📦 5 Things That Always Get Lost During a Move — and How to Avoid It
Moving isn’t just boxes and heavy lifting. It’s organized chaos where your most essential items love to disappear. At SwiftMove, we’ve helped hundreds of families relocate — and we’ve seen what vanishes first.
Here’s your top 5 — and how to keep them safe 👇
1️⃣ Chargers, cables, adapters 🔌
You had ten. On moving day? None.
💡 What to do:
Create a single “tech bag”, tape it bright, and keep it close.
2️⃣ Important documents 📄
Passports, rental contracts, insurance papers — gone in a puff.
💡 What to do:
Gather them in a zippered folder and carry it with you. Not in a box!
3️⃣ Keys to everything 🗝️
Old home, new home, garage, storage, bike, mailbox…
💡 What to do:
Create a temporary "keyring for the move", label each, and snap a pic.
4️⃣ Bathroom bits & pieces 🧼
Hair ties, clippers, razors, toothbrushes — all vanish.
💡 What to do:
Pack a “personal travel kit” — like you’re going on a weekend trip.
5️⃣ Mugs, plates, cutlery ☕🍴
You need tea after moving — but the mug is deep in box #12.
💡 What to do:
Make a “first-day survival box”: cups, spoon, knife, toilet paper, charger, coffee. You’ll thank yourself.
✅ SwiftMove doesn’t just move stuff. We move calmly, kindly, and carefully.
Our movers always ask:
— Do you have a “must-open” box?
— Need help with fragile packing?
We protect your peace — not just your belongings 🧘♀️
