It is of no surprise why many people fill their thoughts with disdain and stress when it comes to relocating. There will be heavy lifting involved, and not to mention the planning on how to fit all the procedures associated with moving into our hectic schedules. Hence, many people give up on the thought that we cannot completely eliminate stress (or even back pain) on moving day. However, we should also take into consideration that if we accumulate stress and worry, we are more prone to exhibiting mistakes.
GOLAN'S MOVING TIPS - WATCH OUT FOR THESE MISTAKES
The first step to eliminating the chances of having mistakes on, or before moving day is to learn about them. Here are some of the more common, yet costly errors that could happen.
#1 - Hiring a fly-by-night moving company.
The biggest mistake is to trust any moving company that offers the "best" price in the market but could not show any form of certification or credential. So how can you tell the shady ones from the legit? That's easy - ask questions. Request to see certifications of their business to see that they can legitimately help you with your moving needs. Also, ask them how long have they been in the industry.
If you need legit help then you can't be more legit than Golan's Moving & Storage as they already have thousands of customers who keep coming back to them. Furthermore, they have been in the moving industry for more than 2 decades.
#2 - Forgetting to transfer information.
If you're only moving across town, make sure that you go to your local utility companies to inform them about the upcoming move. It is really a bad experience to behold when you're already in your new home and then you just remembered to transfer the information regarding your new address. So, you have to live in your new house without electricity or running tap water for the next few days.
#3 - Cramming.
Enough said - cramming is by far one of the worst mistakes anybody can do. Procrastinating when moving day is just around the corner entitles you to accumulate more stress as the day draws closer. Remember, the more stress means more anxiety, which can also mean that chaos can ensue. You may even find yourself chucking items inside boxes instead of arranging your thing properly.
#4 - Not categorizing boxes.
Even if you do properly arrange the items inside boxes, it can be a pain when it comes to unpacking if you don't categorize the containers. Hence, use colored labels or tape on the boxes to let you know what box goes to what room.
