New Zealand Truck Hire Advice

Moving Day Tips

Moving home can often be a stressful time, even if you are experienced at moving. Getting organised can help make things run much more smoothly, so we hope these quick tips from our New Zealand truck hire experts will help you with the move on the big day.

  • It’s easier to clean your new home before you move in. If you don’t have time, consider hiring a cleaning company to do it for you.
  • If possible, try to move on a weekday. The roads should be less busy and you’ll be able to get hold of utility and service companies etc if there are any problems.
  • Moving is exhausting and often requires periods of waiting around, so keep everyone’s energy levels up by taking regular short breaks and providing plenty of refreshments. Keep a few energy drinks on hand to give you a boost.
  • Keep children occupied by moving a few items into their rooms first and have them unpack some of their boxes. Alternatively, give them jobs to do such as helping put boxes in the right rooms etc.

After the move

  • Call your friends and family to let them know you’ve moved safely.
  • Give electrical items a chance to settle and get to room temperature before you operate them.
  • Check for any damage as soon as you can as some insurance policies have a specific time period for making a claim.
  • It’s normal to feel a bit down for a few days after the move due to all the hard work and excitement, and children might feel a bit unsettled for a few days.
  • If you feel up to it, throw a housewarming party and invite your new neighbours as well as your friends and family.
  • If you’ve relocated to a new area, check out our advice on relocating in New Zealand.
