subject: Hiring Packers Movers For Shifting Or Relocations [print this page] When you decide to hire a professional to handle and move your goods or transport car from one location to another within or outside India, selecting a packer mover company becomes a difficult task. With so many packing and moving companies to choose from, how do you begin your selection process?
It becomes all the more difficult as the Packers Movers industry in India is largely unorganised and semi-organised.
The first step in selection process is to get reference, if possible, from your family, friends or office. Their past experience can give you a fair idea of the service provider. You can also do your own research on internet before making a final decision. Various online directories provide information about the Packers Movers in your locality or city. You can send a query to multiple Packers and Movers through these online directories. Besides comparing the cost of different Packers Movers, you can also gather more information about the company.
Before inviting any packer and mover to visit your house/office/factory for inspection, discuss your move over the phone. Try to know exactly what details will be involved in packing and moving, cost estimation for each service like packing/unpacking, loading/unloading & transportation and company address. Find out what you could be charged for extra services like detention (holding back the unloading of goods for few hours or a day), storage-in-transit etc. You should never give all the money in advance rather insist on paying some amount later that is after receiving and checking yours goods at destination. But this can all be possible if you give a workorder to your Packer Movers. Get all of your goods insured for transit risk.
Dont forget to visit the companys office especially if your goods are expensive. In case you are sending your goods overseas, check the packers experience in international packing and whether they follows the ship or air packing guidelines.
Check out the complaint or feedback about the packer and mover in directories. As other people might have good and bad tales to tell about the company.
In the end, share your own experience by writing reviews, this would surely help others.
