3 Common Moving Nightmares and How to Prevent Them

Because as much as house-renting is taxing, there’ll be plenty of people to help you out with it.

Bad Planning and Packing

Yep, you might think that packing a few bags and sending some couriers is all there is to moving into a new city. But sorry to break your bubble, when you have a lifetime of memories to pack – and mum’s 10,000 bottles of achaar – the day of moving can end up feeling like a nightmare. And in case you’re moving your furniture too, just paying random packers and movers won’t mean the end of your trouble. You have to do prior research about them and make sure all your precious items are packed and named in the order. That way, your unpacking will be so smooth, that you can even put a camera and shoot an ASMR unpacking video lol.

Traffic Issues and Moving in Peak Season

Moving to a new city during peak season (like the time when colleges reopen) can bring you a lot of trouble. If you’re still underestimating it, let us paint a picture. Imagine paying triple the usual flight fare. Spent the first few hours stuck in traffic in the new city. And your couriers getting so delayed, you end up buying half of those items to survive in your new apartment. Don’t like that picture? Then just time your move well. And you’ll end up being as happy during your first week as Baba Sehgal has been through his entire life.

Not Carrying Essential Items

One of the most common mistakes that folks often do is pack things thinking long term. We don’t mean that’s bad, but you’ve also got to think short-term and pack a few essential items for your comfy first night in the new place. And that may include your basic toiletries, a pair of flip flops, and a blanket, or two if it’s winter. Or you’ll have to walk around looking for things in an unknown neighborhood like a lifestyle channel host. But one who’s looking for sunsilk sachets instead of French gourmet restaurants.
