OUR TOP 5 TIPS FOR MOVING HOME

When moving home it's important to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.

That's where we come in! At Inabox, we have the ultimate solution to make your move as smooth and efficient as possible. Let's get you settled into your new home, hassle-free, with these 5 handy tips.

1. Download the Organise by Inabox app

Never want to lose your items again? We have the answer. Keep track of your stuff while moving with our innovative mobile app, Organise by Inabox.

Start by downloading the app at either the App Store or Google Play, and then setting up a free account.

Next you’ll need some Organise by Inabox QR Stickers, which you can grab during a quick Bunnings trip or by purchasing direct from us.

Once you're ready to setup your first box, simply stick a QR sticker on a box, scan it, then add a box name, location, contents and photos - that's it! That box is now ready to go.

2. Invest in quality storage containers

Our Heavy Duty Containers are built tough, giving you peace of mind that your belongings won’t get damaged in transit. The flexible body has been designed to withstand cracking if knocked or dropped meaning your fragile items are in safe hands.

Plus you'll be able to reuse them in your new home or garage long after the move, meaning they're a more sustainable choice compared to single use cardboard or plastic. Heavy Duty Containers are available at Bunnings and come in a range of sizes up to 100 litres.

3. Stocktake your items

It’s surprising how quickly clutter can build up over time. That’s why moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter and start fresh by letting go of items you no longer need or use — whether by throwing them out or donating them. That grey jacket that's collected dust in the back of the cupboard since an ill-advised blind date back in 2021? Gone...

4. Sort your stuff

With the app, sorting your stuff has never been easier. Start by grouping your things by location - try doing this room by room, such as bedroom or kitchen - and then break it down further into categories like crockery or blankets to make it all more manageable.

Using the app, you can add keywords to describe what's in each box along with photos for a quick visual way of sorting your stuff.

5. Find what you need fast

We get it... finding what you need after a move can be a hassle, especially after a hard day moving. But luckily, you've setup your boxes in the app and all you need to do now is search for your keywords or scan a QR Sticker to see what's in a box. 

This removes the hassle of opening multiple boxes labelled ‘kitchen’ or searching in the wrong place for your crockery for your first meal in your new home. Or maybe you want to relax with your favourite book after the busy day – a quick search and you’ll be kicking back on the couch reading in no time.

Take it a step further by making use of the app’s ‘share’ function to provide family or housemates with access to the box contents.
