Avoid These 5 Common Moving Day Mistakes with Help from 360 Degree Moving a Rockland Moving Company

Let’s face it moving can be overwhelming. Between packing, coordinating logistics, and lifting heavy furniture, it’s no wonder people say it’s one of life’s most stressful events, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At 360 Degree Moving, we’ve helped hundreds of Rockland County residents move with confidence. As a local and trusted Rockland Moving Company, we’ve seen the biggest moving mistakes people make, and we’ve built our services to prevent them. Here are five of the most common moving day mistakes and how we help you avoid every single one.

1. Underestimating the Time Needed

Most people think, “We’ll be done by lunch" or "it will only take 2 hours" The truth? Moving nearly always takes longer than expected especially if you have intricate assembly furniture, elevators are slow, furniture is bulky, or access is tricky.

✅ Our 360 Fix: We build your timeline based on your inventory, the logistics of your move, and real-world experience. That means you will receive a transparent moving timeline, fewer delays, and more peace of mind.

2. Poor Packing = Broken Belongings

It's important to pack your belongings the right way and in the right boxes. Using the wrong box for dishes or books, not sealing the top and bottom of your boxes correctly, kitchen items wrapped in newspaper that left black smudges everywhere, or packing breakables with no padding leading to potential damages of the items inside your box. We’ve seen it all and so have frustrated customers who didn't realize packing is half the battle.

✅ Our 360 Fix: We guide you through what to pack, how to pack, and even offer professional full or partial packing services if you need extra help. We also offer the proper packing materials needed for your move.

3. Forgetting Building Rules or Elevator Reservations

This one’s a biggie, especially in apartments, condos, or city buildings. Without elevator access or a legal place to park the truck, your move could grind to a halt before it even starts.

✅ Our 360 Fix: As a local Rockland Moving Company, we’re familiar with most building protocols in the area. We’ll ask the right questions ahead of time and make sure all access logistics are confirmed, including providing a Certificate of Insurance for your move if your building requires one.

4. Adding Last-Minute Items

Customer's may want to take last minute items that were not part of the original moving quote received. Whether it may be boxes in the attic, furniture that was to be sold, or items in the garage, these extra items can slow down your move and increase your cost.

✅ Our 360 Fix: Our goal is to be flexible and transparent. If changes come up, we explain any cost adjustments clearly and professionally beforehand so there aren't any surprises.

5. No “Essentials Moving Box” for the First Night

After a full day of moving, digging through boxes to find your phone charger, pajamas, or toothbrush is the last thing you want to do.

✅ Our 360 Fix: We provide our customers with a simple essentials box checklist with everything they’ll need for the first 24 hours in their new home: meds, phone charger, fresh clothes, toiletries, etc. You'll thank us later!
