The Worst Moving Mistakes

Moving time is chaotic. It takes up a lot of your time and energy, and with that, errors are, therefore, prone to happen. These mistakes come with additional costs on top of the already moving cost. After testaments from individuals who have made these mistakes, we have come up with a few of the worst mistakes made while moving.

The 'I do not need help' mentality

With a lot of DIY videos going around, most people have tried and opted to try and do the moving instead of hiring a moving company. Doing it yourself is not only time consuming but also creates room for mistakes. In the process of packaging, moving, and unpacking, some of your valuable items may get destroyed, causing more cost in replacing or repairing the item than it would have cost you to hire a reputable moving company.

Procrastination in packing

A majority of people are procrastinators, especially when the task appears tiresome, like packing for a move. Unfortunately, packing at the last minute leaves room for mistakes. When you pack in a hurry, you fail to pay attention to the important stuff, such as the more fragile goods that would take up more time and care to wrap. There is also a chance that you forget to pack something you wanted to move.

Hogging

It is very common to want to hold on to things you feel hold some sentimental value for you. However, many times, these are items you do not need. All they end up doing is add more cost to your move and take up space in the new place that could be put to better use. Moving time is a great time to DE clutter. If you have things you have not used for a while and others that you have in doubles, get rid of them.

No insurance

We have all been guilty of not insuring our goods at one point or the other. Not insuring your assets, expensive or not, is dangerous, especially during the moving process. Insurance ensures that replacement or repair of the good is possible without having to add more cost to your moving expenditure. It also comes through for you when you need to fix or replace the item, and you have financial constraints.

 Verified Great Experience.  Needed a couple of movers to help move in my Daughter for a job relocation.  On short notice Coast Movers came through.   Jonathan, the owner, was super helpful.  Along with a good price they helped out when we had a vehicle breakdown and had to change the move date/time on less than 24 hours notice.   The two movers that came out were polite and worked very fast.   Great experience and I highly recommend Coast Movers.

 Verified I only needed a baby grand piano to be moved from a friends house in GH to ours in GH, so I contacted Coast Movers. The owner, Jonathan, was great in helping me understand what was involved, and later got me in touch with Jason, who took care of the scheduling. They did a great job in getting the job done around their other bigger jobs, and went out of their way to make it happen seamlessly. The three man crew knew how to handle the instrument, including disassembly, protecting, and re-assembly. All done in a little less than three hours from start to finish. The pricing was fair and honest, and I was more than happy to tip the crew for a job well-done. Oftentimes, some movers will trap customers once they have your items on the truck, only to tell you then that the price is going to be more than quoted. I've had that happen to me in the past, but in this case, the price was exactly what I was told it would be! Now I understand why Coast Movers has been in business for 15-years. It was a bonus to find a local company to support, too. Thank you, Coast Movers and the excellent crew who helped us with this project yesterday!

 Verified The 3 man team that moved my son was amazing. For 7 hours they did not stop moving except for a short lunch break. Coast Movers moved from a 3 story place with lots of tight corners to a 2 story with more tight corners and didn't damage a single wall or piece of furniture. They brought supplies to protect our walls and doorways and furniture and treated every box/piece of furniture like it was their own.

 Verified I've used Coast Movers more than once in the past. I've also referred friends and family.
I've experienced and heard nothing but great things!
I'd definitely recommend them if you're in search of moving service in or near the Gig Harbor, Seattle, or Kitsap area! Good communication and easy to deal with! The price quotes
And expected move times were right on the money. And prices were lower than expected. Always Less than competitor's prices.
