Here are the most common moving day disasters and how to avoid them
The movers do not show up because you forgot to hire them soon enough
The first rookie mistake families make is trying to hire a local moving company at the last minute. And all of that because they procrastinated. This is a classic moving mistake, because you have so much to do that you have to put it off for something. You should plan ahead for at least one month, if not more. Especially when it comes to hiring your professional moving team. This is a team that is going to protect your items while moving, make sure everything moves efficiently on the day of the move. And make sure that you are covered in things such as where the truck will be parked to unload your belongings and how you will move these home plants without killing them.
You pay for your move much more than you expected
Like airline tickets, moving companies often charge more, the closer you book to a moving day. They know that people become more desperate as the date approaches. To avoid paying more than you need, book your moving company as soon as possible. Compare prices with local and national services and ask for any discounts - such as AAA, veteran status and more. Some of them may be available only by phone, so always remember to call to confirm. Another way to overpay is to hire a truck, which is much more than necessary. Ask the company to send a representative and make an accurate assessment of what you need. You do not need to pay for a place that you do not use.Broken items because of not packing or labeling boxes correctly
The next mistake to avoid is improper packaging and not labeling well. Have you packed a large box with an entire library of books that hurt someone's back? Or did you try to pack debris with other items casually into a box that will beat in a moving truck and collapse? Did you have old boxes that are in poor condition? And try to pack lampshades and dinner plates that need extra support? It is important to pack correctly with heavy objects in small boxes for convenient transport. And strong boxes for your malleable objects. And pack everything in good quality boxes that are not going to break. Then, marking items with content and the room in which they enter, and not just the word "fragile". That ensures that you can find what you need when you come to a new home. You do not want to arrive at your destination and do not know where to find a first aid kit, dog food or bath towels.Cracked walls from attempting to move heavy furniture yourself
Hiring a professional moving company Texas will help you avoid beating the house you just sold. Or the house you just bought. These things happen when you are moving furniture and other bulky items yourself. These heavy couches and furniture can easily crack walls and corners. But your moving company will have proper supplies to make sure everything is well protected from floors to walls and stairs.
