8 common mistakesThe move is hard work. The simple thought can send chills into the spine. Although it often seems like a DIY task, hiring professional movers can make the move pleasant and hassle free.
But before you finalize it, get ready to avoid unnecessary stress. Here is an overview of the common mistakes people make when they move.
1. You think you can do DIY
The move by oneself is not as "fun" as we suppose. Give yourself enough time to study how you want to move and scrutinize everything that is involved. Take references from friends who have moved and talk to the movers for clarity before making a decision.
2. Unplanned packaging
Give yourself plenty of time to pack before your move starts - at least six weeks before the move. Choose to do an inventory before and after packing.
3. Do not clean the house
There are many things in our house and offices that we have not used for years. Get rid of them instead of losing money by moving them.
4. Do not label boxes
Label your boxes properly and stay sorted. This not only allows the boxes to be loaded correctly but also makes unpacking easier.
5. Leaving your valuables with the movers
Moving companies can not be held responsible for expensive items. So, wrap and wrap your jewelry, important documents and all other personal items safely with you.
6. Do not pack a survival kit
Remember to pack a small bag with the items you will need immediately during the first week at your new location. Looking for such items in large boxes can be a pain.
7. Ignore "rush hour" and weather
There may be a "traffic jam" in motion at certain times when Mother Nature may not cooperate. So, plan ahead !!
8. Do not read through your insurance
Understand what all your insurance entails. Be aware of how much and what exactly it covers.
