Moving is always a complicated process and can often become chaotic because of common errors people make. Auburn Moving & Storage, the premier moving service in Sacramento, has identified several common moving mistakes that lead to unnecessary stress and expense.
Common Moving Mistakes To Avoid
These are some of the most common moving mistakes people make in both short- and long-distance moves:
-
Packing last minute. Failing to establish a workable timeline for packing or procrastinating leads to stress and rushing around at the last minute as movers arrive. Make the process manageable by developing a room-by-room packing plan and sticking to an orderly, non-rushed packing "to-do" list.
-
Not decluttering. Customers often report how frustrating it is to arrive at their new home only to realize they took the time and expense to move things they no longer need. Deal with this issue by selling or donating unwanted items before packing begins.
-
Not labeling boxes. People can end up with a messy unpacking with things scattered around their new homes in the wrong rooms. Label every box clearly to detail its contents and which room it belongs in at your new location.
-
Ignoring a moving budget. Every move seems to involve unexpected or additional expenses. Carefully plan and fund a budget that includes space for extra costs to avoid financial strain and wasted time during the move.
-
Hiring movers without research. Waiting until the last minute to hire any available moving company can result in unwanted trouble and delays. Take the time to conduct thorough research — then start and finish with Auburn Moving & Storage.
-
Forgetting to change addresses. This one sounds simple, but people often forget to handle the simple change of address process.
