Q.HOW DO MOVING COMPANY KEEP LARGE INVENTORY ORGANIZED DURING THE MOVE?

Local move is a short distance move that is performed within a city or within a 60 mile radius of your current location. Local move can be performed within a state or between two states. In order for a moving company to perform a move within a state the mover must be licensed by the State Department of Transportation (DOT) or by the Indian Department of Transportation if the move is between two states. Depending on the services requested, local move may take a couple of hours or a couple of days. Most of the local moves are charged based on the hourly rate. You will pay for each mover for each hour that work is being done. In addition to this, moving companies will charge for the travel time; one hour each way. Moving companies offer a variety of packing and material services. You will be charged for the carton boxes used during the move, blankets used to protect the furniture, tape and/or bubble wrap. Some moving companies offer custom wood crating for fragile items such as fine art, antiques, marble and glass. The level of the liability assumed by movers for the value of the goods that they move varies from company to company. You need to be aware of the amount of protection and the charges associated with each option. Insurance is often the area in moving that people know very little about and as a result make poor choices. The most basic coverage for the loss or damage of the goods required by law is the Basic Carrier Liability. If you wish to be paid in full for lost or damaged goods, it is recommended to buy additional insurance.
