What difficulties can we encounter during a move? The 7 errors not to me made!

A move requires a certain preparation so that it takes place without any hassle. But this is a situation often conducive to stress which generates, therefore, certain errors. What are they?

1. Improvised mover

Organizing a move without help or expertise will make you waste time and will expose you to the risk of injury.

2. Last minute mover

A lack of planning increases the difficulties and risks of errors.

3. Using used boxes

Cardboard does not have an eternal lifespan. Where you think you are saving, on the contrary, you risk paying for it later! A worn box risks breaking during transport, irreparably damaging the stored personal effects inside. It is, therefore, wise to use adapted packaging materials for moving to guarantee risk-free transport.

4. Not taking an inventory

No, establishing an inventory is not a waste of time. On the contrary, not doing it, you risk creating problems for the second phase of the move. Before unpacking the boxes at your new address, you should know where everything is and the destination of these objects.

5. Not sorting

A move turns out to be a great time to sort among the neglected objects. Getting rid of oldies is already an important step in organizing a move.

6. Forget to defrost your freezer and drain your washing machine

If you have a refrigerator or freezer, don’t forget to defrost it 48 hours before transport. Also, don’t forget to drain your washing machine.

7. Not calling on a professional moving company

Each of these errors can be avoided by calling on a professional moving company.

The choice of a professional moving company: favour the value for money and the experience

One could imagine that using a moving company is a bad financial calculation. However, the unforeseen events and the errors, due to the lack of experience, can be seen in the improvised mover.

Damage to objects or poor estimate of the volume to be transported with additional trips back and forth increases the bill. When considering your move, it is important to take your time to think about the options and assess the value for money offered by various specialized companies. By calling on moving professionals, you can count on their experience but also on a series of related services.
