How many days before should I book packers and movers?
We recommend booking at least 3-5 days in advance for local moves and 7-10 days for intercity moves. However, we also offer same-day shifting for urgent requirements within Kolkata.
Do packers and movers provide packing materials?

What items can packers and movers not transport?
We cannot transport hazardous materials, flammable liquids, explosives, perishable food items, live plants, and pets. Valuables like jewellery and important documents should be carried personally.

How do I file a complaint if something is damaged?
You can file a complaint through our website's complaint section, call our helpline at +91 82602 07030, or visit our office. We address all complaints within 48 hours and process insurance claims promptly.
What is the difference between full truck load and part load?
Full Truck Load (FTL) means the entire truck is dedicated to your goods — faster but costlier. Part Load means your goods share truck space with others — more affordable but may take longer.

Yes, we operate year-round including monsoon season. We use waterproof lamination and cargo sheets to protect goods from rain and moisture during transport.
Can I get a free estimate without a home visit?
