Mr. Yogendra got an offer from a reputed US consulting firm for their Hyderabad office. Excited about his new opportunity, he decided to move from Gurgaon to Hyderabad in the next couple of months. However, in the excitement of landing a lucrative job, he forgot to complete some crucial tasks before his departure date, leading to a complete mess when he realized his oversight. Let's look at what he missed and what he should have done to avoid this situation.

What Mr. Yogendra Missed Doing Before the ‘D’ Day

1. Not Making a List of Tasks

Without a list, everything can be in disorder. It's essential to note down all the tasks you need to complete before leaving the city. Here are some tasks that should be on your list:

  • Meeting Friends: Make sure to schedule time to meet your friends before you leave. Missing out on these goodbyes can lead to regrets.
  • Clearing Dues: Pay off any outstanding amounts to local stores or service providers to leave on good terms and avoid future hassles.

2. Forgetting Disconnection of Amenities

Clearing dues and disconnecting services in advance is crucial for peace of mind. Consider these amenities:

  • Newspaper and Internet/Phone Connection: Either stop the services a month before or arrange for the connection to be shifted to the new city.
  • Gas Connection: Disconnecting will make you eligible for a refund of the security amount. Return any cylinders and regulators with proof of identity.
  • Water Connection: Ensure this is also disconnected to avoid unnecessary charges.

3. Not Informing the Landlord

Just as you inform your employer about your resignation, notify your landlord about your move. Failing to do so could lead to losing your security deposit or advance rent. Your landlord may also withhold assistance until all dues are cleared, which could cause you to miss your flight or train.

4. Procrastinating on Booking a Moving Company

Delaying the decision to book a reputable packers and movers company can reduce your chances of finding a reliable relocation partner. Yogendra faced confusion while choosing a moving company due to similar-sounding brand names and boastful claims. Here's what to check before selecting your relocation company:

  • Avoid Similar Brand Names: Choose a company with a unique, well-known name.
  • Check Online Reviews and Testimonials: Be cautious of fake reviews. Look for consistent patterns or reviewers who post for multiple similar businesses.
  • Verify Online Presence: Check the company's website and address. Visit their office to confirm their physical presence.
  • Storage Facility: Ensure the company offers storage options at the new city in case you need extra time to find a suitable house or apartment. If you require warehousing services for your goods, make sure the company provides secure storage options.

5. Not Considering Vehicle Transportation

Many people forget to plan for vehicle transportation in advance. If you're moving and need to transport your car or bike safely, consider hiring professionals who specialize in car transport or bike transport services.

6. Ignoring the Need for a Mini Truck

Sometimes, people only need to move a few items instead of hiring a full-service mover. In such cases, opting for a mini truck rental service can be cost-effective and convenient.

BOXnMOVE can provide solutions to all these issues. Once you contact BOXnMOVE for your household shifting, all the mentioned points will be discussed and advised to you. We aim to help you achieve a hassle-free moving experience, wherever you go.

Takeaway: Take your time to explore options and address all potential issues before moving to another city. Proper planning can prevent moving day disasters and ensure a smooth transition to your new home.

Conclusion

By following these tips, you can avoid the mistakes Mr. Yogendra made and ensure a smooth and stress-free move with the best packers and movers in Gurgaon. Make your relocation less stressful and more efficient with BOXnMOVE.
