Scope of this page: a list of common mistakes and how to avoid them. For full preparation see [[/تجهيز-البيت-قبل-نقل-العفش/]]. For the inventory template see [[/قائمة-جرد-العفش/]]. For handling damage see [[/ماذا-تفعل-عند-تلف-العفش-اثناء-النقل/]].
Mistake one: booking at the last minute
The busiest days are month-end, holidays and the start of summer, and late booking means fewer options and rushed preparation. Book with enough notice, and if your date is flexible ask which days are calmer. See [[/نقل-عفش-اخر-الشهر/]].
Mistake two: skipping the survey
Many people send a verbal description and are surprised by large pieces they forgot to mention. Photos or a video call solve this. See [[/معاينة-العفش-قبل-النقل/]] to know what we check in a survey.
Mistake three: weak packing or stacked boxes
Overloaded boxes collapse, empty ones crush and mirrors and glass need support. Spread the weight, close boxes well and name each box by room. See [[/تغليف-العفش/]] and [[/عدد-كراتين-التغليف-المطلوبة/]].
Mistake four: not documenting what leaves and arrives
A simple inventory protects you and the crew, because it makes checking on arrival easier. Use [[/قائمة-جرد-العفش/]] and photograph valuable pieces before loading.
Mistake five: forgetting access details
You may forget that the elevator needs booking, that the street is narrow or that the guard asks for permission. Ask about these at both ends in advance. See [[/نقل-عفش-بدون-مصعد/]].
