The Ultimate Moving Checklist: Your Guide to a Stress-Free Move

This comprehensive guide was created by the expert team at 777 World Furniture Removalists. Drawing from years of professional experience and feedback from our satisfied customers, we have built the only planner you will ever need.

Getting the Most Out of Your Planner

We want your transition to be as smooth as possible. This planner is based on an ideal six-week window. However, if you are on a tighter timeline, do not panic. Simply start from the top and work through the tasks as quickly as you can. Furthermore, make sure to mark off each item using the checkboxes as you finish them.

Phase 1: Early Preparation (6–5 Weeks Out)

📅 6 Weeks Before Moving Day

[ ] Book your furniture removalist. Visit www.777worldremovals.com.au or call us at 1300 090 977.
[ ] Verify insurance. Check your coverage for all contents during the transit period.
[ ] Set up new premises cover. Ensure insurance for the new home begins on your move-in date.
[ ] Establish a budget. Decide how to divide tasks among the household.
[ ] Gather packing supplies. You will need heavy-duty bags, markers, tape, and bubble wrap.
[ ] Secure your boxes. Note: 777 Furniture Removalists offers free boxes for local moves. Call 1300 090 977 to check availability.
[ ] Prepare the “Day One” Box. Use a clear tub for essentials like soap, towels, and chargers.
[ ] Start a Document Folder. Keep your pens, scissors, and this checklist here.
[ ] Measure up. Consequently, check if your furniture fits through the doors at the new house.
[ ] Document everything. Take photos of your belongings before they go into boxes.
[ ] Discuss specialty items. Identify pianos or antiques and talk to your removalist about handling.

📅 5 Weeks Before Moving Day

[ ] Execute your packing strategy. Start with the “Investigate, Group, Decide” method.
[ ] Clear the outer zones. Focus on patios, decks, and outdoor areas.
[ ] Pack secondary rooms. Move through all bedrooms and bathrooms.
Progress Update: Great work! If you have checked these off, you are officially on track.

Phase 2: Sorting and Decluttering (4–3 Weeks Out)

📅 4 Weeks Before Moving Day

[ ] Target the main zones. Focus your packing on the kitchen and living areas.
[ ] Plan a garage sale. Get the word out to the local neighborhood for the coming weekend.
[ ] Sell online. List high-value unwanted items on Gumtree or eBay.

📅 3 Weeks Before Moving Day

[ ] Finalise bulk packing. Clear out the remaining kitchen and living room cupboards.
[ ] Host your sale. Clear out the clutter and make some extra cash for the move.
[ ] Donate remaining items. Post anything that didn’t sell online for a quick “free to good home” pickup.

Phase 3: Logistics and Notifications (2 Weeks Out)

📅 2 Weeks Before Moving Day

[ ] Waste management. Arrange a hard waste collection with the council.
[ ] Appliance prep. Review instructions for moving your fridge, washing machine, or billiard tables.
[ ] Stage the garage. Clear the space and start moving packed boxes there.
[ ] Book help. Arrange childcare or a babysitter for moving day.
[ ] Update your address. Notify utilities (Gas/Elec), Banks, Insurance, and Australia Post.
[ ] Medical & Government. Update details with your GP, Medicare, the ATO, and the Electoral Commission.

Phase 4: The Final Countdown (1 Week – 1 Day Out)

📅 1 Week Before Moving Day

[ ] Re-confirm your booking. If you are with 777 Wollongong Removal, check in with your Team Leader.
[ ] Finalise key collection. Ensure you know exactly where to get the keys for the new place.
[ ] Support the family. Talk to your children about the plan to reduce their stress.

📅 2 Days Before Moving Day

[ ] Kitchen clear-out. Empty the pantry, fridge, and freezer completely.
[ ] Final boxes. Pack the very last items from the bathroom and bedroom.

📅 1 Day Before Moving Day

[ ] Suitcase packing. Pack a change of clothes, meds, and your important papers.
[ ] Final walkthrough. Ensure everything is ready for the removalists’ arrival tomorrow.

Phase 5: Moving Day Execution

🚚 MOVING DAY

[ ] Stay on-site. The 777 Wollongong Removal team will actually bring you a coffee so you can pack your kettle!
[ ] Fridge prep. Turn off and defrost the fridge 2 hours before the truck arrives.
[ ] Keep essentials close. Put your overnight bags and pillows in your own car.
