What we move from Chennai to Erode
Household relocation
A flat or an independent house, or only part of one. The quote follows a room-by-room list that includes the loft, balcony and storeroom.
Office moving
Desks, chairs, cupboards, computers, printers and file boxes, planned around your closure days. See our office shifting page for how office moves are handled.
Shop goods
Display racks, counters and boxed stock. Describe the stock first, so acceptance and handling can be confirmed before you book.
Furniture and appliances
Cots, wardrobes, sofas, fridges and washing machines, with dismantling and reassembly as choices to agree in the work order.
Packing, loading and unloading
From full packing to transport only. Loading in Chennai and unloading in Erode are separate jobs on the quote.
Bike and car enquiries
A two-wheeler or car is quoted as a separate item. Confirm whether it travels with your goods.
Sort the inventory by category
Keep one master list with a separate part for each category. Give every carton and large item a code, so goods for different places in Erode never get mixed.
| Code | What goes in it | How to count | Label example |
|---|---|---|---|
| H – Household | Furniture, appliances, kitchen, clothes, books, personal items | Cartons per room, plus each large item | H-Kitchen-04 → Erode home |
| O – Office | Desks, chairs, cupboards, computers, printers, file boxes | Equipment by serial number; file boxes by department | O-Accounts-02 → Erode office |
| S – Shop | Racks, counters, display units, boxed stock | Fixtures by piece; stock cartons with the item count written on each | S-Stock-12 (24 pcs) → Erode shop |
Write the same code on the packing list agreed at pickup. At delivery, counting by code shows quickly whether anything is missing.
Access at a home, shop or office
| Home | Shop | Office | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entrance | Main door and bedroom door widths | Shutter width and height | Main entrance or separate goods entry |
| Stairs and lift | Floor, lift size, staircase turns | Upper floor or godown stairs | Goods lift, if any |
| Vehicle stop | How close a vehicle can park | Street-front parking near the shutter | Loading point or basement access |
| Timing | Any association rules on moving hours | Hours that suit your street or market | Building's permitted delivery hours |
| Who signs | You or a named family member | Owner or a named staff member | A person authorised by the company |
If goods are going to more than one Erode address, ask whether separate drops can be arranged, and make sure each appears on the quote.
Shop stock and unusual goods
Describe the stock before booking: what it is, roughly how many cartons, and any very heavy pieces. Acceptance and handling are confirmed on the quote. Machinery, bulk material and anything unusual are not a standard service, so describe them first and you'll be told whether they can be taken.
Business goods may need documents in transit. Ask before booking which ones apply to your goods; they depend on what you are moving.
Erode city or elsewhere in the district
Give the exact receiving address with pincode and a landmark, and say whether it is in Erode city or another town in the district. Whether and how goods can be delivered there is confirmed before quoting.
Few items to full house: how the quote changes
| Move | Quote built from | Labour goes mostly into | Vehicle usually discussed | Often missed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A few items or furniture only | Each item with size | Wrapping and carrying | Shared load | Dismantling, which still takes labour |
| 1 BHK | Room list | Kitchen and fragile packing | Shared load or small dedicated truck | Balcony and loft items |
| 2 or 3 BHK | Room list or survey | Cartons, wardrobes, cots | Dedicated truck, depending on volume | Storeroom and terrace items |
| Small shop | Fixture list and carton count | Dismantling racks, carrying stock | Depends on volume | Counters and signboards |
| Small office | Equipment and furniture list | Equipment packing and labelling | Depends on volume and closure days | Cabling, UPS and server items |
Fixed rates by size are not published, because volume and access vary too much. The more complete the list, the closer the quote is to the final bill.
Packing choices for furniture, appliances and equipment
| Item | One choice | The other choice |
|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe or cot | Dismantled, with fittings bagged and tagged | Moved whole, if it fits doors and stairs at both ends |
| Fridge and washing machine | You prepare them as the manufacturer's transport instructions say | Ask whether disconnection and reconnection can be arranged |
| TV, monitors, desktops | Original boxes, if you still have them | Padded cartons, with cables labelled per machine |
| Glassware and crockery | Packed by the crew and listed as fragile | Packed by you, marked as self-packed on the list |
| Shop racks and display units | Dismantled, shelves bundled and counted | Moved whole, if the shutter and vehicle allow |
| Office files | Sealed and numbered by department | Confidential records carried by an authorised person |
Write each choice into the work order so the crew and the quote match.
Transport only or full service
Transport only
You pack, label and count everything. The goods are moved from your Chennai address to the Erode address. Confirm on the quote who loads and unloads, and how self-packed cartons are treated if something is damaged.
Agreed full service
The crew packs, dismantles where agreed, loads, transports, unloads and places goods by code. Reassembly and unpacking are added only if they are in the work order.
Which level is available for your move is confirmed with the quote. You can also mix them, for example crew packing for the home and self-packed stock cartons for the shop.
Shared load or dedicated truck
| Shared load | Dedicated truck | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Usually lower | Higher |
| Arrival | Flexible delivery window | Easier to plan around a set day |
| Labels | Essential, because your goods share space with other consignments | Still useful when there is more than one Erode address |
| Suits | A few items or furniture only | A full house, a shop, an office or a combined move |
Availability depends on the load and booking date; the expected window comes with the quote, not as a fixed promise.
