Why Families in Chennai Choose Us
Itemised quote in writing
Your quote lists packing material, labour and transport separately, so you know what you are paying for. Tell us about stairs, lift size and parking at both homes while we prepare it, and those are worked into the price from the start.
Vehicle chosen for your street
In areas like Mylapore, Triplicane and parts of T. Nagar, a big truck often can't reach the gate. We plan the vehicle size around your street and building, not just the number of items.
Packing that suits Chennai weather
Humidity and sudden rain are part of life here. Ask for a waterproof outer layer on sofas, mattresses, wooden furniture and electronics, and it will be shown in your packing plan.
ISO certified, 5 years in Chennai
We are an ISO certified relocation business with five years of moving homes and offices across Chennai and on routes to Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi and other cities.
Transit insurance can be arranged
For household goods and vehicles, insurance can be added to your move. Read the cover, exclusions and claim process before you decide, so there are no doubts later.
Storage when dates don't match
If your new flat isn't ready yet, or you are moving abroad for a while, your goods can stay in our warehouse storage until you need them back.

House Shifting in Chennai: Things Worth Knowing
Every city has its own shifting headaches, and Chennai is no different. A little planning around these points saves a lot of stress on moving day.
The northeast monsoon (October to December)
A heavy shower can start right when loading begins. If you are moving during these months, keep a little flexibility in your date and time, ask for waterproof covering on furniture and mattresses, and let us know if your street tends to get waterlogged, as some parts of Velachery and Pallikaranai do.
Apartment rules on OMR and in gated communities
Most societies in Sholinganallur, Perungudi, Navalur and Siruseri ask for a gate pass or an NOC from the owner, a service lift booking and shifting only during fixed hours. Sort these out with the association office 2 to 3 days before your move, at both the old and the new building.
Narrow streets in old Chennai
In Mylapore, Triplicane, Royapettah and Sowcarpet, parked two-wheelers and tight turns decide how smoothly the move goes. A photo of your street and building entrance helps us suggest the right vehicle and plan how far items need to be carried.
Aadi month and the Thai rush
Many families avoid shifting during Aadi (mid-July to mid-August), so slots are easier to get in that period. From Thai (mid-January) onwards, and at every month-end when leases change, demand goes up. Plan earlier if your move falls on these dates.
What is the Process for Home Shifting Services in Chennai?
Use these six checks when arranging a home move. Confirm the services included in your written quote and agree the plan with the team before booking.
Booking:
Share your item inventory, pickup and destination, preferred dates and access requirements. Request an itemised written quote and confirm availability before booking.
Packing plan:
Agree the packing materials and handling for fragile or bulky items. Confirm which dismantling or special packing tasks are included.
Transport arrangements:
Confirm the transport arrangement, pickup and delivery windows and the updates available during transit. Ask about any insurance policy terms.
Delivery access:
Check parking, entry permissions, lift suitability, stairs and carrying distance at the destination. Agree unloading and placement requirements.
Unpacking and setup:
Confirm whether unpacking, furniture reassembly and any equipment setup are included or need separate arrangements.
Inventory check:
Check delivered items against the agreed inventory and note their condition. Keep the quote, inventory, receipts and relevant delivery records.
Which Vehicle Will Your Move Need?
A vehicle that is too small means a second trip. One that is too big means paying for empty space. Here is a rough guide for local shifting in Chennai:
| Vehicle | Usually suits |
|---|---|
| Tata Ace / mini truck | 1RK, bachelor room, a few items, narrow lanes |
| 8 to 9 ft pickup | 1BHK with basic furniture |
| 14 ft truck | 2BHK |
| 17 to 19 ft truck | 3BHK or a fully furnished 2BHK |
| 20 to 32 ft container | Villas, office shifting and intercity moves |
The final vehicle depends on your actual item list and access at both addresses. We suggest it after seeing your inventory.

View Published Moving RatesSimple Tips Before Your Shifting Day
- Clear out what you don't use. Sell or give away old items a week or two before the move. Fewer items means a smaller vehicle and a lower bill.
- Keep a personal bag aside. Cash, jewellery, original documents, medicines, chargers and your laptop should travel with you, not in the truck.
- Take photos of wire connections behind the TV, Wi-Fi router and computer before unplugging. Setting up at the new house becomes much easier.
- Defrost the fridge a day before and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the washing machine and other appliances.
- Pack a first-night box with bedsheets, a few utensils, toiletries and a change of clothes, so you don't have to open ten cartons the first night.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do packers and movers charge in Chennai?
For local shifting, a 1RK usually costs ₹3,500 to ₹6,800, a 1BHK ₹5,000 to ₹10,000, a 2BHK ₹8,000 to ₹15,500 and a 3BHK ₹12,000 to ₹23,000. The final price depends on the number of items, floor and lift access at both places, carrying distance, packing needed and the distance between the two homes.
Will there be extra charges on the shifting day?
Extra charges usually come from things that weren't mentioned while quoting, like added items, no working lift, or the truck having to park far from the building. Share these details upfront so they are part of your written quote, and agree the cost of any change before that work starts.
How many days in advance should I book?
For a local move, 3 to 7 days is usually enough. For month-end dates, weekends and January to February, book 10 to 15 days ahead. For intercity moves, start at least a week before.
How long does local house shifting take?
A 1BHK with lift access can usually be packed, moved and unloaded in a single day. A larger home takes longer, mainly because of packing the kitchen, dismantling furniture and carrying items down stairs. For a 3BHK or villa, packing is often started a day earlier.
Can I shift on a Sunday or a holiday?
Many people prefer Sundays so they don't have to take leave. Tell us your preferred date and we will let you know the availability. Also check whether your apartment association allows shifting on that day.
What items should not be packed with household goods?
LPG cylinders with gas, petrol or diesel cans, firecrackers, acids, paint thinner and perishable food should not go with your household goods. Keep cash, gold, important documents and medicines with you.
Do you provide transit insurance?
Yes, transit insurance can be arranged for household goods and vehicles. It is not included by default. Check the cover, exclusions, premium and claim process before you choose it.
Is it safe to shift during the rainy season in Chennai?
Yes, with the right packing. Ask for a waterproof outer layer on furniture, mattresses and electronics, and keep some flexibility in your timing between October and December in case of heavy rain.
Can I store my household goods in Chennai for some time?
Yes, warehouse storage is available. Share your item list and how long you need storage, and the charges will be quoted based on the volume and storage period.
Are you IBA approved?
No, we are not IBA approved. For a company-paid relocation, check with your employer which documents they need, and ask us which quote, inventory and receipt records we can provide before you book.
