Key Factors Affecting Cost
Distance — The farther you move, the higher the transport cost. Local moves within Kolkata are significantly cheaper than intercity moves.
Volume of Goods — More items = bigger vehicle = higher cost. Decluttering before your move can save you money.
Floor Level — Ground floor moves are cheapest. High-rise apartments without lift service increase labour costs.
Packing Type — Basic single-layer packing costs less than premium triple-layer packing with wooden crating.
Season — April to June is peak moving season in India. Prices can be 15-25% higher during this period.
