Moving Blunders To Avoid
Moving Blunders To Avoid
Many people move at least once in their lifetime. In reality, there are some of those who move several times and yet, they continue to make the same moving blunders over and over again. Professional West Palm Beach movers state that these common moving blunders to avoid with a little planning and organizing.
Selecting the lowest quote
The most common moving blunder to avoid, don’t fall into the ‘lowest quote’ trap too quickly. While a moving company might offer the lowest costs, that doesn’t make it the best option. The low cost might be a compromise for the lack of various essential services or expertise. Be sure to look for your moving company’s accreditation, registration and reputation before making a commitment.
Not labeling everything
When it comes to an organized move, movers agree that labeling absolutely everything is the key to make unpacking easier and bearable. Small accessories, tiny parts of certain equipment and other small things will need to be properly labeled to prevent losing them. There have been many situations where the loss of a single bolt has made a mess with the unpacking schedule and made the whole move needlessly stressful while creating unnecessary costs.
Not measuring the clearance space in your new house
The last thing you want is to spend ages trying to figure out how to get large and bulky pieces of furniture in through the too small openings in your new home. It is very important to take the time to measure your furniture and to make sure that you only take the items that you can immediately take into the house. You can always disassemble large items but it is best to either leave or store anything that won’t fit in through your new home. Failing to make the necessary arrangements will only cause delays and end up increasing your final moving bill.
Not having the bill of lading at hand

Neglecting to assist the movers
While you professional movers will do the heavy lifting, you will still have to give a helpful hand to make their job easier. Small things such as having dismantling instructions ready for certain pieces of furniture or appliances, not cleaning the floors and leaving clutter can cause delays and unexpected price hikes.
