GBPS: Cost Reduction Tips P&M - General

Compare & Hire- Some big brands cost more, and small brands cost less for the same quality & amount of services. That is why it is always better to hire after proper consultation & comparison of at least 10 shifting companies.

Reduce your volume- Volume & Distance are the biggest factors that will affect your cost. You cannot control the distance you will move but you can definitely reduce the volume, either by selling or donating some old households.

Do Pack yourself- You do not need professional skills to pack your things. You just need to start early, organize and pack your things on your own. This will drastically reduce your overall cost.

Arrange packaging materials- Do not buy new packaging materials unless you don’t have it. Try & arrange old bubble wraps to pack your delicate items, styro-foam as padded walls, old newspaper as wrapping paper and old carton boxes to arrange the things.

Additional Services-Assembling-disassembling of heavy furniture, detaching AC or TV set, etc., do need a bit of professional skills. Get it done by someone you know personally or one who would charge very less.

Labor Charges- You can always save labor charges by asking some of your friends and relatives to help you carry, load and unload your goods.

Shared Vehicle- Always opt to move your goods in a shared vehicle instead of a dedicated one. This will reduce your moving cost by two-three folds, drastically lowering your overall cost.
