If you are going to do it yourself then you will require a moving truck to transport your goods. There are many transport companies in India that provide their trucks and tempos on rent. You can book a mini truck like tata ace or Chota Hathi on rent to transport your belongings. These transport agencies provide tempos and trucks rental services along with the driver. The charges of the service depend on the size or model of the truck, driver allowance, and the time duration for which you have booked the truck.

The packaging materials play a vital role in keeping your goods safe during transportation and also prevent them from damages. So, you should buy or arrange the packaging materials as soon as possible. This way you can start packing the goods because packing consumes a lot of time.

8. Do not overload the moving boxes

The one most important thing that people often forget to do while packing the goods is not overloading the boxes. While stuffing the moving boxes, we keep as many items as we can and forget that we are overloading without realizing its consequences. The goods will spill out from the bottom of the boxes and will break, also the heavy boxes can injure us as we’ll lift up the boxes.
