Interstate Removals from Regional South Australia to Victoria: Move with Confidence

Moving with The Confidence

Interstate Removals from Regional South Australia to Victoria: Move with Confidence

Moving interstate can be a major undertaking, particularly when you're relocating from a regional town in South Australia. There is a lot to organise, from preparing your household furniture and appliances for pickup and coordinating transport to managing settlement dates and ensuring your belongings are ready for collection.

At Borgas Removals & Storage, we help make interstate household moves simpler and less stressful by providing reliable pickup and transport of household furniture and appliances. With extensive experience servicing Adelaide and regional South Australia, we can transport your belongings to Melbourne and rural Victoria.

Whether you're moving permanently, relocating temporarily or waiting for settlement, our interstate pickup, transport and storage services can give you greater flexibility while you organise your move.

Interstate Removalists for Household Moves

Every interstate move is different. You may be moving your entire household, transporting selected furniture and appliances, or relocating while you're between properties.

Borgas Removals & Storage specialises in the pickup and transport of household furniture and appliances. We do not transport business equipment or provide commercial equipment relocation services. Our focus is on helping individuals and families move their household belongings safely and efficiently.

We service customers throughout Adelaide and regional South Australia, providing interstate transport to Melbourne and rural Victoria. Our regional service areas include:

Adelaide
The Riverland
The Iron Triangle
The Eyre Peninsula
Other regional South Australian communities

If you're planning to move from regional South Australia to Victoria, our team can discuss your pickup and transport requirements and help you arrange the interstate transportation of your household furniture and appliances.

Interstate Moving with Storage Options

One of the biggest challenges when moving interstate is timing.

Your new property may not be ready when you need to leave your current home. Settlement dates can change, rental arrangements may not line up perfectly, or you may simply need somewhere secure to keep your belongings while you work out your next move.

Borgas Removals & Storage offers storage from our Adelaide depot, providing a practical option when your move-out and move-in dates don't coincide. For example, you may need to:

Move out before your new home is ready.
Wait for a property settlement.
Move into temporary accommodation.
Relocate interstate before securing a permanent home.
Store some household belongings while you decide what to take with you.
Arrange transport at a later date.

Having storage organised in advance can make an interstate move considerably easier. Instead of rushing to coordinate everything around a single date, you have greater flexibility if circumstances change.

Plan Your Interstate Move Early

Good planning is one of the best ways to reduce stress when moving interstate.

If you're buying or selling property, try to allow some flexibility between moving out of your existing home and moving into your new property. While settlement dates are planned in advance, unexpected delays can sometimes occur.

Having a removal and storage plan in place before moving day means you're better prepared if your circumstances change.

Before your pickup is scheduled, it's worth considering which household furniture and appliances you want to take with you. An interstate move can be a good opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what you want to keep, sell, donate or dispose of before the move.

Having your household items ready for pickup can help make the removal process more efficient.

Moving Household Furniture and Appliances Interstate

When you're moving interstate, your household furniture and appliances need to be handled carefully throughout the process.

Items such as refrigerators, washing machines, dining tables, beds, lounges and other large household belongings require appropriate handling during pickup and transport.

Before the scheduled pickup, customers should ensure their appliances and household furniture are ready for collection and that pathways around the property are clear. This can help make the pickup process safer and more efficient.

If you have particularly large, heavy or fragile household items, let the Borgas team know when discussing your move so that the appropriate arrangements can be made.

Moving from Regional South Australia to Victoria

Regional moves can involve additional planning compared with metropolitan relocations. Distances are greater, transport schedules may be more limited and coordinating the timing of your move can require additional consideration.

Borgas Removals & Storage has experience servicing regional South Australian communities and transporting household belongings interstate.

Whether you're relocating from the Riverland, Iron Triangle, Eyre Peninsula or Adelaide to Melbourne or rural Victoria, we can discuss your pickup and transport requirements.

Our aim is to provide a straightforward service so you can spend less time worrying about logistics and more time preparing for your new home.

Interstate Removals with Borgas Removals & Storage

An interstate move doesn't have to be unnecessarily complicated.

By planning your pickup, transport and storage requirements in advance, you can reduce the pressure that often comes with relocating between states.

Borgas Removals & Storage provides interstate transport for household furniture and appliances, with storage available at our Adelaide depot when you need additional flexibility.

If you're planning to move from Adelaide or regional South Australia to Melbourne or rural Victoria, contact Borgas Removals & Storage to discuss your requirements.

Our friendly team can provide practical advice about planning your move and help you arrange the pickup, transportation and storage of your household furniture and appliances. Please note that Borgas Removals & Storage does not provide packing services, so your items need to be ready for pickup at the scheduled time.

Save Money on Furniture Transport with Borgas Backloading Services

Saving Money on Your Move Day

Save Money on Furniture Transport with Borgas Backloading Services

If you need to transport household furniture or appliances and are looking for a more affordable alternative to a dedicated removal service, backloading can be a great option.

Borgas Removals & Storage offers backloading services for household furniture and appliances , helping customers make use of available space on our trucks when they are already travelling between destinations. By utilising spare truck capacity, backloading can provide a more economical way to have your furniture or appliances transported.

Our backloading service is designed specifically for household items. Please note that Borgas Removals & Storage does not transport business equipment, commercial equipment or office equipment through this service.

What Is Backloading?

Backloading is the process of using available space on a truck that is returning from another removal job. Rather than travelling back with unused capacity, we can use that space to transport household furniture and appliances for another customer.

Because the truck is already travelling the route, backloading can be a cost-effective alternative to arranging a dedicated truck.

The main consideration is flexibility. Backloading availability depends on our existing removal schedules and available truck space, so your preferred pickup date may need to fit around our planned travel schedule.

Affordable Furniture and Appliance Transport

One of the biggest advantages of backloading is the potential to reduce your transport costs.

Rather than paying for an entire dedicated truck, you can take advantage of available space on a truck that is already travelling in your direction. This makes backloading particularly useful when you only need to move selected household furniture or appliances rather than arranging a complete house removal.

Whether you have furniture that needs to be transported between regional South Australian towns or household appliances that need to come back to Adelaide, our team can check upcoming routes and available capacity.

Household Furniture and Appliances Only

Borgas Removals & Storage specialises in the transportation of household furniture and appliances.

Our backloading service can be suitable for items such as:

Beds and bedroom furniture
Sofas and lounge furniture
Dining tables and chairs
Cabinets and shelving
Household appliances
Refrigerators and freezers
Washing machines and dryers
Other household furniture and belongings

We do not transport business equipment, commercial equipment or office equipment as part of our backloading service.

If you're unsure whether your items are suitable, contact Borgas and provide details of what you need transported so we can advise whether we can accommodate them.

Pickup Service

Borgas' backloading service is a pickup service. This means we collect your household furniture and appliances from the agreed pickup location when our scheduled truck is travelling through the area.

As backloading works around existing truck movements, customers need to be flexible with pickup dates and times. Our team can discuss the available schedule with you when you enquire.

This flexibility is one of the reasons backloading can be a more economical option than booking a dedicated removal service.

Backloading Across South Australia

Borgas Removals & Storage provides regular backloading services from regional South Australian areas, including the Riverland, Iron Triangle and Eyre Peninsula.

Our regular routes may provide opportunities to transport household furniture and appliances back towards Adelaide when space is available.

If you have furniture or appliances that need to be picked up from a regional South Australian location, contact Borgas to find out when our next suitable truck is scheduled to travel through your area.

Interstate Backloading

Backloading can also be an economical option for household furniture and appliances travelling interstate.

Borgas Removals & Storage can accommodate interstate transport depending on available routes and truck capacity. Our services include travel to destinations in Victoria, including Melbourne, Geelong, Bendigo and surrounding areas, with other interstate destinations potentially available by arrangement.

If you need household furniture or appliances picked up for interstate transport, contact our team to discuss your location, the items you need transported and the available schedule.

What If the Pickup Date Doesn't Suit?

The main advantage of backloading — its flexibility — can also mean that a particular pickup date isn't always available.

If our next scheduled truck doesn't align with when you need your furniture or appliances picked up, Borgas Removals & Storage also offers storage options. Your belongings can be stored securely until a suitable transport opportunity becomes available.

This can provide a practical solution if you're between properties, waiting for a suitable transport date or simply want to take advantage of a more affordable backloading option.

Is Backloading Right for You?

Backloading may be suitable if you:

Need household furniture or appliances transported.
Are flexible with your pickup date.
Want to reduce transport costs.
Don't require an entire dedicated removal truck.
Need furniture picked up from regional South Australia.
Are looking for an interstate furniture transport option.
Have household items that can travel when suitable truck space becomes available.

If you require a specific date or need a complete house move, a dedicated removal service may be more appropriate. Our team can discuss your requirements and help determine the most suitable option.

Please note: Borgas Removals & Storage does not provide packing services. We do not pack, unpack or prepare household items for transport. Furniture and appliances must be ready for pickup at the agreed collection location.

Enquire About Borgas Backloading

Backloading provides an economical way to transport household furniture and appliances by making use of available space on trucks already travelling your route.

With regular services from areas including the Riverland, Iron Triangle and Eyre Peninsula , as well as interstate routes, Borgas Removals & Storage can help you find an available pickup opportunity that suits your needs.

Need household furniture or appliances picked up?

Contact Borgas Removals & Storage today on 0417 804 137 to enquire about our upcoming backloading schedule, available truck space and storage options. Our team can discuss your pickup location, the items you need transported and the next suitable opportunity.

Helpful Packing Tips for a Stress-Free Move

Guide to Packing for a Stress-Free Move

Helpful Packing Tips for a Stress-Free Move

Packing is often one of the most time-consuming and stressful parts of moving house. Whether you're moving across Adelaide, relocating to another part of South Australia, moving interstate, or placing your household belongings into storage, being organised can make a big difference.

Packing an entire home can feel overwhelming, particularly when moving day is approaching. We've seen plenty of last-minute situations where customers realise they have more belongings than expected and not enough time to get everything ready. That's why being prepared before your scheduled pickup can help make the moving process much smoother.

The good news is that you don't have to do everything at once. With some preparation, quality packing materials and a room-by-room approach, you can make the process much more manageable.

Here are our helpful packing tips for a smoother move.

Start Packing Early

As soon as you know you're moving, start packing.

You don't need to pack your entire home in one go. Set aside a little time each day and begin with things you don't use regularly, such as seasonal clothing, decorations, books, spare linen and stored belongings.

Leaving everyday essentials until closer to moving day means you can continue using your home normally while steadily reducing the amount of work still to be done.

Declutter Before You Pack

Moving house is an ideal opportunity to have a good clear-out. There's little point spending time, money and effort packing and transporting belongings you no longer want or need. Before putting something into a box, ask yourself whether you really want to take it to your new home.

Create separate piles for:

Items you are keeping
Items you want to sell
Items you can donate
Items that need to be recycled or disposed of

Quality unwanted household goods can often be donated to local charities, while furniture, appliances and other useful items can potentially be sold online.

Gather Quality Packing Supplies

Having the right packing materials makes the job easier and helps protect your belongings during transport.

Before you start, make sure you have plenty of:

Quality moving boxes in different sizes
Strong packing tape
Bubble wrap or packing paper
Permanent markers
Protective wrapping materials
Labels for fragile items

Choose quality packing materials that are suitable for the items you're transporting. Proper boxes, protective materials and strong packing tape can help reduce the risk of damage during transportation.

Protect Fragile Household Items

Glassware, crockery, mirrors, artwork, ornaments and other fragile household belongings need extra care when packing.

Wrap fragile items individually using suitable protective materials and make sure there is no excess space inside the box. Empty spaces allow items to move around during transportation, increasing the risk of damage.

Don't make boxes unnecessarily heavy. Books, for example, are best packed into smaller boxes so they can be safely lifted and carried.

If you're unsure how to pack particularly delicate or valuable household items, take extra time to research the best way to protect them before your scheduled pickup. Proper packing and protection is the customer's responsibility, so make sure fragile belongings are securely packed and ready to be collected.

Pack Room by Room

A room-by-room approach makes packing much easier to manage. Rather than packing random items into whichever box is closest, keep belongings from the same room together wherever possible.

Clearly label each box with the room it belongs in and a brief description of what's inside.

For example:

KITCHEN – GLASSWARE – FRAGILE
This makes unpacking considerably easier and helps you stay organised when your belongings arrive at your new home.
Sell or Donate Unwanted Household Items
Your unwanted belongings could be useful to someone else.
Furniture, appliances, homewares, toys, books and other household items can potentially be sold through platforms such as Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.
Alternatively, consider donating good-quality unwanted items to a local charity.
Decluttering before your move means fewer boxes to pack, fewer items to transport and less work when you arrive at your new home.

Pack an Essentials Bag

Don't pack everything you own onto the removal truck. Prepare an overnight bag or essentials box containing the things you'll need immediately after arriving at your new home.

Consider including:

Toiletries
Toilet paper
A change of clothes
Medication
Phone and tablet chargers
Important documents
Snacks and drinks
Basic kitchen items
Kettle, tea or coffee

Keep these essentials somewhere easily accessible so you aren't searching through boxes at the end of a long moving day.

Dispose of Items That Cannot Be Transported

Some household products and dangerous goods cannot be transported by removalists.

Before moving day, check what needs to be safely disposed of rather than packed with your household belongings. This may include items such as fuel, some chemicals, fertilisers, pool chemicals, paints and other hazardous materials.

It's also a good time to use up excess food and prepare your freezer for the move. If your freezer needs to be transported, remember to defrost it properly beforehand.

Leave the Pickup to the Removalists

Large household furniture and appliances can be difficult and dangerous to move without the right equipment and experience.

Items such as refrigerators, washing machines, sofas, beds, wardrobes and other heavy household furniture should be properly prepared and ready for pickup to help minimise the risk of damage or injury.

Borgas Removals provides a reliable pickup and removal service for household furniture and appliances. Have your belongings packed, prepared and ready to go, and our removalist team can take care of the pickup and transportation.

Ready for Your Pickup?

Getting everything packed and ready before your scheduled pickup can make moving day much easier. Take the time to declutter, use quality packing materials, protect fragile belongings and clearly label your boxes before the removalists arrive.

Borgas Removals provides pickup and transportation services for household furniture, appliances and other domestic belongings. Whether you're moving locally, relocating interstate or moving your household items into storage, we'll collect your prepared belongings and transport them to their destination.

Start early, declutter as you go, use quality packing materials and make sure everything is ready for pickup. Then you can leave the pickup and transportation of your household furniture and appliances to Borgas Removals.

The Importance of Quality Packing Materials for a Safe and Stress-Free Move

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 08:25:29 GMT

Must Know Importance of Quality Packing Materials

The Importance of Quality Packing Materials for a Safe and Stress-Free Move

When you're preparing for a house move, protecting your belongings should be one of your highest priorities. Whether you're relocating across town or moving to another region, the quality of your packing materials can make all the difference between unpacking your possessions safely and discovering costly damage.

At Borgas Removals, we've been helping families move throughout South Australia for more than 30 years, including the Riverland, Eyre Peninsula, and surrounding regional communities. Over the decades, we've seen firsthand how properly packed household furniture and appliances, combined with careful professional handling, can help reduce the risk of damage during transport.

If you're planning an upcoming move, here's why investing in quality packing materials is well worth it.

Why Quality Packing Materials Matter

Many items are damaged during a move because they haven't been packed correctly or have been placed in low-quality boxes. While careful handling is essential, even the most experienced removalists rely on strong packing materials to keep belongings secure throughout the journey.

High-quality packing materials help to:

Protect fragile and valuable belongings from impacts.
Prevent items from shifting inside boxes.
Reduce the risk of boxes collapsing under weight.
Keep dust, dirt, and moisture away from your possessions.
Make loading and unloading safer and more efficient.

Using professional-grade materials is a simple investment that can save hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars in damaged belongings.

Choosing the Right Protective Packing Materials

Padding is your first layer of protection. The goal is to cushion your belongings and prevent movement while they're being transported. While newspaper has traditionally been used for wrapping household items, it isn't always the best option. Newspaper can transfer ink, scratch delicate finishes, and doesn't provide the same level of cushioning as modern packing products.

Instead, consider using:

Bubble wrap for glassware, electronics, and delicate ornaments.
Packing paper for crockery and decorative items.
Foam wrap for polished furniture and easily scratched surfaces.
Air packing pillows to fill empty spaces inside cartons.
Furniture blankets to protect larger household items during loading and transport.

Using the right material for each item helps minimise movement and reduces the likelihood of accidental damage.

Strong Moving Boxes Make a Big Difference

One of the most common DIY moving mistakes is using old or damaged cardboard boxes.

Boxes that have been stored in garages, sheds, or damp environments often lose their strength over time. Reusing worn cartons increases the chance of the bottom giving way while being carried or stacked in the moving truck.

Professional moving boxes are specifically designed to support heavier loads and stack securely during transport. They're available in different sizes to suit books, kitchenware, clothing, electronics, and fragile items.

Choosing new, sturdy boxes can provide better protection for your belongings during transport. If you're preparing your household items for a Borgas Removals collection, make sure boxes are securely sealed, appropriately sized, and strong enough to withstand handling and transport.

Packing Fragile Items Properly

Fragile belongings require extra care and should be properly packed and secured before collection.

Wine Glasses and Glassware

Wine glasses, crystal, and delicate drinkware are particularly vulnerable during a move because of their thin stems and fine glass.

Wrap each glass individually using packing paper or tissue paper before adding bubble wrap. Pack glasses upright wherever possible and use divider cartons designed specifically for glassware. Fill any empty spaces with cushioning material to prevent movement inside the box.

Mirrors and Artwork

Large mirrors, framed artwork, and picture frames require additional protection because even minor impacts can cause cracks or shattered glass.

Protect the corners with corner guards, apply packing tape in a cross pattern across the glass for added stability, wrap the item in moving blankets or bubble wrap, and place it inside a purpose-built mirror carton whenever possible.

Experienced removalists can then carefully load and secure these items for transport, helping to minimise movement while they're in transit.

Don't Overlook Your Packing Tape

Packing tape may seem like a small detail, but it plays an important role in protecting your belongings.

Low-quality tape can lose its adhesion, particularly during hot weather or long-distance moves. Boxes that open unexpectedly can lead to damaged or lost items.

Choose heavy-duty packing tape designed specifically for moving and storage. Reinforce the bottom of every box before packing it and seal the top securely once filled.

Let the Professionals Handle the Move

Packing an entire home can be time-consuming and physically demanding. Once your household furniture, appliances, boxes, and other belongings have been properly prepared, choosing an experienced removalist to handle the pickup and transport can provide additional peace of mind.

At Borgas Removals, we specialise in picking up and transporting household furniture and appliances. We don't provide packing services, so your belongings should be packed and ready for collection before our team arrives.

Our experienced removalists take care when loading, securing, transporting, and unloading your belongings. Whether you're moving locally within South Australia, travelling between regional areas, or relocating interstate, we can help get your household furniture and appliances safely to their destination.

Contact Borgas Removals

A successful move starts with properly prepared belongings. By choosing strong boxes, quality packing materials, and an experienced removalist, you can significantly reduce the risk of damage and enjoy greater confidence throughout your move.

What Makes a Great Removalist Company?

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 07:16:30 GMT

Everything You Need to Know about What Makes a Removalist Company Great

What Makes a Great Removalist Company?

Choosing the right removalist can make all the difference between a stressful moving day and a smooth, well-organised experience. Whether you're moving across Adelaide, relocating to another regional town, or moving interstate, selecting a professional and reliable removal company is one of the most important decisions you'll make.

At Borgas Removals and Storage, we understand that every household move is unique. We specialise in the transport and relocation of household furniture and appliances . Customers are responsible for packing and preparing their belongings for collection, while our experienced team focuses on safely picking up, transporting and delivering your furniture and appliances. With decades of experience servicing Adelaide and regional South Australia, including the Riverland, the Iron Triangle and the Eyre Peninsula, we've helped thousands of families relocate safely and efficiently.

We specialise in moving household furniture and appliances and do not transport business equipment or commercial office fit-outs.

Here are the key qualities to look for when choosing a removalist.

A Strong Reputation and Positive Customer Reviews

One of the best indicators of a quality removalist is what previous customers have to say. Online reviews, testimonials and recommendations from friends, family or local businesses can provide valuable insight into a company's professionalism, reliability and customer service.
Look for consistent feedback about punctuality, care taken with furniture, communication and how any issues were resolved. Even the best companies occasionally face challenges, but what matters is how quickly and professionally they respond.
At Borgas Removals and Storage, we're proud to have built long-term relationships with many repeat customers throughout Adelaide, the Riverland, the Eyre Peninsula and surrounding regions. Much of our business comes from referrals, reflecting our commitment to providing exceptional service on every move.

Experience You Can Trust

Experience matters when it comes to transporting valuable household belongings. An established removalist understands how to safely pick up, handle, load, transport and deliver everything from delicate antiques and family heirlooms to large lounges, dining settings, whitegoods and bedroom furniture. Borgas Removals and Storage does not provide packing services, so customers should have their belongings appropriately packed and ready for collection before our team arrives.
Borgas Removals and Storage has been providing professional household removal services across South Australia for more than 30 years. Our experienced team handles local, regional and interstate household moves, ensuring your furniture and appliances arrive safely at their destination.
We also provide secure furniture storage solutions for customers who need flexibility before, during or after their move.
Our long-serving staff are another reason customers choose Borgas. Several of our drivers and removalists have been with us for more than 10 years, bringing valuable knowledge, care and consistency to every relocation.

Transparent Quotes with No Hidden Costs

A trustworthy removal company should provide clear, detailed quotes that explain exactly what is included in the price.
Unfortunately, some companies advertise low prices only to add unexpected fees later for services such as additional labour, difficult access, stairs or extended travel times.
At Borgas Removals and Storage, we believe in honest, upfront pricing. We take the time to understand your moving requirements so we can provide an accurate quote with no unpleasant surprises.

To help us prepare the most accurate estimate, it's important to provide as much information as possible about your move, including the volume of furniture and appliances, property access, and any oversized or fragile items requiring additional care during transport. As Borgas does not provide packing services, furniture and appliances should be packed or prepared for collection by the customer before the removal team arrives.

Professional Communication and Customer Service

Moving house can be stressful, but excellent communication helps reduce uncertainty and keeps everything running smoothly.
From your first enquiry through to moving day, your removalist should be responsive, informative and willing to answer your questions. A professional team will explain the moving process, arrival times and what you need to have ready before the truck arrives. At Borgas, our service is focused on picking up, transporting and delivering your household furniture and appliances. We do not offer packing services, so customers need to have their belongings packed and ready for collection.
At Borgas Removals and Storage, we believe great customer service starts with listening to our customers. We work closely with you to plan your move, answer your questions and ensure your household furniture and appliances are transported safely and efficiently.

Insurance and Peace of Mind

Protecting your belongings during a move is an important consideration.
While Borgas Removals and Storage carries insurance for our vehicles and employees, we recommend speaking with your home and contents insurer to confirm whether your belongings are covered while in transit.
If you're storing your furniture with us, we also offer insurance options for goods in storage. Our team is happy to discuss the available cover and help you choose the most suitable option for your circumstances.

Why Choose Borgas Removals and Storage?

Choosing a removalist isn't just about finding the lowest price—it's about trusting a team to handle your household furniture and appliances carefully from pickup through to delivery.

How to Prepare for Removalists: 7 Simple Tips for a Stress-Free Move

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 06:47:20 GMT

Preparing for Removalists

How to Prepare for Removalists: 7 Simple Tips for a Stress-Free Move

Moving house is an exciting milestone, but it can also be one of life's most stressful experiences. Whether you're relocating across Adelaide or moving interstate, good preparation can make all the difference. Professional furniture removalists are there to take the heavy lifting off your shoulders, but there are several things you can do before moving day to help everything run smoothly.

At Borgas Removals, we believe that a well-organised move saves time, reduces stress, and helps protect your belongings throughout the journey. Here are our top tips to help you prepare before your removalists arrive.

Declutter Before You Pack
One of the biggest mistakes people make before moving is taking everything with them—including items they no longer need.
Moving house provides the perfect opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or throw away. The fewer items you move, the less time your removalists spend loading and unloading, which can also reduce moving costs.
A simple way to stay organised is to place two bags or boxes in each room:
One for rubbish or recycling
One for donations to charity
Clothing, books, toys, kitchenware, and household items that are still in good condition can often be donated to local organisations instead of taking up valuable space in the moving truck.
Decluttering before packing also makes unpacking in your new home much easier.

Have Your Personal Belongings Packed Before Moving Day
Professional removalists work most efficiently when your household items are ready to be moved when they arrive.
Clothing, kitchen items, toiletries, children's toys, books and other personal belongings should be packed into boxes before moving day. Leaving items loose or continuing to pack while the removalists are loading furniture and appliances can slow down the move.
If possible, aim to have your packing completed the day before your scheduled move. Keep a separate bag or box with the essentials you'll need during the move, such as:
Important documents
Medications
Chargers
Toiletries
A change of clothes
Children's essentials
Borgas Removals does not provide a packing service . Customers should have their personal belongings packed and ready before the removalists arrive. Borgas Removals focuses on the safe and efficient pickup and transport of household furniture, appliances and personal belongings .

Book Your Removalists Early
One of the easiest ways to avoid unnecessary stress is to secure your removalists well in advance.
Peak moving periods—including weekends, school holidays, public holidays, and the end of each month—are often booked weeks ahead.
Where possible, arrange your booking at least three to four weeks before your preferred moving date. If you're planning a move during a particularly busy period, booking even earlier is recommended.
Early booking gives you greater flexibility and allows plenty of time to organise the rest of your move without rushing.

Label Boxes Clearly
Clearly labelled boxes make moving day much easier and help your removalists identify where your belongings should go.
Before moving day, label each box with the room it belongs to. For example:
Kitchen
Main Bedroom
Ensuite
Study
Garage
You can also use coloured stickers for different rooms. This makes it easier for the Borgas Removals team to identify where boxes should be placed at your new home.
Having your boxes packed, sealed and clearly labelled before the removalists arrive helps keep the pickup organised and efficient.

Communicate With Your Removalists
Every move is different, and good communication helps ensure everything goes according to plan.
Before loading begins, let your removalists know about:
Fragile or valuable items
Furniture requiring extra care
Items that won't be moving
Access restrictions
Parking arrangements
Preferred furniture placement in your new home
At Borgas Removals, our experienced team has completed thousands of successful moves, but every home has unique requirements. Clear communication helps us deliver the best possible service.
If there are particularly heavy or awkward items such as pianos, pool tables, antiques, or oversized furniture, mention these when booking so the appropriate equipment and crew can be arranged.

Make Moving Day Easier for Everyone
On moving day, ensure pathways are clear and remove any potential trip hazards. If you have children or pets, consider arranging for them to stay with family or friends during the move.
Keep refreshments available, have your phone nearby, and complete a final walkthrough of your home before the truck departs to ensure nothing has been overlooked.
A little preparation goes a long way towards creating a smooth, efficient, and stress-free moving experience.

Furniture Storage Tips: How to Keep Your Furniture Safe in Storage

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 05:49:29 GMT

Storage Tips: How to Store Furniture Safely and Protect Your Belongings

Furniture Storage Tips: How to Keep Your Furniture Safe in Storage

Whether you're renovating, moving house, downsizing, or simply creating more space at home, placing furniture into storage can be a practical solution. Seasonal furniture, spare dining settings, antique pieces, or sentimental items don't need to clutter your home when they can be safely stored until you need them again.

At Borgas Removals & Storage, we provide secure and convenient storage solutions for households across Adelaide. To help keep your belongings in excellent condition, we've put together our top furniture storage tips to ensure your items remain clean, protected, and ready to use when it's time to bring them home.

Clean Your Furniture Before Storage
One of the most important steps before placing furniture into storage is giving it a thorough clean. Dust, dirt, food residue, and moisture can all contribute to mould, mildew, unpleasant odours, and long-term damage if left untreated.
Wipe down hard surfaces with a suitable cleaner and ensure they're completely dry before packing. Vacuum upholstered furniture to remove dust and debris, and polish timber furniture if appropriate to help protect the finish during storage.
Taking the time to clean your furniture also prevents dust and odours from transferring to nearby items inside your storage unit.

Disassemble Large Furniture Where Possible
Large furniture pieces often take up unnecessary space if they're stored fully assembled. Beds, dining tables, shelving units, desks, and other bulky items can usually be dismantled, making them much easier to transport and store.
Keep all screws, bolts, brackets, and other small hardware together in a clearly labelled zip-lock bag. Secure the bag to the corresponding piece of furniture with tape or store it in a labelled container so everything is easy to find during reassembly.
Disassembling furniture not only saves valuable storage space but also reduces the risk of damage while moving.

Protect Every Surface
Furniture should always be covered before being placed into storage. Use furniture blankets, moving pads, cotton sheets, or purpose-made furniture covers to protect surfaces from dust, scratches, and minor bumps.
Avoid wrapping furniture tightly in thick plastic for extended periods. Plastic can trap moisture and create condensation, increasing the risk of mould, swelling, and damage—particularly for timber furniture. Instead, choose breathable coverings that allow air to circulate while still protecting your belongings.
Fragile items such as mirrors, glass tabletops, artwork, and decorative pieces should be wrapped carefully using bubble wrap or specialised packing materials.

Pack Your Storage Unit Strategically
How you organise your storage space can make a significant difference to both accessibility and the condition of your furniture.
Place heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on top. Avoid stacking heavy furniture on delicate pieces, and distribute weight evenly throughout the storage unit.
If you'll need access to certain items sooner, position them near the front of the unit. Leave small walkways where possible so you can retrieve belongings without having to unpack everything.
Making the most of vertical space while keeping fragile items protected helps maximise your storage area without compromising safety.

Lift Safely
Furniture can be awkward, heavy, and difficult to manoeuvre. Always use proper lifting techniques and avoid attempting to move items that are too heavy for one person.
Furniture trolleys, lifting straps, and moving equipment can significantly reduce the risk of injury and make the process much easier.
If you're unsure about moving bulky items safely, our experiIf you're unsure about moving bulky items safely, our experienced team at Borgas Removals & Storage is here to help.

Tips for Forward Planning Your House Move

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 04:20:03 GMT

Guide to Planning your House Move

Tips for Forward Planning Your House Move

Moving to a new home is an exciting milestone, but without proper preparation it can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you're moving across town or planning an interstate relocation, the key to a smooth and stress-free experience is forward planning.

At Borgas Removals & Storage, we've helped families relocate for decades, and one thing we've learned is that the most successful moves are the ones planned well in advance. A little organisation today can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress on moving day.

Why Forward Planning Matters

Planning ahead allows you to stay in control throughout the moving process. Instead of rushing to pack at the last minute or struggling to find a removalist with limited availability, you can create a realistic timeline and complete each task at your own pace.

Booking your removalist early also gives you greater flexibility when choosing your preferred moving date, particularly during busy periods such as school holidays, weekends, and the end of the month. Early planning also gives you enough time to organise utilities, update your address, notify important contacts, and arrange storage if needed.

Book Your Removalist Early

One of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing a trusted removal company. Once you've confirmed your moving date, contact Borgas Removals & Storage to discuss your requirements.

Our experienced team provides personalised quotes based on the size of your move, the distance involved, and any storage requirements you may have. We specialise in the safe transport of household furniture and appliances for local, regional, and interstate moves.

Please note that Borgas Removals & Storage does not transport business equipment, office furniture, or commercial goods. Our focus is on helping individuals and families move their household belongings safely and efficiently.

Create a Packing Plan

Packing is often the most time-consuming part of moving house. Breaking the task into manageable stages makes it much less stressful.

Start by packing items you don't use every day, such as seasonal clothing, books, decorations, and spare household items. Leave your everyday essentials until the final few days before your move.

Using quality packing materials will help protect your furniture, appliances, and fragile belongings during transport. Strong moving boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, and quality tape all play an important role in keeping your possessions safe.

Label Every Box Clearly

A well-labelled box saves valuable time when you're unpacking in your new home.

Clearly mark each box with:

The room it belongs in.
A brief description of its contents.
Whether the contents are fragile.
Which boxes should be unpacked first.

For example, labels such as "Kitchen – Small Appliances", "Master Bedroom – Linen", or "Kids' Toys" make it much easier for both you and your removalists to place boxes in the correct rooms. Fragile items should always be clearly marked so they can be handled with extra care throughout the move.

Consider Storage Solutions

Sometimes settlement dates don't line up perfectly, renovations take longer than expected, or you're downsizing and need extra space. Professional storage provides a secure solution for keeping your household furniture and belongings safe until you're ready to move them into your new home. Borgas Removals & Storage offers secure storage options, giving you flexibility throughout your relocation.

Whether you need short-term or long-term storage, planning ahead ensures your belongings remain protected and ready when you are.

Declutter Before You Move

Moving house is the perfect opportunity to sort through your belongings and decide what you really need. Donate, recycle, or sell items you no longer use before packing. Reducing the number of household items you move can lower your moving costs, make packing easier, and help you settle into your new home more quickly.

Let Borgas Removals & Storage Help

A successful move starts long before moving day arrives. By planning ahead, booking your removalists early, packing methodically, and staying organised, you can enjoy a smoother and less stressful relocation.

At Borgas Removals & Storage, we pride ourselves on providing reliable household removal services across South Australia and interstate. Our experienced team specialises in transporting household furniture and appliances, backed by friendly service and secure storage solutions when required.

If you're planning a move, contact Borgas Removals & Storage today for a personalised quote and let our experienced team help make your next household move as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Moving Appliances Safely: Essential Tips Before Moving House

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 02:06:50 GMT

Moving your Refrigerator Safely

Moving Appliances Safely: Essential Tips Before Moving House

Moving house involves much more than packing boxes. Large household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers and microwaves require extra care to ensure they arrive at your new home safely and in good working order. These items are heavy, expensive and often contain delicate internal components that can be damaged if they are not prepared and transported correctly.

While it may be tempting to move appliances yourself, doing so can increase the risk of injury, property damage and costly repairs. Professional removalists have the right equipment, lifting techniques and experience to transport bulky appliances safely, giving you peace of mind throughout your move.

At Borgas Removals, we understand the importance of protecting your household belongings. Whether you're relocating across Adelaide, regional South Australia or interstate, these simple appliance moving tips will help prepare your home for moving day.

Prepare Your Microwave

Microwaves are relatively compact but contain delicate electronic components that need careful handling. Before packing your microwave:

Remove all food and clean the interior thoroughly.
Dry the appliance completely to prevent moisture build-up.
Remove the glass turntable and rotating ring.
Wrap the glass plate separately using bubble wrap or packing paper.
Secure the microwave door with painter's tape or moving tape to prevent it from opening during transport.
Packing the glass plate separately greatly reduces the chance of it breaking while in transit.

Moving a Washing Machine

Washing machines require a little extra preparation before they can be safely transported.

A few days before your move, complete your final load of laundry so the machine has enough time to dry completely. Disconnect the power and water supply, then drain any remaining water from the hoses. Residual water can leak during transport and potentially damage other belongings.

If possible:

Disconnect and drain the inlet and outlet hoses.
Secure loose cables with tape.
Lock or secure the drum if recommended by the manufacturer.
Leave the door slightly open until moving day to allow any remaining moisture to evaporate.
Keep accessories such as hoses, connectors and the user manual together in a clearly labelled bag so they're easy to locate when setting up your new laundry.

Preparing Your Clothes Dryer

Before moving your dryer:

Remove all clothing.
Clean the lint filter thoroughly.
Disconnect any venting or drainage hoses.
Secure the power cord.
Check the manufacturer's instructions for any transport recommendations.

A clean dryer is ready to use sooner after installation and reduces the chance of lint creating unnecessary mess during the move.

How to Move a Refrigerator

Refrigerators require the most preparation of all household appliances. Begin using up food several days before moving day. Once the fridge is nearly empty:

Turn the appliance off at least 24 hours before moving.
Allow the freezer to fully defrost.
Wipe away all moisture.
Clean shelves and drawers with warm water or a mild vinegar solution.
Dry every surface thoroughly to prevent mould and unpleasant odours.
Remove or secure loose shelves and drawers.
Tape the doors closed before transport.

After your refrigerator arrives at your new home, allow it to stand upright for several hours before plugging it in. This gives the refrigerant and compressor oil time to settle, helping the appliance operate correctly.

Why Choose Professional Removalists?

Moving heavy appliances isn't simply about strength—it's about using the correct lifting techniques, protective equipment and transport methods.

Professional removalists know how to manoeuvre bulky items through narrow hallways, staircases and doorways while reducing the risk of damage to your home and belongings. Using trolleys, protective blankets, straps and specialised moving equipment also helps keep appliances secure throughout the journey.

At Borgas Removals, our experienced team takes every precaution to ensure your appliances are transported safely and efficiently. Whether you're moving locally, across regional South Australia or interstate, we provide reliable removal services tailored to your needs.

Let Borgas Removals Make Moving Easier

Preparing your appliances before moving day saves time, reduces stress and helps protect your valuable household items. With the right planning—and the support of experienced removalists—you can enjoy a smoother transition into your new home.

Moving Out for the First Time? Practical Tips for a Smooth Move

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 09:07:19 GMT

Practical Tips for a Smooth Move

Moving out of home for the first time can feel exciting, overwhelming and a little daunting all at once, especially for teenagers and young adults.

Whether you’re moving for study, work, independence or a fresh start, it’s important to take your time, think things through and plan properly. With Borgas Removals, a smooth move begins well before moving day.

The first thing to consider is whether moving out is the right decision for you at this point in time. Have you worked out where you’ll be living? Can you afford rent, food, power, internet, transport and other everyday expenses? Will you be living alone, with friends, with a partner, or in shared accommodation? These are important questions to ask before making a final decision.

If possible, talk things through with someone you trust. This might be a parent, family member, friend, teacher, employer or support person. And when you’re ready to move, Borgas Removals can help make that next step easier.

Once you know where you’re going, start by working out what you actually need to take with you. For a first move, you may not need a full houseful of furniture. Often, it might just be a bed, a mattress, a desk, drawers, a fridge, a washing machine, a couch, or a few boxes of personal items. Keeping things simple can help reduce stress and keep moving costs manageable.

If you’re buying second-hand furniture through Marketplace or from family and friends, remember to factor in how you’ll get it delivered. Borgas Removals can help with that. We regularly travel between Adelaide and Regional South Australia, helping with everything from single-item deliveries to small moves and full house relocations.

A few simple moving tips can also make the day much easier:

Label your boxes clearly.
Keep important documents and essentials with you.
Don’t overpack heavy boxes.
Measure larger furniture before moving day.
Make sure someone is available at both pick-up and delivery points.
Book transport early, especially for regional moves

Good communication is also important. Let your removalist know exactly what needs to be moved, where it is going, and whether there are any stairs, narrow driveways or access issues.

At Borgas Removals, we understand that every move is different. Whether you’re moving out for the first time, relocating from the country to Adelaide, or bringing furniture back to Regional SA, let us help make the process easier.

Measure First - Move Once

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 22:37:10 GMT

A Simple Moving Tip that can save you a lot of Stress

Whether you are moving house, buying furniture on Marketplace, or organising a single-item delivery, there is one simple step that can save time, stress, and frustration on moving day: measure first.

It sounds obvious, but many people fall in love with a lounge, fridge, wardrobe, dining table or cabinet before checking whether it will actually fit through the door. A great bargain can quickly become a headache if the item cannot get through the front entrance, hallway, stairwell or into the room where it needs to go.

At Borgas Removals, we help with everything from single-item deliveries to full-house moves across Adelaide and Regional South Australia. One of the most helpful things customers can do before moving day is take a few key measurements.

Start by measuring the item itself. Check the height, width and depth, and remember to include any legs, handles, shelves or awkward angles. If the item can be dismantled, it is worth checking how much smaller it becomes once taken apart.
Next, measure the access points at both locations. This includes doorways, hallways, staircases, lifts, verandahs, sheds, garages and tight corners. It is also important to consider the route from the truck to the property. Are there steps? Narrow gates? Low verandah roofs? Gravel driveways? These little details can make a big difference when moving large or heavy furniture.

For Marketplace purchases, measurements are especially important. If you are buying from Adelaide and having the item delivered to a regional town, ask the seller for accurate measurements before committing. Photos can be deceiving, and what looks like a standard lounge or cabinet online may be larger than expected.

Taking measurements also helps your removalist plan the job properly. It allows the team to prepare the appropriate equipment, properly protect the furniture, and determine the safest way to load, transport, and unload your items. Good planning helps protect your furniture, your home and the people doing the heavy lifting.

Borgas Removals travels weekly between Adelaide and Regional SA, helping with furniture transport, Marketplace delivery, country-to-city moves, city-to-country moves, and full-house removals. We regularly service areas including Port Pirie, Port Augusta, Whyalla, the Mid North, Riverland, Yorke Peninsula and other parts of South Australia where possible.

So before your next move, remember: measure first, move once.

Need a lounge, fridge, wardrobe, dining table, or a full house moved? Get in touch with Borgas Removals to check availability. We are on the road every week between Adelaide and Regional South Australia — up and back — making moving easier, safer and less stressful.

Moving House Checklist

Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:54 GMT

Moving House Checklist: Everything You Need to Do for a Stress-Free Move

Moving house can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re not sure where to start. Whether you're relocating within Adelaide or heading to regional South Australia, having a clear plan makes all the difference.

This simple moving house checklist from Borgas Removals will help you stay organised, reduce stress, and ensure nothing gets missed.

1. Book Your Removalist Early

One of the most important steps in any move is securing a reliable removalist.

Booking early ensures availability — particularly for regional runs between Adelaide, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Pirie and the Riverland.

Borgas Removals offers experienced, no-fuss service with regular transport routes between the city and regional South Australia.

2. Create a Moving Inventory List

Before packing begins, make a list of everything that needs to be moved.

This should include:

Furniture
Packed boxes
Fragile or valuable items

A clear inventory helps ensure nothing is overlooked and allows for an accurate quote.

3. Start Packing the Right Way

Packing properly saves time and prevents damage.

We recommend:

Packing non-essential items first
Using sturdy boxes instead of loose items
Clearly labelling each box by room and contents

Well-organised packing helps your move run more quickly and efficiently.

4. Prepare for Moving Day

As your moving date approaches, preparation is key.

Make sure:

All boxes are packed and ready
Walkways and access points are clear
Essential items are kept separate

Being organised on the day helps avoid delays and keeps everything running smoothly.

5. Update Utilities and Address Details

Before you move, don’t forget to handle important admin tasks:

Transfer or disconnect electricity, gas, water, and internet
Update your address with banks, subscriptions, and services
Finalise any outstanding bills

Taking care of this early avoids unnecessary stress after the move.

Tips For Teenagers Moving Out

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:53 GMT

Moving out of home as a teenager can be very stressful, especially if it is because of any negative relationships with parents/siblings. It is, therefore, extremely important that you try not to make any irrational decisions when it comes to moving out at a young age.

We are here to make sure that this does not happen, as we want what is best for you and your family by providing some simple tips for moving out as a teenager.

Firstly, make sure that moving out is the right move for you. Are you going to be able to afford to live by yourself? Have you organised to move in with anyone else? Are you ready to move away from your family? These are the types of questions we recommend you’re asking yourself before booking with us, in order to avoid the possibility of having to move back home shortly after moving out.

It is also important that you communicate with your family and with us regularly to ensure that the move goes as smoothly as possible. This includes figuring out the planning and budget side of things early, so that you can book with us with plenty of time before the move, in case you change your mind about being ready to move out.

Lastly, here at Borgas, we are willing to help, so in case you have any questions regarding the move or if you need tips, feel free to give us a call at 8351 0046.

Moving With Pets

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:49 GMT

Are you looking to move house this summer and are not sure what to do with your pets? Here at Borgas, we’ll provide you with some simple and helpful tips on what to do with your pets during what can be stressful times.

Firstly, it is important that you organise a place your for pets to stay if you do not wish to travel with them on the moving day. This can either be in a shelter, with friends or even with family. It is also important that you speak to your local vet for any recommendations of Veterinary Practices near your new home.

Another important thing to remember when moving is to keep your pets (especially dogs and cats) away from the removalists when they are completing their job. It can become a tripping hazard, and when carrying heavy objects, there is a potential that someone, including your pet, may get hurt.

Lastly, when moving homes, it is important that any information regarding phone numbers and addresses is updated on your pets’ microchip. This is something which should be planned in advance to the move, as it will minimize the option of having to think about it during the move. It is also important to make sure that your new home has adequate fencing surrounding the home, otherwise there is a possibility that your pets may get lost.

Safely Lifting Boxes, The Borgas Way

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:48 GMT

Have you ever wondered what the best way of lifting boxes is without hurting your back? Well, we have the answer. Here at Borgas, we take pride in ensuring the safety of our customers, not only when we are on the job, but when you are preparing for a move.

Boxes can be hard to manipulate, especially when they come in all different sizes and weights, some of which are beyond one’s capabilities.

The following six tips educate the best way to lift boxes when preparing for us to transport your furniture to your final destination:

1. Plant your feet shoulder width apart
2. Get a strong grip on either side of the box with your full hand (not just your fingers)
3. Keep the box close to your body
4. Bend your knees with a straight back (squat position)
5. Lift into an upper position
6. Do steps 1-4 in reverse order when placing the box down

By following these steps, you can ensure that packing up to move with us, either locally, rurally or interstate, will be efficient and most importantly, safe.

Second Hand Furniture – Yes, We Pick Up, Store & Deliver Second Hand Furniture

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:43 GMT

Recycling and upcycling furniture is a thrifty, practical, and fun way to fill your home with unique items whilst being environmentally conscious! In this process, old furniture can be transformed into something new and second-hand bargains can be re-born into stylish pieces that will compliment your home.

The furniture industry is filled with different textiles, woods, plastics, and resins that can amount to enormous waste capacities. Purchasing second-hand items reduces the demand for new resources and removes plastic packaging wastes. Whilst Borgas Removals & Storage facilitates many new furniture deliveries, we can also assist with picking up, storing, and delivering your second-hand bargains. Whether you’re buying or selling, you can arrange a cost-competitive delivery that will have your furniture in its new home as soon as possible.

We’ll also use industry-grade materials to ensure that the fragile items are delivered in perfect condition, as we understand that these items are one of a kind.

We’ve put together some tips for second-hand shopping here:
– When searching for items, look online through websites such as Gumtree and eBay.

– Browse through your local area for used furniture stores, auctions, garage sales and charity shops.

– If you’re wanting to purchase bulk items, always ask for discount. Many places are willing to offer discounts on several pieces if they’re purchased together.

– If you’re planning on restoring damaged furniture, make sure you budget in the materials needed for restoration such as paint and varnish. This can often cost more than the item’s worth.

– Always inspect second-hand goods before purchasing, as some people will try and sell broken objects that cannot be repaired or that may be rotting.

– When purchasing beds and chairs, always have them cleaned before use to eliminate any bed bugs that may be present.

– Always try out furniture before you buy – open drawers and sit on chairs to make sure hinges and springs are working properly.

– Have dimensions of your space written down before shopping to ensure that you’re only buying furniture that will fit your space.

Weekly Service To The Riverland SA

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:42 GMT

South Australia’s Riverland is home to Australia’s longest river, the Murray River, and is located between stunning cliff fronts, conservation parks, and picturesque landscapes. The Riverland is located 2-3 hours north-east of Adelaide and 90 minutes west of Victoria. Its major town centers include Renmark, Berri, Loxton, Waikerie, Barmera and Monash, along with many minor townships. The Riverland has a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and relatively mild winters, with temperatures a few degrees above Adelaide.

The Riverland is a great option for people looking to purchase holiday houses, settle into retirement, or experience country living. There are plenty of opportunities for working individuals to gain employment in the Riverland, as it’s Australia’s largest wine-producing region. The Riverland grows over half (63% as of 2014) of South Australia’s wine grapes. The agricultural industry is the Riverland’s largest employer, with approximately 3000 farm-based businesses.

The region fosters advantageous soils, climate, and water supplies to support horticulture production, which has allowed the region to grow a diverse range of crops. As a result, the Riverland boasts some of the best fresh seasonal fruits, as well as unique beers and ciders, and innovative cellar door, brewery and distillery experiences. So whatever tastes or age, there will be something for you in the Riverland!

Borgas Removals & Storage make regular weekly trips to the Riverland offering local moves, backloading services, and new furniture deliveries across all major and minor townships. We can facilitate your move from almost anywhere across regional and metropolitan South Australia. With over 30 years of experience, we can move your beloved furniture to and from the Riverland with professionalism and expertise.

Top Tips for Office Relocations Adelaide

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:40 GMT

Are looking to upgrade or downgrade your office? We can help. At Borgas Removals & Storage we understand how difficult the relocation process can be, and we’re here to make it as easy as possible. That’s why we’ve put together some helpful tips for executing a stress-free office move. Having a great physical address is crucial for any company’s success, so take time early on to assess which locations will best suit your company’s and client’s needs.

Once a suitable location has been sourced, create a clear timeline of the moving process that can be distributed amongst your staff members – this will help everyone relax. Offices typically require a minimum of 6 months to ensure a smooth transition between locations. This will give you time to update internet and phone services, permits, and insurance policies.

Update your marketing 1-3 months ahead of time to ensure that your shipping and billing addresses are correct. This includes letterheads, signage, business cards, social medias and websites. A few weeks prior to your move, take some time decluttering the office and recruit any trustworthy staff members to assist you, as this will be a time-consuming process.

At Borgas Removals and storage we can facilitate short-distance and long-distance moves all throughout metropolitan and rural South Australia.

How To Choose The Right Packing Materials For Your Move

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:40 GMT

Moving house can be an exciting time, however, it’s essential that you spend some time considering which packing materials are required prior to your move. The moving process is one that, if not planned efficiently and with some attention to detail, can result in unwanted damage to your personal possessions. Materials such as cardboard boxes, bubble-wrap, newspapers, and packing tape are relatively inexpensive. Therefore, it’s a good idea to stock up on these items from your local hardware store, such as Bunnings or Mitre 10.

So how do you ensure your materials are up to scratch – to avoid a scratch? Here are some helpful tips for selecting materials and executing the packing process.

1. When purchasing packing materials, make sure to choose both lightweight and heavyweight boxes.

2. Items such as ornaments and other breakables should be packed into smaller boxes and lined with bubble wrap.

3. Cut up some of the cardboard boxes to create inner-dividers and place between small items for extra protection.

4. Make sure your items are packed closely together, as this will minimize room for movement and breakage on the road.

5. Seal each box with strong packing tape, ensuring that the tape covers all sides of the box to prevent collapse.

Borgas Removals and Storage will provide industry-grade packing blankets to ensure that larger furniture, without boxes, remain protected during the move. It’s important that smaller items are packed prior to our arrival, as this will save time and money on the day. These packing measures will ensure that your possessions are protected all the way from A to Z.

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:37 GMT

Port Lincoln is emerging as one of South Australia’s most vibrant and prosperous regional centers, located in the southern Eyre Peninsula. It fosters one of the largest protected natural harbors in the world, being three times larger than the Sydney Harbor. Port Lincoln is filled with incredible seafood, beautiful wines, ocean adventures, wildlife experiences, award-winning tours, and an abundance of everyday activities to keep the locals occupied. If you’re searching for a change of scene, Port Lincoln could be the answer for you.

The region is renowned both domestically and internationally for its premium seafood products, which can be attributed to the marketing success of their trademark brand: ‘Eyre Peninsula – Australia’s Seafood Frontier’. This reputation has been built on sound environmental management, sustainability, aquaculture development and entrepreneurship. South Australian Premier Steven Marshall has also announced a project named ‘Southern Launch’ which will increase the region’s economic prosperity by increasing tourism and employment from late 2019.

Borgas Removals and Storage undertakes weekly trips to Port Lincoln, assisting local moves and offering backloading services.

Moving The Elderly

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:36 GMT

Moving a parent or loved one into assisted living can be an emotional process for everyone involved. They may be mourning the loss of their independence and stepping out of their comfort zone. Moving into a retirement home usually means downsizing, which means that their old dining room table and other sentimental items probably can’t come.

What can come, however, is an abundance of photo albums, books, nick-nacks, blankets, and other small yet valuable items. These are often fragile, and you’ll want to be careful when moving them. That’s why you should consider hiring a removalist team to complete the job. Borgas Removals & Storage can facilitate any kind of move, whether large or small, from all over Adelaide and regional South Australia.

We have plenty of experience moving elderly family members and understand that some jobs require emotional care. We can facilitate your parents move with smaller teams and industry-approved packing materials to keep their sentimental items protected during the move. We can also store larger furniture at our Clarence Gardens Depot for a competitive weekly price until the items are ready to be sold or redistributed.

We’ll work with your family and communicate efficiently to ensure that the transition occurs smoothly with minimal stress.

Selling or Storing Your Furniture

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:34 GMT

Are you moving to a new house and can’t decide whether to sell or store your furniture? There are several benefits to both options, and we’re here to help you decide which works best for you. First things first, are you downsizing? If so, you’re likely to own too much furniture for your new space. Here’s where you need to decide the value of your items; do they possess monetary, practical, or sentimental value?

Ask yourself these questions:
Will this item physically fit within the new space?
Does it reflect the style of my new home?
Will I be able to use this furniture in years to come?
Are there any valued memories attached to this item?

If you find yourself answering yes to these questions, you should probably keep the furniture. If not, you should consider hosting a garage sale, creating an ad on Gumtree, or contacting your friends and family to recycle your furniture before the move. On the other hand, storage facilities make great options for families with large sentimental items that don’t suit the style of their new home. As selling furniture is a permanent solution, it might be best to keep your items in storage until you’re certain about your decision. Borgas Removals and Storage can hold your valued furniture for a competitive weekly price, invoiced monthly or 3-monthly, so that you can keep your items without compromising the aesthetic of your new home.

Our Clarence Gardens Depot is conveniently located within 15 minutes of Adelaide’s city central, but we hold furniture from all over South Australia with a no lock-in contract, short or long term.

10 things you might forget to do before moving day (which you shouldn’t!)

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Sat, 15 Aug 2020 07:11:33 GMT

1. Sort through your household belongings and return borrowed items (such as library books or your friend’s t-shirt). You wouldn’t want to move long-distance before realizing and have to mail things back! Likewise, pick up items that family and friends have borrowed from you.

2. Declutter and minimalize your life by removing and donating any items that you haven’t worn or used within the last year. If you didn’t use it last year, you’re not likely to use it this year! This also applies to non-functional furniture.

3. Check your kitchen and bathroom cupboards for expired goods. There’s no point throwing something away from the other end when it can be done now!

4. Check for redundant paper work and out-of-date magazines/newspapers and dispose of them. You can simply take a photo of your favorite articles or browse for an online copy.

5. Clean out your garage and contact your local council on how to correctly dispose of any toxic/flammable wastes. This includes all paint, oil, and aerosols, which can be dangerous and unnecessary to travel with.

6. Back up your computer and other electrical devices onto a hard drive. This will ensure that you have copies of your most precious images and files, incase your device becomes lost or damaged during the move.

7. Drain your kitchen appliances and hoses so that they don’t leak during transit.

8. Be a good neighbor and consider hosting a farewell BBQ before you leave!

9. Pack an overnight bag. Even if you’re moving early during the day you may become too exhausted to sort through your belongings on arrival. It’s more work now, but you’ll thank yourself later.

10. Lastly, get plenty of sleep the night before. Keep your coffee machine unpacked and set your alarm early enough to keep on top of the day before your removalist team arrives!

Why should you hire a professional removalist team when you can do it yourself?

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 15:04:46 GMT

We all know that moving houses can be an expensive process, so you may be tempted to make shortcuts here and there. You might consider hiring a trailer and gathering a team of family and friends to save costs on professionals.

Unfortunately when moving houses, hire trucks and trailers charge half-day and full-day rates. At Borgas Removals & Storage we charge hourly rates for local moves and provide fixed prices for long-distance moves. When you hire your own truck or trailer, you’re likely to be making multiple trips back and forth between houses. Not only is this a tedious process, but its also costly as you’ll be paying for several tanks of petrol. Your items are also likely to get scratched and damaged during the trip without professional fitting. You wouldn’t want to move into a new house with broken furniture, would you?

There is also a safety aspect to hiring a professional removalist team. At Borgas Removals & Storage our team members have years of experience and training behind them. This means that they are better equipped to move heavy furniture than your DIY team. Hiring a professional team eliminates the possibility of self-injury and furniture damage, which is priceless.

Lastly, you will also be granted peace of mind when hiring a removalist team, as we’re guaranteed to be there on time with the correct equipment. Need more convincing? Give us a call today and we can discuss the benefits of hiring Borgas Removals & Storage for your move.

Move with a removalist that provides storage options – Moving interstate? – Moving regionally? – We’ll take care of it!

websitebuilder@thryv.com — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 14:59:57 GMT

Moving interstate can be a daunting and stressful process, especially if you’re moving from a regional town. You may be asking yourself, where do I even start? Well I’m here to let you know that Borgas Removals & Storage can facilitate your move from the early stages until final settlement. We differ from other removalist companies because we provide storage services from our Adelaide depot, allowing you to move with peace of mind knowing that your items are safely stored. If your move is temporary, you may want to consider packing lightly and making the most of our storage facilities until you’re certain about your move.

Borgas Removals & Storage can facilitate any interstate move from Adelaide, the Riverland, Iron Triangle and Eyre Peninsula towns to Melbourne and rural Victoria. Our door-to-door services will take the stress out of your move so that you can focus on yourself and family.

The secret to moving interstate is planning ahead to eliminate as much stress as possible. Here at Borgas Removals & Storage we offer interim storage services, which can be useful if you’re moving into a rental property. When buying and selling your property, it’s a good idea to allow a few days in-between moving out and moving into your new home. Interstate settlements don’t always go as planned for many reasons. At Borgas, we have been in these uncomfortable situations where settlements don’t play out as planned. This can be avoided if settlement dates leave room for the unexpected and storage facilities are planned ahead.

So if you’re thinking of moving interstate, give us a call and we can assist in planning and executing your move at a competitive price. Our friendly staff can also provide some helpful tips and tricks for your move.
