Full moving service or transport only
Full moving service
The crew packs, loads in Chennai, unloads in Kanyakumari and carries goods to the rooms your receiver points out. Dismantling, reassembly and unpacking are included only when written into the work order.
Transport only
You pack and label everything. The quote should say who loads and unloads, and whether goods are taken inside or left at the door. Ask how self-packed cartons are treated for damage and insurance.
Which service level is available for your move is confirmed with the quote.
Shared or dedicated vehicle
| Shared load | Dedicated vehicle | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Usually lower | Higher |
| Arrival | Within a flexible window | Easier to plan around a set day |
| Receiver | Reachable across the whole window | Available on the planned day |
| Your own travel | Harder to time with the goods; rely on the receiver and essentials cartons | Easier to arrive around the same time as the goods |
| Suits | A few items | A whole home or an office |
The option open to you depends on the load and the booking date. The expected window is shared with the quote; no delivery date is promised in advance.
