The most important factor in Relocation is to choose a right Packer and Mover service provider. If you are relocating for first time it becomes all the more difficult. There are thousands of packers and movers available in your area. All are claiming to be genuine. So how to choose the right one?
You need to be very smart to get to the right mover. It starts from your first interaction. A right Packer and Mover will converse with you in a civilized tone. Ask the following questions.
1.Where is your office located?
2. How many vehicles you have of your own?
3. What is your team size?
4. Are you a private limited company?
5. For how many years you are working in this field?
6. What is your specialty?
7. How much time will it take to pack and shift my goods from Place A to Place B?
8. Check the google reviews
9. If they claim to own a vehicle ask them to share Registration certificate of the vehicle which must be in the name of the company and not individual
10. Ask for the picture of the vehicle and check the number plate and cross check the same with Registration certificate
11. Ask for the quotation
12. Check that the quotation is on letterhead which must have CIN(Company Identification Number) issued by Govt of India,GST Number and complete address of the company
13. If possible go and visit the office of the Packer and Mover,this will give you a glimpse of the packer as to which sort of employees he is having,the way they deal with the customers
14. Will he provide insurance?
15. If yes, what are the terms and conditions of the insurance?
16. The insurance terms are very important or else you will not get any money in case something goes wrong
17. Do not go for the lowest quotation. Most of the fake packers and movers give the lowest quotation and once they have their goods in their possession they start asking more money on some or other pretext
18. Try to look into the breakup of the total cost. The total cost includes labour,packaging material and transportation cost
19. Ask for GST billing which will help you in getting your Insurance claim easily
20. Most of the customers go for 5% GST which is not correct as per GST law. 5% GST is applicable if you are utilizing only transportation. If you use packaging,loading and unloading than it comes under services for which the GST is 18%. So for 5% GST the description must be “Transportation Charges” and for 18% GST it must be “Packing,Loading/Unloading and Transportation”
21. There are many lead generating companies which recommend the packers and movers. Please do not believe them 100%. Its always better to pick the packer and mover who is directly involved in the business
