moving tips
- Defrost the refrigerator at least 24 hours before uplift to allow
the refrigerator to dry out. Wipe the fridge with a dry cloth to
make sure there is no excess water then a wipe over with
vanilla essence for a fresh clean fridge free of unpleasant
odours.
- When relocating to your new residence give considerable
thought to the layout of your new home and make a special
note of the size deciding where you might place furniture etc
in your new residence. If you are downsizing, Coffs Harbour
Relocations & Storage can offer assistance in the way of
storage space until you decide what to do with the excess.
- Flammables - dispose of garden chemicals, paints, mower
fuel and pressure pack as we are unable to take these on the
truck for safety reasons.
- Disconnect telephone, gas and electricity. Cancel newspaper
subscriptions milk and bread deliveries.
- Arrange connections at your new house for telephone and
electricity etc.
- Notify your change of address to places like RTA for your
licenses, registrations etc health insurance fund, Medicare,
doctor, dentist, insurance company, bank accounts etc.
- Get the post office to redirect your mail

packing tips
- Anything that is important such as documents, cheque
books, passports, jewellery and the like keep with you for
safekeeping and there will be no looking for that important
document or cheque book after the relocation is complete.
- Items you might need immediately in your new home like
your jug, toaster, TV remotes etc pack into a box and mark it
as "Survival Kit" put it to one side and you will be ready in no
time to make your first cuppa in your new home.
- Pack each room one room at a time. Put similar items in each
box so you won't be wondering where your bedside lamps or
your favourite pillow are when you just want to fall into bed
after a big day.
- Wrap each item individually and place a layer of cushioning at
the bottom of the box. Make sure you pack each box so it is
full. A carton that is not quite full will probably collapse when
other cartons are placed on top, so if the carton still has a
little room left put a towel or cushion in to bulk out the carton
to fill it level to the top but do not over fill as it may bust open.
- Place heavier items at the bottom of the box.
- Along the tape mark each box carefully with your name, the
contents and the room it is to go into to so you will know
exactly where to find things.
- Pack heavy items such as your dinner set into small boxes,
especially books. Remember if you can't lift a box, chances
are the removalist can't either.
