DO & DON'TS

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.

The Do’s

  • Check Reviews & Ratings – Look for customer reviews on Google, Justdial, Yelp, or Trustpilot.
  • Verify Credentials – Ensure the company is registered and has proper licenses.
  • Get Multiple Quotes – Compare prices and services before finalizing a mover.
  • Book Early – Avoid last-minute hassles by booking at least 2-4 weeks before moving.
  • Declutter – Get rid of unwanted items to reduce moving costs.
  • Create an Inventory List – Keep track of your belongings to avoid losses.
  • Confirm Insurance Coverage – Check if your belongings are covered for damages during transit.
  • Understand Liability – Some companies offer basic coverage, while others provide comprehensive insurance.
  • Label Everything – Mark boxes for easy unpacking.
  • Use Quality Packing Materials – Prevent damage with sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape.

  • Confirm Moving Date & Time – Avoid miscommunication on the day of the move.
  • Keep Important Contacts Handy – Have the mover’s contact number saved.

The Don’ts

  • Avoid Unrealistic Low Quotes – If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Hidden charges may follow later.
  • Don’t Skip Background Checks – Cheap services may compromise safety, reliability, and quality.
  • Avoid Last-Minute Hiring – Waiting too long can lead to higher costs and fewer reliable options.
  • Don’t Assume Availability – During peak seasons, slots fill up fast, so book in advance.
  • Skipping Insurance Can Be Costly – Without coverage, you may not be compensated for damages.
  • Don’t Forget to Read the Policy – Understand what’s covered and what’s not.
  • Don’t Overload Boxes – Heavy boxes are hard to carry and may break.
  • Avoid Mixing Fragile & Heavy Items – Pack breakables separately and mark them “FRAGILE.”
  • Don’t Leave Valuables in Moving Boxes – Keep jewelry, important documents, and gadgets with you.
  • Never Sign Without Reading – Read the contract carefully to avoid hidden charges.
  • Don’t Overlook Additional Fees – Ask about extra costs for packing materials, labor, or long-distance transport.
  • Don’t Forget to Keep Essentials Handy – Carry chargers, medication, snacks, and a fresh set of clothes separately.
  • Avoid Relying Entirely on Movers – Supervise the process and do a final check before they leave.
