Top Five Mistakes People Commit When Moving
November 21st, 2014Moving is stressful; don’t add to the stress by committing the following mistakes!
- Forgetting to setup utilities: One of the biggest mistakes people make is forgetting to set up their utilities in their new home or apartment. DON’T FORGET TO TURN ON THE ELECTRICITY! Moving takes a lot out of you, the last thing you want to do, is arrive at your new location with no electricity and no heat/AC; you don’t won’t to spend hours on the phone, trying to get your electricity turned on, when you could be settling into your new home!
- Underestimating just how “stuff” you actually have to move: Before the move make sure you are clear to the moving company about the amount of items you’re moving; in order for this to happen, you should start parking well in advance to your moving day so that you have a better idea of what you’re moving and how much space you will need.
- Packing specific items without special permits: so in order to pack things like firearms and alcohol, you need to sign up for a special moving permit; we are not allowed to move these items without that permit!
- Unprepared for the road: Depending on how far you’re moving, you should prepare a bag with food, drinks, books, and other items to help the trip go by a little faster; you’re likely going to be driving straight to your new home, so you won’t have time to stop! This is especially important if you have young children!
- Not selling or tossing out extra, useless items: We recommend, before the move, to have some sort of yard sale to get rid of extra items that you no longer need or want. Having a yard sale is a great way to make some extra cash! Or you can donate items you won’t be using anymore, i.e. clothes, televisions, old furniture, etc.
