Common Moving Blunders To Avoid To Make Your Move Successful
Moving can be a difficult time in everyone's life. Making sure to go about it in all the right ways can help it to go more smoothly and hopefully create a little less stress for the mover. Knowing some common moving blunders will help movers to avoid any major mistakes in the moving process.
The biggest mistake that most people make during a move is handling the estimate wrong. Always be sure to get a binding estimate. Many companies can easily give general estimates, but there are several conditions which could cause the price to vary. Customers should never fall victim to one of these common moving blunders by getting a binding estimate over the phone. A company cannot possibly give a binding estimate without personally assessing all of the customer's belongings.
Always find out which fees are included and which are extra. Companies which do not include many fees in their binding estimate may tack on a lot of additional hidden fees, causing them to be expensive in the long run. Another common moving blunder is only getting one estimate. Get quotes from several different companies to make sure you are settling for the best price. MovingIdeas.org is happy to help you get several moving quotes by just filling out the simple form on this page.
Improper packing can be a detrimental common moving blunder. When packing, the heaviest items should always go in the small boxes, making it easier to lift several different heavy items. The most valuable items to be moved should always be transported personally. Leaving sentimental possessions to the movers allows more room for error with those special personal effects.
One of the dumbest common moving blunders is treating the movers poorly. Always treat the people from the moving company with respect. After all, they are moving all of your important possessions and angering them can likely turn out badly for the person moving, their belongings, and the well being of their new home.
Though moving can sometimes go very wrong, there are several ways to make sure that it goes right. Avoiding some common moving blunders can help those with a big move ahead of them to have a hassle-free move. These mistakes may be common, but they do not have to be repeated.
