Even with the help of friends, family, and movers alike, packing and loading up all your belongings can take hours. And yet, even when you’ve carefully tracked them throughout the process, on moving day, certain valuables still have a tendency to vanish into thin air!

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Bucks and Mercer County has some helpful moving tips to help you avoid making errors while packing for your big move.

1. You Don’t Get Rid of Things

Moving is your chance to trim away the excess and streamline your life. It’s easy to be pulled in by the temptation of taking all you own with you, but it’ll benefit you more if you think carefully about what goods are vital for this next chapter before boxing them up. Releasing some items may feel hard initially, yet also liberating too!

2. Moving All of Your Furniture Without Wrapping It First

In addition to using furniture plastic wrap, you should also use blankets designed for relocation to protect your belongings while in transit.

3. Forcing Large Items Through Small Doorways 

To keep your furniture free of damage, spend a few minutes determining the size and shape of both your doorways and pieces. It’s critical to know what can fit in each doorway prior to trying to move any significant items into your residence, like sofas or armchairs. By doing this, you will guarantee that moving them runs smoothly!

4. Not Giving Yourself Enough Time to Pack

Moving often takes a lot longer than expected, so avoid leaving your packing until the last minute. To ensure you don’t become overwhelmed, start the relocation process ahead of time and quickly resolve any issues that come up. Proactive preparation is key. It’s better to be ready for this crucial task than regret not taking action!

5. Not Asking for Help When You Need It

Despite what people may tell you, don’t rely on them to help if they are unable to lift heavy items. To avoid any confusion and make the moving more efficient, let those who offer their assistance know in advance that there will be bigger objects you need to move. If necessary, have a contingency plan ready by setting aside money for professional movers just in case.
