The typical shifting process with packers and movers is a systematic, multi-step plan designed to make your relocation as smooth as possible. While specific details can vary between companies, the general workflow is as follows:

1. Initial Contact and Survey:

 * You contact the company to inquire about their services.

 * A representative will either conduct a virtual or on-site survey of your belongings to estimate the volume and weight of your goods.

 * Based on this survey, they will provide a detailed quote that includes all costs, services, and an estimated timeline.

2. Booking and Documentation:

 * Once you agree to the quote, you'll book the service and pay any required advance.

 * The company will create a contract and an inventory list of your items.

 * For interstate moves, they will also handle necessary documentation and permits.

3. Packing and Labeling:

 * On the scheduled day, a team of trained professionals will arrive with all the necessary packing materials (boxes, bubble wrap, tape, etc.).

 * They will carefully pack each item, paying special attention to fragile goods and disassembling large furniture and appliances.

 * Each box will be labeled with its contents and the room it belongs to, making it easier to unpack later.

4. Loading and Transportation:

 * The packed items are carefully loaded onto the transport vehicle. Heavy items are placed at the bottom, and the load is balanced to ensure safe transit.

 * For interstate moves, the company often uses a sealed, GPS-enabled container truck for security and real-time tracking.

 * Your belongings are transported to the new destination.

5. Unloading, Unpacking, and Rearranging:

 * Upon arrival, the team will unload all the boxes and items from the truck.

 * They will place the boxes in their designated rooms based on the labels.

 * Many companies also offer unpacking services, which includes reassembling furniture and placing items where you want them.

6. Final Check and Payment:

 * You are given the opportunity to check the inventory and inspect your belongings for any damage before signing off on the delivery.

 * After you are satisfied, you'll make the final payment as per the agreed-upon terms.
