This is the very first questions that you have to answer the moment you know you have to move your home. But answering these questions is really not easy and it depends more on your situation like how much time you have to move? What’s the volume of items that is to be moved? Are you moving locally or from a metro or bigger city to a bigger city? And so on. Let me help you find a suitable answer for this question.
Let me ask you a simpler question now. Do you really think you want to save some money even if you have to work a little hard to pack and move all your goods yourself? If you think you have sufficient time to plan everything and also want to save money, then you should consider doing it of your own without hiring a packers and movers company.
But if you think you don’t have enough time to procure packing materials, and pack all your items and then move it, in that case consider hiring a packers and movers service provider to help you. This option would be a little costlier, but you won’t be taking any stress except finding and hiring a good moving and Relocation Company.
Now lets assume you want to do the packing and moving by yourself, in that case, you have to:
- Procure Packing Materials from a local store
- Pack all your items by yourself. You can do this slowly if you have time in hand.
- While packing goods, you have to ensure all your goods are packed properly, especially items that could easily get damaged.
- Once goods are packed, you have to label them
- Buy transit insurance for your goods. Insurance is a must no matter if you are doing it or if you have hired a movers and packers company
- Arrange a trucking company and labor to load all your goods into the truck
- Once your goods are moved, you have to reach destination before the truck reaches there, and arrange labors to unload those materials
- After unloading, you have to unpack and re-arrange all items
This is all that a professional moving company will be doing when you hire them. As far as cost is concerned, you will be saving on packing charges mainly. As rest of the expenses still be there. So unless money is a big constraint you should hire a professional packers and movers to help you in shifting your home.
