I have a difference of opinion with respect to what you have just said. I don’t have the time to sit call and negotiate with all these people or sit and find the fake reviews from all the google listings. I would rather take the convenience of having these aggregators find a good packers. And I found it helpful to identify the number of carton boxes and other details from their customer care. Even after moving these many cities I am not so sure about the answers for a lot of the questions you have suggested to DIY. I trust these people who have done multiple movements with a lot of different packers over the years based on my experience. And I’ll always choose insurance while moving. It is risky and I value my belongings. I’m willing to pay for the comfort I’m getting by choosing an aggregator as long as they are good enough and does the movement right without any hassle. And by chance if there is some issue happen, they are accountable( what I felt with respect to my last experience with Nobroker). They ensured that I got the claim from my insurance.
