Even the most organized moves have surprises. Here are the most commonly forgotten packing details our professional movers see every day 👇
1️⃣ Important Paperwork
Birth certificates, passports, titles, medical records, insurance docs.
➡️ Keep these in a personal bag, not the moving truck.
2️⃣ Garage & Outdoor Items
People forget sheds, grills, ladders, patio furniture, hoses, and garage shelves.
➡️ Walk the entire property before move day.
3️⃣ Items Stored “Out of Sight”
Attics, closets, under beds, cabinets, laundry rooms.
➡️ These are the #1 forgotten zones.
4️⃣ Cords, Remotes & Mounting Hardware
TV cords, modem cables, furniture bolts, bed rails.
➡️ Tape them in labeled bags to the item they belong to.
5️⃣ Food & Freezer Contents
Condiments, freezer food, pantry items hiding in the back.
➡️ Clean out the fridge 24–48 hours before moving.
6️⃣ Valuables & Sentimental Items
Jewelry, heirlooms, keepsakes, photo albums.
➡️ Transport these yourself whenever possible.
7️⃣ Trash Day Timing
People forget to take trash out before leaving.
➡️ A full trash can at an empty house is never fun.
8️⃣ Final Utility Checks
Thermostat, lights, garage door openers, irrigation timers.
➡️ Do a final walkthrough after the truck is loaded.
9️⃣ Cleaning Supplies
Brooms, paper towels, trash bags, wipes.
➡️ You’ll need them after the movers leave.
🔟 The “First Night” Essentials
Toilet paper, meds, chargers, pajamas, pet food, basic tools.
➡️ One clearly labeled box can save your sanity.
