Besides household shifting, most of the major Packers and Movers businesses offer services like Relocation service, Office Relocation, Car Transportation and in some cases Warehousing Facilities are also available. Below we take a look at these services in slight detail.

a) Household shifting :

This is the most common type of service rendered by all the Packers and Movers. In this the business house sends experts to your home to help you pack and move your belongings. Normally, they send someone to survey the house and its contents. With the help of the surveillance they determine the number of laborers needed for the job. After you give them the date of shifting out, they usually send the packers a day or two beforehand.

The packers then neatly and efficiently pack (in most cases!) the stuff. In some organizations the consumer has the option of choosing the kind of packaging to be used if he wants something customized. After that they hand over the job to the movers. The movers load all the stuff in the vans and trucks. If the cargo is to be transported over short distances then the whole transport is done by road. If it is cross country shifting you are looking at, then in that case it the transport might take place through sea or air.

Furthermore, most of the major businesses houses provide insurance on both the packing and moving services. Though engaging the services of professionals is an expensive proposition in the long run it is always a better option seeing the punctuality and effectiveness of the service. An area of conflict might arise if one is to engage solely a moving service. If the goods are damaged, then the mover is likely to claim that they were improperly packed by the customer.

b) Relocation Services :

This is yet another service which is presented by many a Moving and Packing house. Relocation Services normally refer to the transfer of a person from one city to another or one country to another. The Packers and Movers help you select a suitable destination to relocate to and then assist you in finding suitable accommodation along with this they also aid you in prospecting for a suitable job of your choice and can also provide invaluable assistance in finding schools and colleges for your kids. Similarly they are also involved in providing information about government policies and taxes for your maximum benefit.

c) Office Relocation :

This service is very similar to the Relocation services. Instead of a single employee or individual relocation this deals with office relocation. The company helps set up office in a new place. They give you listings of office space available in various sites. They also lend you an hand in employee recruitment and other related services.

d) Car Transportation :

What if you don’t want to drive your car from Kashmir to Kanyakumari you can always get it sent to you! This is one of the most popular kind of service offered by such businesses. When dealing with cross country relocation, most consumers don’t want to drive their car along. So many a times they decide to get the car transported to the new place. The movers pick up the car from your house and transport it to the pre decided new location. This service being comparatively inexpensive is a greatly availed.
