Moving day can bring its fair share of troubles. Luckily, it’s all been done before, so we can plan for any issues that arise. Planning will solve half of your issues when moving, after all. Here’s what to do if one of these common moving issues arise when you’re moving.
Too much stuff
Whether you’re downsizing or just want to get rid of items that aren’t useful anymore, it’s important to only keep whatever is actually needed. One great way to remove things is to donate what you don’t need or have outgrown. However, if you haven’t gone through this process in time, you may consider temporarily renting a storage unit. Instead of rushing to go through your things on moving day, give yourself a little more time by placing these things in storage.
Waited too long to pack
Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. Instead of haphazardly packing everything without any kind of organization, pay a professional to help you. Organizing household items and packing them away neatly and safely is their job. Check out reviews for local movers online, or hire a contractor on a site like TaskRabbit. No matter where you get help, you’ll be happy to not go through the process alone!
The new home isn’t quite ready
Of all moving troubles, this is one we hope never happens. Still sometimes issues arise that cannot be avoided. Maybe the previous tenant didn’t move out in time, or maybe the property owner is still renovating last minute. Whatever the case, you probably have truckloads of items that need to be emptied, and you don’t have a permanent home yet. If you must empty the moving trucks, the clearest solution is putting your items in a storage unit. Choose a storage unit that’s eco-friendly, has after-hours access, and has affordable insurance.
