Packing and moving across the country can be intimidating, especially if you have a lot to do between now and moving day. Unfortunately, simple mistakes can disrupt your timeline and peace of mind during the move, which is why it’s essential to make sure you have everything taken care of. Here are three mistakes to avoid when moving interstate. 

Avoid These Mistakes When Moving

1. Putting Off Donating & Organizing

It can be easy to procrastinate when packing and moving, but the earlier you start, the better. By starting sooner, you can go through your things, donate items you don’t want or need, organize boxes, and pack things that won’t need to be accessible until after your move. When packing, label boxes carefully so you know what is in each one. 

2. Packing On Your Own

While it can be tempting to save money and move everything on your own, many homeowners underestimate the amount of time and money it will cost to relocate. It can be incredibly difficult, time-consuming, and costly since you’ll need to buy the moving supplies. Instead, enlist the help of a friend or professional moving service to speed up the job and simplify your move.

3. Forgetting About Moving Insurance 

To prevent financial losses from possessions being broken or misplaced during packing and moving, opt for full value moving insurance. Many moving companies offer released value moving insurance, but it only covers a percentage of the loss. On the other hand, full value moving insurance covers the entire replacement price of your lost or damaged item.
