Yet despite that, the average person moves around 11.7 times in their lifetime. Chances are you\u2019ll probably move at least one or two more times if not more. Considering the amount of time in between moves, it\u2019s easy to forget the necessary tasks you need to take in addition to the standard packing, preparation, and more.\u00a0It\u2019s all too easy to get caught up in the madness that is moving. Unfortunately, that can lead to issues. Below are some of the most common mishaps that can happen and ways you can avoid them to make your next move easier.Damaging FurnitureJust because furniture is heavy and bulky doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s damage-proof. In fact, furniture damage is one of the most common moving issues. While it\u2019s certainly more common if you are doing a DIY move, even professional movers have been known to occasionally damage furniture. Between the lifting, moving, and transporting, it\u2019s easy to drop or hit something while you\u2019re trying to move your furniture. And while you might be worried about scuffing your beautiful wood tables and dressers, leather furniture is also prone to damage.&nbsp;Average Cost of Furniture Damage During MovesFurniture ItemCommon Moving DamageAverage Repair Cost (USD)Average Replacement Cost (USD)Wood Dining TableScratches, dents, broken legs$150 \u2013 $400$600 \u2013 $2,000Leather SofaTears, scratches, frame damage$200 \u2013 $500$1,200 \u2013 $3,000BookshelfWarping, cracks, broken shelves$80 \u2013 $200$300 \u2013 $800Bed FrameBroken slats, scratches, and cracked joints$100 \u2013 $350$500 \u2013 $1,500Glass Coffee TableChips, cracks, shattered glass$100 \u2013 $250$400 \u2013 $1,000Dining Chairs (Set of 4)Wobbly legs, upholstery tears$120 \u2013 $300$600 \u2013 $1,500DresserDrawer damage, scratches, cracked frame$150 \u2013 $400$800 \u2013 $2,000&nbsp;Since all of these items are expensive to repair and\/or replace, it\u2019s always a downer when these get damaged, especially if you notice it after you\u2019re already moved in. Luckily, it\u2019s fairly easy and cheap to prevent these issues by investing in moving blankets. Unlike the blankets you have for your bed, moving blankets are specially designed to provide extra padding and protection for your furniture. You can place these on top of, around, or in between items to help reduce the friction of your delicate pieces as you load them in and out of the moving trucks. Reputable moving companies will provide their own blankets and wrap up your furniture for you! This isn\u2019t just to protect your furniture but also the walls and doorways of your new home.Poor PlanningThe longer you have lived in a location, the more planning you need to do to make sure you don\u2019t forget anything. On the surface, the actual moving tasks might seem simple. After all, you just need to pack, load, and unload the truck, and unpack, right? Well, there\u2019s a lot more that goes into moving than just that, and it\u2019s easy to forget all of the little things. But the little things are what will leave you scrambling until the day of.Ideally, you can start planning for your move at least a month before your move date, which should give you enough time to jot down a list of tasks you need to complete. Some common tasks include:Hiring child care\/pet care &#8211; whether you have kids or pets, you\u2019ll want to opt for someone to help watch them throughout the moving process. You can enlist a trusted friend or family member so you can concentrate on moving as quickly and efficiently as possible.\u00a0Decluttering &#8211; you\u2019ve probably accumulated a lot of stuff over the years that you likely don\u2019t really need. Take the time to go through everything you own and get rid of items you no longer use. Try to sell, donate, or give away as much as possible before you consider throwing them out. The less stuff you have, the faster the move.Buying packing supplies &#8211; everyone knows that you need boxes for a move, but you don\u2019t want to forget the other supplies like tape, markers, colored labels, and bubble wrap. If you plan ahead, you might be able to ask friends, family, or even neighbors if they could spare any of these itemsPacking necessities &#8211; the last thing anyone wants to do is unpack a bunch of boxes to find their toothbrush when they\u2019re about to go to bed in their new home. To avoid this issue, pack your necessities bag(s) ahead of time. If you\u2019re not sure what to pack, consider what you would bring for a 3-day overnight stay in a hotel and pack those items separately.Switching on utilities &#8211; you definitely don\u2019t want to be left in the dark or cold after a big move. To avoid this scenario, make sure to arrange a turn-off date for your old place and a turn-on date for your new place beforehand. That way, you\u2019ll be able to relax in comfort once you\u2019ve moved in.Not Having a Packing SystemIt might seem a lot faster to just throw everything you own into boxes randomly, but remember that you also have to unpack, and it will make that process longer if you have no idea what is in each of your boxes. Plus, just throwing your things into a box willy-nilly is a great way to break fragile items.\u00a0&nbsp;Packing Supply Estimates by Home SizeHome SizeSmall Boxes(Books, Kitchenware)Medium Boxes(Clothes, Toys)Large Boxes(Bedding, Light Items)Packing Tape RollsBubble Wrap \/ CushioningLabels \/ MarkersStudio Apartment10 \u2013 158 \u2013 123 \u2013 52 \u2013 350 ft8 \u2013 101-Bedroom Apartment15 \u2013 2012 \u2013 185 \u2013 83 \u2013 475 ft10 \u2013 122-Bedroom Apartment20 \u2013 2518 \u2013 258 \u2013 124 \u2013 5100 ft12 \u2013 153-Bedroom House25 \u2013 3525 \u2013 3512 \u2013 186 \u2013 8150 ft15 \u2013 204-Bedroom House35 \u2013 5035 \u2013 4518 \u2013 258 \u2013 10200 ft20 \u2013 255+ Bedroom House50 \u2013 7045 \u2013 6025 \u2013 3510 \u2013 12250 ft25 \u2013 30&nbsp;Even if you\u2019re not a Type A person, it\u2019s important to have a packing system that you can stick with. Still, there are a few things you can\u2019t avoid doing if you want to have the best move:Taking inventory of everything you plan on moving &#8211; not only do professional moving companies require an inventory, it\u2019s also a great way for you to keep track of everything. So if one of your boxes goes missing, you can immediately point out the issue to the moving crew and get the issue resolved.Packing by room and type &#8211; this might seem like common sense, but the best way to pack is by room. It makes it a lot easier for you and the movers when they have to unload the truck, as they can place the boxes in the correct location. When it comes to type, try to pack as many of the same things together, especially when it comes to fragile items. That way, you can put the appropriate level of protection in the boxes to prevent breakage.Labeling boxes &#8211; some people like to color-code their boxes based on rooms, type of items, and even unpacking urgency. You don\u2019t necessarily need to get that detailed, but you should put down basic information like a general description of items in the box and which room they should go to. You should also make sure to label any boxes with fragile items and the appropriate direction the box should be placed.Falling for a Moving ScamThe financial toll of moving scams reached over $1.5 million, with nearly 50% of customers getting scammed by movers. The numbers are increasing every year as scammers get more sophisticated. It\u2019s no surprise that people fall for moving scams. After all, the moving industry can be fairly opaque when it comes to how it works and terminology. On top of that, people tend to wait until the last minute to hire professional movers, which means they don\u2019t leave enough time to do their research. Of course, it\u2019s still possible to fall for a scam even if you spend the time reading reviews and asking the movers questions. Some of the most common scams include:Paying a deposit for movers, but they simply don\u2019t showReceiving a quote from the movers based on the expected weight. Come moving day, the movers will say that the load is over the expected weight and charge additional fees, which are significantly more expensive per pound. Many will hold your belongings hostage until you pay the fee.The most insidious is the scam where everything seems to be going well. You get the estimate, they arrive on time, and load everything up. However, the truck fails to arrive at its destination, and either everything you own is gone or you have to pay an exorbitant fee.To avoid becoming the victim of a scam, you should take the necessary precautions before you hire the movers. In general, scams can be easy to spot by going to their website and looking for information such as the address, phone number, and department of transportation number. If that checks out, make sure to call the company and ask some questions like what kind of estimates they provide, cancellation policy, hidden fees, and so on. Their answers should be easy to understand and professional. If they are rude and avoid answering the question, move on! Unusual requests are also a red flag so if they ask for a large deposit, it\u2019s a good indication that they are a fraudulent business.\u00a0&nbsp;Moving Scam StatisticsType of ScamHow It Works% of Reported CasesAverage Financial Loss (USD)Hostage Goods ScamMovers load belongings but demand extra fees before delivery.45%$1,500 \u2013 $5,000Fake Deposit ScamCustomer pays deposit, movers never show up.30%$500 \u2013 $2,000Weight\/Bait-and-SwitchLow-ball estimate given; final bill inflated with hidden fees.20%$1,000 \u2013 $3,500Stolen BelongingsMovers never deliver items or disappear mid-move.5%$2,500 \u2013 $10,000+Total (Annual in U.S.)An estimated 3,000+ reported moving scam cases100%$1.5+ Million in Losses&nbsp;If they\u2019ve gotten through the initial screening, always stress getting all the details and information in writing. That includes the contract, estimate, quote, and so on. Make sure to read the terms and conditions of the contract carefully and ask questions if the writing seems vague. Finally, keep an inventory of all of your belongings. While movers technically aren\u2019t liable for lost or damaged contents in customer-packed boxes, if you can prove negligence on the mover\u2019s part, you can receive reimbursement. Your standard free insurance will only cover $0.60 per dollar per pound for each damaged or lost item, so spring for third-party moving insurance.InjuriesEven if you go to the gym a lot, moving works out entirely different muscles and requires certain techniques to avoid injuries. Moving boxes might be easy, after all, the trick is to lift with your legs, but what about moving heavy furniture like sofas, dressers, couches, and so on? These are injury magnets! Not only are they bulky, but they are also oddly shaped and might require you to adjust positions in order to maneuver through tight hallways and doors. Do you have stairs that you will need to use? It\u2019s all too easy to miss a step when you\u2019re carrying big boxes! And on top of all that, if you plan on renting a truck, there are more opportunities to get in an accident as you\u2019ll be driving a large and unfamiliar vehicle.The best way to avoid getting hurt during your move is to hire professional movers. They will handle the loading and unloading of the truck so you don\u2019t have to lift a finger. And since they are pros, they know exactly how to lift heavy items. Should they get injured, the moving company has insurance and workers\u2019 compensation. However, most companies provide their moving crew with extensive safety training along with refreshers every month to make sure they stay safe.Of course, if you don\u2019t have the money for movers, you\u2019ll need to go the DIY route. To lighten the load, don\u2019t overstuff your boxes. Put heavy items like books into small boxes so the weight doesn\u2019t add up. For furniture, enlist the help of friends or family members and invest in hand trucks or dollies. This can turn a four-person job into a two-person job!\u00a0Moving Soon?Your best bet when it comes to moving is to take your time. Whether that\u2019s packing your stuff or researching moving companies, it pays to plan ahead.
