recommend booking your removal service at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like summer or year-end. Early planning helps you:

1. Lock in preferred dates

2. Gather packing supplies

3. Arrange parking permits

4. Notify utilities and service providers

📦 Understand What Services You Really Need

1. Home relocations

2. Office moves

3. Furniture transport

4. Short- and long-term storage

Pro Tip: Ask about add-ons like wardrobe cartons, furniture protection, and fragile item handling.

💰 Compare Quotes Carefully

Don’t choose a mover based solely on price. Make sure your quote includes:

1. Packing materials

2. Travel time and mileage

3. Dismantling/reassembly of furniture

4. Waiting time charges (if any)

Ask questions and get a detailed breakdown before signing.

🛋️ Prepare Your Home & Inventory

Before moving day:

1. Declutter your space to reduce costs

2. Create an inventory list for packing and insurance

3.  Label boxes by room and content

4. Keep important documents and valuables separate

Use a “first-night” box with essentials like bedding, toiletries, and chargers.
