How to Prepare for Removalists

Preparation is the cheapest way to protect your things and keep hourly time down. Crews move fastest when boxes are closed, paths are clear and access is planned — not when they are sorting loose items in a hallway.

Packing that actually helps

Closed, labelled boxes beat soft bags and open piles. Heavy items in small boxes; light bulky items in larger ones.

Empty drawers where practical. Leave clothes in wardrobes only when the wardrobe itself is moving and the partner has agreed that approach for your job.

Access and parking

Reserve the closest legal spot for the truck. Long carries from a distant bay add minutes on every trip.

For apartments: book the lift, confirm loading rules and tell us floor level and stairs if there is no lift.

  • Driveway cleared of cars and bins
  • Building lift pads / time window booked
  • Keys and codes ready for both properties
  • Pets secured away from the work path

What to tell us before move day

Surprises create delays. Declare early:

  • Oversized or fragile special items
  • Tight stair turns or no-lift walk-ups
  • Narrow driveways or height limits
  • Anything that needs disassembly

On the day

Be ready at the arrival window. Point out what stays behind. Keep an essentials kit with you so the crew is not hunting chargers and documents in sealed boxes.

Moviq bookings use clear hourly rates from $159.70/hr — readiness is how you influence the hours portion of the total.

Cost questions

Only when needed for access or agreed in advance. Large beds and wardrobes sometimes need it — ask when you book.
