How to Avoid the Most Common Moving Mistakes
If you’ve ever moved and made a big mistake while doing it, we can pretty much guarantee that you’ll never make that mistake again. Now, some mistakes are fun. Sometimes you forget to label the outside of one box and it almost feels like a surprise when you open it up. This sounds like all fun and games but what if you labeled zero boxes! Then, that quickly becomes a big old nightmare! At Brooks Transfer & Storage, we want you to avoid the most common moving mistakes so that your move goes as smoothly as possible! Here are some tips to keep you from turning your exciting move into an expensive disaster!
Research Your Moving Company
When you move, you need to know all the information. One of the worst case scenarios during a move is that you pick someone because they look affordable and then they completely scam you. They take your money and all your belongings and you are left with that extremely sad emoji face for weeks. Do your research, people! Did they give you an in-person estimate? Do they have insurance? Are they even available the day you want to move? Do you feel like they are trustworthy and reliable? These are all things that are crucial when trying to avoid a very common moving mistake.
Declutter Your Current Space
You know what’s really obnoxious? Moving something extremely heavy to a new location and then deciding you actually don’t really want or need it. While many may not enjoy going through every item they own, it’s an important part of moving! If you are able to clean your existing home out and really fine tune your items, keeping the things you enjoy most, not only will it save you tons of money in packing, but it will allow more space you can utilize in your new home!
Packing
There are so many things to avoid doing while packing. Whether it’s putting something extremely heavy into a box or packing up flammable and corrosive materials together, packing can be exhausting, hazardous, and take a lot of brain power! The best thing you can do to avoid a mistake in packing is let someone who has much more experience than you pack up your belongings. While you worry about packing your essentials, let us pack up all of your belongings in an organized and effective manner.
