3. Cheap
If you compare the moving costs of handling the move yourself versus hiring packer and mover, you will realise that it is cheaper to hire packer and mover service like the ones from UrbanClap. Alone, you will have to spend a lot of time packing all your stuff – physically tiring and mentally stressful hours and days that you would have to take off your work. You would also have to hire a truck or use other cargo carriers. They do not take responsibility for the safety of your belongings and will not be careful with them. They are simply trying to get to a destination on time. On the other hand, a packing and moving service places greater emphasis on the safety of the goods being transported. The time savings alone makes hiring packer and mover the better option. When you add the cost of potential damaged items, it is readily apparent that hiring professionals will make your moving costs much less – both financially and mentally.

They also settle any claims within a matter of days if there is any accidental damage, which rarely ever happens. For example, UrbanClap offers a Rs 10,000- guarantee in case of damages caused during relocation. The fact that your belongings have been insured is the reason you should opt for professionals. They will always pack your goods such that they do not move around and get dislodged, even on Indian roads (and in Indian traffic). This ensures they do not have to hand out avoidable claims. For you, it means transportation safety.

5. Warehousing
This applies mostly when moving to a different city. Usually, such a move means that there is a time gap between when you physically leave your current house and move in to your new address in the new city. If you were to move your stuff by yourself, arranging for warehousing services can be quite a hassle. Safety is a concern too. With professional packers and movers, all your goods will be packed into a single container that can be off-loaded and attached to a different truck. The professional movers you hire will have their own warehousing arrangements where the container (and your belongings) will be stored safely until you are ready to receive it.
Always arrive in style
6. Partial Packing
Sometimes, you make a move in stages. You may go and get a new home ready before your family follows. In some cases, you may shift alone while your family stays behind at the current address. This is quite common when a move might disrupt your children’s school or college schedule. Professional movers offer the option for partial packing and transport of your belongings without disrupting the rest of your belongings. This makes a partial move stress-free and safe.
