Unpacking After Shifting: How to Settle Into Your New Home Faster
A day-by-day unpacking plan and time-saving tips to turn a house full of boxes into a comfortable home.
About Amit Poonia
Amit Poonia is the Senior Editor and Head of Operations at Century Packers and Movers, based at our office in Zirakpur. He has worked in moving and logistics for 6 years, and he writes and edits every article on the Century Packers and Movers blog.
Amit's guides come from hands-on work. He has carried out home surveys, packed household goods and coordinated moves himself — local shifts across Zirakpur, Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula, and intercity moves to cities across India. As Head of Operations, he plans how our team handles each move, from the first survey to delivery at the new home.
His aim as a writer is simple: to help people plan their move with less stress. Shifting raises many practical questions — what to pack first, how to protect a fridge or a TV, what the housing society needs before moving day, how to read a quote, or how to tell a genuine mover from a fake one. Amit answers them in plain, easy language, step by step.

How Amit Writes
Every guide is based on how moves are actually planned and carried out by the Century Packers and Movers team. Amit follows a few clear rules in everything he publishes:
- Practical first — steps you can follow, not general advice.
- Honest — no made-up numbers, no unrealistic promises and no price or timing claims that cannot be confirmed for your own move.
- Clear about how we work — the quote follows a survey, a move is booked after written confirmation, and transit insurance is not included in our services.
- Kept up to date — articles are reviewed and updated when our process or the rules change.
