Even the most organized person can make mistakes when moving. At Alpharetta Mover, we’ve seen it all—and we know how to help you avoid the most common moving missteps.
1. Underestimating Time and Effort
Many people think they can pack up their home in a weekend. In reality, packing takes longer than expected. Start early and pack a little each day to avoid last-minute stress.
2. Not Labeling Boxes Properly
Failing to label boxes can turn unpacking into a nightmare. Use clear labels with the room name and contents on each box.
3. Forgetting to Set Up Utilities
You don’t want to move into a new place with no electricity or internet. Call your utility providers at least 2 weeks in advance to schedule transfers.
4. Packing Heavy Items in Large Boxes
Big boxes packed with books or tools can be impossible to lift—and may break. Use small boxes for heavy items and save large boxes for lighter things like bedding or clothes.
5. Not Hiring Professional Help
DIY moves often lead to broken items, strained backs, and delays. Trust experienced movers like Alpharetta Mover to handle it professionally, safely, and on time.
