Send your details for a free quoteHow far ahead should I book packers and movers?
Book 3 to 7 days ahead for a local move inside the Chandigarh tricity, and about two weeks ahead for a long-distance or interstate move. Dates at the end and start of the month fill up first.
Ways to reach our teamDo you do same-day shifting?
Yes, when a crew and a vehicle are free that day. Call early in the morning with both addresses and the size of the move, and you will know straight away whether it can be done.
Ask for a same-day quoteAre the survey and the quote free?
Yes. Seeing your goods and preparing a written quote costs nothing, and you are under no obligation to book after receiving it.
What happens at each stage of a moveIs there a minimum size of move?
No. We move a few items or a single room as well as full houses and offices, and the price follows the vehicle and the hours the job actually needs.

Charges and cost
How much does local shifting cost in Chandigarh?
Typical local charges are ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 for a 1 RK / 1 BHK, ₹7,000 to ₹12,000 for a 2 BHK, ₹10,000 to ₹16,000 for a 3 BHK and ₹15,000 to ₹22,000 for a 4 BHK / Villa. The exact figure depends on the amount of goods, floors, lift access and packing.
Shifting charges in Chandigarh, explainedWhat makes a move cost more?
Distance, the amount of goods, stairs instead of a lift, full packing, a truck that cannot park near the door, and add-ons such as vehicle transport or storage. Peak dates at the end of the month can also cost more.
Details that keep your quote accurateDoes moving to a hill town cost more?
Usually yes, compared with the same distance on plain roads. Hill routes take longer, need a vehicle suited to steep roads, and goods sometimes have to be carried by hand where a truck cannot reach the door.

Packing and moving day
What packing materials do you use?
Heavy-duty cartons, bubble wrap, foam sheets, corrugated rolls, stretch wrap and strong tape, chosen per item. Glass, electronics and artwork get extra layers and are packed by trained packers.
How each kind of item is packedWhat cannot go in the moving truck?
LPG cylinders, petrol, diesel, paint, chemicals and other flammable items cannot travel in the truck. Keep cash, jewellery, original documents and medicines with you rather than in the cartons.
Getting your home ready for moving dayHow long does a local move take?
Most local moves inside the Chandigarh tricity are packed, moved and delivered on the same day. A large house with full packing can take longer, and the timing is planned with you when the quote is prepared.
How a move runs from packing to deliveryWill you unpack at the new home?
Yes. The team unloads, unpacks, places furniture where you want it and takes away the packing waste, so the house is usable the same day.
What full home shifting includes
Insurance and damage
Are my goods insured during shifting?
Transit insurance is available for your goods while they are on the road, covering damage or loss during transport. Ask for it when you get your quote, and photograph valuable items before they are packed.
What to ask any mover about insuranceWhat should I do if something is damaged?
Check the goods with our team at delivery, write any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign it, take photos and tell us straight away. Photos taken before packing make the claim much easier to settle.

Vehicles, storage and pets
Can you move my car and bike?
Yes. Cars travel on open or enclosed car carriers and bikes are packed in foam and wrap before loading. Both can go on the same booking as the household goods.
Car transport on a carrier from ChandigarhDo you offer storage?
Yes. Goods can be stored for a few days or for months, in a facility with 24/7 surveillance, when the new home is not ready or you are moving in stages.
Storage for household goods and business stockCan you move my dog or cat?
Yes. Pets travel in a separate air-conditioned car, never in the goods truck, with stops for water and a walk. For trains and flights we help you prepare the crate and the papers.
