Moving is a tough job, especially when you do not know what you are doing. You need to be prepared and organized so that your move can go smoothly. The following are some of the common moving mistakes that people commit.

1: Not Starting With A Plan/ Strategy

A plan is essential to ensure that your move goes smoothly. You need to have a strategy, and it’s important that you stick with it once you get started.

Here are some steps to follow:

  • Determine what kind of move you want (local vs long distance).
  • Decide how much time will be involved in each phase of the move. This will help make sure that everything gets packed up efficiently and safely so there are no delays along the way.

2: Not Hiring A Reliable Moving Company

As a homeowner, you are likely aware of the importance of hiring a reliable moving company. There are many things to consider when looking for a good mover reputation, experience level and location in relation to your home. But what about the types of companies that aren’t reliable? How can you avoid them?

The first thing to look out for is whether or not they have an actual office address listed on their website. A reputable business will always have a physical location where it can be reached by phone or email so it’s important that this information is clear and easy to find on the company’s homepage.

3: Not knowing The Right Questions To Ask

When you’re moving, it’s important to know the right questions to ask. You’ll want to ask about:

  • The costs associated with your move.
  • The length of time required for your move.
  • How you should pack your belongings for shipment (i.e., what type of boxes or containers are recommended).
  • What insurance coverage is offered by each company and whether or not additional policies will be required during transit (i.e, shipping insurance).
  • In addition, there are several things that can help minimize any potential damage during transportation:

4: Not Organizing Home Stuff Before The Moving Day

Organizing your home before a move is essential to make sure that you have everything you need to get settled in a new place. When it comes to packing, start by making a list of what you will actually be taking with you and what can stay behind. Then pack the essentials first so that they’re ready when needed (e.g., clothes, toiletries).

Once all of this has been done, go through every room of your house and make sure each item has its own box or bag where it belongs this way when someone asks how much space was taken up by this item during the move process, there won’t be any confusion about where something belongs! Finally, label everything clearly so no one gets confused about where certain things belong when unpacking later downstream

5:Not Tagging The Boxes

If you’re not careful, your boxes could end up in the wrong place. Here are a few ways to avoid this mistake:

  • Tagging the boxes is extremely important. It’s not only a way to keep track of what goes where, but it also helps with unpacking later on. If you don’t tag your boxes before moving day, then chances are good that they will be left behind somewhere along the way and forgotten about until you get back home and then there goes any chance of finding them again!
  • Labelling your boxes is another way to make sure everything goes where it should go once they’re loaded into your truck or van (or onto an aeroplane). While labelling isn’t necessary for every item being moved together as one unit (for example if only one person is moving), labels can help ensure both parties know exactly what needs to go into each box so nothing gets lost during transport!

6:Not Changing Your Postal Address

  • If you don’t change your postal address, you could end up missing important mail. Your mail will probably arrive at the old address, but if you need it at a specific time of day or on a specific day, this can be problematic. You may also miss important bills and other documents that are sent to your old home address.
  • The post office will send an official notice to your old home address when they receive it from another company like UPS or FedEx and ask them notifying them notifying their driver if there’s been a change in residence (and therefore where they should pick it up).

7: Not Using A Proper Material For The Packing

  • Use good quality packing material.
  • Use packing tape.
  • Use bubble wrap and/or plastic wrap to line the box, if you are moving fragile items like glassware or vases.
  • Consider using moving blankets for breakables such as china, crystal, or glassware if you want to keep the item nice and protected during transit (but do check with your local laws first!).
  • Also, consider using moving cartons instead of cardboard boxes when possible; they’re much lighter than traditional cardboard boxes but still strong enough to hold up against any bumps or bruises while being transported!

8: Not Confirming Insurance Property

If you’re moving to a new home, it’s important to make sure that your belongings are covered by insurance. If something happens during the move and your belongings are damaged or destroyed, it’s likely that your insurance will cover some of those costs. However, there are also some things that may not be covered by your homeowner’s policy:

  • Moving services (like movers)
  • Items such as furniture and appliances that were damaged during transport but weren’t owned by the renter at the time of the incident (such as a table knocked over while moving out)
