Moving to a new home is always a big task, but doing it during festive seasons (like Onam, Diwali, or Christmas) adds extra challenges—higher demand for movers, traffic delays, and packed schedules. If you’re planning a house shifting service in Kochi during this busy time, Real Packers & Movers is here to help! Follow these pro tips to ensure a smooth, stress-free relocation.
1. Book Your Movers Early (Most Important!)
Festive seasons mean high demand for packers and movers.
✅ Do This:
- Reserve your house shifting service in Kochi at least 4-6 weeks in advance.
- Confirm dates with Real Packers & Movers to avoid last-minute hassles.
- Ask about festive-season discounts or special packages.
🚫 Avoid: Waiting until the last week—premium slots fill fast!
2. Plan Around Festival Traffic
Kochi’s roads get crowded during festivals due to:
- Shopping rush
- Processions & events
- Increased tourist traffic
✅ Smart Scheduling:
- Move early morning (6 AM – 9 AM) to avoid peak hours.
- Check festival dates (e.g., avoid Thrissur Pooram if moving interstate).
- Ask Real Packers & Movers for real-time traffic insights.
3. Secure Packing Supplies in Advance
Stores may close or run out of supplies during festivals.
✅ Pro Packing Tips:
- Stock up on bubble wrap, cartons & tape early.
- Use festive decorations (like old sarees/dhotis) to wrap fragile items.
- Label boxes clearly (e.g., “Pooja Items – Handle with Care”).
💡 Bonus: Professional packers like Real Packers & Movers provide pre-packed kits for festive moves.
4. Declutter Before Packing
Festivals = perfect time to donate or repurpose old items!
✅ Festive Decluttering:
- Separate unwanted furniture/clothes for donation.
- Sell items via festive flea markets or OLX.
- Pack decorations last so your new home feels festive immediately.
5. Keep Essentials Handy
You don’t want to rummage through boxes during celebrations!
✅ Festive Moving Essentials Kit:
- A small box with pooja items, lights, and snacks.
- Basic utensils for quick meals.
- First-night clothes & toiletries.
📌 Pro Tip: Real Packers & Movers offers priority unpacking services so you can settle in faster.
6. Safety Checks During Festive Chaos
More people + distractions = higher risk of mishaps.
✅ Safety Must-Dos:
- Supervise movers if fireworks/events are nearby.
- Keep kids/pets in a quiet room during loading.
- Double-check inventory lists to prevent lost items.
7. Celebrate the Transition!
Turn moving stress into a festive housewarming!
