Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving to Las Vegas

Published: November 01, 2022

Packing, loading, and unloading all of your things takes hours, even when you have help from others. And no matter how carefully you try to keep track of everything, important items always manage to get lost on moving day.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Las Vegas 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

It’s crucial to declutter your belongings when you move because the less stuff you have, the better. It may be easy to pack everything up without thinking about what you need and don’t need, but getting rid of things can be tough.

2. Moving all of your furniture without wrapping it first

Not only should you wrap your major pieces of furniture in moving plastic, but you should also use blankets designed for relocation to protect them while they’re being transported.

3. Forcing large items through small doorways 

To save any furniture from costly damages, take a few moments to measure both your doorways and pieces. This way, you’ll know exactly what will fit before trying to move anything big, like a couch.

4. Not giving yourself enough time to pack

Because people don’t realize how much time and effort moving takes, they often start packing too late and get overwhelmed by problems. To avoid this stressful experience, begin packing as early as possible so you can deal with any potential issues that come up.

5. Not asking for help when you need it

If you cannot lift large items, ensure that the people you ask for help can before relying on them. If you need assistance with bigger belongings, make sure to ask well ahead of time and set money aside if you need to hire professional movers.
