It is more likely than not, accurate to say that no move in history has ever gone as planned. Moving can be an extremely stressful exercise, and the team at AOA Moving Services completely understands this. Therefore, we put together a list of things that may not necessarily go as planned on move day. We also put together some solutions to help you be better prepared for your move, whether local or long distance, residential or commercial. Let’s get right to it.
Things That Could Go Wrong on Move Day
In any situation, there is always room for something to go pear-shaped. Let’s take a look at some things that could go wrong on move day:
- Bad Weather. We all know we can’t always trust the weather predictions. On move day it can end up pouring with rain or snow! This could be a disaster if you are moving on your own.
- Vehicle breakdown. You could have a vehicle breakdown, which will stop you in your tracks and you may battle to find someone to assist you at such short notice.
- Buddies don’t pitch. When moving on your own, oftentimes buddies offer up their services, but when move day comes they’re either tired from the night before or have family commitments. Noone to be found, just you and all your goods needing to be moved across town in one day.
- Run out of resources. On move day, you may find you run out of boxes and end up having to pack goods into your car individually. You may have faulty tie downs and you could lose or damage some of your goods.
- Costs more than expected. Vehicles don’t consume the same amount of gas when carrying a heavy load, and costs could work out way more than expected. Especially when moving a longer distance. There are also massive wear and tear costs on your vehicle when carrying heavy loads.
You don’t need to stress though, we have some solutions for you. Let’s take a look.
How to be Prepared for the Unexpected
Benjamin Franklin once said: “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. A very true word, preparation is key. Here are two best ways to prepare for move day.
Check the weather
It’s always good to check the weather whenever you need to leave the house. You should always be aware of any possible storms on the way. Any bad weather conditions could make moving slightly more challenging.
