The only thing that matters during your home shifting in the monsoon is your choice of a professional and expert packers and movers team that will make your home shifting during monsoon easy, hassle free and damage free with waterproof materials for packing and enclosed and well maintained vehicles to complete the move.

Here are some tips for you to get an idea for what to ask and expect from an experienced packers and movers team like Reshift Packers and Movers when you approach them for your home shifting during monsoon.

Why House Shifting During Monsoon Needs Extra Care

Monsoon brings heavy rain, slippery roads, waterlogging, and traffic delays. These problems can affect the entire moving process if you are not prepared.

Just imagine, you get up on a Sunday morning with your jogging shoes and earphones plugged in, you reach your society gate and discover the road forward is water logged and you can not go outside. How would you feel then? Irritating or frustrating right! At that time you must be thinking you should have checked the weather forecast after waking up.

This is a scenario, which can happen with your shifting schedule too. So moving during monsoon actually needs extra care for checking the weather forecast from time to time, check for water proof packing materials, enclosed vehicles and so on just to get your home shifting done properly at your new location during the monsoon.

Pack Your Belongings with Waterproof Protection

Here comes the biggest tension for people, how to keep their belongings and furniture dry from rain and moisture when it is time for house shifting during monsoon.

It is important to wrap your goods and furniture with plastic and then put them into the strong carton boxes with other packing materials so that moisture could not

go inside. Also do not forget to use bubble sheets and plastic wrappers around the carton boxes to make sure those do not get wet. This helps in a safe and waterproof loading and unloading process.

Also it is always recommended to keep your valuables like your jewellery,cash; other essential items such as medicines, bath kit, first aid kit, documents, device charges and so on with you in a separate bag and use a water proof bag if possible to ensure nothing gets damaged in rain.

Choose the Right Moving Day

Do not wait till the last moment, always book in advance, minimum 1 week before. But when shifting your home is mandatory during the monsoon, then it is suggested to check the weather forecast first before heading for booking.

Morning shifting is usually better because roads remain less crowded and there is enough daylight if unexpected delays happen.

Professional movers also monitor weather conditions before dispatching vehicles. This small planning step reduces the chances of damaged goods or late delivery.

A Small Story That Shows Why Planning Matters

Last year in August, a family was searching for packers and movers for their home, shifting to a new flat 30km away. They found two to three companies but none of them was ready to take their booking as that was monsoon time. Feeling tense, the family approached them again and one of the movers accepted their booking.

Both the family and the mover team thought light rain would not affect their move. Everything was packed, but the cartons were not covered with plastic sheets.

While loading, sudden heavy rain started. Some kitchen boxes became wet and a few books were damaged. Thankfully, the furniture and electronic items were packed separately using waterproof covers by the moving company.

The family later said that spending a little extra on waterproof packing would have saved both money and stress. Since then, they always advise friends never to ignore rain protection during monsoon shifting.

Keep Safety First During Loading and Unloading

Also, do not forget to wear a good pair of shoes while preparing and completing your shifting during monsoon. Make sure your children and older family members are staying away from your wet floors and messy packing process and loading process.

Also, when it is time for lifting and loading the items into the vehicles, make sure to dry that area using wiper or mop whatever possible, so that any mishap can be avoided.

Though professional teams use lifting belts, furniture blankets, and covered vehicles to reduce the risk of accidents, your responsibility from your end must be served for a smooth process.

How Much Does House Shifting During Monsoon Cost?

Talking about the cost of home shifting during the monsoon season, it is quite expected that it is going to be slightly higher than ordinary shifting services of other times of the year.

However, for people who think it is so expensive, then let me tell the truth. Actually the shifting cost in monsoon mostly depends on the same factors such as- household size, distance between locations, furniture type, vehicle selected, packing materials needed and so on. But the two most important factors that decide the cost during monsoon is the packing material you need and the vehicle you select.

Basically no one wants to damp their products or furniture while shifting in monsoon. So waterproof packaging gets high demand and it is of high quality so little expensive. And also the shifting vehicle is selected by customers. During monsoon every customer demands for an enclosed carrier or enclosed vehicle for their shifting, which generally increases the overall quotation.

For instance, a local 1BHK house shifting generally costs between 4,000 rupees and 8,000 rupees; 2BHKhouse usually costs around 6,500 rupees to 12,000 rupees; and it goes like this.

Simple Process Followed by Reshift Packers and Movers
