Moving into a new home should be an exciting milestone, but for many, it quickly turns stressful. From underestimating the amount of stuff you own to forgetting condo moving restrictions, there are countless ways things can go wrong. The good news is that with proper planning (and the right movers), you can avoid these pitfalls.
Here are the 10 most common mistakes people make when moving house in Singapore — and how Cube Movers helps you steer clear of them.
Packing always takes longer than expected. Many homeowners only start a few days before the move, leading to rushed packing, misplaced items, and unnecessary stress. Professional packing services can save time and ensure fragile items are protected.
What looks like “a few boxes” often turns into dozens once everything is packed. This mistake can result in hiring too small a lorry or not having enough cartons on hand. At Cube Movers, we provide free boxes with our packages so you won’t run short.
Large wardrobes, bed frames, or sofas may not fit through doors or lifts. Forgetting to measure leads to delays and extra costs. Professional movers can dismantle and reassemble furniture to solve this issue.
Many condominiums and apartments in Singapore require advance notice, lift padding, or restricted moving hours. Ignoring these rules can lead to fines or rejected moves. Cube Movers is familiar with MCST requirements and helps you comply smoothly.
Filling one carton with all your books may seem efficient, but it makes boxes too heavy to lift safely. A better strategy is to distribute heavy items across multiple boxes. Our movers use systematic packing to avoid such risks.
Unlabelled boxes cause chaos during unpacking. You may find kitchen items in the bedroom or spend hours searching for essentials. Labelling every box by room and content saves a lot of time.
Many people bring old or unwanted items to their new home instead of decluttering beforehand. This adds to costs and clutter. Cube Movers also offers disposal services to help you start fresh.
Attempting to move bulky furniture with friends may seem cheaper, but without dollies, straps, or manpower, it can lead to injuries and damage. Professional movers come prepared with the right equipment.
Some homeowners risk moving valuable items without protection. Hiring professional movers with experience and accountability gives you peace of mind that your belongings are safe.
Don’t fall into these common traps. Contact Cube Movers today for reliable house moving services in Singapore — with transparent pricing, free boxes, and professional movers you can trust.
