Most of the well-known movers and packers in Pakistan provide stellar services to their clients. Therefore, choosing one is never a problem. Plus, you will most probably be assigned an agent with whom you can coordinate over the phone. Your preferred movers and packers will commence operations after performing a preliminary survey of your household goods and furniture to determine how much it would cost to move all of it.

Most movers and packers in Pakistan have a rate of PKR 50,000 to PKR 75,000 for city-to-city relocation. This usually involves loading and unloading from a 20-foot container, which is commonly used in Pakistan. If you have more stuff, you can also opt for a larger 40-foot container which could cost around PKR 90,000 to PKR 100,000.

Your moving agent will provide you with different packaging material. You can choose from corrugated boxes, plywood cardboard sheets, strapping bands, thermocol and bubble wrap with varying shapes and sizes. The moving company may present you with three additional types of packing options.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, there is \u201clight-grade\u201d packaging that costs around PKR 35,000, featuring materials that provide limited safety from breakage. The second type is known as \u201cmid-grade\u201d packaging that features slightly better materials for PKR 45,000. The final tier includes \u201chigh-grade\u201d packaging that incorporates top quality materials to ensure fool-proof safety; it\u2019s priced at PKR 60,000.

The final decision mainly depends on your budget. A good team of movers will responsibly transport your furniture safely to a new city regardless of the package you choose.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also ideal to minimize the number of non-essentials or rarely used household goods by selling them off for some extra income. This will leave more room for the primary essential furniture within your relocation container and cut some major moving as well as packing costs altogether.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to make things easier for yourself and the moving company, don\u2019t just label your boxes. Make sure to list the number of items placed within as well. On a spare side, you can also write the name of the room that box needs to be placed in. This will be a great source of relief for not only the team of movers but also for you, once you start unpacking.

Now that you have an idea of how much moving furniture between cities may cost you, it completely depends upon you if you want to hire professionals or take the DIY route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
