Hiring packers and movers is the most technical task one can ever come across. We may think we know it all by the quotation we have received from the company but often there are hidden charges which we fail to recognize at first. Later on, we are asked to pay these charges and we can’t deny the same as we have already made an agreement. Hidden Charges Of Packers And Movers You Should Know
Here we list down some charges which you should know before hiring a relocation company:-
Local Transport Cost:
It is the cost that is incurred in local transportation for the door to door delivery of the consignment. It is a service in which the consignment is delivered locally. By this, we mean, that the goods will be picked up from your location in the beginning. That will be transported to a certain place. There they will keep the goods in a warehouse and will transport it from there into a vehicle that will deliver the goods to your doorstep. Now here the company saves its cost while transporting your belongings through a collective vehicle for which you will pay an individual cost. Alongside that, you will have to pay for the local delivery partner service. This is how you can be conned easily to pay more.
