Common questions before moving day.
A few useful answers to help you prepare for your move.
When should I start preparing for a move?↓
Ideally, start preparing several weeks before moving day. This gives you time to organise belongings, arrange your removal service and deal with the practical details without rushing.
When should I start packing?↓
Start with items you do not use regularly and work towards everyday belongings as moving day gets closer.
What should I keep separate on moving day?↓
Keep important documents, keys, medication, chargers and other essential personal items somewhere easily accessible rather than packing them away with your general belongings.
Should I label my moving boxes?↓
Yes. Labelling boxes by room can make unloading and unpacking much easier when you arrive at your new property.
Can Loadshifters help with storage during a move?↓
Yes. Storage can be useful when your moving dates do not align or you need somewhere to keep belongings temporarily.
Can I get help with my move?↓
Yes. Loadshifters provides home, student, office, storage and specialist moving services across its service areas.
