Grace provides obligation-free quotes for household moving. We assess the size of your move, the packing requirements and the distance or time to travel and deliver to your new home. Local moves in Adelaide range from $2,000 to $5,000 for a standard 2 bedroom home. Interstate and international moves are more expensive, depending on the final destination.

Many full household moves take place over 2 consecutive days. The first day is dedicated to packing the boxes and the following day involves the actual moving. This means Wednesday can often be the quietest day for removal companies. Moves on the weekend are often popular but do attract a surcharge.

Moving day is often a busy time and generally starts early in the morning. The removal crew will have instructions from the office as to what is going and what is staying. They generally work room by room and start with the larger furniture items, followed by lighter items and moving boxes. The garage or shed is almost always the last zone to be loaded into the truck. 

It helps to have a plan for which rooms and orientation you expect furniture items to be placed at delivery. The removal crews tend to work quite quickly so furniture items keep coming into the new home at a rapid rate. Its important to be decisive around lounge and bedroom furniture placement as these rooms often have the largest items.

Moving home is major event for most people, so it does risk being a stressful event. Using a professional removals company like Grace Removals certainly helps alleviate some of the anxiety as we place a lot of emphasis on careful preparation and communication. Grace also provides service options for full packing, unpacking and transit risk coverage along with added assistance such as exit home cleaning, handyman installation or even plumbing and electrical works.

Its important to use up as much perishable food as possible prior to moving home. The refrigerator and freezer is required to be empty. Its also important to ensure all dishes and utensils are clean and dry prior to packing, so a take-away dinner or eating out is always a good idea on the night before a move.
