I am staying in Delhi for the last 21 years and since then changed residence for three times but never availed the services of any professional packer. This was due to the fact that I did not accumulate enough junk so that the services of a packer would be essential. But if the first shifting was a smooth one, with each shifting it became difficult to handle all by myself.
In those times what I used to do is hire a tempo, pay for the loaders/unloaders(usually they were 4 people), fix a date and time.

Now, packing was not a part of their duty so the We had to do it ourselves. That was another real tough job- get packing boxes- free or by paying 10-15 Rs to grocery shops and collect, segregate and pack them inorder before the packer people came. I forgot to mention that all these transfers were local, means we shifted from one colony in Delhi to another colony. So there was not much problem.

This time it was 2008. We have stayed in this address for last 4 years, another 12 years in the same building but opposite wing and 1 year at another location.

We had indeed collected a lot of things to carry.
So I decided to hire the services of a professional packer.
I searched Internet for few days, looked into forums like mouthshut.com and read their reviews. The reviews were mainly negative with lots of horror stories. This was more for people who shifted to far away places like Bangalore, Hyderabad etc.

I saw few good comments for a Gurgaon based packer but when I called them I found their rate was very high.

Now, this exercise was good one in the sense it gave me a fair idea about the charge for this service and what are the scopes of their services-like packing, loading, unloading, unpacking.

I continued searching for a good packer so sent emails to few companies. I started getting their reply. Some were very fast, some were slow. Seems, they all are not net savvy.

So I choose a fellow who was very fast in reply and who sent reminders too often. They are named as Times Logistics Limited.
I am happy with their services. In fact from the Internet stories what I heard I was very scared about getting my boxes unharmed.

This people(Times Logistics Limited) came early (8am), did the packing carefully till 15 hrs and shifted the goods in reasonable time. The only negative aspect was that they brought a small truck in the beginning though they had earlier inspected my house. But they quickly brought another truck and finished the job.

I am relived that my shifting was over without much problem.
