If you living in tier one cities, chances are there are hundreds of packers and movers in your city. But do you really think most of them are good and suitable for your relocation? Can you rely on them? If your answer is yes, think again.
Due to no barrier to start a moving company, any one and every one after working for six months claim to be the no.1 moving company in India. You better spend some time in screening and verifying packers and movers companies in India before you ask them to come and survey. I am going to share a few questions that you should ask a moving company before even asking them to come and survey your goods.
Branch and Sub Contracting
Ask them if they have their own branch in your local city as well as the destination. Are they going to handle it all of their own or they will be involving a sub contractor at the destination?
Registration
Since this is a Service Business any one with a little experience will claim to be the no.1 moving company in India. But the truth is, they probably don’t have a trade license. So ask if their company is really registered?
Do they have Door to Door Services
Are they offering door-to-door service? This is very important because if they leave your goods in their warehouse and ask you to do the transfer, then you are in a mess. Always prefer movers with door-to-door service facility.
Insurance
Are they offering insurance and from which company? How much of coverage and what’s the scope of insurance and procedure to make.
Rates and Estimates
Ask them if they are gong to offer you complete relocation services and if they are okay to offer you a complete detailed breakup wise estimate to you? Is their any hidden cost like tipping the labor at the time of unloading goods?
Storage and Warehousing
Are they capable of offering you storage and warehousing for a week or so of need arises. You never know, you may need this and good moving companies offer a complimentary storage for up to a week or so.
References of Past Clients
Are they okay to show you and connect you to a few of their past customers. Can they actually show you the testimony of their past customers.
Customer Support System
Do they have a dedicated customer Support number where you can call them as and when required? Once your goods are moved, you should be able to track the status of the transit. So make sure they pick phone and provide you exact status
Consider asking these questions before you hire Packers and Movers in India. Hope these tips help you filter good and professional packing and moving agencies. Wish you happy moving.
