The thought of moving long distances can give people nightmares. There are so many things to take care at the same time that one way or the other, we end up making some mistake that might cost us. This might lead to a bad moving experience and scar them for life.

However, with the right people and the right services rest assured you can sit back and start preparing for your life ahead. We at Black Tie Movers, pride ourselves over our ability to provide our customers with long distance movers experience that they will never forget! Nevertheless, here are a few common mistakes that you must avoid when moving long distances:

1. Budget

Underestimating and overestimating your budget is an extremely common mistake. Don’t ask your neighbours how much they paid; the items you possess, the distance that you are covering, the services that you require might not be the same as them. Always ensure that you have an estimate once a representative has surveyed your home and analysed your needs.

2. Take What you need

As you are sorting out your items, simultaneously dispose off items that you might not need any more. This will ensure that you have less items to travel with and hence minimise your cost.

3. Proper Packaging

The worst mistake you can make is not packaging your materials properly. Always ensure that all your items have been packed in their respective packaging material or let your movers do it for you.

4. Insurance

Always make sure that you have properly insured all your items whenever you are about to make a long-distance move. These items might have to travel over difficult terrains and might have to bear other situations, it is better to be safe than sorry.

5. Booking

Make sure that you have booked your movers ahead of time and well in advance so as to avoid any last-minute issues and have sufficient time to gather your belongings before your moving date.

As difficult as this journey may seem, if you pay attention and ask the right questions you will be moving happily into your new home.
