Moving can be exciting, but it also comes with challenges — especially if you’re not prepared. At Snellville Movers, we’ve seen it all. Here are 7 common moving mistakes and simple tips to avoid them for a smoother experience.
1. Waiting Until the Last Minute
Procrastinating leads to rushed packing, forgotten items, and stress.
✅ Solution: Start packing 2–4 weeks ahead and make a checklist.
2. Not Labeling Boxes
Unlabeled boxes create chaos when unpacking.
✅ Solution: Clearly mark boxes by room and content.
3. Underestimating Time and Effort
Many people think moving will take a few hours — until it doesn’t.
✅ Solution: Hire professional movers who know how to plan efficiently.
4. Skipping Packing Supplies
Using bags or weak boxes can lead to damage.
✅ Solution: Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape — or ask us for supplies.

It’s no fun getting stuck in the hallway with a couch.
✅ Solution: Measure everything in advance and disassemble where needed.
6. Ignoring the Weather Forecast
A rainy day can slow down everything.
