Moving day is a whirlwind of activity, and despite the best planning, things can sometimes go wrong. At Sunrise Moving and Packing, we’ve seen it all and know how to navigate the common pitfalls of moving day. Here are some of the most frequent moving day mishaps and how our expertise can help you avoid them.
1. Last-Minute Packing Frenzy
The Problem:
You underestimated the amount of stuff you have and are still packing when the movers arrive. This can delay the entire process and add unnecessary stress.
Our Solution:
Our team offers comprehensive packing services. We’ll come to your home before moving day to carefully pack your belongings, ensuring everything is ready to go when the big day arrives.
2. Furniture Doesn’t Fit Through Doors
The Problem:
Large pieces of furniture, like sofas or beds, don’t fit through the doorways or stairwells of your new home.
Our Solution:
Sunrise Moving and Packing professionals are trained to handle oversized items. We measure doorways, hallways, and staircases in advance and, if necessary, disassemble and reassemble furniture to ensure it fits perfectly in your new space.
3. Items Get Damaged During the Move
The Problem:
Delicate and valuable items get damaged during transit, leading to frustration and potential financial loss.
Our Solution:
We use high-quality packing materials and proven techniques to safeguard your possessions. Our team is skilled in packing fragile items like glassware, electronics, and antiques, providing you with peace of mind that your items will arrive safely.
4. Moving Truck is Too Small
The Problem:
The moving truck you rented is too small to fit all your belongings, causing delays and potentially requiring multiple trips.
Our Solution:
With Sunrise Moving and Packing, you won’t have to worry about truck size. We assess the volume of your belongings during our initial consultation and provide a truck that fits everything in one go, saving you time and hassle.
5. Running Out of Time
The Problem:
Unexpected delays, such as traffic or bad weather, can throw off your moving schedule, leading to a rushed and stressful move.
Our Solution:
Our team plans for contingencies and has the experience to adapt to changing circumstances. We build extra time into our schedules and stay in communication with you throughout the day to keep everything on track.
6. Injury During the Move
The Problem:
Lifting heavy items without proper techniques can lead to injuries, turning an exciting day into a painful one.
Our Solution:
Our movers are trained in safe lifting techniques and use equipment designed to handle heavy loads. By letting professionals handle the heavy lifting, you reduce the risk of injury to yourself and your family.
7. Misplacing Essential Items
The Problem:
In the chaos of moving, essential items like medication, important documents, or children’s favorite toys can get misplaced.
Our Solution:
We recommend packing a “first-night” box with all your essentials and keeping it with you. Our team can also help you label boxes clearly, ensuring you can quickly find what you need once you’re in your new home.
8. Pets Getting Stressed
The Problem:
Moving can be stressful for pets, causing them to act out or even run away in the commotion.
Our Solution:
We advise keeping pets in a quiet, secure area during the move, such as a closed room or with a trusted friend. Our movers are considerate of pets and will work efficiently to minimize the disruption to their environment.
