Here are few important things you must keep in mind before shifting your home, that can actually help you lower your relocation expenses:
Declutter Goods: The volume of goods you are moving is the main factor that impacts other factors like size of truck, amount of packing supplies needed, number of laborers required, and so on. Sort out and get rid of unwanted goods to reduce your moving cost.
Select Right Moving Day: To save immensely on the inflated rate charged by the packers and movers, choose weekdays (Monday-Thursday) or mid-month (5th to 25th of the month) to shift. Because weekends (Friday-Sunday) and month-ends (25th of this month to 5th of next month) are very expensive time to plan your relocation, as the demand on these days is very high.
Get Cost Estimations: Every packing moving service provider has its own way of calculating charges. So contact at least 3-5 movers and packers to get cost estimations and compare them with each other based on factors like brand reputation, offered services, price quotes, etc., before choosing the best match shifting company based on your budget and requirements.
Negotiate With Movers: Don’t accept cost estimations offered by the packing companies as it is; smartly negotiate with them to reduce the shifting charges. You must also check and make sure that they have not included any hidden charges in the invoice handed over to you.
Manage Your Utilities: In the excitement of moving to your dream home, you overlook disconnecting/ transfer of your utility service and end up paying bills for the services you haven't used. To avoid this contact your utility service provider like Wi-Fi, LPG agency, DTH, magazine company, etc., and disconnect or transfer your services.
Prepare Your Goods: To avoid paying for the repairs of your electronics and appliances, prepare your goods one night before shifting like defrosting the fridge, clicking pictures of furniture, emptying water filters, removing cables from the TV, etc., and prepare your goods for the move.
