Packing Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Homes

 Packing Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Homes

Packing is one of the most important parts of shifting your house. Done right, it saves time, money, and stress. Done wrong, it can lead to broken items and chaos. At Moving Mart Packers and Movers, we’ve seen what works — and what doesn’t. Here are the top packing mistakes you should avoid during your move.

⸻

1. Starting Too Late

Many people wait until the last 2–3 days to begin packing. This leads to panic and poor organization. Start at least a week before your move, one room at a time.

⸻

2. Using Weak Boxes

Old or cheap boxes can collapse under weight. Always use strong, high-quality boxes — especially for heavy items and glassware.

⸻

3. Not Labelling Boxes

Skipping labels makes unpacking a nightmare. Clearly mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs to (e.g., “Kitchen - Plates”, “Bedroom - Clothes”).

⸻

4. Packing Everything Together

Don’t pack fragile and heavy items together. It increases the chance of breakage. Wrap glassware separately and cushion with soft materials.

⸻

5. Ignoring Essentials

Keep daily use items like medicines, phone chargers, basic utensils, and clothes aside in a small suitcase or box. Don’t pack them in the moving truck.

⸻

6. Forgetting to Seal Liquids Properly

Leaky bottles of oil, shampoo, or cleaning supplies can ruin your boxes. Seal caps tightly or carry them separately in plastic bags.

⸻

7. Not Hiring Professionals

DIY packing might look easy, but often leads to damage and delays. Hiring Moving Mart Packers and Movers ensures expert handling, better materials, and peace of mind.
