DO'S & DON'TS

For those, who are facing problems in shifting their homes, offices or studios from one place to another, we are here to help. RK Cargo Packers and Movers. makes sure that "Nothing other than the place changes..." as we clearly understand how tedious and stressful packing and moving can be. This stress could even result in total disaster sometimes, if certain important things are not kept in mind. On the contrary, if the act of packing is made efficiently and intelligently, moving can be made much simpler.

The Do’s

  • The primary step that counts is the advance planning of your move.

  • The next comes in this list is making a checklist to avoid any problem in future.

  • Then comes the Sensible Packing that means to assemble all the tools and objects that you are going to need at the time of packing. For this purpose, first make a list of all your requirements, including all the primary as well as other objects; starting with the boxes.

  • Make use of uniformly sized boxes, so that they stack together neatly. As for the big boxes, start with a small number, now double that number for the medium-sized boxes that can easily be stacked on top of these big boxes, and add a very large number of small boxes (as they serve the maximum of our purpose).

  • These boxes should be sturdy, durable as they will be holding up through multiple moves, keeping your things intact and safe, and making your investment worth the money.

  • Moreover, to easily identify which box contains what items, labeling wih appropriate stickers is necessary.

  • A zero-transshipment to prevent breakage should also be kept in mind.

  • The vehicle that is going to be used for the relocation and moving should be properly made ready for long distance, so that no delays or hampering could be faced during the traveling of the delicate and priceless belongings.

  • Proper arrangements of insurance of goods that needs to be travelled should be made, so that if any road accident, loss or theft happens then you can claim your approximate value.

The Don’ts

  • Don't rush to the act of packaging without a proper layout that may lead to the skipping of small but crucial steps in the packing procedure.

  • The fragile items or the delicate ones should not be packed along with the durable or heavier ones.

  • Loose bundling of the boxes or the items inside may also lead to the breakage or damage of the goods being packed and moved.

  • The vehicle or the mode of transportation that is being finalized for the shifting purpose must have passed all the necessary clearance and undergone proper servicing, so that real time chaos can be avoided.

  • At least one personnel from the company that you are hiring for the shifting should accompany your goods till the destination location.

  •  Do not rush while hiring packing and moving company otherwise you will be caught in the trap of false promises and fake services.

  • Avoid getting attracted towards discounted offers from the moving firm as it is one of the ways through which your precious money will be lost.

  • In case you have a huge volume of goods then do not rent trucks or trailers that have less space otherwise you have to spend more money in making more than one moving trip.

  • Do not pack and move your furniture or electrical appliances (if applicable) without dismantling because it will increase the burden on packing boxes.

  • It is advisable not to mix up packed and unpacked items together. By doing so, your most of the time will be consumed.
