Increasing relocation demands have led to the rise of new moving companies starting every year. But the problem is that with so many companies out there it becomes hard to find the best packers and movers. You sometimes end up hiring a company that knows very little about relocation and then regret it.

We know that when you plan to shift your house several things keep bothering you such as the safety of your belongings, budget, time, etc. But no need to worry as we have listed here the list of questions that you can ask the moving company and decide whether or not to hire a particular company.

List of Questions to Ask When Hiring Packers and Movers

Do you have a proper license?

Most of us make a mistake when we don’t ask a moving company about the license details and simply hire them. It is a very important question and you shouldn’t forget it at any cost. Because if the company has no license then your belongings are at risk of theft or damage. Apart from license also request them to share the GST certificate, Company registration details, etc,

Where is your headquarters and what is your permanent address?

You won’t prefer to fall into a situation where you cannot find the moving company’s address and they run away with your belongings. Hence, ask them where their headquarters and warehouse are. Also, check the company background at the same time to know if the company has any history of issues or complaints.

Will you write down the commitment made in the document?

Genuine packers and movers in Bangalore will say ‘Yes’ to your suggestion. If the company is not agreeing to put the commitment into writing that implies that they are not genuine and don’t mean what they say. Never trust such a moving company making commitments in words and not writing.

Are you offering travel insurance for your items?

Ask the moving company this question as it is very important for the safety of your items. Your items are vulnerable to damage no matter if you shift them or packers movers shift them. Having an insurance program that covers all items as provided by the moving company will help in getting compensation if there is any loss of an item.

How did you arrive at this quote, can you provide me with the breakdown of the quote?

Note that different packers and movers will give you an estimation and the prices will vary in each quotation. Have you wondered why there is a difference in the amount and how the packers movers reached the quotation amount? Ask the moving company to share the quotation breakdown with you to get an idea about what they are charging for, and what services are involved in it.

Do you use the new packing materials?

Some packers and movers follow the practice of using already used or old packing material. This is done to save the cost but it is not a fair practice. Hence, you must ask this question to the moving company and ask them what material they are using and if it is fresh material or old material.

What type of gear do you have for loading and unloading?

Today in the market there are various tools available to make the process of sealing, tying, and loading boxes easier. The trolleys make it super easier to stack the boxes and move near the loading vehicle. Top packers and movers have the latest models and types of gears which ensure the items are stacked and loaded correctly without damage.

Are you operating locally?

If you are looking for local house shifting services then ask the packers movers if they are operating locally. There will be no point in reaching out to packers and movers only dealing with domestic relocation when you need local shifting services. Hence, always ask the moving company where they are operating and what type of shifting services they are providing.
