Improper care of fraglie items
Unfortunately, fragile items tend to be among the most valuable. This means that if something happens to them during your move, it could cost you a significant amount of money. Moving home is already something that can be very costly, you don't want to also have the cost of replacing something that broke due to carelessness. In order to avoid such an outcome, you will need to ensure that any and all fragile items are adequately protected before they are transported. It isn't a particularly difficult task, but it could save you a lot of hassle and money.
Not having a checklist
There are so many things that you need to remember when you are moving home, it is easy to forget one or two things. The problem is, most of the things that you need to do during the moving process are very important, and forgetting to do them can cause a lot of issues down the line. Consider for example, if you were to get to the day of your move, only to realise that you have forgotten to label half of your boxes. Although this isn't a big task, when you have a lot of other things that need doing, it can be very stressful. This particular example is a fairly easy one to deal with as well. In order to prevent this sort of thing from happening, the most reliable way is to use a checklist.
Being careless around walls
It is very easy to damage your walls, especially when moving furniture around. Because of its size, it is not uncommon for furniture to brush up against, or even bump into walls if you are not paying close attention. Depending on the part of the furniture, the furniture itself, and the nature of the contact, this can result in damage anywhere from a scuff mark to a small hole. Regardless of the degree of the damage, having to address damage done to a wall when you already have so much to do can be a huge pain. Because of this, it is of the utmost importance that you are very careful around walls when carrying furniture.
Not utilising a moving company
Organising a moving company is one of the most important parts of your home move. There are so many parts of your move that are significantly improved by the presence of a good moving company. Not only will you save a lot of time and effort in the moving process, they are also able to prevent some of the mistakes you may make. As professionals, they are far less likely to cause damage when moving furniture. They are also a lot less likely to be injured in the moving process from something such as poor technique. Overall, failure to organise a moving company can make your home move significantly more difficult.
