Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving to Los Angeles

Published: October 01, 2022

Spending several hours packing, loading, and transporting your belongings is not unusual. When you have to carry everything yourself, it’s particularly tough. On the day of the move, something crucial is always lost despite doing everything possible.

UNITS Moving and Portable Storage of Los Angeles 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

It’s crucial to declutter your belongings when you move because the less stuff you have to carry, the better. Packing up everything without thinking about what you need and don’t need may be easy, but getting rid of things might be tough.

2. Moving all of your furniture without wrapping it first

You must not only cover your significant furnishings in moving plastic, but you should also utilize specialized blankets intended for relocation to ensure that they are kept safe while they’re being carried.

3. Forcing large items through small doorways 

If you want to guarantee that nothing gets damaged (and expensive repairs), take the time to measure both your furniture and doorways. Before attempting to move anything big, like a couch, this way, you’ll know precisely what will fit.

4. Not giving yourself enough time to pack

Many individuals underestimate how time-consuming and worrisome relocation can be. Start packing sooner rather than later, and keep an eye out for any issues that may arise along the road.

5. Not asking for help when you need it

Some people can’t lift heavy objects, so don’t rely on friends and family for help unless you’re confident they can. If you need assistance with larger items, be sure to ask in advance and budget for moving services if necessary.
