How To Avoid 3 Common Moving Mistakes

We know—moving is probably not how you’d like to spend your weekend, but with the right planning and strategy, your move can be simple, fast, and possibly even fun! Though working with an experienced Colorado, moving team will help streamline the process. You still have a lot to coordinate for moving day. With so much on your plate, it’s easy to make mistakes that can end up costing you both time and money. Here are some of the most common mistakes people make when moving and how you can avoid making them yourself.

You Assume Handling the Move Yourself Will Save You Money

Most people assume that doing things on their own will save them money. While this may be true for small home improvements, it’s not always true with a move. Rental trucks may seem affordable at first, but when you look at the details, the costs start to rise. In addition to the base rental price, they often charge you a per-mile fee, daily rental insurance and expect you to fill the gas tank before returning the truck. If anything is damaged or the truck bed is dirty, you can expect to be charged an additional cleaning fee. Each charge may seem small, but when you add them up, you may end up spending more on a rental than you would on a professional moving team. Instead of assuming a DIY move will save you money, get estimates from a reputable company.

You Take Everything With You

If you’ve lived in the same house for years, you may be surprised at how much stuff you accumulate. Though it may be tempting to take all of your belongings with you to your new home, it’s best to spend some time sorting through your possessions. Remember, the cost of your move may be based partly on the weight of your items or the number of boxes you’re moving. The fewer boxes you move, the more money you’ll save. As you pack, take the time to go through your belongings and donate or sell the items you no longer want. This will save you money upfront while also making it easier to unpack once you’re at your new home.

Not Buying Enough Bubble Wrap

You have more fragile items than you may think. When you’re packing in a hurry, stacking your dishes, holiday decorations, and decorative knickknacks in a box without enough padding may become commonplace. Rather than worrying about saving the little amount of bubble wrap you have on hand, buy more padding than you think you’ll need. This will give you more leeway to pack your fragile items properly without worrying about running out of materials. If you have extra left at the end of your move, sell it to a friend or post an ad online to get rid of your extra moving boxes and supplies.

These guys were great. Very careful with my furniture and they were quick. Not one ding on the walls either. I highly recommend them. I will be using them again in the future.

I don't know what to say other than thanks Eden's! They helped me move twice now and both were smooth as you can expect a move to be. A broken cup or two but what do you expect, they moved my stuff across state lines and I have broken more moving myself, that is just part of the process. They were great about going over the coverage options too to ensure I was covered for any damages. Always get insurance for a move! Thanks again Eden's, I will recommend you to anyone!

The movers showed up on time, and did an amazing job dealing with some very difficult pieces of furniture. They moved things that I thought would be impossible to move. They worked hard and fast and were very careful with my walls nothing was scratched. Good work! Thanks!!

Eden's Moving was one of the best moving experiences I've ever had with a moving company, the movers were timely, professional, hard working, considerate, and knowledgeable. Dawn the scheduler and front office personnel was outstanding with her professionalism and communication. I highly recommend Eden's Moving to anyone seeking movers they will not let you down!

Highly recommended movers! We hired Edens movers for a local move in Lakewood CO and they did an outstanding job. The movers were professional and friendly and the entire move went smoothly without any trouble. From the start they were organized and clear and the price was more than fair. Thank you for your great job!

Best prices and great to work with. You have to wait a little bit longer for your stuff but they were very upfront about the time frame, gave us a range, and called a few days ahead of time. Our move was difficult because our stuff was in storage (we had already moved and due to another moving company dropping the ball we could not get back to finalize boxing everything up). They did a great job once they arrived organizing our stuff in storage carefully. I would highly recommend.

Save yourself the time and trouble of trying to do it yourself or hiring questionable movers - I fully recommend Eden's Moving Services to anyone who needs professional moving services! I used their long distance moving service, their storage service and their packing services and they did a great job. The teams where very professional and the entire move process was perfect.

My household has used Edens four times now with perfect results. The moved a massive Piano off the second floor – safe and quick. I hired them again with my recent long-distance move. The crew showed up on time, they were quick and careful with my stuff, and they made sure everything got placed where I'd need it.. Great experience once again. Will definitely use them again. extremely recommended.
