I hope these moving tips and advice will come handy in your relocation.
Delayed planning
The worst thing you can do is to delay the planning. Remember the more time you have in your hand; your relocation will be more comfortable. If you have less time, you may end up paying more to every one, because urgency costs. So plan from the moment you know you have to relocate.
Don’t hire packers and movers without comparing
Don’t just approach one moving company and approve it. Competition gives your better deal. So talk to a couple of packers and movers companies in your city before approving and hiring one. Show them quotations from other movers and negotiate well. Remember, chances are high you will get better deal if there is competition between a couple of moving and packing companies.
Always prefer door-to-door service
If you are hiring a professional packers and movers service provider to help you relocate, then make sure you hire them to offer their service from door-to-door. If they are unable to offer door-to-door services, then ensure they take care of the overall transportation to your doorstep.
Get rid of unused and old items
You may not require anything and everything that’s lying in your home. Make a good list of items that is essentially required and you think you will be using. Avoid packing and moving items that is not usable or you have not used since last few months. Chances are you will not use it again. Calculate value proposition and ensure that packing, moving costs of an item is not equal to the cost of the new products in your new home.
Buy Insurance
It is always a good idea to buy transit insurance when you are shifting full household goods or car. Paying an insurance premium of a few hundred rupees is better than risking all your household goods. No one can guarantee that there won’t be an accident on the way or your goods won’t get stuck in a flood. Buy a suitable moving insurance before transporting your goods.
