• Make sure the agency and the people involved are trustworthy. Do not just rely on here say and word of mouth. Go online, check reviews and talk to people. You will be trusting the agency with most of your household possessions. You do not want to be caught up in a racket of theft and robbery.

• Security of goods during transportation from one city to another is crucial.
