Mistakes to Avoid When Moving House

Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving House in Auckland

June 22, 20251 min read

Moving house can be an exciting fresh start — but without the right planning, it can quickly turn into a stressful experience. At Super City Removals, we’ve helped hundreds of Aucklanders move with confidence. Here are the top 5 mistakes we see people make (and how you can avoid them).


1. Underestimating How Much Stuff You Have

Many people don’t realise how much they’ve accumulated over the years. Always allow more time than you think for sorting and decluttering. It makes packing — and moving — much easier.


2. Leaving Packing Until the Last Minute

Packing in a rush leads to broken items, missing essentials, and loads of stress. Start early, and label everything clearly. Or better yet, use our professional packing service and let the experts take care of it.


3. Not Having a Clear Moving Plan

A well-planned move is a smooth move. From booking the movers and reserving storage, to sorting out parking and insurance — we help our clients create a detailed moving plan so nothing gets missed.


4. Forgetting to Update Your Address

It’s easy to forget, but make sure you update your address with utilities, banks, and government services. Redirect your mail to catch anything you missed.


5. Trying to DIY a Big Move

Renting a trailer and asking mates might seem like a good idea — until it’s pouring rain, the fridge won’t fit, or someone gets injured. Our experienced movers make sure everything’s handled safely and efficiently.
