The same four steps whether it is a single pallet or a full project consignment.
You tell us the cargo, the lane and the deadline. We come back with the routing options that actually fit — air, sea, FCL or LCL — and what each one costs.
We book the space and prepare the paperwork — shipping bill, invoice, packing list, certificates of origin — so nothing stalls at the gate.
Cargo is collected, packed if you need it packed, and cleared through customs by our own team rather than handed to a third party.
We track it to the destination door, tell you when it moves, and close the file with the documents you need for your own records.
Classification, valuation, licences and duty planning are done by the same people who booked the freight — so a documentation question does not become a three-day email chain.
You get a named person who knows your shipment, your commodity and your deadlines — not a ticket number and a rota.
Charges are itemised before you book. Where a cost genuinely cannot be fixed in advance, we say so up front rather than adding it at the end.
A manufacturer moving raw material on a schedule and a trader chasing a spot rate need different things from a freight partner. We plan the routing, documentation and handling around which one you are.
Most complaints in this trade start with a number given over the phone by someone who never saw the house. We survey first, then quote in writing, and the figure you sign is the figure you pay.
A move is priced on volume, distance, access and timing — in roughly that order. Volume is the honest driver: a two-bedroom flat and a four-bedroom house do not fill the same container, and no amount of negotiation changes the cubic metres. That is why we measure rather than estimate. A surveyor walks the rooms, or you walk us through them on a video call, and we count what is actually there, including the things people forget to mention — the loft, the balcony store, the second fridge, the gym equipment in the spare room.
Distance sets the mode. Within India, a road move is priced on the vehicle, the crew and the route. Going abroad, the choice is a full container, a shared container or air freight, and the right answer depends on how much you are sending and when you need it. A full container that sails half empty is money burned; a shared load that waits three weeks for a consolidation to fill is time burned. We show you both numbers and let you decide with the trade-off in front of you.
Access is the cost nobody quotes for and everybody pays. A narrow lane a lorry cannot enter, a lift the society will not release until Sunday, a fourth-floor walk-up at the delivery end, a building that only permits moves after six — each of these adds crew hours or a shuttle vehicle. We look for them at the survey and price them in, because discovering them on moving day is how a quote quietly grows by a third.
Timing is the last lever, and the one most in your control. Month-end and the weeks either side of a long weekend are the busiest in every Indian city. On the international lanes, sailing schedules tighten before the Western retail season and around the major festivals, and air capacity out of India moves with the passenger timetable. Book with a few weeks in hand and you get the slot you want at the rate we quoted. Book on Thursday for Saturday and we will still move you, but on whatever capacity is left.
Packing material and labour, the vehicle or container, loading and unloading, transit insurance, and GST — each on its own line, not rolled into one figure you cannot check.
A physical or video survey counts what is really there. An inventory you can read is also what an insurer needs if anything is damaged in transit.
Lift availability, stair carries, lane width, society timings and parking. Priced at the survey, so moving day does not produce a second invoice.
Month-end, festival weeks and the pre-peak sailing rush all cost more and offer less choice. A few weeks of notice is usually worth real money.
Export paperwork at the India end and import clearance at the destination. We prepare and file it ourselves rather than passing it to a third party.
International carriage sits under conventions that cap a carrier’s liability well below what your goods are worth. Separate transit insurance is how that gap is closed — we explain it rather than bury it.
The short answers are here. The longer ones, and the corridor-specific detail, are on the FAQ page.
Read the full FAQA ballpark on the same working day, once we know the origin, the destination and roughly how much there is. A firm written quote follows the survey, which we can usually do within a day or two in the cities we cover, and immediately by video if you are in a hurry. We do not hold a price back to create pressure — you get the number and the reasoning behind it.
For a physical survey, someone who knows the household should be there, because the value of the visit is in the questions — what is going, what is staying, what is fragile, what is being sold. A video survey works well when that is easier, and for smaller moves it is often the faster option. Either way you end up with a written inventory you can check.
Air freight moves in days and sea freight in weeks, and the honest number depends on the lane. A Gulf sailing from Nhava Sheva is a short hop; North Europe, North America and Australasia are measured in weeks and often involve a transhipment call that adds time. We give you a realistic window at quotation rather than the best case, and we tell you where the risk of slippage sits.
Ocean schedules are forecasts, not timetables — vessels get rolled and services get blanked, and any mover who promises otherwise is not being straight with you. What we control is how fast you hear about it and what we do next: the next available sailing, an alternative routing, or air on the part you cannot wait for. You hear it from us, not from a tracking page.
Transit insurance is arranged as part of the move and is quoted as its own line so you can see what it costs. It is worth understanding why it matters: international carriage sits under conventions that cap the carrier’s liability at a figure tied to weight, not to what your things are actually worth. Insurance is what covers the difference, and it is priced off the inventory you sign.
Vehicles and pets both travel regularly on our corridors, and both are governed by the destination country’s own rules rather than by us. Some countries make importing a used car straightforward; others make it expensive or effectively impossible. Pets need microchipping, vaccination records and, on many routes, a titre test with a waiting period. We handle the crating and the freight to IATA standards and tell you honestly what the destination requires before you commit.
No. We are a relocation partner, not an immigration adviser. What we do is build the physical move around the dates your employer or your adviser confirms, so a container does not arrive before you do or sit at the port accruing charges. Where storage bridges the gap, we arrange it.
That is common and it is priced accordingly. Pack-only, unpack-only, a single item, a few cartons, storage without a move, or customs clearance on a shipment somebody else is carrying — all of it is work we do. Tell us the part you want handled and we will quote that, rather than pushing a full-service package you do not need.

How our Chennai and Mumbai crews pack the irreplaceable items in an Indian household consignment — silks, gold, brass puja pieces, carved wooden furniture and the family records that no insurance policy can truly replace.
The air-or-sea choice is not about which is cheaper per kilo. It is about what a week of transit is worth to your business — and that changes the maths entirely.
