People these days have become more career oriented than they were ever before and in search of better opportunities they migrate from place to place. They only aim at improving their lifestyle but whatever the reason is, the end result is constant i.e. relocation.

This negligence can cause heavy destruction to your entire movement plan hence it is advisable to hire the best packers and movers Mumbai because relocation is something that requires full planning and management.
A person who is keeping an eye on the whole process of shifting is required to take care of each and everything well to ensure nothing goes wrong at the time of its execution. And the best aid for handling relocation is obviously the moving professionals. They are the knowledgeable people, who are well aware of the hassle attached to a move and can help a person to cope up with the same.
However, we all are well aware of the moving companies and the scams they do to loot the customers. Every other day there is news in the news paper related to the scams that such fraudsters do? Therefore, you need to be more alert while making a choice of a relocating professional while making a move.
Here are few of the suggestions from our side that will help you to know if the movers are genuine or not.
Physical presence- The most important thing that one should examine is the physical presence of the concerned company. Check if they are genuinely established at the address on which they are claiming to be geographically located. And if you have got the proof that the office address is right then you should definitely speak to the people residing nearby. Talk to them and enquire about their presence as it will help you to figure out whether they are trustworthy or not.
Contact numbers- This is another trick that many fraudulent companies use to befool the customers i.e. incorrect contact details. Such companies never give their genuine phone numbers to their clients and this thing is realized by the customers when it’s too late and such movers have already packed and moved their consignment. Thus, you need to keep a check on such minor details, get the phone number of their centralized team, shifting move manager and any member from their core team so that you can get in touch with at least a single genuine person who could help you out on time.
Reviews- We all know that a customer says it all which means the most truthful and genuine feedback of a company can be obtained through the comments and reviews posted by their previous customers. One should monitor company’s official website and other social media platforms; these are the two relevant areas from where you can get the correct information about the authenticity of a company.
Ratings- Business ratings of a company help a person to know whether the company is truthful or not. Thus, check it as well before proceeding further.
References- In this era of digitalization, there are several people who still do not believe in searching through online web portals rather they believe more on the facts that are narrated in front of them. In short, they trust on the words of their relatives, friends or any other person they have been known for a long. Thus, for such people taking references from others could help them to differentiate among the goods and bad relocating companies. Though it is a better option to seek references especially from the experienced people because such people are the one, who could explain their moving experience with a in a simple and precise language. So, apply the same method to your search along with your online enquiry program.
Brand reputation- Reputation of a company is defined with the number of years from which they have been considerably indulged into the business. The experience and brand reputation are inversely connected to each other thus, know about the number of years that they have spent in the transportation business, know about number of relocations that they have successfully executed till date because maximum number of successful moving projects automatically defines the reliability of a company.
Hidden charges- Usually the total amount for the entire move is calculated in the beginning of the movement process mostly at the time of conducting a pre move survey, surveyor gives an estimate of the amount that is needed to be paid by a customer and gives you a computerized quotation for the same as a proof whereas a fraudulent company often charges lesser amount in the beginning and add certain more expenses and almost doubles it at the time of payment and when a customer asks about the same, these companies often name them as hidden charges. But to be honest there is no such term; these are the extra charges that these service providers demands from a customer forcefully. Hence, it is advisable to beware of such practices.
No uniform, ID cards and logo- A well known company has its own logo that works as its trademark and is usually designed over its trucks, worker’s uniform, and packing material and on all other relevant things and areas that a company owns. But an unprofessional, local vendor will not have such things available, thus it is suggested to check the uniforms, ID cards of the packers and logo on the trucks that they will be using for the transportation of your goods because such companies often rent the local tempos to serve their propose of the time being, they don’t have their own trucks and vehicles.
So, these are the few things that you must examine to search and relocate with the reliable movers and packers Mumbai because a good start of research will help you to obtain the goods results in the end.
