10 Tips for a Smooth & Reliable Move

Are you looking forward to moving to your new apartment or house? Today we will discuss how to move carefully and save your time, energy, money and we will look at some of the major problems and its brilliant solutions.

The journey of relocation is very boring and irritating, as we have to pack all kinds of items that must be packed in boxes and set-up very carefully for transportation while keeping in mind our daily wants and needs.

Let’s dive into some major problems that occur during moving process-

• The new house is half-done- This is one of the biggest bad news for a person who is right in the middle of the moving process when everything has been packed and already transported to the new relocation.

Solution: Make a plan and backups and schedule everything in a proper and convenient way.

Have a conversation with your previous owners of your new house continuously before the deadline of the relocation date to ensure that everything is designed according to your schedule or not.

• Well organised, before relocation: Planning has a very important role in every step of our life. Similarly in relocation, planning is very important as well as energy. Don’t make excuses for example “I don’t have time” or ”I just don’t have any idea“ these reasons show lack of planning and energy.

Solution: So how can you fix this issue? A decent beginning would be to make a schedule or schedule of the different moving tasks and moving dates that are fundamental.

Plan accordingly when the moving company will assist with changing your gear. Discount when you plan to be done with pressing all your stuff.

• Getting Betrayed: Moving Scams are one of the most common scams. The most popular moving scams are those involving requesting a deposit before moving, not checking the household before moving, not taking responsibility for broken equipment, or simply charging too much for packing materials and services charges.

Solution: Find a trustworthy moving company with a strong reputation and positive reviews. Make sure that the moving company inspects the goods thoroughly and estimates weight properly. Stop offering businesses money until they travel, Since standard protocol implies that only upon delivery is payment given.

Provide the movers with as much data as possible so that they have a proper estimation of how much the operation would cost.

• Be safe from injuries and accidents: In any moving process, protection is the number one priority, but accidents can happen occasionally. The most common physical injuries that occur during the moving process, including when skilled movers are involved, are the smashing of a head against the ceiling, stubbing a foot, harmful or sharp objects causing damage or tripping over objects.

Solution: Prevention is better than cure. Try to avoid the incidence of mischief by ensuring that sufficient safety precautions are taken before heavy machinery is transported. In the event of furniture dropping or hitting objects, make sure the movers are aware of their environment and no one is standing nearby.

Getting a basic first aid kit around helps to quickly patch up cuts or tiny bruises in case of an injury or accident.

• Lost items: The possibility of losing items while moving is another common cause for concern. Due to the vibrant schedules of some movers or a lack of organization of boxes when packing, this is particularly simple. It will not be a pleasant experience at all to lose your favorite toy or family relic.

Solution: Hire a trustworthy moving company as you can be sure they will secure your stuff properly. Be very careful to mark your boxes so that where your things are stored can be easily found.

Watch the boxes closely during the moving process. You don’t want any shady neighbors or strangers to rob your stuff while your movers are busy.

• Fragile items: Sometimes in the truck/van, the objects split, other times when moving them into the home, moving helpers break them.

Solution: Wrap your belongings in protective bubble wrap before placing them in moving boxes to shield your items from damage and seal the box properly so that nothing falls out or shifts too much inside.

For large furniture, make sure that the edges are covered and that no heavy objects in the truck/van are placed above delicate objects.

• Do not have sufficient moving material for packaging: This issue occurs when you underestimate the amount of stuff you transfer to your new home, which can manifest in the form of not having enough boxes or wraps to pack your things properly.

Solution: Plan the arrangement of your box well and sort items by category and size. Buy excess bubble wrap and boxes as you need to be on the safe side, so those things are foldable and can easily be stored away.

• Obstacles of time: You may not have enough time to complete the transportation process if you’re in a hurry to pack your belongings and have no time for the other required steps due to hurry and lack of focus.

Solution: Often prepare ahead of time, and arrange your activities before the moving date. You don’t have to spend a whole day packing, you can pack and pack things you don’t use every day depending on their category. This would decrease the workload and make it easier in the long run to pack your belongings.

It is also helpful to first pack the necessary items, so that if there is not enough time, most of the items can still be moved and some items can be moved.

• Drop important documents & items: The protection of significant personal records and objects such as birth certificates, personal financial information, and passports is another element of movement that is sometimes ignored. As these are key to resolving medical, legal and administrative issues in your life, you will do well to keep these safe.

Solution: If you plan to put valuables in the boxes, mark your boxes as specified in order to avoid this issue. Instead of depending on the moving company to do it a better option would be to move these significant documents yourself. This means that, as you should be, you can be entirely responsible for your personal records, but it also means that you will more carefully safeguard your documents.

Be sure to keep them sealed and protected from water or any other possible harm either way.

• Bother by bugs: Rats, cockroaches and other creepy-crawlies could possibly destroy your moving as you would then have to deal with this additional problem before coping with the moving.

Solution: Before purchasing a new home, do your homework and make sure there is no history of bugs infestation in your new building. Otherwise, before you can move in, you will have to smash the nest, which is a troublesome task.

Don’t let your unwelcome animal friends intervene in the process of moving!
