Three Hacks You Should Be Using for Your Interstate Move and Storage

If you are planning an interstate move, then you have likely already contacted your local interstate removalist and storage options. Though this is one of the key steps to your move going smoothly, there are a few things you can do to make the move even easier. Here are three hacks you should be using for your interstate move and storage plans.

Colour Code Storage Boxes

When most people pack for their move, or have removalists handle it for them, they usually tag the box with the room name or items in that box. This works, but there's an easier way to do this that will organise the boxes according to the room without having to fumble and flip to find the label. By simply choosing a colour coded tape for each room, and taping the box with that tape, you can easily identify what boxes go where and make the move easier on you and the interstate removalists. It's also ideal for storage to quickly identify boxes by room or the contents at a glance.

Essentials Boxes

There is always something that you forget on the first day of the move. You may find that you have no coffee or food, or you may need some emergency sleeping gear if the power is not on or the furniture isn't delivered to the new location on time. To avoid issues while you wait for utilities and movers, consider packing an essentials box to take with you. Pack instant coffee, sandwiches, snacks, and, if the box is big enough, some sleeping bags and blankets. This will mean you will have at least a few comfort items during those first hours, or the first day, of the move.

Plastic Wrap Toy Bins

If you have children, then you know that things like building blocks and puzzle pieces can be lost easily. Instead of worrying if the removalists and packers will find all the little pieces, consider using plastic wrap on the toy bins. Just put the toys in the bin, wrap the entire bin with wrap, and cut it away when you arrive at the new location. This ensures all your kids toys arrive safely and nothing is lost in the process.

These three hacks can ensure that your items are easy to spot, arrive in one piece, and that you have what you need on that first day. Make sure to look for bundled packing and storage items through your removalists that include plastic wrap and other packing items to make the move easier. You can also use their packing service for an even easier move.   For more tips, contact a local moving company like Aussiemove International Movers SA Pty Ltd.
