10 Common Mistakes When Moving Furniture and How to Avoid Them
Most moving problems happen before moving day, not on it. These ten mistakes repeat often, and avoiding them costs nothing.
The ten mistakes
- Verbal agreement: write down the price, what it includes and the arrival time on WhatsApp.
- Choosing the cheapest without details: compare what the price includes, not just the number (how to compare offers).
- Leaving packing until the last night: it causes breakage and forgetting.
- Neglecting the measurements of doors, stairs and the elevator: then you are surprised by a piece that will not fit.
- Forgetting the compound permit or booking the elevator.
- Leaving valuables and documents in the drawers: carry them with you.
- Not photographing the condition of important pieces before loading.
- Not numbering the boxes: then hours are lost sorting at the new home.
- Moving furniture to a home that is not ready: consider temporary storage.
- Paying the full amount in advance: it is better to pay a deposit and the rest after the move is completed.

We set the price before loading and its items do not change, we record the condition of important pieces with photos together with you, and we send you the information we need in advance. We take a 30% deposit to confirm the booking and the rest after the move is completed.
