Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving to Louisville

Published: September 01, 2022

Moving is always a pain, and it’s even harder when you have to transport all your belongings yourself. Something essential always goes missing on the day of the move, despite taking every precaution possible.

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

1. You don’t get rid of things

Decluttering your belongings is especially important when you’re moving since the fewer things you have to carry, the better. Packing everything up without considering what you need and don’t may be simple, but getting rid of items might be more difficult.

2. Moving all of your furniture without wrapping it first

It’s more difficult to transport big things, such as sofas and bookcases than smaller items. Not only do you need to cover your vital belongings in moving plastic, but you should also utilize blankets designed for relocations to keep them safe during transit.

3. Forcing large items through small doorways 

If you want to avoid any damage (and costly repairs), take the time to measure both your furniture and doorways. This way, you’ll know exactly what will fit and what won’t before attempting to move anything large, like a couch.

4. Not giving yourself enough time to pack

Moving is a time-consuming operation that many individuals are not prepared for. To minimize stress throughout this busy period, start packing as soon as feasible and keep an eye out for potential roadblocks along the route.

5. Not asking for help when you need it

The bottom line is that not everyone has the physical strength to handle big things, which is why enlisting the help of friends and family isn’t always a good idea. It’s also important to ask for assistance with the bigger, heavier items and be ready to pay for a moving service if required.
