Hints & Tips
Planning any
furniture removal or backload can be very time consuming and stressful ...
That's why GTS Furniture Removals moves you with a personal touch, taking
care of everything from start to finish.
Furniture to Empty -
Furniture such as
wardrobes, desk, wall units and dressers must be emptied, the structural
integrity of these items will be compromised if the furniture is moved with
loose weight inside.
Chests of drawers need to have breakables, loose, and heavy items removed.
Light clothing may remain. Never tape drawers shut.
Number of Items -
Where possible reduce
the number of items to be moved, bundle all small items together, such as
mops and broom, and place all smaller items into cartons. They not only
travel better in this state, but also reduce the time required to complete
your relocation.
Dismantling -
All items which can
be dismantled, should be dismantled. The likes of beds, swing sets, mirrors
off dressers, and items of furniture which were assembled after purchase,
such as flat pack desks etc. These are not designed to be moved when
assembled, and will most likely result in damage if they are not prepared
for moving. We can complete this on your behalf, however this will reflect
in the cost of your relocation.
When dismantling furniture, ensure that you keep all of your bolts, screws
and keys in an easily identifiable place, and remember where you placed
them. They are going to be required almost immediately when you arrive at
your destination.
Ensure the hoses on your washing machine are disconnected and removed, and
placed inside the machine, and all water is drained from them so as this
same water doesn't leak onto your other furniture and or cartons during
transit.
Use
Quality Boxes -
The type and quality
of cartons that you use to pack your belongings will reflect directly as to
how your goods will travel. The use of cartons sourced from your local
supermarket, or small open cartons which cannot be stacked for transit, take
a lot longer to load and unload than purpose built cartons.
Also remember the weight that one or two men can be reasonably expected to
lift/move, cartons which are 'oversized' will only dramatically slow the
moving process due to the awkwardness, and weight.
The use of purpose built removal cartons will speed the removal process and
ensure the safe transit of breakables packed inside.
Reduce Distance -
Ensure accesses are
cleared prior to the arrival of our removalists, and where possible to save
money have all items packed prior to day of uplift. Each trip to the truck
takes time, so the closer to the where the vehicle will park, that you can
ready your cartons and smaller items, the less time that the loading will
take, and hence the lower the cost of your removal. Please ensure that small
children and any pets are controlled at the time of uplift and/or delivery.
At times these distractions can present a risk to all involved, and the last
thing we would want to see is injury to your loved ones, your pets and/or
our removalists.
Fridges/Freezers -
Do not defrost your
fridges or freezers less than one week before moving. The water that gathers
in the 'drip trays' creates problems when it comes to moving those items of
furniture. Have ready for the day of moving sufficient esky's for your cold
perishables, and freezer contents, and we will loads these items onto the
truck last of all, and unload them first thing. This will ensure that you
food spends as little time as possible out of the fridge, and the
fridge/freezers will spend as little time as possible unplugged.
Neighbours -
Arrange with your
neighbours for sufficient parking space to be allowed at the front of your
property for the parking of the removal truck on the day of uplift. ensure
that there is no items belonging to your neighbours which may impede the
access for the removalists. Most neighbours are understanding and are happy
to assist in moving their cars, boats etc.
Unwanted Goods - Dispose of any unwanted goods prior to the day of uplift,
this will ensure that minimal time is spent completing your removal, as the
removalists will not be wasting time carrying boxes of rubbish. This will
also assist with the positioning of furniture and cartons in your new home
without the clutter of unnecessary items/cartons.
Important Items -
Ensure that all of
your important items, such as keys, remote controls, wallets, sunglasses,
and any other important items that you may require on your person are placed
in a safe place to ensure you know their whereabouts at the delivery
location. A good idea is to create 1 carton which is last loaded, and first
unloaded within which may be a good idea to keep the kettle, coffee/tea and
other items which may be required earlier than when other cartons are
unpacked. Items such as bags of screws, and nuts/bolts, from the dismantling
of furniture etc, can easily be located if they are all placed in this one
central location.
Furniture Placement - Have an advanced plan for the placement of furniture at your new address and ensure that you have a representative onsite at destination to direct the delivery of the furniture to ensure that it is placed correctly the first time. This will expedite the delivery process, and ensure a stress free completion to your removal, whilst also assisting in your unpacking.
Cleaning Items - Ensure that you have cleaned the BBQ, and items such as wheelbarrow, rubbish bins, wheelie bins, and garden furniture. This will ensure that your other furniture being loaded with these items does not become soiled as a result of contact with dirty items. It also ensures that dirt, mud and grease is not spread throughout the removal truck, to only be walked through your home as a result.
Brand New Premises -
When moving into a
premises which has only recently had building work completed, there is often
a chance that the site has dirt, mud and debris in the yard, which may
present a problem if near to the access to the property. Ensure that if dirt
is prevalent on site, you have access to, or know where to source, sheets of
plywood just in case of rain on the day of your removal. This will ensure
that mud will not be tread through your new home. Unfortunately, Workplace
Health & Safety prohibits the removal of shoes/boots from our removalists.
The likely hood of injury to feet is increases considerably with the absence
of footwear.
Plants -
Some States prohibit
the transportation of plants and fruits. If you have household plants and
can’t take them with you, you need to dispose of them. Give them to a friend
or relative before the day you are scheduled to move. If you can take plants
with you, do not water them just prior to removal day. You may need to
contact the DPI (Department of Primary Industries) to check on the area you
are moving from and if any special requirements are in force; such as those
for 'Red Fire Ants' in South East Queensland.
Washing Machine - To prepare your washing machine for removal, disconnect
from the water supply, drain hoses and check with the manufacturer (or your
removalist) for advice on traveling brackets etc.
