Moving is seldom thought of as fun. But it can be really funny.

Moving mishaps that’ll make yo

We chatted to some moving companies to hear some of the most embarrassing, frightening and just plain silly mistakes that have been made when people move house.

MIA passports

A family was moving abroad and had asked that the moving company pack their belongings. Tucked away, in a non-descript envelope in a drawer in one of the dressers was the family’s set of passports.

The moving company did what they were asked to, and packed everything, including the hidden passports. Only once the container was loaded and the family was en route to the airport did they discover what had happened.

Fortunately, the container was intercepted before it reached the port and the company was able to locate the passports in time for the family to board their plane.

Which continent?

A moving company was asked to ship a chair to Perth.

Nowhere did the client clarify which Perth, however, so the chair made its way to Perth, Australia. Except, the client had meant for it to go to Perth, Scotland!

Fortunately for the client, the moving company managed to get the chair onboard a shipment out of Perth, Australia, and it made its way to its rightful continent.

Second… erm… fourth guessing yourself

A moving company has been asked to handle one family’s move to New Zealand and back again – four times!

Each time the family makes it to New Zealand’s shores, they realise how much they miss South Africa and move back. The company even stopped the container en route the third time, as the client got cold feet before they had even re-settled in New Zealand.

The family has made the move for the fourth time, and for now, seems to be sticking to it.
