Based on my personal experience and the
number of calls we receive everyday at Sharma Packers and Movers, this seems to
be the most frequently asked question. Every third caller who calls our
helpline no, want to know the charges and costs of hiring a movers and packers
for shifting.
Most often the person on the call from the
other side, want to find the rates and costs of hiring movers services.
But since rates of movers and packers services usually depend on different
parameters like distance, volume of goods, credentials of the movers and also
on the situation aka urgency level of the user, it’s difficult to answer this
question straight away. There is no specific rate card and hence rates of
movers could easily vary from case to case basis.
It’s
not possible to know about costs of hiring movers, without even explaining
about the goods that you want to pack and move and from which city in India to
which city.
Although
it’s hard to get exact rates for shifting needs without surveying and
understanding the need of a customer, I am going to try and explain the way
movers prepare estimates quotes for common services.

More
or less that’s pretty much what a movers and packers will charge you.
Now
if you look at it, nearly all of the cost heads will vary depending on;
·
The volume of goods – Packing materials, handling charge,
insurance, transportation etc will vary depending on goods.
·
Distance – Distance matters when you are moving
and it affects transportation charges. It may apply for storage service as well
because goods have to be transported from your house to their warehouse for
storage.
·
Insurance – Since we are talking of all the
parameters, we can’t ignore the costs of insuring your goods against any damage
during transportation. Movers and packers in India offer two types of insurance
and that’s costs differently. Cost of insurance will depend on the commercial
value of goods and it may be charges @1.5 % in case of transit insurance and
@3% of the declared value for full inclusive insurance.
Those
are the key parameters other than some miscellaneous costs like handling and
applicable taxes. Like octroi or toll tax may not be applicable for storage or
local house shifting services, but same may be applicable in case of interstate
relocation. When you are hiring movers and packers for storage service
then the period of storage matters and cost of storage service will vary
accordingly.
