📅 4–6 Weeks Before Your Move: Plan and Prepare
This is the time to get organised and make key decisions.
✓ Declutter Your Home: Go through each room and decide what to keep, donate, or discard. Fewer items mean a faster, cheaper move.
✓ Get Quotes from Local Movers: Get quotes from local, reputable Auckland movers (like us!). Look for clear pricing, and make sure to arrange movers insurance with your contents insurer for extra peace of mind.
✓ Create a Moving Folder: Keep all moving-related documents, receipts, and contacts in one place — digital or printed.
📦 2–3 Weeks Before Your Move: Start Packing
Now it's time to start boxing things up. A bit of structure goes a long way.
✓ Gather Packing Supplies: Stock up on boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and markers. Auckland Movers also sells packing supplies — contact us to get what you need delivered or ready for pickup.
✓ Pack Non-Essentials: Begin with items you don't use daily — books, seasonal clothes, and décor.
✓ Label Everything: Write the room name and key items on each box. This will save you hours when unpacking.
⚡ 1 Week Before Your Move: Final Prep
You're in the home stretch. This week is all about confirming details and getting essentials ready.
✓ Confirm with Your Movers: Double-check your booking details — time, address, access, and any special items.
✓ Pack an Essentials Box: Include must-haves like toiletries, snacks, chargers, important documents, and a change of clothes.
✓ Notify Utilities: Arrange to disconnect and reconnect your power, water, and internet at your new address.
🚚 Moving Day: The Big Day
It's here! Time to let the professionals do the heavy lifting.
✓ Be Present: Be available to answer questions and guide the movers as needed.
✓ Final Walk-Through: Before you leave, check every cupboard, drawer, and closet to make sure nothing's left behind.
