Moving to a new home may be exciting, but one thing to remember is that an operation

this big will cause a problem or two. When moving to a new house, one must make sure

everything goes without a hitch.

Here are the most common problems that must be anticipated and prepared for:

Expensive packing cost

Most movers hire packing services without consulting the contractor what constitutes the

services. Often, packing irregularly shaped, massive equipment is the only time a mover

would need packing services. Unless one is packing the whole content of a museum, one

should personally do the packing, especially the non-fragile stuff, which do not need

special blankets or wrapping devices.

Physical and furniture damage

Damages on the furniture may

occur during the transporting or from

the setting. Professional movers are

careful in assessing whether the

furniture needs to be carried through

equipment or can be handled by

multiple people. For sophisticated

systems, a personal computer or an

electronic gas range for example, it is

important to assign a point person who

will manage the complete process of

dismantling, packing, unpacking, and

reconstructing.

Losing valuables

In the case of missing valuables, it

is imperative that the movers involved

are all dependable. Accountability and

trustworthiness is a big issue among

relocating companies. This should also

apply to the helping parties. If this is not

about stolen valuables, it is mostly due

to poor organization. Not labeling and

lack of preparation prior to the moving

day may cause some valuables to be left

behind.

Disorganized packing

The first days of settling in the new location can pose problems from lack of

organization, that is, the mover should have all the necessary things within reach. All the

toiletries, beddings, and meal utensils should be packed in one box labeled For

Immediate Use. This will avoid opening all boxes just to pull out a towel.

These are just some of the potential problems every moving families, individuals,

and companies may encounter. Proper planning helps avoid these unnecessary

complications.
