Leaving Packing Until the Last Minute

Procrastination is the #1 stress factor. Start packing non-essentials weeks in advance and label everything clearly.

Hiring Movers Without Research

Not all movers are created equal. Always check reviews, ask for proof of insurance, and make sure your quote is clear and detailed.

Forgetting to Measure Furniture

It’s frustrating to haul a couch across town only to find it won’t fit through the new doorway. Measure both your furniture and your new space ahead of time.

Not Protecting Valuables

Fragile or high-value items need extra care. Use proper padding, boxes, or even ask about full-value protection insurance for peace of mind.

Ignoring the “Move-In Essentials” Bag

Many people forget to set aside a small bag with essentials—like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This saves you from rummaging through boxes after a long day.
