It is advised to keep the size of
truck into the consideration before hiring it. If you have a large amount of
goods to be transported, then it will be quite feasible to get a big size truck
and vice versa. In order to ensure the safe transportation of the goods, make a
list about the quantity of goods and the space they will require in a truck. It
always makes a great sense to check the registration certificate of the truck
you are planning to hire from the Pune packers and movers companies. This is
because if the moving company truck is not registered, then there are chances
that your goods may be confiscated by the government officers. Last but not the
least, it is important to make sure that the truck must belong to the
relocation service provider and not of any third party. The drivers must have a
valid driving license also.

I have been relocating to places
with my stuff for almost every 2 years due to my job and every time it is a big
hassle to move. I have tried number of packers and movers and everytime I make
sure I write my review. 80% of my relocation reviews talk about the damages
these people have made to my good and luggage.
It is a very difficult job to
find a good and reliable & good packers & movers! Basically while you
are changing location and you need to shift all of your belongings, it is
usually going to be a dark nightmare. I had found so many complains(on various
webpages) against various Packers & Movers. No one had given flawless
service to all. May be some are luckiest and rest are having bitter experience
with them.
2- Before finalizing with any
Movers kindly check the reviews of that particular Packers and Movers company.
3- Point out the various charges
and services they would offer to you to avoid any hidden charges post shifting
4-Clear every thing before
finalizing any movers in the terms of service and rate.
5-Visit their office to gain the
trust.
6- Before finalising any packers
ask them to email you all the offers.
Shifting goods or car from one
city to another city had always been a hassle. A never ending list of finding a
genuine packers& movers. All the companies will claim that they are the
best. But we can't trust them unless and until we used there service or
somebody else had used there service. Don't ever go with any unknown
packers& movers just because of the cheap quotation. Don't select the
packers& movers based on lowest quote because when you will handover the
shipment to them they increase the price and what quality of service you are
expecting from them there are no gonna give to you. Better pay little more
amount and select a recommended packers& movers.
Relocation is quite tough task
for me. But after hiring packers and movers services this task converts into
enjoyable experience for me. Now I can say packers and movers are the best
available service you are looking for. They provide best quality of service
which avail all the facility according to your needs and requirements. You
surely want to experience professional guidance for your shifting so they
provide you one of the best professional team for relocation.
You wouldn't find the best
packers& movers, if you go for search like this as there are many
packers& movers in India. But the fact of the matter is naming good
packers& movers is not a big deal but what best for others may not be the
he same of you. Hence, you better make a bit of research on it and find out
which one would suit you the most?
If you want to relocate from
Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai and other cities and want to
choose the best and reliable packers and movers anywhere in India area then
fortunately you are in right place. However, you can find a lot of companies by
searching on Google but all those companies are not so good. As we know that
every brighten thing is not gold. So, be careful before choosing any packers
and movers. Do enquiries and questionnaire as much as you can.
Making a blind choice while
choosing any packers & movers is never advisable since packers & movers
is not an organised sector. Mouthshut is a nice platform to let us know to
compare the company reviews. I had shift a lot in past but never been
satisfied.
Hi. Its is really a tedious and
hectic job to move goods from one location to another and its much more than
this to find a reliable service providers in your area.
But few things I relies and would
like to share with you, If you really sincere and want a honest service
provider you must be sincere about this process because you cant trust only
name of service provider because its not a regular job of you,
So be sincere with yourself to
hire a right service provider, Ask max 2-3 companies, Invite them to your home
and tell your complete requirement honestly, never hide anything with service
provider because your one laps can became strength of service providers, So be
honest and expect honesty. Always visit a physical office of service provider
with whom you want to go, verify everything from your end, because your one
laps can create a big trouble for you in future. Never hand over your goods to
any one whom you does not know where they located.
If you are planning to shift to a
new place or a city altogether, the first thing which comes to your mind is
about transporting your goods safely to that place. Choosing the right company
becomes more important if your goods have high price value.
Therefore, always make sure you
know as much as possible about the company. Visit their website, read their
reviews, call a few of their previous customers and only then decide. It is
always advisable to choose a company which any of your friends or family
members have used before.
Looking for relocation packers

manufacturers, furniture manufacturers are not 100% in todays world. I am 20
yrs in service industry but not a single co' comes up with a clean immage on
garanted tension free services.
Apart from this so many factors
like cunning customers asking for(low cost services), uneducated grade 4 labour
/ helper, truck drivers, bad roads, traffic.etc are the major hurddles.
My experience is that those who
are in IT or else.should only go for minimum useful things for relocation and
should purchase other few items like furniture etc from that perticuler city
were you are relocating & after you finish your terms .sell them there till
you settled in your permenent place.this will minimise your worries and hassel.

items during transit.

difficult to pack and move these fragile items. A damaged piece of art is very
heartbreaking, especially because it is rare and irreplaceable. A broken piece
of art or a damaged frame cannot be used in any way. If you are an art lover
and are looking forward to moving highly valuable art work, it is better to
hire professional packing and moving company. They will take care of the entire
move from the starting to end.
Additionally you can also choose
to insure your shipment and mark it as “Fragile” and “Art Work” as this will
indicate to the moving staff to carry these items with more caution.

possession for a sports lover. But, it can be very challenging for the moving
staff to handle them. If you are a sports lover and own sports equipment like
shuttle, bats, rackets, masks, helmets, boots, nets which are extremely
delicate and can be damaged during a move – you have to extra vigilant.

Glassware is delicate and needs extra care
while moving. It can be easily damaged if not properly protected. In order to
pack glassware and china cookware, always pack them in right size of the box,
so that there is minimal movement and shaking. Make sure the weight of each box
is 2-4 Kgs only. Wrap each glassware individually and make sure they do not
come in contact with one another.
4. Plants
Plants must be treated with utmost care
because if not properly cared for, they can die during the relocation. Once you
reach to your new home, be sure to first unpack the plants. If you are planning
a long distance move. If you are using a box to transport them, make sure you
drill a hole in the boxes it will give the plants a chance to breathe. Tied the
loose branches together to prevent breaking. Load the plants last and ask the
transpoter to keep watering them a little if possible, along the way.
5. Mirrors and Photo Frames
Mirror and photo frames can also easily get
damaged during a relocation. Since they are very fragile, it can easily break
if not handled properly. Pack the mirror and photo frames in boxes of their own
size. Always stuff the bottom of the box with newspaper and cushion the edges.
After packing the mirror and photo frame with news papers and bubble wrap,
label them as “Fragile” or “Handle with care”. Always transport the mirror and
photo frames vertically.
6. Electronics
The electronic appliances like washing
machine, TV, computer, home theaters etc can be damaged during a relocation.
Always use the original packing boxes to avoid damage. Also, use lots of
packing paper and bubble wraps to secure edges. If you do not have the original
box make use of alternative box which is of similar size. Pack cords of each
device separately and avoid placing anything on the top of boxes containing
electronic appliance.

when you finally have to unpack.

labeling your moving cardboard boxes for the big day.
1. Keep the labeling tools handy
Channel your inner Monica and become super
organized! Get the below listed stationary for labeling the boxes.
The basic thing you need for
labeling the moving boxes are 2-3 permanent markers. Get thick tip ones. Make
sure they are of good quality and brand. Avoid purchasing the cheapest markers,

Buy at least 4-5 different color set of markets. You can use different colors
to label different room belongings. This will make the unpacking easy. You
cannot predict the weather on a moving day, it is always best to prepare for
rain in advance. Always use waterproof marker pens to avoid smudging of the

2. Color codes are secret weapons
The best possible way to label the boxes is by
using a color coding system. This concept is effective as well as simple enough
to follow. Choose a color for each room and use it until the last box is
packed!
Eg. if you choose the color red for living
room use the red market and mark all the cardboard boxes in the living with red
color. You can also write living room on them and mention the exact content of
each cardboard box.

marker to write down the content of each box, it will save a lot of time. You
can assign a unique number to every container and prepare a master inventory
list.

content of each cardboard box. Don’t lose the master inventory list, else all
your efforts would be in vain. It is better to keep 2-3 copies of the list in
separate place. You can also photograph the list so that it stays in your

boxes

boxes. Make sure the writing is visible and readable. Using a packing tape over
the label is the best way to attach them to the moving boxes. Once you have
packed the box with delicate and breakable items, it is must to mark “Handle
with care or Fragile” with big fonts or red color in order to attract attention
of any person who maybe handling it.
Many times kids get disappointed
when they get to know they have to leave their friends, school and home and
move to an altogether new place. Once you have decided to move, you must inform
and prepare your kids about the move.
Here are some common mistakes
many people make when they move with their kids.
1. Not telling your kids the
reason for move
You could assume that your kids are too young
to understand the reason behind your move so you may decide not to tell them.
This is the main reason kids find it difficult to settle into a new place and
neighborhood. They are not aware why they left the previous place and suddenly
why should they accept the new one.
The best solution is to inform
your kids about the move. Answer all the question honestly. Explain and
convince them about the change and good things that come with the relocation.
2.Waiting till the last minute
before informing your kids
Don’t give unexpected news about the move to
your child and shock them, they need some time to process the news. Last minute
announcement may cause anxiety and panic. They are too young to think but will
understand very well that their life is going to change. While informing them
about the move you can share beautiful pictures of the new place, locality,
tourists attractions, play ground, new school to get them excited about moving.
3. Assuming kids can help with
the pack
You can take help from your kids while packing
and moving but avoid asking them to do too much. If you assume your kids maybe
able to get their toys packed with no supervision, you’re wrong! Some older
kids maybe able to help with the packing, but ensure that you guide them as you
may end up with damaged and broken valuables.
4. Excluding the kids completely
from the packing moving
Small kids cannot be expected to pack very
well, but they can definitely help you during the move. Kids are usually
interested in knowing what you are packing and taking to the new place. Ask
them to pack their own toys and other belongings like books or clothes which
are not too heavy.
5. Not preparing well in advance
when the kitchen has been packed
Always keep a bag handy it should contain some
healthy snacks and quick meals. Also have a few toys and books handy to engage
them if your television has been packed. This way they will not get bored and
get into dangerous situations when heavy furniture is being moved around.
If you’re relocating from within
the city or moving from one city to another, the hassle you face is pretty much
the same. Who do you trust with your belongings? How do you get in touch with
the best and most trusted packers and movers? How much do they charge? Are they
overcharging me? If you don’t have the answer to these questions, don’t worry,
we’re here to help you.
VPL will help you find the right home as well
as the right movers and packers for your needs. Our aim is to make the whole moving
process as quick, affordable, and painless as possible. Here are a few tips
that’ll help you choose the right packers and movers.
Don’t always choose the cheapest option
You’ll never know why one company charges more
than another, so do the research before you chose your packers and movers. One
main reason could be that they offer less manpower, this would mean packing
your house will take double the time! The other reason could be the equipment
and materials that they use, it might not be the best and it might not suit
your needs. This could also mean that your expensive appliances and other
household goods are at the risk of being damaged.
Another ‘trick’ most inexpensive
packers and movers use is to give you a low quote and then in-between the move
hike the rates. They use excuses like they did not know how many items you
have, they did not know it would be this far, they did not guess the size of
vehicle you would need and so on.
With professional movers on the job, your
stuff is in safe hands. You know that their estimates will take a lot of things
into consideration. You can also rest assured that they won’t use sub-standard
packing material or move your precious items callously.
Chose a team that has experience
An inexperienced team is easy to spot, it’ll
be the team that needs constant supervision and direction. When you’re moving,
there are plenty of things that need your attention, the last thing you should
be doing is wasting time monitoring the packing of your household items.
With an experienced team, you’ll get courteous
staff that is trained well and know exactly how to pack each item in your home.
Packers and movers that have experience also know the right materials that are
needed for the job. There won’t be time wasted on packing and re-packing and
you also won’t have to monitor them. Another big plus is, they will be on their
best behaviour while on the job.
Effective complaint resolution
If you’ve worked with unknown packers and
movers, you’ll know that they don’t take responsibility for things that go
wrong. When you unpack your furniture and appliances and you see something is
broken, who do you call? The packers and movers won’t respond and even if they
do, they will shrug off the damage or deal with the issue in a brutish manner.
With well-established movers and packers,
you’ll see that they have a dedicated customer care helpline and they will
attend to your issues professionally. This customer-centric approach will make
you feel valued and you’re sure to get value-for-money services.
Distance should not matter
It doesn’t matter if you need to move 500mts
or 500 km. Your movers and packers should be able to offer you the same
unbeatable services in both cases. If you choose an inexperienced team, they
assume that for short distances you don’t need to worry about the materials
used for packing.
This is a huge mistake, no matter what
distance you need to move, your items still need to be protected with the
highest quality of packing materials. Accidents could happen right outside your
door, and the only thing that can protect your items is how it’s packed and
what its packed with.
Time is of the essence
In today’s day and age, we have no time to
waste on slow and inefficient packers and movers. The movers and packers that
come without experience are always much slower than those who have experience.
They also tend to waste time going back and forth for more supplies and more
manpower. Whereas a reputed team of packers and movers will assess the job
correctly and have exactly what you need at hand and you’ll get the right
number of people to assist with the move. You’ll have a fast and trouble-free
move.
Hidden costs for small moves
If you have very few items to move its
tempting to just hire a tempo and do the job yourself. What you might not take
into consideration is that you still need to pay the helpers to load and unload
your articles. Instead of going through the hassle of doing this, you can get a
professional team who will manage your move from start to finish, at a minimal
extra cost.
Choosing the best packers &
movers or home removal services in India is one hell of a job. However, one
should be careful and check all the details of the packers & movers company
and should look that if they are covered by any insurance or not.
