Going all the way from Mumbai to Visakhapatnam is quite a distance. For someone like you who is planning a household move between these two cities, must not take chance and immediately book the packers and movers in Mumbai. Since the distance is more, the hassle and hurdles along the way would also be more. But there is absolutely nothing to worry about because we have also got a great long-distance moving plan for you, that you can follow and enjoy your relocation at its best!
• Plan your finances sensibly
Keeping in mind the monetary aspect is extremely crucial. This is something you have to plan and prepare well, regardless of whether you are moving a short distance or a longer one. If you have decided upon a specific date for your move, make sure you start saving money early on because, for long-distance moves, the cost that you pay is also over-the-top! Depending on the moving distance, the moving load, you can at least draw an aggregate estimate of your move.
• Create a great moving plan
When it comes to moving, the foremost plan is always devised by us and the final moving plan gets chalked out once everything has been finalized post a clear-cut discussion with the moving professionals. They also come over for a detailed in-house goods survey before providing us with the exact moving cost. Once all the pre-moving formalities are taken care of, and all the moving needs have been assessed, we get the final copy of our moving strategy that we follow throughout the moving journey.
• Keep distance factor in mind
Although more or less, any kind of relocation is similar because every home-shifting involves the same level of preparation and responsibilities to be taken care of. The only difference is that when you plan for long-distance, the amount of planning and provision remains on the higher side. You have to be more cautious and ensure your packing is excellent and can withstand long-distance. Moreover, the essentials bag has to be formulated carefully keeping in mind the extended distance.
• Book the professionals timely
When you have the moving plan, and even the finances have been determined to some extent, it is better to get some clarity about the relocation from the professional moving team directly. Give a call to the shortlisted movers, and finalize the one that seems to acknowledge your moving needs aptly. Do check the website for more details related to the terms and conditions. Rates, moving services, value-added services, packing support, 24*7 ‘customer support’ are the other requisites you must look out for.
• Evaluate moving requirements
While you discuss everything with the professionals, inquire about everything related to your move, for example – the time, and the packing materials cost, the moving equipment cost, labor and moving vehicle expenses, etc. If you have storage items, you need to discuss the storage services costs as well. Since storage fees are usually on the higher side, make sure you take note of everything – from the cost of renting a storage cube to the cost you will pay for the entire duration of your goods upkeep in their storage.
• Determine the moving weight
No matter how strictly the professionals quote you about the requisites of the long-distance move, it will ultimately be you who will determine what your moving weight would be and how much you will pay for the move. So, make sure you act sensibly and move only the needful stuff. Packing and moving everything in the household shall not only increase the moving load but you will end up draining your money irrationally. So, pay attention to de-cluttering before the move so you can travel with lesser load and in less stress.
• Prioritize on quality packing
When you have booked the moving experts from a reputed moving company, you can be sure of quality moving assistance from them. Regardless of whether you do the packing of some items or let the experts only handle everything; make sure the quality of packing remains uncompromised. We know specialty items require extra care, whereas the furniture and fittings call for unique handling and protective packing support – so make sure every single item in your household gets the right kind of packing so they remain safe and secure until delivery.
• Do the needful preparations
To make sure your long-distance move happens without any disturbance, invest in quality packing materials. Pack whatever you think you can pack efficiently. Alongside, do not forget to curate an overnight essentials bag so you can keep the basics with you throughout the journey. We would also advise you to keep your high-value items like jewelry and accessories and anything that holds extreme value in your life closer to you in a separate bag to ensure they remain completely safe.
• Curate your document binder
While most customers try to create the document binder much before they plan the rest of their moving chores, but you can create it once you have addressed the major moving tasks (the ones we mentioned above) well. For the document folder, you will need to have your license, passport, insurance and agreement papers, health papers, and legal documents, with you. Also keep your office documents, vehicle and house papers, birth and marriage certificates, and copies of passport size photographs of you and your family members in the folder.
• Take note of additional costs
When the professionals – the movers and packers in Mumbai quote you with the moving cost and handover you the moving agreement, make sure you read out each and everything that it mentions – all the terms and clauses. Since long-distance moves are expensive, you can keep a tab on the moving expenses and additional costs that often crop up during the move, so you can figure out if there is something you need to discuss with the experts.
Long-distance relocations are an experience in itself. To make sure the event turns out happy and stress-free for you, make sure to pin your ears back to the tips we shared in this post and breathe easy!
