Avoid These Common Packing Mistakes

If you are in the process of moving in Tempe, you have no doubt experienced all kinds of problems that have cropped up. In Chandler, Arizona, especially, moving can be daunting due to our extreme weather conditions. There are plenty of things you can do to avoid these problems, but most of the time, you don’t. In fact, due to popular misconceptions, you probably find yourself more and more stressed as time wears on. So, for your next move, here are a few things you can do in order to make moving quick, painless, and simple for you and your family.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when your move in the 85218 area begins is to just dive right in and start packing with no clear plan. This can easily be detrimental to your moving situation. What you need to do, is create a plan that keeps you organized and on time so that you don’t feel rushed when the moving day approaches. The last thing you need is to lose sleep over wondering if you are ready to move or not. And deadlines must be met when moving, and usually there are no extensions.

Another huge mistake is to leave all of the packing for the day of your move. If you are spending all of your time packing, when are you going to load the truck, relocate, and unload all of your things into your new home? Packing takes a tremendous amount of organization, and you need to allow yourself sufficient time and planning in order to get it all done properly. Waiting till the last second is probably the worst thing you can do when you are getting ready to move.

Sorting your items is also commonly misconstrued as a waste of time before packing. This is completely wrong. If you have your things organized before it goes into the box, then unpacking it in its new home will be much faster and you can be done with your move that much quicker. And all everyone wants to do is to sit and relax after a hard day of relocating your entire house.

Another aspect of moving that people commonly avoid is to buy quality packing supplies. But this is also important because what if you need to put your things in storage, or if you have a lot of heavy items? You will want boxes that keep your things safe from the hot conditions of Chandler, and to also keep things such as bugs and other creatures out of your boxes. So getting quality boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and other materials is substantially important for your next move.

Also important is to pack an essentials box that you can readily access. This will include your basic toiletries, kitchen utensils, clothes, tools and other handy emergency items. Especially if you are going through an interstate move, you will want to pack these things just in case there is a delay with your truck. You will be incredibly grateful when have these items if your moving company in Mesa does not deliver your possessions on time.

Unfortunately, most people believe that time will be saved if they do not hold a yard or garage sale in order to de-clutter and they just fill every box they have with every item in the house. But having a garage sale over the course of a few weekends can really save time on packing, and you can make a few extra bucks by doing so. This also helps you get rid of items that you don’t even need, so why not take a couple of Saturdays to get rid of the junk in your house, and ultimately save money on buying less boxes.

Another thing that can help you is to fill every inch of space within, especially with your breakables. If there isn’t enough room leftover in that box of fine china, add extra padding with soft items from your home, like linens and napkins and other items. This will ultimately use up the extra space in the boxes, and also provide extra protection for the items that are most breakable in your home.

For the sake of your long distance and local moving company in Tempe, it is best to know the regulations they have in regards to moving certain items. You should always ask what they prohibit on their trucks before you start packing everything. Things like pets, flammable items, plants, and perishable foods will usually never be allowed on the truck. You should always pack these items and take them with you rather than giving them to the moving company to transport.

Finally, you should always, always label your boxes. Despite you thinking you know where each box should go and what’s inside, the boxes all look the same. You may believe that you can gauge which room they belong to by its weight and some supernatural abilities, but you can’t. Always mark each box with the room in which they belong and what is inside so you know just where to put it when you get to your new home.

If you follow all of these steps, you will be in great shape for when the moving day finally arrives.
