When you are trying to move from one place to the next it can be difficult. Moving takes a lot of time and effort and you want to make sure that you are not making it harder along the way. Nothing is worse than showing up at your new house only to realize that you have made a mistake or that you missed something. There are some tips that you can use to try and prevent any major mistakes or disasters when you are trying to move. Good Time Moving & Storage offers some helpful advice to prevent major disasters when you are moving to a new place.

What to Not Pack when Moving

One of the mistakes that people make when they are moving is that they go room to room and pack up the whole space. This can be a problem if you are not careful. There are items that you want to make sure that you stay clear of packing if you are moving. If you pack things such as food, perishables, paints and chemical they can lead to a real disaster. These are all things that can be a problem if they are packed for many reasons. One is if you pack up left over paint and it happens to come loose and spill it can cause damage to your other belongings. If you pack food in a truck that is moving long distance they can spoil causing bacteria to grow as well as mold. You also want to avoid chemicals and cleaners that can leak and drip over your furniture, clothes or other materials.

Package Delicate Items Carefully

It can be difficult when you are packing your house up to hurry and just move quickly. The problem is that when you move too quick you can end up with items that should have been secured better and now they are broken. You want to make sure that you use packing materials and take some time to ensure that you use plenty. You want to load all the excess areas of the box where you have fragile or things that can be broken. This will help as the truck moves a far distance along roads that are bumpy and uneven.

Be at New Place when Movers Arrive

When you hire a moving company they will give you a schedule. This is when they will arrive at your home to do the packing and loading and what amount of time they estimate they will need. Then the truck will pull off and start to head to the new location. When there is a trucking company that is moving your belongings to your new house over a long distance, they have rules they have to live by. They have to stop and rest at particular times and that means they will give you a window of time that your items will be delivered. You want to make sure that you give plenty of time to meet the truck when it arrives so that you can start the unloading process.
