Customer Questions

Household Shifting

11 Answers

What should I share before accepting a household shifting quote?+

Share BHK size, heavy furniture, appliances, fragile goods, floor numbers, lift availability, parking distance, society rules, and preferred date. These details decide crew size, packing material, truck plan, and quote confidence.

Does Marshal pack everything in a home move?+

Marshal can pack regular household goods, fragile items, furniture, appliances, and cartons when the packing scope is included in writing. Personal documents, cash, jewellery, medicines, and restricted goods should stay with the customer.

Can I move locally and intercity through the same team?+

Yes. Local and intercity household moves follow different pricing and planning, but both need inventory, packing, access, route, timing, and delivery details before quote lock.

Why does lift access change a home shifting quote?+

Lift access changes labour time, carrying distance, crew fatigue, and damage risk. If a lift is unavailable, too small, or restricted by timing, the crew plan and price may change.

Can I keep some cartons packed by myself?+

Yes, but self-packed cartons should be sealed, labelled, and declared clearly. Fragile or high-value goods are safer when Marshal knows the packing condition before pickup.

How early should I book a local home move?+

For local moves, book once the date, society timing, lift slot, and destination access are clear. Month-end, weekend, and high-rise moves should be planned earlier.

What should I do before the packing crew arrives?+

Separate valuables, documents, medicines, keys, chargers, and personal essentials. Keep society permission, lift timing, parking access, and destination contact ready.

Can fragile items be packed separately?+

Yes. Glassware, crockery, mirrors, artwork, electronics, and appliances should be listed separately so the packing grade and handling note are clear before the quote is locked.

Do I need a physical survey for household shifting?+

A survey is useful when the home has many items, fragile goods, difficult access, storage needs, or uncertainty in volume. Smaller moves can often start with the calculator.

Will the same price apply if I add items later?+

Added goods can change packing material, labour, vehicle space, and handling time. Marshal should update the written scope before move day if inventory changes.

How are cartons labelled during a home move?+

Cartons should be marked by room, item type, fragile status, and delivery priority. This helps unloading, placement, and claim documentation if needed.

Customer Questions

Vehicle Transport

8 Answers

What affects bike or car transport pricing?+

Vehicle type, pickup and delivery pincodes, carrier mode, route, insurance, fuel level, pickup access, and delivery timing affect vehicle transport pricing.

What should I check before handing over a vehicle?+

Keep RC, insurance copy, owner ID, pickup photos, fuel level, accessories, and existing scratches documented before handover. Remove personal items from the vehicle.

Is vehicle transport packed or covered?+

The protection method depends on carrier type and route. Marshal confirms wrapping, loading, transit handover, inspection photos, and insurance terms before pickup.

Should the fuel tank be full during vehicle transport?+

No. Keep only limited fuel for loading and unloading movement. Remove personal belongings, loose accessories, toll tags if needed, and any documents not required for transport.

Will my bike be moved with household goods?+

It depends on route, vehicle type, space, and protection method. Marshal confirms whether the bike moves as an add-on or standalone vehicle transport before quote lock.

Read 3 More
Do I get pickup and delivery photos?+

Condition photos are recommended at pickup and delivery, especially for scratches, dents, accessories, mirrors, and odometer reading.

What if the vehicle is not running?+

Non-running vehicles need special handling and should be declared before quoting. Loading method, manpower, and destination unloading support may change the price.

Can vehicle delivery date be guaranteed?+

Marshal can share a practical transit window. Exact delivery depends on route, carrier plan, access, traffic, and weather. Urgent movement may need a different carrier option.

Customer Questions

Storage And Warehousing

8 Answers

What details are needed for storage pricing?+

Storage pricing depends on item volume, duration, packing condition, pickup access, retrieval plan, handling frequency, and whether goods need extra protection before storage.

Should goods be packed before storage?+

Yes. Furniture, appliances, cartons, and fragile goods should be wrapped or packed for storage condition, not only for transport. Inventory indexing helps retrieval.

Can I retrieve only part of my stored goods?+

Partial retrieval depends on inventory indexing, warehouse access, service schedule, and handling terms. Confirm retrieval expectations before storage pickup.

What should not be placed in storage?+

Avoid cash, jewellery, documents, food, plants, flammable goods, leaking liquids, medicines, and items that need temperature control unless a suitable arrangement is confirmed.

How is storage inventory recorded?+

Inventory should be recorded by item, carton, room, condition, and special handling note. Photos and labels make retrieval and claims easier.

Read 3 More
Can storage goods be delivered to a different city later?+

Yes, if the destination, route, access, packing condition, and transport service are confirmed. Retrieval and onward transport should be planned before dispatch.

Do storage goods need insurance?+

Insurance depends on declared value, storage duration, goods type, and risk terms. High-value goods should be declared before pickup.

How much notice is needed for retrieval?+

Notice depends on warehouse schedule, item count, access, transport availability, and destination plan. Confirm retrieval terms when booking storage.

Customer Questions

Commercial And Office Moves

8 Answers

How is an office move different from a home move?+

Office moves need asset lists, department ownership, IT handling, workstation mapping, lift and gate permissions, downtime windows, and delivery placement planning.

Can Marshal move offices after work hours or on weekends?+

Yes, when slots, permissions, crew, and vehicle planning are confirmed. Weekend or after-hours moves should be scheduled early because building and truck access can be limited.

What business documents may be needed?+

Gate passes, delivery challans, asset lists, authorization letters, invoice or e-way bill details, and destination contact details may be needed depending on goods and route.

How should IT assets be prepared?+

Back up data, label cables, map workstations, record serial numbers, and decide who disconnects and reconnects servers, desktops, monitors, and network devices.

Can office furniture be dismantled and reassembled?+

Dismantling and reassembly can be included when confirmed in scope. Modular furniture, workstations, and fixtures need clear photos and site access details.

Read 3 More
How do you reduce business downtime?+

Downtime reduces when departments, assets, floor plans, packing order, lift slots, loading timing, and placement sequence are agreed before move day.

Can Marshal move retail stock or warehouse goods?+

Yes, when stock count, packaging, invoice details, loading support, route, and delivery handover are clear. Some jobs may be priced as logistics instead of office shifting.

Who should be present during an office move?+

A business coordinator should be available at pickup and delivery for access, asset sign-off, placement decisions, and exception handling.

Customer Questions

Logistics And Freight

8 Answers

What is the difference between PTL and FTL?+

PTL shares truck space with other consignments and is usually priced by weight or volume. FTL books a dedicated vehicle and is better for urgent, bulky, or controlled shipments.

What details affect logistics quotes?+

Weight, volumetric size, pickup and delivery pincodes, loading help, packaging, invoice details, route, delivery timeline, and vehicle type affect logistics pricing.

Can household goods move as logistics cargo?+

Some goods can, but household relocation usually needs packing, handling, inventory, and placement support beyond freight movement. Marshal confirms the right service mode before quoting.

When should I choose FTL?+

Choose FTL when you need dedicated vehicle control, faster delivery, bulky volume, sensitive goods, or fewer handovers.

When should I choose PTL?+

Choose PTL when the shipment is smaller, flexible on timing, and suitable for shared movement by weight or volume.

Read 3 More
Why is volumetric weight important?+

Light but bulky goods take truck space. Logistics pricing often compares actual weight and volumetric weight to decide chargeable weight.

Do logistics shipments need invoices?+

Business shipments usually need invoice, e-way bill, delivery address, contact details, and item description depending on route and value.

Can fragile freight be accepted?+

Fragile freight needs proper packaging, declaration, and handling terms before pickup. Some fragile goods may need a dedicated vehicle or special packing.

Customer Questions

Pricing And Payments

8 Answers

Why can moving quotes vary so much in India?+

Quotes vary because inventory volume, packing quality, floors, lift access, truck type, route, timing, and insurance change the real execution cost. Marshal explains these factors before locking the quote.

Is the online estimate the final price?+

The online estimate is a planning range. The final quote is confirmed after Marshal checks goods, packing, route, and building access.

What is OTP payment release?+

OTP payment release means the final payment is confirmed only after delivery placement, giving the customer more control than typical cash-before-unloading practices.

What can increase the final quote after an estimate?+

Extra items, wrong floors, no lift, long carry, difficult parking, date change, extra packing, storage, insurance, or route change can increase the final quote.

Should I pay the full amount before pickup?+

Avoid unclear full-payment demands. Marshal explains payment stages, scope, and delivery confirmation before booking.

Read 3 More
Do low online quotes mean lower final cost?+

Not always. A low quote without inventory, access, packing, and route details can become expensive on move day. Compare written scope, not only the first number.

Will GST be shown separately?+

Applicable taxes and invoice terms should be shown clearly before final quote acceptance.

Can I change the move date after booking?+

Date changes depend on crew, vehicle, route, and cancellation terms. Inform Marshal early so the quote and schedule can be updated.

Customer Questions

City And Route Moves

8 Answers

Which cities does Marshal serve?+

Marshal plans public coverage for Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi NCR, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and supports additional pincodes depending on service availability.

Do you handle society permissions and lift rules?+

The customer must arrange building permissions, but Marshal helps identify lift, parking, NOC, and timing requirements before move day.

Why do route pages matter before booking?+

Route pages explain transit window, access risks, packing needs, route friction, and cost drivers so customers know what to confirm before accepting a mover quote.

Why do Mumbai moves need access checks?+

Mumbai moves often involve society permissions, lift slots, tight lanes, parking distance, and traffic timing. These details affect labour and vehicle planning.

Why do Bangalore moves need route planning?+

Bangalore moves can be affected by apartment access, traffic corridors, tech-park timing, and parking limits. Confirm pickup and delivery windows early.

Read 3 More
Can Marshal handle intercity household routes?+

Yes, when pickup, delivery, packing, route, insurance, transit window, and access details are confirmed before dispatch.

Are route prices fixed across all dates?+

No. Month-end demand, weekends, vehicle availability, weather, route disruption, and access windows can affect price and delivery timing.

Can pickup and delivery happen on different floors?+

Yes, but both pickup and delivery floor, lift, stair, and long-carry details must be captured because both sides affect labour.

Customer Questions

Insurance And Claims

8 Answers

Is transit insurance included?+

Basic risk terms and optional transit insurance depend on the service. High-value goods should always be declared and insured separately.

How do I raise a damage claim?+

Claims should be raised quickly with photos, booking details, and item documentation. The terms page explains service-wise claim windows and liability limits.

What items need special declaration?+

High-value electronics, antiques, fragile glass, marble, artwork, instruments, appliances, and unusual goods should be declared before packing so risk and insurance can be discussed.

What proof helps in a claim?+

Pickup photos, item condition notes, declared value, packing photos, delivery photos, invoice copies, and immediate written reporting help claim review.

Are self-packed goods covered the same way?+

Self-packed goods can be harder to verify. Declare fragile or valuable contents and discuss risk terms before pickup.

Read 3 More
When should I report damage?+

Report visible damage as soon as possible at delivery with photos and booking details. Delayed reports are harder to verify.

Does insurance cover sentimental value?+

Insurance usually depends on declared monetary value and policy terms. Sentimental or irreplaceable items should be carried personally where possible.

Can Marshal move high-value goods?+

High-value goods can be discussed, but they need declaration, suitable packing, insurance review, and written handling notes before quote lock.

Customer Questions

Popular Routes

5 Answers

What should I confirm for a Mumbai to Pune move?+

Confirm pickup society timing, destination lift slot, packing grade, parking distance, route date, and whether delivery must happen same day or next day.

Why do Mumbai to Bangalore moves need a better inventory list?+

Longer routes have more handling, transit time, and claim risk. A clear inventory, fragile declaration, and packing grade reduce quote and delivery disputes.

Can Delhi NCR moves have different pickup rules by locality?+

Yes. Gated societies, builder floors, basement parking, security gates, and vehicle-entry rules vary by locality, so access details should be captured before quote lock.

Do route prices change during month-end?+

They can. Crew, vehicle availability, loading slots, and demand are tighter around month-end and weekends, so earlier booking gives more control.

Can one truck carry household goods and a bike on an intercity route?+

Sometimes, but it depends on inventory volume, bike size, packing method, route, and vehicle plan. Confirm it before accepting the final quote.

Customer Questions

Items And Special Goods

5 Answers

How should TVs and monitors be packed?+

Screens should be declared, photographed, protected with suitable material, and kept upright where required. Original boxes help but are not mandatory if packing is planned.

Can plants be moved?+

Plants are risky and may be restricted on some routes. Soil, leakage, temperature, and breakage risks should be discussed before pickup.

How should glass tops and mirrors be declared?+

Glass tops, mirrors, marble tops, and framed artwork should be listed separately so packing material, handling, and claim terms are clear.

Do appliances need preparation before moving?+

Refrigerators, washing machines, AC units, geysers, and kitchen appliances should be cleaned, drained, disconnected, and declared before packing.

Should high-value electronics be insured?+

High-value electronics should be declared with approximate value, photos, and insurance discussion before pickup.
