packers and movers
delhi If you are moving from a 2 +
bed house then you're going to have a fair amount of household goods and
personal effects to take with you, even at first glance you might think that
there isn't much however as soon as you start packing and the boxes start to
tower over you, you will realise how much stuff you actually have. Experienced
removal men are trained to carefully handle your goods, lift heavy items
correctly as well as having all the equipment required to get the job done
safely and efficiently. They know how to make the most out of the space
available in the removal vehicle meaning a move that could take you 3-4 trips
would take an experienced removal man just 1-2 trips.
2. Parking where the removal
van needs to be
If you are parked on the
drive then you may want to consider moving your car so that the removal vehicle
can be backed up as close as possible to the entrance of the house, it only
takes a few minutes and it can save your removal men a lot of time and energy
meaning the job will be done faster. If you live on a busy road or somewhere
with restricted parking then consider contacting your local council and
informing them of your move so that they can put in measures to help you, or
politely advise your neighbours of you move and ask them to save you space.
3. Using un-insured man and
van services
You may see an old white van
from time to time offering man and van services, you need to be careful when
approaching these sole traders as its often they cut corners to save money so
they can offer far cheaper quotes. Because of the low amount they charge it's
quite often that they will not arrive on the moving date if the weather
conditions aren't perfect or they can't easily park outside your house. They
are not there to offer a great service; they are there just to make a quick
buck. Not all van and mans have regular appearances on rouge traders however,
you may find an honest man and van who offers a good service, to be sure just
check there reviews and if possible talk to someone else they have moved in the
past.
4. Not packing boxes
correctly
The last thing you want to
do is place all your fine china together in one loosely taped box with no
padding and no markings to show which way it should be kept up or that the
contents are fragile. No removal company would take any liability if those
items were damaged because of the lack of care and attention gone into packing
by the customer. All boxes with fragile items should be clearly marked with
arrows showing which way the box should be kept upright and sufficient padding
should be used.
5. Not telling your removal
firm about all your items you're moving
When calling up a removal
company for a quotation, they will often ask you to go through the amount of
items that you have so that they can work out the amount of staff you will
need, the size of the van required and how many trips it will take. All these
are key factors of your quote including the distance required to travel so fuel
expenses can be worked out. If you try to get your quote reduced by missing a
lot of your goods out then it will only bite you back on moving day when you
get one driver and a small transit van for your 3 bed house. Not only would it
take all day but you would have to make additional payments for overtime and
additional trips needed. Quite often though the driver will refuse the job if
they believe that a larger team is required and you will have to book in for
another day with the correct amount of staff and a larger removals vehicle.
