Why Hiring a Removalist Is the Best Decision You’ll Make This Year

(A brutally honest guide to moving yourself… and why you shouldn’t.)

So, you’re thinking of moving yourself? Great! Let’s walk through the emotional rollercoaster you’re about to ride.

Step 1: Recruit Your Mates

Easy! Just send a group chat: “Hey guys, can anyone help me move Saturday?” Watch as the read receipts appear… followed by absolute silence.

Step 2: Bribe Them

How many slabs does it take to convince grown adults to carry a fridge? Answer: Too many. And they’re probably going to drink them before the heavy lifting starts.

Step 3: Borrow Vehicles That Should’ve Been Retired in 2004

You’ll somehow end up with:

• One dodgy ute

• A trailer with a wobbly wheel

• And a mate insisting his hatchback can carry a couch “if we angle it right”

It can’t.

Step 4: Pack Everything You Own… and Then Some

You’ll find:

• A mystery drawer

• 17 unmatched lids

• Three remotes for TVs you don’t own anymore

• And a tangle of cords that must’ve come from NASA

  
  

Step 5: Wonder Where Your Mates Are

They said 8am.It’s now 9:47am.One’s “just grabbing a coffee,” one’s “hungover,” and the other “forgot.”

Step 6: The Fridge

This is where friendships end. Someone will yell, someone will slip, and someone will swear the fridge is “definitely lighter at the top.”(It’s not.)

Step 7: Furniture Tetris: Extreme Edition

Remember the couch that somehow magically got inside the house when you bought it?Yeah, it’s not coming out without:

• Anger

• Regret

• And at least one hole in a wall

  
  

Step 8: The Random Stranger Touching Your Stuff

There’s always that mate who starts going through boxes:“ Bro, do you still need this?” Yes, Bob. Yes I do. Put it down.

Step 9: Discovering How Heavy Everything Actually Is

Treadmill: weighs approximately 700kgGlass table: breaks if you even look at it wrong Mattress: floppy, unpredictable, and trying to suffocate you Plants: why do you own so many?

Step 10: The Endless Trips

You thought this would take two runs. You are wrong. You will now be living in your car for the next 6 hours.

Step 11: Relationship Stress Level: Expert Mode

At some point you will say: “Just angle it!” and your partner will say: “I am angling it!” And both of you will consider Googling “divorce lawyer Bundaberg.”

Step 12: The New House Reality Check

Steep driveway? Narrow doorway? Low ceiling? Surprise! The couch doesn’t fit, the fridge won’t go through the door, and you left the Allen keys at the old house.

Step 13: Unpacking… Eventually

“Where’s the kettle?” “Where’s the screws for the bed?” “Why is this box labelled ‘kitchen’ full of shoes?”
