Many people who just bought their dream houses are always excited about the move but not the actual process itself. This is because moving can be quite tedious and stressful and one has to take precautionary actions to ensure that it is a success. Problems always seem to appear at various stages of the process but there are some key moving nightmares that play out in the following ways:
Dishonest Movers
Lots of people have sighted problems with either rogue or incompetent movers. Some movers arrive late and end up wasting time and causing stress while others do not even show up at all leading to disorientation of one’s moving schedule. In some instances, you might encounter careless or inexperienced movers who can damage your property.
In some extreme scenarios, you may fall victim to scammers posing as movers. They will charge high rates for alleged extra services and even hold on to your belongings as ransom for additional payment. The thieves steal the expensive items and discard the rest that they consider trash.
To ensure that you do not fall victim to such movers, research the movers you decide to hire and confirm that they are licensed professionals. Additionally, you could consider getting insurance for your items just in case of theft, especially the really expensive items.
Poor Organization
The moving process entails lots of small parts that have to be synchronous to ensure that the process is successful. At times there could packing chaos whereby the movers arrived before you finished packing or you could have packed more items than previously discussed. Such events can result in significant loss of money and time.
Other times, the furniture could be too large to fit into the moving vehicle thus delaying the moving process. If this happens you could be forced to leave some things behind or use hoisting services that will cost you extra.
Additionally, booking moving services at a late stage, requiring many additional services, not sorting you items and failing to create a practical moving budget leads to overspending on the moving process. You also need to ensure that your paperwork is in order so as to allow you to have water and electricity in your new home come move-in day and ensure your mail is delivered to your new address on time. It is paramount that you ensure that you stay clear of any injuries during moving as this would greatly slow down the process.
To ensure that you avoid all these challenges, make sure that you carefully plan out each and every stage of the moving process with great detail. Moreover, always stay one step ahead of the moving process.
