Major Self-Moving Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

When you intend to shift your home/office space from one place to another or even set up a new home, there are multiple things to take care of. From figuring out what to bring to your new site to reaching for the confidential documents to listing down the new goods that you have to buy – this list is endless! With so much tension in mind, there are inevitable self moving mistakes that you can make.

What are those? And how to correct them? We’ll give you the list right here! We at PAM Packers and Movers have been associated with this domain for a long time and hence know precisely the problems that one faces. Let’s outline the same for you –

What are the major self moving mistakes while shifting?

When you are doing all the things by yourself, here are the most common mistakes that you can make –

1. Not having a proper plan in hand

The mother of all self moving mistakes is not having a plan! The date for the shifting is set. However, you just cannot streamline the packing dates or set up the chart to follow during packing (how to pack, what to pack, what materials to use, and other things). When you don’t have a proper fallback plan, there’s no way that you can carry out this process categorically.

2. Have you decluttered the goods?

Another of the top self moving mistakes that you/anyone for that matter can make is – not clearing the clutter. When shifting homes especially, people think that they can/need to take everything along. But that is incorrect. Some goods have served their time, and you need to leave them behind.

This is where the services of professional packers-movers come to the forefront. We start our shifting plan by decluttering your goods and segregating them. Once that is done, then we move ahead to categorize them and pack them accordingly.

3. Not taking into concern electrical and heavy goods

How often do the residents consider the issues of moving heavy goods and electronic gadgets? Hardly any! The key reason is that they are unaware of the ‘special and specific’ care these products need. If not handled carefully, this could result in permanent damage, adding to the transportation cost.

We at PAM Packers and Movers ensure that these heavy electronic goods, especially, are packed by our trained workers. Also, they are delivered while taking all the regulations into consideration to ensure that there is no delivery glitch.

4. The problem of choosing the packages

Boxes of the same size/type are not good enough for every item! Utensils require a different set of boxes than clothes. Also, you must pack priceless items stuffed with cotton or other packaging material to protect them. Additionally, the correct way to tape a box is different from item to item. But how many times do you follow it? Very little to almost nil. As a result – most things break or get displaced by the time you are done shifting.

You can connect with us at PAM Packers and Movers to avoid another of these self moving mistakes. We have specialized boxes for every product, and our team knows how to pack different items correctly. Hence, with us, assuredly, you will have no issues.

5. Forgetting to pack an emergency kit

Not many people realize but – when you are moving homes especially, you must prepare an emergency kit and set it aside. This must include –

  • Basic ration/snacks/toiletries/change of clothes/medicines
  • A separate section only for the kids – carrying their essentials
  • Important electronic items like – laptop, charger, power bank
  • Important documents, loose cash, and jewelry

It may happen that you may not find what you want at the right moment. Hence, for emergency purposes, you must keep a bag aside. If you avoid this mistake, you will save yourself much trouble.

6. Not getting the correct transport

The last of the self moving mistakes that you mostly make is – not getting the correct transport system. Do you think that the car/jeep you own, or maybe borrowing two extra cars, would help? However, that is far from the truth. A single truck is not enough for heavy electronic goods or hefty items like almirahs, antiques, and beds. You need big trucks that too well-locked so that there is no chance of any breakage while transporting.

When you connect with us at PAM Packers and Movers, we have specialized GPS-enabled trucks that transport the goods from your current to your desired location.

If you avoid these mistakes that are mentioned above and seek professional help, assuredly, this process will be less bothersome.
