1. The Ground Reality Check (What Most Guides Won't Tell You)

Before looking at websites or quotes, do these three things:

• Visit their warehouse unannounced: Look for proper packing materials, hydraulic lifts, and organized storage.
• Ask for a GST invoice sample: Fake movers can't produce genuine tax documents.
• Request to meet the loading supervisor: This is the person who’ll actually handle your goods.

2. The Price Trap: How to Read Between the Lines

Last month, we helped a family who was quoted ?18,000 by another company, only to be charged ?32,000 later. Here's what to watch for:

• The Staircase Trick: Hidden charges for each floor not disclosed upfront.
• The “Just 1 Truck” Myth: Unexpectedly claiming multiple small trucks are needed.
• Night Move Surcharge: 25% extra if the move continues past 6 PM.

Our Transparent Pricing at Maa Sherawali:

• All charges explained in Hindi/English.
• Written confirmation of truck size.
• No night charges for delays caused by us.

3. Packing: Where Most Movers Cut Corners

We recently inspected a competitor’s “professional packing” and found issues like:

• Kitchen plates wrapped in used newspapers.
• Electronics without anti-static protection.
• Unprotected furniture edges.

Our Bihari-Smart Packing Approach:

• Recycled cotton cloth for fragile items.
• Neem-treated wooden crates for termite protection.
• Color-coded tags in Hindi/English.

4. The Transportation Test

Ask these crucial questions before booking:

• “Which route will you take to avoid tolls/traffic?”
• “What’s your breakdown recovery process?”
• “Can I track the truck driver directly?”

5. The Unloading Scam (And How to Avoid It)

• Extra charges for "heavy items" already included.
• Fake claims like "elevator not working."
• Teams rushing away before unpacking is complete.

Our Promise:

• Same team loads and unloads.
• Free 1-hour unpacking assistance.
• Damage report signed before leaving.
