Moving is one of the most worrying tasks but it is predictable that at one point or another in our lives, we will need to move. A lot of mistakes are commonly being made during the packing procedure. In order to minimize any mistakes, it is important to plan out what to do and stick to it strictly. Let's look at some common packing mistakes made by many.
Un elaborated planning
The planning procedure should be a slow one and you should not run it through. Always try to run through every single step or you can also start from one room and move to another. Do not miss out things and always try to write down in detail what exactly is to be done. This way, anyone who reads your plan can also fully recognize it.
Packing late
Most people only plan to stop their packing on the day of the move itself. This is a huge mistake as last minute changes can create havoc with your plans and lead to even more problems. You will not be able to calm down when faced with anxiety from the movers. As a result, you will tend to forget many things and you may even break your things. Always try to have a buffer of 2 days at least so that you are able to make several confirmations that everything has been done.
Wrong packing equipment
Packing materials play an extremely main role in a moving process. Since most of them are only going to be used once, most people try not to spend too much money on it. Instead, they will try to dump as many things as they can into a box and pray for the best. Good quality packing materials should be used in order to make sure a smooth and safe moving process. You should always separate delicate items from one another and wrap fragile ones individually to protect against any bumps or knocks. Moving boxes should be strong and sturdy and protected properly so that items will not fall out during the transportation process.

Improper labeling
Labeling of the moving boxes is another slip that most people make. Items should be stored according to their type. Clothes should all be placed in a box and shoes in another. Do not combine them up or else you will have difficulties unpacking. Labeling should be clear and concise and if items are fragile, you should place a fragile sticker to allow people to know.
Many mistakes made during the moving process can be easily avoided. However, due to inexperience or in a state of fright, most people make silly mistakes which can cause their items to be broken.
