At Coupar Collins, our local moving company has helped with countless moves over the years. While some go smoothly, others are more chaotic. We want your upcoming move to go as smoothly as possible, and as your local moving company, we’re here to help make this happen.
We also want you to be aware of some common moving mistakes we see that you should try and avoid. Here are five local moving blunders to keep in mind before moving day arrives:
- Procrastinating. Packing and reorganizing always take longer than you think. Whatever you do, don’t take until the last minute to start this process.
- Not decluttering. Don’t wait to declutter your items until after you move. When you pack, this is the perfect opportunity to figure out what you want to keep and what you want to donate or get rid of.
- Not labeling boxes. Avoid labeling your boxes with “miscellaneous” or not labeling them at all. Instead, try to clearly label your moving boxes so that you know exactly what goes where.
- Not creating a box of everyday necessities. Don’t skip the essentials box before you move! Put together a box with toiletries, clothes, chargers, and snacks that you keep with you during your move.
- Overpacking boxes. Heavy boxes can break, so don’t try and cram as much as possible into each and every box. For the most part, it’s a good idea to keep boxes under 50 pounds.
