5 Common Moving Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
Our Services: https://perpetuummoving.com/our-services/
Moving to a new home or office can be exciting—but it also comes with its fair share of challenges.
At Perpetuum Moving, we’ve helped hundreds of clients navigate smooth, stress-free transitions. Today, we’re sharing five common moving mistakes we see far too often—and how you can avoid them.
1. Underestimating the Time It Takes
Packing always takes longer than people think.
Waiting until the last minute leads to rushed packing, forgotten items, and disorganization.
Tip: Start early—at least 2–3 weeks ahead—and tackle a few boxes a day to stay on track.
2. Skipping the Decluttering Phase
Why pay to move things you don’t even want?
Use your move as an opportunity to downsize.
Tip: Sell, donate, or toss items you no longer use. Not only will you save time and space, but your new place will feel fresher and more organized.
3. Not Labeling Boxes Clearly
A box that says “Kitchen” helps, but a box that says “Kitchen – Pots & Pans” is even better.
Specific labels save you time and headaches when unpacking.
Tip: Label each box with the room and a brief description of its contents.
4. Forgetting to Update Your Address
Don’t let mail or important bills get lost in the shuffle.
Tip: Update your address with USPS, banks, subscriptions, and any essential services before your move date to avoid disruptions.
5. Trying to DIY a Job That Needs Pros
Some moves are best left to the experts—especially if you’re dealing with heavy furniture, narrow stairways, or tight timelines.
Tip: Hiring a professional moving company like Perpetuum Moving ensures your belongings are handled safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind.
