2

Photograph river-view properties and high-value items before packing — useful for insurance and placement.

Book a 3-man team for 4+ bedroom Melville homes — it saves real money at the hourly rate.

4

Advise us of driveway grade at the quoting stage for Applecross and Attadale properties.

5

Disassemble large furniture the night before — large family homes benefit most from pre-disassembled pieces.

Pack the garage separately from house contents — Melville garages are often large and add meaningful time.

7

Use Hire A Packer for premium and fragile items, particularly for river-view homes with antiques or artwork.

Confirm settlement day access timing before the truck departs — WA settlements can run late.

9

Arrange for children and pets off-site on move day — large homes move faster without interruptions.
