A move over the winter is a little more involved than a move in summer. The moving schedule can be impacted by fog, cold mornings, shorter daylight hours, traffic and road conditions. When moving from Gurgaon to other cities, it is best to reserve long distance moving services in advance, pack with care, select an appropriate moving truck and allow for a little bit of extra time.

OMX Packers and Movers can assist working professionals and families in Gurgaon for planning the move as per distance, volume of items, pick up location and delivery schedule. With a proper plan, the journey is made easier and it also helps to minimise potential damage or delays.

Why Is a Long Distance Move in Winter Different?

Highway driving in the morning during the winter is challenging for cars. Visibilities can be lowered by dense fog, particularly in the early morning. Routes that are around Gurgaon can also get congested if the office traffic begins to move towards the Golf Course Road, Sohna Road, Manesar, or Delhi-Gurgaon Road.

These are insignificant delays for a short-distance trip, but can impact the overall itinerary for a long-distance trip. That's why it's best to not schedule loading too early in the morning when there's heavy fog.

The other key is daylight. Natural light makes loading, unloading, checking furniture and organizing cartons easier. These factors should be taken into account when making a moving plan rather than doing the same as you would do during the summer.

How to Plan a Long Distance Move in Winter

Begin planning at least 1-2 weeks ahead of the move date. Determine what you are taking and what you will leave behind. This aids the moving side to determine the number of cartons, wrapping, employees and truck space needed.

After that, provide the complete pickup and delivery address to OMX Packers and Movers. Factors like narrow lanes, society entry restrictions, lift availability, floor number and parking space can impact moving.

If you're transferring from Gurgaon, state if the property is situated in Dwarka Expressway, Sohna, Manesar, Sector 14, Sector 21, Sector 57 or any other close places to Gurgaon. Road conditions within the local area can be taken into account when planning the pickup.

Choose the Right Vehicle and Route

The number of household goods should be equal to the number of vehicles. For a small load, a large truck isn't necessary, and a three-bedroom house could require a lot of room.

It's also important in the winter months. Traveling from Gurgaon to Jaipur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Dehradun or any other far away place can have varying traffic and weather conditions.

The mobile party should take into account the conditions of the roads and the time it would take to leave. It is also helpful on very long runs to maintain a little more time to allow for deliveries rather than guaranteeing impossible delivery dates.

Pack Winter and Household Items Properly

Winter doesn't mean that all items must be packed specially, but some may require extra protection.

Proper covering of furniture to protect from dust, moisture and scratches. Fragile objects, such as glassware, mirrors, television, crockery and other fragile items should be supported appropriately.

Pack clothes and blankets when dry. Closed cartons may cause an odor for the duration of a long trip.

Packing and Unpacking Services at OMX Packers and Movers can make this easier. Depending on the type of products, materials like strong cartons, bubble wrap, stretch film, foam sheets, protective covers can be used.

A Realistic Winter Moving Experience

In January, it was one of the families of my neighbourhood moving from Sector 57, Gurgaon to Jaipur.

Their original intention was to load at 6 am. The morning on moving day, however, was cold and the visibility on the road was down. The team did not rush the vehicle onto the road, instead they modified the loading/d Departure schedule.

The family was initially concerned as they were going to Jaipur on the same day. Knowing how the road was and what they expected to see in the way, they decided that they were willing to do anything except risk it in an effort to save a few hours.

The furniture was carefully wrapped, all the kitchen equipment placed in a different box, and essential papers and medicines were kept with the family. The car went away when the visibility became better.

The trip was a bit longer than they had anticipated, but the goods made it safely. It is a basic illustration of the need for some leeway when moving in the winter.

How Much Does a Long Distance Move Cost?

There is no set price for all moves as there are a number of different factors.

The approximate cost of a Gurgaon to other cities move can range from the minimum of 15,000 rupees and up to 60,000 rupees or more depending on the distance, the amount of items to be moved, the packing requirements, the type of vehicle used, labour costs, the floor level to be moved and extra services.

A 2BHK home could be cheaper than a three-bedroom home, which is furnished more and has more furniture.

Before hiring, Long Distance Moving Services get a complete estimate. If any packing, loading, transportation, unpacking, taxes, or other demanded services are requested, inquire if they are included.

What Safety Steps Should You Follow?

Do not put all the valuables, money, paperwork, medications, chargers or clothing in the moving vehicle.

When the vehicle is leaving, ensure that cartons are properly sealed and labelled. Before loading, take photos of important and fragile items. This can also assist you to identify the boxes rapidly after delivery.

Winter road safety is also an important issue. The driver may have to slow down or wait for visibility to improve if the fog gets too dense. It is better to have a safe delivery than to arrive a few hours early.

What Is the Moving Process?

When done correctly, the process is simple.

First of all, get in touch with OMX Packers and Movers and give them the pickup and delivery information. The team can correspond on how much goods they have and the requirements.

Then verify the quote, packing, vehicle type, pick up date and anticipated delivery time. The team packs and labels the items and carefully loads them into the truck on the moving day before they are moved and secured.

The products are then shipped to the place of destination. Upon arrival, the team unloads belongings and offers Unpacking Services as requested.

What Should You Ask Before Booking?

Ask basic questions prior to confirming the service:

• What is the mode of transportation?
• What kinds of packing materials are provided?
• What will be done to safeguard breakables?
• How long does it take to be expected?
• Is unloading included?
• Do you have any other fees?
• What changes will occur because of winter weather?

It's important to give clear answers at the start to avoid confusion later.
