Packers and Movers in JP Nagar 2nd Phase

A 1 BHK is usually Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500, a 2 BHK Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,500 and a larger house Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000 for a local move. A large collection of fine crockery adds packing time, which the survey accounts for.

Each plate is wrapped on its own in clean paper and stood on its edge in a strong carton, not laid flat. Cups and bowls are wrapped individually, handles padded, and crumpled paper cushions the top and bottom of every carton.

A plate standing on its edge is at its strongest, and the weight is shared along the row. Stacked flat, the bottom plate carries the whole stack, and a bump in the road can crack it.

Better not. Newsprint ink can transfer to glazed crockery and fine china, and it takes washing to remove. Plain packing paper keeps the plates clean and wraps just as well.

Strong, double walled cartons, small enough that one person can lift a full one easily. Large cartons of crockery get too heavy and are more likely to be dropped or to have their base give way.

Each glass is wrapped separately with extra padding around the stem, which is the weakest part. They travel upright in a carton with dividers, or with crumpled paper between them so no two glasses touch.

Only after each cup is wrapped. Unwrapped cups nested together chip at the rim. Handles get extra padding, because a handle is where a cup most often breaks.

Pack it into its own cartons, marked with the set's name or colour and a count, such as one of three. It arrives complete and can go straight back into the same cabinet.

If you have time, yes. Laying the good china out on a table makes it easier and safer to pack, and the empty cabinet can then be wrapped and moved without anything rattling inside.

Light enough for one person to lift and carry comfortably. Crockery is heavy for its size, so small cartons are better. A heavy carton is more likely to be set down hard.

Somewhere they will not have anything heavy placed on them, usually higher in the stack or against a secure wall. The fragile and this way up markings tell the crew how to load them.

They go at the bottom of the carton, wrapped and padded, with lighter plates and bowls above. Large platters sometimes need their own carton or a sheet of board on each side.

Yes, with the same care as any fine china. It is thin and light, so individual wrapping and plenty of padding matter even more. Tell us at survey so the right material comes with the crew.

Clay pots are brittle and heavy. They are wrapped thickly, packed with padding inside and around them, and kept apart from metal vessels that could knock against them.

For sets of glasses and cups, dividers inside the carton help a lot, because they stop pieces touching each other. Ask at survey and we will bring cartons suited to your collection.

Longer than most families expect, because every piece is wrapped individually. The surveyor looks at the cabinet and cupboards and builds that time into the plan.

You can, if you follow the same method, individual wrapping, plates on edge and strong cartons. Many families pack everyday crockery themselves and leave the fine china to the crew.

Point it out to the supervisor before the crew leaves, with a photograph. Transit insurance on declared value can cover damage in transit, which is why declaring a valuable dinner set matters.

Those are sturdy and do not need the same care. They can be packed more densely, which is a useful way to fill a carton around a few heavier kitchen items.

Everyday plates and cups, yes, from the last carton packed. The fine china can wait until the display cabinet is in place and cleaned, so it goes straight back on the shelves.

Yes, we offer storage in Bangalore on a monthly basis, priced on volume. Crockery stores well if it is packed properly in strong cartons that will not sag under others.

Point it out at survey. Old pieces may already have hairline cracks that open under pressure, so they get extra padding and sometimes a carton of their own.

The teapot is the tricky piece, because of the spout and lid. The lid is wrapped and packed separately, the spout padded, and the pot stands upright with padding all round.

A week to ten days is usually enough for a local move, longer at month end. Mention a large crockery collection when you book, so enough packing time is planned.

Yes. Intercity moves are priced per kilometre, roughly Rs 15 to Rs 28 depending on vehicle size and load. On a long journey crockery packing matters even more, because the cartons ride for hours.

Transit insurance is available on the declared value of your goods. Include the value of fine china and heirloom sets when you declare, so they are covered properly.

Lofts often hold the extra sets used for festivals and guests. Bring them down before packing day if you can, or show the crew so they can be packed with the same care.

Not the fine sets. They are safest in their cartons until the cabinet or cupboard is in place, cleaned and dry. What causes breakages after a move is a half unpacked carton left open on the floor where somebody steps on it.
