Top Moving Tips & Tricks

Book Your Moving Company Early

We recommend booking your moving company a couple of months before your relocation. This will give you plenty of time to shop around for quotes, and ensure that your moving company of choice has availability.

Know Your Measurements

Regardless of whether you’re taking your old furniture or buying new items for your move, it’s important to be sure that everything fits where you want it to. It’s useful to have a tape measure on hand during viewings so you can get an idea of available space for those large items such as beds, sofas and wardrobes. It’ll save you from having your sofa placed at an awkward angle or stuck halfway up a walk-up.

Do The Admin

Make sure to inform the appropriate authorities and services of your change of address when moving. You will need to alert your bank, along with any utility services, government agencies etc. of your relocation. The Hong Kong government offers a simple change of address service for these purposes, which allows you to inform different government agencies all at once, saving you a lot of time. You can also find more information on this here.

DIY And Save

Moving companies offer a range of services to help with your relocation; from providing boxes, and dismantling and assembling furniture, to packing and helping with the actual move. If you don’t have a huge amount to shift, you can keep relocation costs down by packing everything yourself and only using a company to help with the actual move. Buy your own moving boxes from the post office (and from most removal companies), or try asking around at local supermarkets/shops as some may be able to pass these on for no cost.

Label, Label, Label

It sounds obvious, but it will make a huge difference when it comes to unpacking. Whether it’s yourself or a company that’s packing, make sure that everything is labelled correctly. You don’t want to get to your new flat and have to open a dozen boxes before being able to locate your toothbrush, or the kettle.

Pack An Overnight Bag

Pack a separate bag or suitcase with all your daily essentials, including clothes, bedding and toiletries. This way you can relax straight away after your big move instead of rooting through all your boxes – unpacking can wait until the morning!

Keep Important Documents With You

Even if you’re not doing the bulk of the moving yourself, there may be certain items you want to keep with you. If you have any particularly valuable, fragile or important items, we suggest you keep these separate and move them yourself (just to ensure accidents don’t happen!) On this note, keep all important documents safe when moving. Pack your ID cards, passports, medical documents etc. with you, so you know where they are. You’re not going to want the extra hassle of having to replace these!
