Moving to a new house could be a very exciting and at the same time overwhelming process.
So many things to pack and label and arrange, and so many things that can be overlooked.
It is not until they get to the new location that many Canadians see what they are leaving
behind. These lost objects can be stress-inducing, wasteful of time, or even expensive to
replace.This will also assist you in being ready and organised since you know what most
people forget. You can ensure that you do not leave anything important behind with a good
plan and the appropriate assistance of a reliable moving company such as Transatlas.
Important Documents and Records
Personal documents are another category of items that usually get ignored. These are the
passports, medical, financial papers and school files. Most people keep them in drawers or filing
cabinets and forget to remove them before the move. In their absence, you might struggle to enrol
in a new school, obtain health care, and even take on a new job. To have all the documents in one
folder or envelope and bring them along rather than have the movers carry them is a good plan.
Items Stored in Hidden Spaces
When packing, people tend to pay attention to the most important rooms of the house. This
renders it extremely easy to forget things that are deposited in obscure areas like attics,
basements or garages. Holiday decorations, gardening tools and camping equipment are
seasonal and are likely to be packed up and left behind. Even minor but significant things
like jewellery boxes or presents stored in drawers are likely to be ignored. We can prevent
these errors by taking a last tour of all of the rooms and storage spaces before departing
the house.
Kitchen and Pantry Goods
The other place where people forget is in the kitchen. Dry food, spices, and small appliances
have a tendency to be stored in cupboards or fridges. Most movers in Canada, such as
Transatlas, recommend that clients inspect pantry shelves before relocation. Open food
containers or frozen foods and half-full condiments are easily forgotten or left behind. Packing
kitchen items will require more work, but you will save time and money by remembering
everything when you move into your new home.
Clothes and Personal Care Items
Other places where individuals fail to remember things are closets and bathrooms. Clothes at
the dry cleaner’s or shoes stored away in corners or items in laundry machines are easily
overlooked. Some things (brushes, hair dryers, razors, etc.) are accidentally left in bathrooms.
Since they are items of daily use, they can easily be left unnoticed as they are being packed. One
way to prevent this issue is to make a checklist of each room and check it twice.
Electronics and Accessories
Smaller electronics and their accessories are also forgotten by many Canadians when they
move. Remote controls, chargers, headphones and USB drives are left unattended. They are items
which are not large and may be costly or inaccessible to replace. Since they tend to be dispersed
in various rooms, they may not be stacked. Having a small box or bag specifically to store the
electronics will ensure that nothing is left behind.

Final Thoughts
Typically, the smallest, everyday objects found in obscure places are what people tend to
leave out when packing in Canada. You can pack early and avoid dropping important things
such as documents, medicines, or chargers by making a checklist. You should always check
your house one more time before going. After some proper planning and with the help of a
reliable moving company such as Transatlas, you can make your move easy and worry-free
without leaving anything of importance behind.
