About our Short Notice or Last Minute Moving service

Last minute moving is stressful, but it can still be done well. When you need to move at short notice, or a previous mover has let you down, Leopard Movers can plan the move quickly, subject to crew and vehicle availability. Call or WhatsApp us with your date, both addresses and a list or photos of what needs to move, and we will tell you what is possible.

How to prepare for a last minute move

  • Make a simple checklist and book your mover first, so the date is secured.
  • Declutter quickly: set aside what you will not take instead of packing it.
  • Gather boxes, bubble wrap, tape, markers and labels before you start.
  • Pack one room at a time and label every box with its room and contents.
  • Take apart larger furniture where you can, which saves space and reduces damage.
  • Keep documents, keys, chargers and sentimental valuables with you, in one bag.
  • Ask friends or family to help with packing while the movers handle the heavy lifting.

Who this suits

This service suits people with a sudden relocation, a sale or lease that changed dates, a mover who cancelled, or anyone who simply started planning late.
