Packers and Movers in Kambipura

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. If you do some of the packing yourself, tell us at survey so the quote reflects it.

For light, soft and unbreakable things, yes, as long as the cartons are dry and clean. For books, crockery, kitchen items and electronics, use proper moving cartons. Shop boxes are the ones that fail on the second lift.

They have already been used once, stacked, dropped and opened. On the journey they sit under other cartons and are shaken for hours. By the second lift, at the new house, the softened base or corners give way.

Books, crockery, glass, heavy kitchen items, electronics, documents and anything you would be upset to lose. Weight and fragility are the two things a used carton handles worst.

Pillows, cushions, towels, bed linen, soft toys, plastic containers and other light items that will not break if a carton gets squashed. Keep the cartons dry and clean, and do not overfill them.

Yes. We can supply moving cartons, tape and wrapping material for families who want to pack some or all of the house themselves. Ask at survey and it goes on the quote.

Check the corners are firm, all four flaps are intact, the board is dry and there is no smell. Press the side with your hand, if it gives easily, it will not carry anything heavy.

Sometimes. Cartons stored in the back of a grocery shop can carry insects or eggs, especially ones that held food. Avoid those for clothes, bedding and anything going into a wardrobe.

Regular sizes stack into neat walls that hold each other in place. A mix of odd sizes leaves gaps, stacks badly and carries less. On a full house move that can mean more space used than expected.

Run tape across the base seam and then along both edges, making an H shape. Do the same on top once it is filled. A single strip down the middle is the most common reason a base drops out.

Light enough for one person to carry comfortably up a flight of stairs. Pack books and heavy items in small cartons, and light items in large ones. A large carton of books is a problem in any board.

The crew checks bases before loading, and if a carton is clearly going to fail, they will point it out. Repacking takes time and material, so it is better to pack heavy things in proper cartons from the start.

It can reduce the quote, because packing labour is a real part of the cost. Just make sure the heavy and fragile things go into proper cartons, and leave anything tricky, like a glass table top or a TV, to the crew.

No. Crockery is heavy for its size and breaks easily, which is the worst combination for a used carton. Use a proper carton with dividers or lots of padding, and mark it fragile.

Those are often stronger and cleaner than grocery cartons, and some come with good inserts. They are the best of the free cartons, if you can find them in a size that suits what you are packing.

For soft clothes and linen, large strong bags work. They do not stack well, so they go on top of cartons in the vehicle. Avoid thin shopping bags, which tear the moment they catch on something.

The crew gathers what fell, checks for damage and moves the contents into a fresh carton. It costs time and sometimes a breakage, which is why weak boxes are worth avoiding for anything valuable.

It depends heavily on how much the family owns, and the survey is the honest way to find out. We would rather give you a figure for your house than a rule of thumb that may not fit.

Cross out the old printing on the carton, then write the room and a short list of contents on two sides. A carton printed with a brand of cooking oil confuses everyone at the other end if it actually holds bath towels.

Yes, we offer storage in Bangalore on a monthly basis, priced on volume. For storage, use proper cartons, because weak ones sag under the weight of the cartons above them over a few weeks.

A week or two before, if you are collecting from shops, so you can pick the good ones and reject the rest. If you are buying moving cartons, a few days before packing is enough.

Yes. Intercity moves are priced per kilometre, roughly Rs 15 to Rs 28 depending on vehicle size and load. On a long journey weak cartons are even more of a risk, so use proper ones for everything that matters.

Yes, transit insurance is available on the declared value of your goods. Ask about the details when you receive the written quote, especially if you are packing fragile things yourself.

A week to ten days is usually enough for a local move, longer around month end. If you want cartons delivered for self packing, mention it when you book.

Rarely. Fruit cartons are built to breathe, with holes and thin walls, and they are often damp or sticky from what they carried. They are fine for taking shoes or garden tools a short distance and not much else.

Worse than a new one. Board that has already absorbed damp in a storeroom softens quickly in humid weather, and a wet afternoon of loading can finish it off. In the rainy months, keep shop cartons for the lightest things only.

If they were stored flat and dry, and the board is still firm, yes, they are usually better than shop cartons. Check the bases and replace any that have been folded and unfolded many times.

Stack them in one room near the door, heavy ones at the bottom, labels facing out. The crew can then check the bases, load them in order and spend their time on the furniture rather than hunting through the house.
