Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving to Asheville

Published: October 01, 2022

It’s common to spend hours upon hours packing, loading, and moving your belongings. It’s especially difficult when you have to carry everything yourself. Despite taking all possible measures, something essential is always lost on the day of the move.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Asheville has some helpful moving tips to help you avoid making errors while packing for your big move.

1. You don’t get rid of things

When you’re moving, it’s even more crucial to declutter your things since the less you have to carry, the better. Packing everything up without thinking about what you require and don’t may be easy, but getting rid of stuff might be tough.

2. Moving all of your furniture without wrapping it first

Not only do you have to cover your large furniture items in moving plastic, but you should also use special blankets designed for moves to keep them protected while they’re being transported.

3. Forcing large items through small doorways 

Take the time to measure both your furniture and doorways if you want to avoid any harm (and pricey repairs). You’ll know precisely what will fit before attempting to relocate anything substantial, like a couch, this way.

4. Not giving yourself enough time to pack

Many people underestimate how time-consuming and stressful moving can be. To make the process smoother, start packing sooner rather than later, and look out for possible problems that could come up along the way.

5. Not asking for help when you need it

Some people are unable to lift heavy objects, so it’s not always a good idea to rely on friends and family for help. If you need assistance with larger items, be sure to ask and be prepared to pay for moving services if necessary.
