There is a home relocation scheduled in the upcoming month and you are bundling up everything around you to prepare those boxes. You are not convinced with the idea of hiring movers but someone suggested you go for Agarwal Packers because they have got every possible resource vital to conduct a move flawlessly! In case you have never moved with them or heard about them, then know that they are India’s largest moving company and also one of the most revered ones in the league of other movers. They have got extensive relocation infrastructure and equipment, and an efficient workforce who have the adeptness of pulling off house moving assignments extraordinarily.

In this blog, we would talk about what all the professionals of the company advise the people who are moving with them. So, without any delay, let’s just get started:

1. Research your new location: Before you move, it's essential to research your new location thoroughly. Learn about the area's climate, housing costs, job market, schools, transportation, and amenities to get a sense of what your new life will look like.

2. Plan your budget: Moving can be expensive, so it's crucial to plan your budget carefully. Consider the cost of hiring movers, renting a truck, and any other expenses, such as storage units or packing supplies.

3. Declutter and organize: Moving is an excellent opportunity to declutter your belongings and organize your possessions. Take some time to go through your things, decide what you want to keep, donate or sell items you no longer need, and pack efficiently.

4. Update your address and important documents: Before you move, make sure to update your address with the post office, your bank, credit card companies, and other important institutions. You should also make copies of important documents, such as your driver's license, passport, and insurance policies.

5. Pack carefully: When packing, make sure to label boxes, use sturdy packing materials, and pack fragile items carefully. Consider using professional packing services for delicate or valuable items.

6. Make a checklist and timeline: Moving involves many tasks, so it's helpful to make a checklist and timeline to stay organized. Break down tasks by week or day and prioritize the most critical items.

7. Start your search for moving vendors – If you are open to exploring a few more options for a suitable moving company, other than the one we suggested, you have to begin your research with a few priorities set. You should know your moving budget; you should have a tentative plan in mind so you know what kind of deal would be best for you. Always review the registration details of the company to know if the mover is authentic and has a fully-established operational unit. At the same time, you should also check if the company is licensed and provides moving coverage provisions to its customers.

8. Consider to go with references – If you want, you can secure yourself from the long hassle of researching and shortlisting movers. For that you will have to talk to your friends and colleagues who you think may help you in your decision of hiring movers. Many of your associates would have experienced relocations with them and so, resorting to their references would help. At the same time, do not forget to clarify your concerns with them – whatever you want to ask – about the rates, the packing, the special belongings, the storage goods, etc.

9. Consolidate your belongings – You must know that keeping the synchronization of the packing tasks, the moving inventory, or any other thing is extremely important. Whatever task you perform, whichever good you pack, you should keep in mind to consolidate everything at the end. It should not be like items from one room are going in multiple boxes and no ideal packing sequence is being followed. Perform all the tasks including sorting, de-cluttering, packing, and unpacking carefully – when a task gets over, quickly consolidate them with other closed tasks.

10. Busting some myths – Relocating alone, without the professional movers is not a great way to start a move. Planning and plotting things before the project is fine but when it comes to the laborious tasks like packing belongings and boxing them up within the moving boxes, performing the lifting, shifting, loading, and unloading of the cartons, it is always good to trust the experts. For all those who feel a DIY move is fun, here are a few things you must know if going for a DIY move ever crossed your mind (which it did!) – They do cost you big money, they are physically draining, there are risks involved, and above all, it brings in several challenges.

11. About packing and more – You can easily explore practical moving tips while you are packing things on your own, once you collect some from the internet. But apart from that, there will be a lot more things that would play extremely crucial roles in the journey of your move. You should pay attention to that as well.

12. Prioritize productivity – If the professionals join you on board, you will see your move happen in absolute proficiency. They are super quick in their job and they know the most effective procedures to pull off the task efficiently. Think how would have it been had you chosen a DIY move and not a professionally conducted relocation.

13. Take part in the duties – Simply overseeing the packing tasks, and sourcing essentials are not enough. You should look forward to the final day of your move more than anything else, when you will be checking everything around you and ticking off the list of packed items, closed tasks, etc. from your multiple prepared lists. Lastly, you should inspect the delivered goods when the movers are processing the unloading task. Be there. Be involved.

We hope you will enjoy referring to these tips and make your forthcoming move one of the most memorable experiences ever. Do not forget to thank the team of Agarwal Movers and Packers who were there to help you in your journey. Have a good time!
