What affects the cost of shifting labour services

For shifting labour services: the biggest part of the price is the vehicle: a Shehzore carries a one-room move, a 17 ft Mazda a normal two or three bedroom house, and a 20 ft Mazda or container a large house. Choosing the right size first time is cheaper than paying for a second trip.

Packing adds material and time. Cartons, bubble wrap, stretch film and blankets protect what you own, and a packed move is usually faster on the day because everything is ready to load in order.

• Volume of goods and vehicle size
• Packing materials and crew size
• Floors, lifts and walking distance
• Specialist handling (pianos, safes, ACs)
• Distance and fuel prices for intercity moves

How the moving day runs

Ask building security or the society office for the gate pass a day early. Many societies and towers allow moving vehicles only at fixed hours, and a missing pass is the most common cause of delay.

At the new place we unload room by room, refit beds and wardrobes and place the boxes where you want them. Check the item list before the team leaves and note anything you are not happy with.

Packing guidance for loading & unloading labour

Pack heavy things such as books and crockery in small boxes and light things such as pillows in big ones. Boxes that are too heavy to lift are the ones that get dropped.

Write the room name and a short list of contents on two sides of each carton. At the new house the team can then place each box in the right room without asking you every time.

Planning around rain or summer heat? The Pakistan Meteorological Department forecast helps you pick a dry, cooler day – we can move the slot if the weather turns.
