At Out & In Moving, we move people and businesses every day. Our first goal as movers in Blue Springs is to provide our clients with a hassle-free relocation process. With that in mind, we have compiled a list of common mistakes to avoid when moving––especially when moving a long distance.
Don’t Forget to Allow Yourself Plenty of Time to Pack
There are so many things to do before a big move it’s easy to run out of time for packing. Packing takes time. You can’t get it all done the day before you move—schedule time to pack and stick to your schedule.
If you aren’t ready when the truck arrives, it may end up costing you more money. Most moving companies in Blue Springs will be polite and wait for you to finish packing, but you pay for their time.
Don’t Forget to Organize and Label Your Boxes
When you pack boxes, label each one with the room they will go in your new location and list a few of the major contents inside. This will help the moving company in Blue Springs to carry boxes directly to the room where they belong, instead of leaving you to sort it out after they have gone.
Don’t Move Things You Don’t Need
Do you really need to move those Christmas decorations you haven’t put out in years or your faded and broken patio furniture? Is there something in your house you don’t want or need in the new house? Sell or give away anything valuable––and toss the rest. Don’t take unnecessary clutter from one home to the next.
Don’t Pack Heavy Items in Large Boxes
Most movers in Blue Springs have guidelines for the size and weight of boxes they will move. If you overpack a large box with heavy items, they may need to split the contents into multiple boxes. Save time and pack heavy items in smaller boxes and lighter items in larger boxes. When in doubt, consult with your moving company for packing suggestions before the day of the big move.
