Customer Questions

Household Shifting FAQs

12 Answers

How is household shifting cost calculated?+

Cost depends on inventory volume, distance, packing grade, floors, lift access, parking distance, timing, insurance, and whether the move is local or intercity.

Can the final price change on moving day?+

The locked quote does not change for the agreed goods list, packing, route, and access details. If inventory or access details were not disclosed, Marshal explains the change before continuing.

Do you pack fragile and electronic items?+

Yes. Fragile and electronic items should be declared before move day so the correct packing material and handling instructions are planned.

Do you handle society lift and timing rules?+

The customer arranges society permissions, but Marshal captures lift, loading bay, parking, timing, and NOC constraints before execution.

What information should I give for a 1 BHK or 2 BHK move?+

Share BHK size, room count, large furniture, appliances, fragile items, pickup and delivery floors, lift access, parking distance, and preferred move date.

Can Marshal quote without a physical survey?+

Small moves can start with the calculator. A survey is recommended when the home has many items, fragile goods, difficult access, or unclear inventory volume.

Read 6 More
What should I pack myself?+

Keep cash, jewellery, original documents, medicines, keys, chargers, valuables, and overnight essentials with you. Declare fragile or high-value goods before packing.

Can I add or remove items after the estimate?+

Yes, but the written scope must be updated before quote lock. Added items can change packing material, labour, vehicle space, and handling time.

How does long carry affect household shifting?+

Long carry means the crew must walk goods between the home and vehicle. It affects labour time, manpower, damage risk, and quote accuracy.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?+

Basic dismantling and reassembly can be included when confirmed in writing. Complex carpentry, wall mounting, plumbing, and electrical work need separate agreement.

How are fragile kitchen and glass items handled?+

Fragile kitchen, glass, and decor items should be packed separately with suitable material and marked clearly so loading and unloading teams know the handling risk.

What happens if the destination lift is unavailable?+

Destination lift issues can change labour and timing. Marshal should be told before dispatch when lift, stairs, or parking access is uncertain.
