Moving homes in Sydney doesn’t have to be stressful or expensive. With proper planning and the right removalist service, you can save significant time, protect your belongings, and reduce unnecessary costs.


Here are 7 practical tips to help make your move smooth and affordable.


1. Book Your Removalist in Advance

Most Sydney residents relocate at the end of leases or around holiday periods, so moving schedules fill up quickly. Booking early helps you:

  • Secure your preferred moving date

  • Avoid last-minute surge costs

  • Plan packing and cleaning ahead of time


2. Choose a Fully-Insured Removalist

Accidents are rare, but they can happen. A licensed and insured moving company saves you from costly damage and stress. At D-Express, we provide:

  • Public Liability Insurance

  • Goods-in-Transit Insurance

You’re protected from pickup to delivery.


3. Use Professional Packing Materials

Improper packing can lead to scratches, dents, or broken parts.We recommend:

  • Premium moving blankets

  • Shrink wrap

  • Trolleys

  • Secure straps

Our team always brings all of these — included at no extra cost.


4. Measure Your Furniture and Hallways

Many moving delays (and extra charges!) come from unexpected tight spaces.Before moving day:

  • Measure hallways, doorways, lifts

  • Ensure large furniture fits

  • Plan the safest loading route


5. Declutter Before You Move

Donating or selling unwanted items helps:

  • Reduce moving volume

  • Save time

  • Cut trucking/staff hours


6. Label Your Boxes Clearly

A little organisation makes a huge difference.Label boxes by:

  • Room (Kitchen, Bedroom 1, Living Room)

  • Priority (High/Medium/Low)

  • Fragile items

This helps the movers unload everything exactly where you want.


7. Communicate Special Requests in Advance

Every family is different.Let your movers know ahead of time about:

  • Heavy or delicate furniture (marble, piano, glass)

  • Assembly/disassembly needs

  • Stair access or elevators

The more we know, the smoother the move.
