Packers and Movers in Vijnanapura

A 1 BHK is usually Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500, a 2 BHK Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,500 and a 3 BHK Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000. Long lived homes with full lofts sit toward the top of each band, because the carton count is higher. The survey gives you a written figure.

It depends far more on what's inside than on the number of rooms. A lightly furnished 2 BHK and one lived in for ten years can differ by several dozen cartons. The survey is where we count properly, by opening cupboards and lofts. Tell us about anything unusual, a collection, a second fridge, a room full of files, and the estimate gets better still.

Because everything is wrapped individually and heavy things like vessels can't fill a carton to the top. Plates, glasses, spices, appliances and the pantry usually fill more cartons than any bedroom. Steel vessels nest, which helps, but glass and crockery never do.

A large carton of books is too heavy to lift safely and the bottom gives way. Small cartons, filled to the top, are the only way to move books without injuries or split cartons. A shelf of paperbacks can fill more cartons than you'd guess.

Tall cartons with a hanging rail inside, so clothes go straight from the wardrobe on their hangers. They're quick to pack and clothes arrive without creases. They're worth it for anyone with a lot of formal wear. They take more space on the vehicle than folded clothes, which is part of the count too.

Almost always because something wasn't seen at survey, a full loft, a store room, a second fridge. That's why we ask to open everything. When the survey sees the whole house, the figure holds. It's why the survey takes as long as it does.

Yes, by clearing out before the move. Old papers, empty boxes, unused appliances and clothes nobody wears all take cartons. A weekend of sorting often makes a real difference to the figure. Start with the loft and the store room, because that's where most of the forgotten things live.

Yes. Ask when you book and we'll drop a few cartons early. Pack personal things over a few evenings and label them with the room and contents.

Yes, the written quote includes cartons, wrap, tape and padding for everything we pack. If you pack some cartons yourself, the material for those is part of the same figure. There's no separate bill for cartons on the day.

For light, soft things like clothes, if they're dry and sturdy, yes. For heavy or fragile items, fresh cartons are safer. Old cartons from a damp store room should be thrown away. Cartons that have been taped and untaped several times lose their strength at the corners.

Open it before the survey and tell us what's in it. Lofts are the single most common reason a moving day runs over. If it's full, it can add many cartons to the count. Kitchen lofts in older Vijnanapura houses are often deeper than they look from below, so use a torch.

Room by room, cupboard by cupboard. We look inside wardrobes, kitchen cabinets, lofts and store rooms, and estimate from what's actually there rather than from the number of rooms.

Yes, directly. Cartons stack well, but a lot of them take space fast. Getting the count right is what makes sure the right vehicle turns up, and that one trip is enough. A second trip because the count was wrong is the most expensive mistake in a move.

Room and contents on two sides, not just the top, because the top gets covered when cartons are stacked. Mark fragile ones clearly. A carton labelled only 'misc' is one nobody can place at the other end. If you're packing several rooms, number the cartons as well, so you know when one is missing.

Documents, valuables, medicines, chargers, a change of clothes and toiletries. Everything you'd need if the vehicle arrived late. It stays with you, not on the truck. Label it clearly and keep it in the car or by your feet.

Most roads here take a medium vehicle. Some lanes are narrow. We check at survey and plan any carry.

Yes, both are short moves. The time goes on packing and loading, which is exactly where the carton count matters.

Yes, from the rooms we unpack. If you unpack yourself later, ask us about a pickup, or keep a few flat for storage.

Yes, on declared value, shown on the quote. It's worth having for electronics and anything expensive, whatever the carton count.

Yes, short term storage in Bangalore is priced monthly on volume. It's common when a family moves from a house to a flat and isn't ready to part with everything.

Usually most of a day with a full crew. The kitchen and the loft take the longest. Packing the day before and moving the next is often the calmer plan. The lofts alone can take an hour in an older house.

We'd suggest not. The kitchen is where most breakages happen, and professional packing earns its money there. Clothes, books and linen are the best things to pack yourself. If you do want to help, empty the pantry of open packets and half used bottles, which are a nuisance to pack and rarely worth moving.

Yes. Scooters on a carrier are Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,500 and cars Rs 6,000 to Rs 12,000, booked with the household.

Yes, small loads start at Rs 2,999. A few cartons and a piece of furniture to a relative's house is a common job here.

If it's because something wasn't shown at survey, the figure may change, which is why we ask to see everything. If the survey saw everything, the written figure is the one that stands.

Heavy cartons at the bottom, light ones on top, fragile cartons on top of everything and marked. We do the loading, but it helps if your own packed cartons are marked heavy or light. Mark any carton with liquids in it, and keep those upright and on top.

Yes, intercity moves are priced per kilometre on our standard rates. Long moves need sturdier packing, which can add a little to the material.

Of course. Newer flats with fewer years of belongings are usually quicker. The carton question matters most in the homes that have been lived in longest.

Our Hoodi branch is on this side of the city, and our main office at Cheemasandra is close by on the Old Madras Road side.

A week is usually enough, two if you want time to clear out first. Sorting before the survey makes the estimate far more accurate.
