Hiring professional and reliable Packers and Movers in Mumbai can be a fussy task as almost every relocation service provider boasts of superior service quality.

Most people relate the packers and movers services with courier services while trying to estimate the relocation cost of goods - which is a grave fallacy. While a courier company charge on per-kilogram weight of goods, a professional shifting service provider calculates relocation cost on a different set of parameters.

Major Parameters to Calculate Hiring Cost of Packers and Movers:

Bulk Volume of Merchandise

It’s not the weight, but the volume (quantity) of the cargo that influences the moving cost. While transportation in specialized heavy-duty trucks, a 50-kg small toolbox would certainly cost you less than a 20-kg full-size drum packed with soft-toys.

Distance between Source-Destination

The cost of relocation varies with the distance, domestic moving and national moving. Hiring Packers and movers in Navi Mumbai would certainly cost you less if you are shifting to a new place within the city, rather than a different state, say Hyderabad.

Cost of Labour

The cost of labour includes everything from packing, moving, loading, unloading, unpacking and reassembling services.

Cost of Packaging Material

The total cost of packing depends on quantity of goods to be packed and the quality of packing material used. The valuable fragile stuff needs special packing care and thus the packing material quality should never be compromised for.

Southern Cargo Packers and Movers in Thane is one such trusted relocation service provider, highly recommended by its previous customers for safe transit of valuable accessories to anywhere in India from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane.

Service Tax and Insurance Fees

The total calculated cost is service taxed to calculate the final cost of the transfer service. The Insurance is an add-on yet recommended value service offered by the moving agency, additional to the total cost.
