What to Expect on Moving Day: From Arrival to Unpacking

Moving day often feels like a whirlwind—there’s excitement, stress, and a long to‑do list all at once. The good news? With the right expectations and a trusted partner like Star Moving Solutions, the entire process becomes much easier to manage. Here’s a step‑by‑step walkthrough of what happens on moving day, from the moment the crew arrives to the time you’re settling in with your essentials.

Morning Arrival and Walk‑Through

Your moving crew will typically arrive early in the day to make the most of available daylight and time. When Star Moving Solutions arrives, our team leader will introduce themselves, confirm details, and do a quick walk‑through of your home with you. This is your chance to point out fragile items, specialty pieces, or anything that requires extra care. We label and note everything before lifting a single box, ensuring your belongings are handled exactly how you want them to be.

Packing and Loading

If you’ve opted for full-service packing, our crew will get to work right away—carefully wrapping furniture, disassembling large pieces, and packing up your remaining items. If you’ve packed in advance, we’ll inspect the boxes for safety and begin loading. Star’s team uses protective padding, floor runners, and proven techniques to keep both your home and your possessions safe throughout the process. Throughout the morning, you’ll see steady progress as your rooms clear out and your belongings are secured in the truck.

Real‑Time Communication and Inventory

As items are loaded, we maintain an inventory so nothing is overlooked. You’ll get updates from the crew leader so you always know what stage we’re at. At Star, transparency is key—we want you to feel confident every step of the way.

Transport and Arrival at Your New Home

Once everything is loaded, the team heads to your new home. For local moves, you’ll typically see your belongings again the same day. For longer or interstate moves, we coordinate the delivery schedule with you in advance. Either way, our experienced drivers plan routes efficiently to keep things on schedule and protect your belongings in transit.

Unloading and Placement

Upon arrival, we’ll do another walk‑through of your new space. Show us where you’d like items placed—whether that’s specific rooms, storage areas, or even particular walls for larger furniture. Our team will unload, reassemble furniture we took apart, and position items according to your instructions. Because we label everything during packing, boxes end up exactly where they belong, saving you time and energy later.

Unpacking Essentials First

Once the truck is empty, focus on unpacking what you need right away. We recommend starting with an essentials box—things like toiletries, phone chargers, important documents, and basic kitchen items. With Star’s organized approach, you’ll know exactly where that box is. Many customers tell us this step is a huge stress reliever.
