by Ram Sewak Transportation

Local home shifting is a bit easier in comparison to a long distance move. It requires extreme planning and can be generally done in a day or two. Unless you hire Agarwal packers as your moving partners and prepare for your move in advance, you may end up in a relocating mess.

Now, that you know there are professional moving companies who can help you to relocate to any corner of your street, city, or town, let us see how it can be planned and how can you be prepared for a safe and affordable shifting process.

Step 1: Sort the items first- A moving cost depends upon various factors such as the volume of goods, distance between the origin and destination location, and the services (packing, unpacking, loading, unloading, etc) that you have opted for are the three primary factors indulged in a move. Depending upon the items that you need to move, services you have chosen, and distance between both the places, the moving vendors are going to compute rates and moving expenses.

Even if you want to start a discussion with a capable mover, you have to share the complete list of items that you wish to get packed and moved.

So, it's better you start working on your list of inventory and sort out the articles you want to move, sell, or discard. The moment you take a pen and start preparing a list, you will be happy to see how many items are there that you actually don’t need anymore.

It is basically an opportunity to get rid of such items. Even if you use a few items, it is not going to be used rather it is going to increase your unnecessary moving charges and take up extra space at your home too. Therefore, have a proper look at every article kept in your house and make a detailed list of items that you wish to relocate, sell, or discard.

For goods, that you wish to throw away, you can simply give them to the people who are in need, more than you do.

Step 2: Select and schedule a tentative date for your move- Once you have figured out what to move and whatnot, the next step is to finalize an estimated day of your move. It’s extremely important because the moving companies may be pre-booked and hence it is essential to decide a tentative moving date for your home relocation. When you will start the discussion with the local moving companies, the first thing that they would like to make sure is that they are available to provide packing and moving services on that particular date. If they are already booked, then they may not turn up on the final moving day. And secondly, when you have a deadline in your mind, you are most likely to follow the entire process of moving more efficiently. For instance, getting your home ready before deciding a date for your move is a good way to execute things. Also, if you are not aware of the accurate moving date then you have an option to book a slot tentatively which means any day of your choice which you think you can move in and around to its nearby dates.

Also, this gives movers and packers an idea that you will be moving that particular week in which you have tentatively chosen a moving date. And they prepare themselves based on the same.

Step 3: Request price quotations from the best local moving companies- Once you know what you have to move along with an estimated date, you are perfectly ready to seek professional packing and moving assistance from packing and moving companies located near you. Search for the companies who have specialization in offering local shifting services in your city, from 3 of the top-rated companies. It’s important to take price estimations from at least 3 moving companies because you don’t want to pick someone randomly who is not even worth shifting your goods.

Discussing with different vendors will help you to understand the process more deeply. Moreover, with multiple options available to you, you will have the power to negotiate and choose the company which is offering services within your budget. Also, it will ensure that you have got a better deal and you may end up saving even more.

Step 4: Make sure your new home is ready before the deadline- Even if you relocating within the same city, it is essential to make sure that your new home is perfectly ready making it simple for you to settle in. It’s common that no one wants to get into the situation where your current lease is expiring and the new home is not ready yet for moving and even surviving. This is one of the major benefits of planning your move early and finalizing a moving date and decides that it will work for you. In case, your house is not ready, and your ongoing house rental contract is expiring, you can always use household storage services available with these packing and moving professionals.

Step 5: Finalize your moving partners for the day of your move- And now when you have quotations from different moving companies, you can compare and go through all the offers evaluate the quotations that you have received from diverse movers. While choosing a moving professional for meeting your local shifting needs, you should always pay attention to the licensing documents and certifications of the movers, overall quality of service and packing material, and obviously, the costs and charges that they charge.

Once you have prepared your mind and decided on which moving company to opt for, you can confirm the date with your hired Agarwal packers and movers and start preparing for the final day of the move.

These 5 tips are the key to a successful and hassle-free relocation experience, following them by adding them into your plan for an upcoming move.

Have a happy Move!
