Packers & Movers

  Packing materials in the quote

  Bubble wrap, cartons and tape should be quoted upfront. A quote that excludes materials looks cheaper and rarely stays that way once the truck arrives.

  Transit insurance, explicitly offered

  Most movers do not include it by default. Ask specifically, get the terms in writing, and understand what is excluded — cash, jewellery and documents almost always are.

  A written inventory before loading

  Item by item, with condition noted. Without one, a damage claim comes down to your word against theirs.

  Fixed pricing, not an estimate that grows

  A reputable mover surveys the load and quotes a fixed price. "Final billing on arrival" is how legitimate-sounding movers pad the bill.

  A GST-registered, verifiable company

  Check the GSTIN, ask for references, and be wary of a mover with no fixed office address who only communicates by phone.

Varies significantly with floor access, lift availability, and whether packing and unpacking are included.
