There are quite a few moving box mistakes that people make that cost them time and money when moving. If you use cheap plastic bags instead of boxes, most moving companies won’t even move your things because those bags can cause them to be liable for your items if the bags break. Some people forget to secure their boxes on all sides or put too many items in the box which can cause the items to fall out and become damaged. Finally, people tend to forget to pack everything ahead of time and are left scrambling last minute.
Key Takeaways:
- Not packing everything early will cause you stress as you may forget things at your old home and it will also take extra time.
- A common mistake is using garbage bags instead of boxes but if you use a garbage bag, most moving companies won’t move your stuff because it’s too big a liability.
- Make sure you don’t make boxes too heavy because this can cause your items to fall out the bottom and get damaged.
“This can backfire, though, when cheap or free boxes prove difficult to move efficiently, come apart, or end up being full of grime and parasites.”
