Packers and Movers in JP Nagar 4th 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. Using your own suitcases can reduce the number of cartons, which the survey reflects.

Yes, for soft and light things it works very well. Clothes, linen, towels, soft toys and winter wear travel better in a closed suitcase than in a carton. Heavy things should still go in small cartons.

Books, kitchen items, tools, crockery and anything heavy or fragile. The weight can break the handles, wheels or zip, and fragile things have no protection inside a soft bag.

A good rule is the weight you would be comfortable checking in on a flight. Beyond that, handles and wheels start to fail, and the crew is left lifting an awkward, heavy object with no proper grip.

On top of the carton wall or in gaps where their shape fits. Their wheels and rounded corners make them poor at the bottom of a stack, and soft sided bags should always ride near the top.

For stacking, yes, they take some weight on top. Soft sided bags are fine for clothes but should not have anything heavy placed on them. Both work well for soft contents.

Close them firmly and lock or tie them. A small padlock, a cable tie or a luggage strap stops a zip sliding open on the road. Keep the keys in your own bag.

Tie or tape a label to the handle with the room name, such as main bedroom or children's room. Suitcases look alike in a pile, and a label saves opening them all at the other end.

Yes, and it is a very good idea. One case per person with clothes, toiletries, chargers and essentials, kept with the family. Nobody needs to find a carton on the first morning.

They are fine for soft things and very light items. They do not stack well, so they go on top of everything else in the vehicle. Avoid overfilling them so the zips do not burst.

Yes, large suitcases are excellent for bedsheets, blankets and pillow covers. Pillows and quilts themselves are bulky, so they may be better in large bags or big light cartons.

They can reduce the number of cartons needed, and slightly reduce packing time for the crew. The effect depends on how much you pack in them, so mention it at survey.

Tell us at survey. We can pack the suitcases as items and use cartons for their contents instead, so they are ready to use the day you arrive.

For soft things, yes, the crew will simply carry them. Check the zip and handles before filling, because a split zip on the road is worse than a broken wheel.

Yes, packed with soft things and locked. On a long move they may be in the vehicle for several days, so keep anything you need before delivery in your own luggage instead.

They can help fit more clothes into fewer cases. Remember that a compressed suitcase is heavier, so keep an eye on the weight, and avoid compressing woollens or silk for long periods.

Bring them down a few days before packing, check the zips and wheels and air them out. A case that has sat in a damp loft may need a day in the sun before clothes go into it.

Only small, well padded items like a laptop in its sleeve, and even then it is better in your own bag. Suitcases are soft inside, and a knock can damage a screen.

Yes. Each suitcase is counted as an item, labelled and listed. At the other end the count is checked, just like cartons, so nothing goes missing.

Old steel trunks are strong and good for linen and bedding, but they get very heavy when full. Pack them with light things and tell us about them at survey, because they need two people to carry.

It depends on how many cases you have and how much clothing the family owns, so we would rather see the house than guess. The survey gives you a realistic figure.

Yes, if packing is part of the job. Many families prefer to pack their own clothes into their own cases, which is quicker because only they know what goes where.

A week to ten days is usually enough for a local move, longer at month end. It gives you time to bring the suitcases down and start packing clothes early.

Yes. Intercity moves are priced per kilometre, roughly Rs 15 to Rs 28 depending on vehicle size and load.

Yes, transit insurance is available on the declared value of your goods. Suitcases and their contents are included in what you declare.

Yes, we offer storage in Bangalore on a monthly basis, priced on volume. Suitcases packed with off season clothes store well if they are clean and dry.

They fill gaps beside furniture where their shape suits, standing on their base with nothing heavy leaning on them. If a large load of luggage has no safe place, the supervisor will say so and it travels in the next available space.

They can, but most families keep them aside, because the children need their school things and the adults need their laptops the day after the move. Pack them the evening before and keep them with the family.
