packers and movers industry is highly disjoint and opaque from ages, this more than $2 Billion dollar industry is infiltrated with technology and there are no standards needed to start this business.
Today, most customers are unfamiliar with the standard moving process and safety. This lack of knowledge could potentially cost them more money and stress than imagined.
At Aim Packers and Movers Service Provider - After successfully making thousands of house shifting in Gurgaon (Gurugram ) in the past few years, we gleaned different customer experiences, packing quality and packers movers work at a microscopic level.

Household goods:
The Household goods volume decides the type of truck needed for your shifting.

This kind of packing approximately costs around Rs 2000 to Rs 3500.
*Packing of furniture and other items may cost additional which depends on the quantity of packing material used.

Do you still feel something still missing here? You are right!
Distance.
Did I miss it?
NO.
It doesn't matter in most of the situations.
Let us clear the point. If you are shifting from DLF Phase 1 to Vatika city it's merely ~12km. It doesn't take more than 3 LTR of diesel ( approx Rs 145). Am I clear now? Even your shifting distance is 1 km or 20 km(Local within city) still the logistic cost remains same.
Except
If you are shifting from one floor to the other within the same apartment block then transport cost is reduced.
InterCity (City to City)
Distance.
It’s not only the distance that decides the cost, but also the city you transporting to.
To explain it, If you are shifting a 2BHK from Gurgaon to Pune a shared truck would cost you around Rs 15k - 20k. If you are shifting the same 2BHK from Gurgaon to Mumbai it would cost you around 14.5k to 20k. Even the distance is approx same, demand to the outwards destination brings down the cost.
Vehicle Type:
It depends on the vehicle type you prefer to choose - Shared or Dedicated truck.
If you opt for a shared truck, the truck gets shared between 2 to 3 households and the delivery may take little longer time than usual but the prices are definitely reasonable.
If you want your delivery to be fast or don’t want to share the truck one should opt for Dedicated truck. It will cost you additional Rs 15000 - 25000 more based on the distance.
Transportation will contribute >65% of the cost.
Packing:
Needless to say about the road conditions in India. Transit time ∝ Damage to goods. so the packing must be done carefully especially the glass, electronic, furniture and crockery items. Both the quantity and quality packing used is lot more than the local shifting.
It may cost from Rs 3000 - 8000 for the standard items. If you have any special and delicate artifacts it can add up to Rs 10000.
It takes up 20% of the cost.
Unpacking:
In inter city movements unpacking is not done at the destination city. Only a few pan India vendors do unpacking at the destination city.Extra charges are applicable for this.
It can cost around Rs 1000–4000.
Packing, loading, unloading and unpacking will contribute approx 20–25% of the cost.
Other Taxes:
The truck has to cross borders and pass through state highways so the standard toll charges impact your transportation charge. In few states octroi charges are applicable.
Insurance: Optional
Insurance is an optional thing but it is always advisable to take insurance for a non-local movement.
With the kind of track record our country had got in road accidents, we advise you to take insurance at least for your valuable goods if not for complete household.
It will cost you 1.5 % to 3%(Transit or full risk) of the declared goods value. Most packers and movers make insurance as mandatory.
Storage: Optional
If you still didn’t find the address in the new location.
Professional Packers and Movers will provide storage solution on day wise. Most of them will provide free storage for 5 days. And they charge a nominal price of Rs 200-500/day if you need for additonal days.
Other optionals like addition services, tips, service taxes, docket charge would be added as per needs.
Packers and movers rates - Long Haul.
Pricing is more dynamic than the local moves. Unlike local moves, many factors determine the price. Below are the mean values based on the goods volume and the destination
Remember logistic cost involved in non-local moves is relatively high. Even you have couple of boxes to shift to Pune from Hyderabad. It will most you around Rs 3500 - 4000 for a door to door delivery.
Long Haul Movements
Shared Truck
Direct Truck (14-16 feet)
Gurgaon to Bangalore (1BHK-2BHK)
Rs 24000 -28000

Gurgaon to Mumbai (1BHK-2BHK)

Rs 25000-35000
Note: These mean values are inclusive of all taxes. Excluding insurance, car transport.
On top of these, factors like brand value ( agarwal packers and movers or Leo packers and movers ) hike prices at least by 30% to 40%.
If you don’t want to pick a big brands, but want to experience superior pre and post customer support and tracking it would cost you 10% more than the market.
While speaking to our customers lot of them are confused about the moving industry price variation. And they face a lot of hardship choosing the reliable packers as per their needs.
