Question 12

What is pre-move survey And, why is it necessary

Accepted Answer

The survey is the correct way of obtaining information to prepare a quotation for your move. If you hire a reliable Moving company, they will send their expert team who will reach your house at a discussion time and date during the call. They will examine your home with you from beginning to endpoint room by room basis, observing and they will make a list of the items you would like to move. This also helps packing and movers in identifying type of transporation vehicle required, how much packing material needed etc. Benefits: 1. You can discuss with the mover face to face and know how they will complete your whole shifting process. 2. You can also clear all your doubts regarding charges, any hidden cost which is not mentioned in your quotation. 3. Ask them whether they will provide you with warehouse services or not. ( if you are having long-distance shifting). 4. It's better to discuss with them in the beginning, if you want any additional services like; assembling, reassembling of your furniture, etc.

Question 13

Which point we should keep in mind while selecting packers and movers

Accepted Answer

1. Authenticity A genuine company will have all the licenses and documents in place. They will even carry a few copies with them when they come to meet you. The bills generated need to have registration numbers and you can also check their trade licenses and service tax details. 2. Background Check Ask them for details of their past customers. Do not rely on the testimonials on their website or their client list. Speak to actual people who have used their services in the past and check how qualified they are in packaging. 3. Experience Are they new to the market and business or have been in the industry for long? While you consider this point, you can also refer to the first two points. If the movers and packers are new but have a good list of satisfied customers, competitive rates, and all documentation in place, it is worth the try. Often, experienced and big brands take small shifting projects for granted and do not provide quality service. Be clear of your expectations and convey them to the vendor. If you are moving a commercial set-up from one location to another, your requirements will be different as compared to moving homes. Understand whether the movers and packers have experience in commercial space-shifting or packing and moving household stuff before you finalize. 4. Team of Workers Does the company provide its team of skilled packers or have they outsourced the task? If they have subcontractors, then you must have clear communication of the number of people coming for packing and their names and ids. This is of utmost importance for your safety. Also, using stretch films, corrugated sheets, and managing the placement of different items in corrugated boxes isn't an easy task. The Packers need to be experienced in it. A skilled team will complete your work in a shorter duration and with more finesse ensuring a smooth movement. 5. Cost This is an important criterion for choosing movers and packers. The regular exercise of comparing competitor rates is the first approach. Don't go with the first vendor who provides you the lowest rate. Your decision must be based on the above criteria too.

Question 14

Which shifting requirements to tell movers

Accepted Answer

Packers and movers do a really good job in Packing, unpacking, loading, unloading goods. However you should avoid transporting Pets, plants and expensive items like jewelry.

Question 15

Do you pay movers before or after

Accepted Answer

During the peak shifting season (March to September), many genuine packers and movers in India request a down payment as they are in high demand during the peak time. The advance money being paid to the service providers more or less acts as insurance that if you cancel the agreement with them, then they will have some sort of compensation and do not suffer from any loss. It is not uncommon for most of the shifting companies in India to ask for a certain percentage of down payment. However, it is also important to note that not all the service providers request for advance money, it largely depends upon company to company. If we look into the law, if a packers and movers company has a rule of taking money in advance, then it must state it clearly in its terms and conditions.

Question 25

Do packers and movers pack everything

Accepted Answer

Yes, Mostly try to pack everything except few not allowed items. It is important to understand that packers will never try to determine what is trash or which items that should not be packed. They will enter your home and pack it as they find it. It's best, then, that you are ready for their arrival by ensuring that all trash, newspapers, magazines and items for Goodwill that you do not want to move have been removed from your home prior to the day of service. You'll also want to make sure your laundry is clean and removed from the washer and dryer, and that your dishwasher is empty. Remember, packers pack what they see throughout the home so packers will not check the washer, dryer or dishwasher. Lastly, If you intend to take any items with you personally, set aside a room or closet for those items and label that room as do not pack or going with us. However shifting of gas cylender, wines, and material not allowed by govt. cannot be shipped with packers and movers.

Question 26

What items Cannot be moved by movers

Accepted Answer

Plants. One of the things that long distance movers won't move is plants. It is illegal to transport plants more than 150 miles without a special license. This is because pests, such as the emerald ash borer or other predators, can hitch a ride on your house plant and allow those pests to be introduced into a new area. Hazardous materials. You may not stop to consider them as hazardous, but paint, aerosol cans, paint thinner, batteries, fire extinguishers and other such items. Most movers, including Red Ball, will give you a list of the hazardous materials that movers won't move. However, a good rule of thumb is that if you can't ship it or dispose of it in your regular trash collection, your movers probably won't be able to move it. The best plan is to use up such items before you move and dispose properly of the ones that are left over. Perishable food. It just makes sense; movers won't move anything that will spoil, such as perishable food, frozen food or open containers. It's best to consume what you can before the move and/or move your frozen food in a cooler yourself. Explosives. Of course! It's a given that movers won't move ammunition, black powder, primers, propellants, or even souvenir explosives you may have collected. Pets. Do we really have to say this? Take your pet(s) in the car or the plane with you. Pets are just another of the things movers won't move. Flammable items. These are also hazardous materials, so use up or discard appropriately any kerosene, charcoal, lighter fluid, paint remover and the like before the move. Corrosives. Items such as muriatic acid, nitric acid and batteries with acid, are items that movers won't move. If moving any batteries make sure they are the non spillable gel-type. Valuables. Valuables, such as cash, important documents, jewelry and stock certificates have no place in a moving van. While these items aren't technically among the things movers won't move, it just doesn't make sense to risk losing them amid your other possessions during the move. Power Equipment with Fuel. The list of things movers won't move also includes power equipment with fuel in the tank. This includes motorcycles, lawn mowers, weed eaters, and so forth. Before movers will move these items, you must drain the fuel or run the item(s) until the fuel reserve is completely empty. Be sure to do this at least 24 hours before loading. Special Items. Red Ball is different! Some movers decline to move extremely heavy items, such as grand pianos, pool tables and hot tubs. Red Ball is a full service household goods mover that can move just about anything, including your car, piano, pool table and so forth.

Question 27

Should I empty drawers when moving

Accepted Answer

Yes, Empty your drawers, armoires, and desks Not only does it make the item heavier for your movers, it can also pose a danger with sliding drawers and shifting content.

Question 28

Do movers disassemble beds

Accepted Answer

If your move is considered a long-distance move, (over 100 miles or state to state) movers will charge for the service by the weight.

Question 33

Accepted Answer

Yes, some packers movers provide you electrician services. It will be extra cost though.

Question 34

How do I prepare my house for a Packer

Accepted Answer

Clean and organize. Laundry, dishes, tools and other items pack and move easier when they're not a mess. Purge! Go through and pull stuff that you can trash, give away or donate. Remove these items before the packers arrive, or gather it all into one pile and clearly mark it "DO NOT MOVE!" Pull items that you'll move yourself. These normally include medicines/toiletries, enough clothing for the move duration, personal items (electronics/chargers/books), work stuff, jewelry and hazardous items that packers and movers won't touch. Pack these things ahead of time, or clearly mark them. Organize and label rooms. Have all your master bathroom items in your master bathroom, for example, and use signs to mark every room so the packers can mark boxes accordingly. If a large item will switch rooms in the new house, just mark it with its own label. Back it up. Use portable hard drives (that you keep with you) or cloud storage to back up any important computers, tablets, etc. Mark high-value items as such. Whether it's a truly valuable vintage record player, or an old music box that has more sentimental value than collector value, this tells packers and movers to take extra care with these items. De-clutter. Packing moves faster if the team has surfaces to work on (tables, countertops, etc.) that are clean and open. Walk the walk & talk the talk. Tell the packing team your expectations and make sure you're available if they have questions. Walk through your home before and after the packing job and make sure it's all done to your satisfaction. Prepare for a snack attack. Everyone loves snacks. Have some cold water or lemonade and some cookies or granola bars available to the packing team. Warm chocolate chip cookies earn extra points.

Question 35

Do you feed movers
