Local Packers and Movers in Bandra

If you rent a truck, you have to take complete responsibility for packing all the goods by yourself, searching for a dependable transport service and loading-unloading them. However, when you hire professionals, they will handle the entire relocation, and you will not have to do a single task; they will even use their own transport vehicle to shift the goods.

However, when you have to move less number of items and have friends who can help you with lifting and moving, renting a truck is the best option. But, when you have to move complete household goods and require expert help for shifting delicate items, it’s best to hire professional moving companies.

Local relocation from one locality to another can be completed within a single day depending on the number of items and the size of the house you’re moving.

Generally, moving companies can shift a standard 1 BHK within 4 – 5 hours; they will need at least 5 – 6 hours to move a 2 BHK, and a minimum of 6 – 8 hours or more for shifting a 3 BHK or bigger.

AssureShift performs complete background verification of the moving companies; we check their company registration and owner ID documents, office workspace, and transport arrangements. We also take regular feedback from our customers, to understand the service quality provided by the moving companies and make sure it is maintained. If we receive any complaints against the movers, we take immediate action by temporarily suspending their profiles or permanently blacklisting them, depending on the severity.

Once you tell us your shifting requirements, we will refer the 3 top relocation service providers in [city] near you who provide the required services within your budget.

The moving companies make your local shifting easier by taking care of the following:

• packing all the household goods,
• loading them into the transport vehicle,
• transporting them from origin to destination,
• delivery and unloading at your doorstep, and
• unpacking of all the goods for home-arrangement.

Apart from these essential relocation services, they also perform disassembly of large goods before packing at the origin and re-assembly after unpacking them at the destination.

The movers calculate your shifting charges depending on:

• The number of household items you have to move;
• The amount of delicate and specialty items;
• How much packing material will be needed;
• What kind of vehicle is suitable to move all your goods in;

One of the primary factors that affect your relocation expenses is the quantity of goods you are moving. If you reduce the number of items by decluttering, your relocation charges can be reduced. You should also make sure that you plan the move well in advance and schedule the move on the right day.

It’s best to take quotations from at least 3 movers so that you can easily compare the estimated charges and company profiles, and hire the most relevant moving company.

The packers and movers will not shift certain items which may cause damage to the other household items or to the transport vehicle. The relocation service providers will not move these goods:

• Valuable items like laptops, jewellery, important documents, etc.;
• Essential items like toiletries, medications, extra pair of clothes, cleaning supplies, etc.;
• Perishable food items which may get spoilt and ruin the other goods too;
• Hazardous liquids like fuel, motor oil, kerosene or other flammable liquids, paints, paint diluter, batteries, etc.;
• Explosive and corrosive items, etc.;

• If you have just few items to move, and if you don’t need labors for high-skilled packing, then you can pack by yourself and hire a truck to move them;
• If you have to move many items or a big house, it’s best to let the moving companies pack all the goods with expertise using top-quality packing material;
• When you hire movers, the shifting charges do not reduce much even if you decide to pack all the goods by yourself, so it’s best to let them do the packing properly.

Before moving to your new home, make sure you take care of these tasks on moving day:

• Keep your essential bag, valuables and important documents in a separate room to make sure movers don’t take them;
• Take pictures and inventory of all the items and furniture before the moving companies pack them;
• Reserve the elevator, staircase and parking spot beforehand for undisturbed shifting;
• Guide movers during disassembly, packing, loading, unloading, unpacking, and re-assembly of all goods;

• Fake moving companies will not have valid documents for GST registration, owner identification proofs, and so on.
• They will not have a proper company website or online profiles in social media.
• They will not have their own office workspace or may not have an office at all, and they may use rented transportation.
• Fake packers and movers will not have professional behavior when you meet them, or they may be friendly in the beginning and change entirely during the relocation.

• Select a few movers after verifying the company documents, and reading reviews and ratings about them;
• Contact the shortlisted movers, explain your shifting requirements, and take cost quotations from 3 or more movers;
• Request them to conduct a pre-move survey to get more accurate charges and to discuss the move in detail;
• Compare the shifting charges along with the company profiles and hire the best-suited packing and moving company which fulfills your requirements and budget needs;

• They will plan the entire relocation from start to finish;
• They will check how many items should be moved, how much packing material is needed, which truck is suitable to fit all the items comfortably, how to do the loading and unloading, and so on;
• They will handle the entire process of packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking all the goods;
• They will also disassemble and re-assemble large goods in order to ensure complete safety while moving;

There are many tasks to keep in mind and be prepared before the movers arrive; here are a few important and basic ones:

• Clear the pathway from door to truck for smooth loading;
• Take measurements of the furniture and doorways to make sure they fit properly;
• Use protective padding around the corners of the walls and doors;

How much you should tip the movers completely depends upon what you are comfortable with. However, you should remember to tip the movers only at the end of the move, and hand over equal tips to each of them individually. A decent tip amount would be Rs 100 – Rs 150 for local shifting; or any higher amount which you are comfortable with.

It’s not difficult to find a list of moving companies, but it is challenging to identify trustworthy options. Due to the absence of a proper verification authority, there are many fake and unprofessional movers who attract customers with the lowest quotes.

To avoid getting trapped, you should do thorough verification of the company’s GST registration documents along with the owner’s ID proof and make sure the details match. You can also check if they have a website, and contact them or visit their office space at the location mentioned. Make sure they have a professional office set up and take note of how they behave when you visit them in person.

It may be difficult to choose the right movers since the relocation prices offered are very different; some of them are expensive, some are averagely-priced, and others are extremely low. Cheapest relocation companies may provide extremely poor-quality services or they may start increasing prices halfway through the move. The cheap and best solution is to choose an averagely-priced company which offers good services according to your requirements at affordable rates.

Instead of looking for moving companies on unknown sources like Google or online directory websites, you can easily hire pre-verified movers through a reliable reference portal like AssureShift.
