Frequently asked questions

Answers about pricing, booking, packing, intercity moves, vehicles, insurance and storage.

Booking and pricing

How do I get a quote?

Use our quote form, WhatsApp us, or call +91 94155 50293. We arrange a free survey and send a written quote.

How early should I book?

Please inform us at least 2 days before a local move within Lucknow, and at least 3 days before a long-distance move. Book earlier for month-ends, festivals and the wedding season.

Is the quote fixed?

Yes, once agreed in writing after the survey. It changes only if the goods or services change.

How do I pay?

80% of the agreed amount is paid at the loading point, and the remaining 20% at delivery. We issue receipts and a GST invoice.

Will I definitely get a closed container truck?

Closed container trucks are supplied subject to availability. In the rainy season most customers ask for one, so it is not possible to provide one to everyone. Ask early if you need one.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Yes. Tell us as early as possible. See our terms and conditions for details.

Packing and moving day

Do I need to pack anything myself?

No. We pack everything. You only need to keep valuables, documents and medicines with you.

What items will you not carry?

We do not carry flower pots or plants, or pets and other animals: pots break in transit, and animals cannot be looked after in a goods vehicle. We also do not carry filled gas cylinders, petrol, explosives, chemicals, perishables, cash, jewellery or illegal items.

Do you dismantle and re-assemble furniture?

Yes, for carpenter-made furniture with nuts and bolts, such as double beds: our team opens it and fits it again at the new home. Branded or company-made furniture needs the company's own skilled fitter; we arrange one, and you pay the fitter directly or through us.

Do you disconnect and install appliances?

We uninstall window ACs, RO purifiers, geysers and TVs and carry them to the new home. Fitting them there needs a skilled technician, whom we call and whose cost is added to your bill. Split ACs need a technician for both uninstalling and installing; the cost is charged to you, or we put you in direct touch with the technician.

What is not included in your scope?

Electrician, carpenter and plumber work is done only on request, at extra charge. Handyman (HMS) services, long carry (carrying goods a long way between the vehicle and the door) and other extra work are not included in our scope.

Intercity moves and vehicles

How long will my goods take to reach?

About 1 to 2 days for up to 600 km, 3 to 5 days for 1,000 to 1,500 km and 6 to 8 days for 2,000 km, by dedicated truck.

Can I track my shipment?

Yes. Your coordinator shares updates on the vehicle's location and expected arrival.

Can you transport my car?

Yes, on an open or closed car carrier. See car transport.

Safety, insurance and storage

What if something is damaged?

Note it on the delivery receipt and tell us within 24 hours with photos. If you took transit insurance, we help with the claim.

Do you offer storage?

Yes, short and long term, in a dry, pest-controlled warehouse. See storage.
