Moving Day Mistakes to Avoid

Moving at the wrong time.

It is very crucial for people who plan on relocating to consider the time of the year in which they would move. Not doing this may influence how stressful their move will be. To be sure, call a professional quality mover. It is advisable to make the first contact between three and four months before the desired move date.

Preparing on the D-Day 

For a successful move, it is essential to organize. So it is unthinkable to arrange your boxes or defrost your fridge the morning of your move. Unplug your refrigerator 1 to 2 days before to allow it to defrost and be movable on the D-day. For preparing your cartons, doing that a few weeks in advance can help you manage space. 

Not researching movers and insurance 

You should entrust your furniture and belongings to the right movers. These professionals will have a heavy responsibility to transport your property in the best possible conditions and without damage. Just as you would not leave your child to just any nanny, it is vital to choose the right mover.

Not estimating the cost of the move 

Before making the final decision to go through a professional mover, it is vital to ask for a detailed quote of all the services you will need for your move. Doing this will help avoid financial hassles during your journey.

Underestimate the importance of the inventory 

On your moving day(s), you will have to deal with many things; the movers, the last adjustments, the final cleaning touches. A lot of traffic and cardboard in your house and so many upheavals. However, do not neglect the importance of the inventory list. 

When preparing all of your boxes, take the time to make an inventory that will help you, on the one hand, to find everything when you unpack your boxes in your new home, but that will also allow you to make a good follow-up check of your belongings during the move. You guarantee that you can track and verify that your property is complete. 

It is important to read the list of the inventory at your departure carefully; to check that nothing is left behind. Then do not forget to re-read this inventory when unloading your belongings in your new home. It will be easier for you to do the necessary steps on the day of unloading than a few weeks later.
