Packers and Movers in Anna Nagar, Chennai
Shifting in or out of Anna Nagar is a little different from other parts of Chennai. Some avenues are wide and easy for a truck, but many inner streets in Anna Nagar West, Shanthi Colony and the AA/AB/AC blocks have tree cover, parked cars on both sides and narrow gates. Older independent houses usually have staircases only, and the newer apartments near 2nd Avenue and 100 Feet Road have lift timings and association rules. We plan every Anna Nagar move keeping these things in mind, so there are no surprises on shifting day.
Our team handles local house shifting, flat shifting, office relocation, bike and car transport and intercity moves from Anna Nagar East, Anna Nagar West and Anna Nagar West Extension. Just call us on +91 7015580411, tell us what you are moving and where, and we will give you a clear, itemised quote. Any change in the moving requirements is priced before the extra work starts.

Our Services in Anna Nagar
House Shifting in Anna Nagar
Complete home shifting for 1 BHK, 2 BHK, 3 BHK flats and independent houses – packing, loading, transport and unloading, with unpacking on request. Kitchen items, crockery and glass are packed in separate cartons and clearly labelled room-wise so unpacking is easy.
Office, Clinic and Showroom Shifting in Anna Nagar
Anna Nagar has a lot of clinics, diagnostic labs, coaching centres and showrooms on 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue, Shanthi Colony and near Thirumangalam. Each of these has its own headache. A clinic has equipment that has to be packed carefully and patient files that can't go missing. A coaching centre needs benches and boards in place before the next batch starts. A showroom has stock that has to be counted out and counted in.
We tag every desk, shelf and cabinet, pack files in sealed cartons with a list, and can plan the move after closing time or on Sunday, subject to availability and building access. For bigger offices, see our office shifting page.
Bike Transport from Anna Nagar
Two-wheelers are wrapped with foam and corrugated sheet and loaded with the household goods or sent separately. Please keep the RC copy ready and the petrol tank nearly empty.
Car Transport from Anna Nagar
Car shifting within Chennai and to other cities on a car carrier. We note the car's condition with photos at pickup and delivery.
Storage for Anna Nagar Moves
If your new house is not ready yet, we can keep your goods in storage for a few days or a few months. See storage details.
Small Shifting for Students and Bachelors
Moving a single room or a PG near Anna Nagar? We do small shifts with a mini truck – a few boxes, a cot, a fridge or a washing machine. Charges start from around ₹800 for a few boxes.
Moving Out Because Your House Is Being Rebuilt
A lot of old independent houses in Anna Nagar are being given to builders for joint development and turned into apartments. If that's your situation, you're not really doing one move. You're doing two: out of the old house now, and into the new flat when the new building is ready. Planning both together helps avoid moving the same items unnecessarily.
- Take only what you'll use to the rented house. The rented flat is usually smaller. Extra cots, the old dining set and things you'll want in the new flat can go into storage.
- Pack storage items properly once. Things going into storage for months need stretch film, cartons and a list. We number every box, and you keep a copy of the list.
- Check what the builder needs cleared. Sump, overhead tank, the terrace, the car shed and the outhouse often have things nobody remembers. Arrange safe clearance of these areas with the builder before handover.
- Fixtures: if you want to keep the old wooden doors, grills or a carved pillar, tell the builder in writing and tell us. These need extra hands and sometimes a separate vehicle.
You can see storage options on our storage page.
Helping Parents Move to a Smaller Flat
Moving parents from a big independent house to a flat, or to a place closer to one of the children, is a different kind of move. The house may have decades of belongings in it, and deciding what to keep is the hard part, not the packing.
- Measure the new flat's bedrooms and hall before the move, and decide which furniture will actually fit.
- Sort things in three heaps: going to the new flat, going to a family member, and giving away. We move only the first two.
- If you live in another city, we can do a video survey with you and your parents on the call together, and send the written quote to both of you.
- Set up the bedroom and kitchen first on the day, so your parents can rest and make tea the same evening, even if other boxes stay closed.
Plan Packing for Fragile and High-Value Items
Make a separate list of fragile, bulky or high-value items. Their dimensions, condition and access route help the team assess packing and handling options before quoting.
Ask About Packing for Antiques & Teakwood
For antiques and teakwood furniture, share dimensions, condition and any parts that can be detached. Ask whether crating or additional protection can be arranged and included in the estimate. Keep a condition record before handover.
Handling Smart Appliances and Large Electronics
For TVs and appliances, provide size and model details and say whether the original packaging is available. Confirm packing, disconnection, transport and setup responsibilities. Keep a record of condition and accessories before handover.
Teakwood, Antiques and Old Family Furniture
Many older Anna Nagar homes have furniture that was made to order decades ago: solid teak cots, a carved swing (oonjal), brass lamps, glass-door showcases and heavy steel almirahs. These are not like flat-pack furniture. They are heavy, they don't always come apart, and once they get a scratch you can't simply replace them.
- Solid teak cots and dining tables are wrapped in a blanket layer first, then stretch film, so the polish doesn't rub. Legs and corners get corrugated sheet.
- Oonjal (swing): the chains and hooks are removed and packed in a separate labelled bag. Tell us if you also want it hung again at the new house.
- Showcases with glass doors: the glass is taken out where possible and protected with suitable cushioning and edge guards for the carry through the stairs.
- Brass and bronze items, pooja vessels and idols go in small, well-padded cartons. Many families like to pack the pooja shelf themselves, and we'll give you the materials.
- Old steel almirahs are emptied and carried by a team sized for their weight and access. Keep the keys with you, not inside.
- Antiques or anything very costly: tell us before the quote, so we can suggest a wooden crate and you can decide on transit insurance.
If a piece is too big for the staircase or the new door, we'll tell you during the survey, not on the shifting day.
Shifting Tips for Anna Nagar – From Our Experience
- Book 7–10 days early for month-end and Muhurtham dates. Most families in Chennai prefer an auspicious day for griha pravesam, and slots on those dates fill up fast. Aadi month is usually quieter, so if your dates are flexible you may get an easier slot then.
- Watch the monsoon. October to December is the north-east monsoon in Chennai. During this time we use plastic sheets over the loaded goods and avoid loading in open rain. Keep a backup date in mind if you are shifting in November.
- Inform your association and watchman. Gated apartments near 2nd Avenue, 100 Feet Road and in West Extension often allow shifting only in fixed hours and may ask for a lift booking or NOC. Do this 2–3 days before.
- Share a Google Maps pin. Anna Nagar has similar block and street names (Q Block, R Block, AE Block etc.), so a map pin saves a lot of time for the driver.
- Keep valuables with you. Gold, cash, documents and medicines should travel with the family, not in the truck.
Traffic and Timing Around Anna Nagar
- Koyambedu side: the market area and the roads near the bus terminus get busy from very early morning with lorries and vans. If you're moving to or from Koyambedu, Thirumangalam or the 100 Feet Road side, check market traffic, truck access and building timings before fixing the loading slot.
- 2nd Avenue and Shanthi Colony: shops, hospitals and coaching centres make the evenings heavy. Choose the loading time around the building’s rules and current traffic.
- School reopening season: many families in Anna Nagar plan their move around the school year, so May and early June get busy. Book a little earlier in those weeks.
- Metro stations: Thirumangalam, Anna Nagar Tower, Anna Nagar East and Shenoy Nagar stations have busy stretches outside them. If your house is near one, tell us so the truck can stop in the right place.

Areas We Cover in and Around Anna Nagar
Anna Nagar East (600102)
Mostly apartments and independent houses around Shanthi Colony, Anna Nagar East metro and the Kilpauk side. Many buildings here are 2–3 floors without a lift, so we send extra helpers for stair carrying and include it in the quote itself.
Anna Nagar West (600040)
Covers Round Tana, Blue Star, Anna Nagar Tower Park, Thirumangalam and the numbered main roads. Traffic on 2nd Avenue and near VR Mall gets heavy in the evenings, so we prefer early morning loading here wherever possible.
Anna Nagar West Extension (600101)
Close to Padi, Mogappair and the Ambattur side, with a mix of gated societies and individual houses. Larger trucks usually get easy access here, which helps keep the cost down for bigger moves.
Nearby areas we also serve: Aminjikarai, Arumbakkam, Shenoy Nagar, Kilpauk, Chintamani, Koyambedu, Mogappair, Padi, Villivakkam, Kolathur and Ayanavaram.

Frequently Asked Questions – Anna Nagar Shifting
How much do packers and movers charge in Anna Nagar?
For local shifting within Chennai, a 1 BHK usually costs ₹5,300 to ₹8,600, a 2 BHK ₹8,000 to ₹14,000 and a 3 BHK ₹13,400 to ₹20,800. Villas and bigger homes cost more. The exact price depends on your items, floors and distance.
Can your truck come into the narrow streets of Anna Nagar West?
In most streets, yes. Where a big truck can't enter or turn, we use a smaller vehicle like a Tata Ace to bring goods to the main road. We check this during the survey and include it in the quote, so you are not charged extra on the day.
How many days in advance should I book?
For a normal weekday, 3–4 days is usually fine. For weekends, month-end and Muhurtham dates, please book 7–10 days early.
Do you do same-day shifting in Anna Nagar?
For small loads like a single room or a few items, we can often arrange it the same day or next day, depending on availability. Just call and check.
Will you dismantle and fix my cot and wardrobe?
Yes. Our team dismantles cots, wardrobes, dining tables and similar furniture and fixes them again at the new house. Tell us during the survey so it is added in the quote.
Do you shift from Anna Nagar to Bangalore, Hyderabad and other cities?
Yes. We regularly move households from Anna Nagar to Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi. You get a pickup date and an expected delivery window in the quote.
Is my company going to reimburse your bill?
We give a proper GST invoice, inventory list and receipt. Please note we are not IBA-approved, so if your company insists on an IBA-approved mover, check with your HR before booking.
Which items will you not carry?
Gas cylinders with gas, petrol, acids, firecrackers and other inflammable items are not loaded. Gold, cash and important documents should travel with you.
Do you shift during the monsoon?
Yes. During rains we cover the goods with plastic sheets and waterproof wrap, and we avoid loading in heavy rain. If there is a red alert, we move the date in discussion with you.
My house is on the second floor with no lift. Will it cost more?
Yes, a little. The extra labour charge depends on floors, item weight and access, and is written in the quote. Many older Anna Nagar houses are like this, so it's a normal part of our work here.
Can you store my things while my house is being rebuilt?
Yes. We pack the goods for storage, number every box and give you the list. Storage is charged by the week or month, and we deliver to the new flat when it's ready.
Do you charge extra for unpacking?
Placing furniture and boxes in the right rooms is included. Opening every carton and arranging the kitchen and cupboards is optional, with the charge shown separately in your quote.
Can you shift a teak cot or an oonjal?
Yes. Heavy teak furniture is wrapped with a blanket layer and stretch film, and the swing's chains and hooks are packed separately. Tell us about these during the survey so we send enough hands.
Can I pay by UPI?
Yes. UPI, bank transfer and card are fine, and cash with a proper receipt. A small booking amount fixes the date, and the balance is paid as written in the quote.
Is a site visit compulsory?
No. For most 1 and 2 BHK moves a video call is enough. For a big independent house, an office or a redevelopment move with storage, a site visit gives a more accurate quote.
