Launch of National Moving Month

National Moving Month Launched in Australia

The busiest month for home moves celebrated by the launch of the first 'National Moving Month' by Citymove, with an exciting new competition to mark it.

Sydney, Australia, November 28 -- A study by Citymove has determined that December is usually the busiest month for home relocations as people rush to begin their new lives in their new home in time for the New Year, creating a fresh start across the board. With this in mind, Citymove have decided to launch 'National Moving Month'.

To mark the start of the month and to coincide with a giveaway launched in conjunction with National Moving Month, new research has been released by Citymove, discovering some of the more bizarre requests made by customers when organising removal services.

The strangest thing ever moved by Citymove was a four tonne truck full of single service handy wipes. James Wheeler, director of Citymove said: "The wipes were the kind you get when buying chicken from a fast food place, like baby wipes. Except these were being rebranded by someone and then being handed out to the prostitutes in Kings Cross for them to use after...servicing clients."

Among the many other things Citymove have relocated, customers have made requests to move:
· A small goldfish bowl (using a four tonne truck)
· 25kg of Ice cream from Sydney to Brisbane in an unrefrigerated lorry (costing $550)
· A car between states, with a dog on the backseat. (Alive, more biting than kicking)
· Australia's largest floor tiles, with each measuring 3mx2m.

However, the strangest request made to Citymove according to James was repeatedly made. "We actually had a six month period of regular phone calls from someone who always wanted to hire two 'fit and muscular men' to move one small box from one room to another. After much questioning we found out it was a drag queen looking to book herself a private show!"

The exciting giveaway Citymove is launching relates to this research. They want to find out from people, their weird and wonderful moving stories. People may visit www.nationalmovingmonth.org and send in a story, leave an email address and Citymove will be in touch to give everyone who enters a $50 voucher off their next relocation with Citymove, making sure everyone wins.
