Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving to Cincinnati

Published: December 01, 2022

Even with assistance, it can take hours to pack and load all of your belongings. Unfortunately, it’s typical for even the most essential items to go missing on moving day despite your best efforts.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Cincinnati 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 move, it’s key to get rid of the clutter in your life by getting rid of material belongings you don’t need. We tend to pack everything up when we move without considering what we will and won’t use in our new place, but sometimes it’s hard to let go of things.

2. Moving all of your furniture without wrapping it first

In addition to using furniture plastic wrap, you should also use blankets designed for relocation to protect your belongings while in transit.

3. Forcing large items through small doorways 

To avoid any potential furniture damage, take a couple of minutes to measure both your doorways and pieces. By doing this, you’ll know precisely what will fit before trying to move any large items, like a couch.

4. Not giving yourself enough time to pack

Many people don’t realize how time-consuming and difficult moving can be, so they start packing too late and end up feeling overwhelmed. To avoid this stressful experience, begin packing as early as possible so you can address any potential issues that come up.

5. Not asking for help when you need it

People may say that they are strong and capable of helping you move, but if they cannot lift heavy items, then do not rely on them. If you require assistance with large objects, tell the person well in advance so that there is no confusion, and set money aside just in case you need to hire professional movers.
