Our 6-Step Local Shifting Process in Cochin
Step 1: Free Home Survey
Schedule a free pre-move survey at your Cochin residence. Our experienced surveyor visits your home, assesses the volume of goods, notes special items requiring extra care (antiques, electronics, glass items), checks access conditions (lift availability, parking space, staircase width), and understands your specific requirements. The surveyor evaluates challenges like narrow lanes in areas like Mattancherry or parking restrictions in busy zones like Palarivattom. This detailed assessment ensures accurate quotation and smooth execution. Survey can be conducted in-person or virtually via video call for your convenience. No obligation, completely free.
Step 2: Detailed Quotation
Within 2-4 hours of survey completion, receive a comprehensive written quotation via email and WhatsApp. The quote breaks down all costs—packing materials, labour charges, transportation, insurance, any applicable extra charges for floor carry or lift usage. No hidden fees or surprise charges. The estimate includes item inventory list, packing material specifications, vehicle type assigned, estimated time for completion, and terms of insurance coverage. Our pricing remains valid for 7 days. Compare our transparent rates with competitors—we're confident in our value proposition. Request clarifications anytime; our team explains every line item.
Step 3: Booking Confirmation
Once you approve the quotation, confirm your preferred shifting date and time slot. We accommodate your schedule, including early morning starts to avoid Cochin traffic, weekend moves, or evening relocations. Pay a nominal booking advance (typically 10-15% of total) via bank transfer, UPI, or online payment. Receive booking confirmation with assigned team details, supervisor contact number, vehicle registration information, and detailed timeline. We send reminders 48 hours and 24 hours before moving day. Pre-move checklist shared to help you prepare—items to keep separately, valuables to carry personally, etc.
Step 4: Professional Packing
Our trained packing crew arrives at your doorstep on schedule with all necessary materials—corrugated boxes in multiple sizes, bubble wrap rolls, foam sheets, packing paper, stretch film, furniture blankets, and specialized crating materials. The team systematically packs room by room, using appropriate techniques for different items. Fragile items receive multi-layer protection, electronics are packed in shock-proof materials, clothes are packed in wardrobe boxes, and furniture is wrapped in padding. Each box is labeled with content description and destination room for easy unpacking. Furniture dismantling done carefully with parts labeled. Heavy appliances like refrigerators and washing machines are secured properly for transit.
Step 5: Safe Transportation
Packed goods are loaded systematically into our well-maintained covered vehicle—heavy items at the bottom, lighter boxes on top, with proper securing using ropes and padding to prevent movement during transit. Our drivers are experienced in navigating Cochin's roads, from congested areas like Kaloor Junction to the wider roads of Kakkanad. They plan routes considering traffic patterns, road conditions, and weather forecasts (especially during monsoon months). Vehicle is locked and sealed after loading. For larger moves, a supervisor accompanies the vehicle. You receive real-time updates during transit. GPS tracking available for select service tiers, giving you peace of mind about your belongings' location.
Step 6: Unloading & Setup
Upon reaching your new Cochin home, our team carefully unloads all items, placing boxes in designated rooms as per labels. Furniture is reassembled at desired locations—beds set up, dining tables fixed, wardrobes installed. We ensure proper placement to save you effort. Unpacking service available on request where we unpack boxes, arrange items on shelves, and remove packing debris. Final inventory check conducted to confirm all items delivered safely. You inspect goods and provide feedback. Our supervisor addresses any concerns immediately. Post-move support continues—if any assembly issue arises within 48 hours, we return to fix it at no extra cost. Payment settled after your complete satisfaction.

Custom wooden crating was prepared a day before. Everything reached safely — even the 80-year-old grandfather clock that has been in the family. Premium service at..."

Bike arrived in same condition, not a single scratch. Photos were shared at pickup and delivery. Insurance papers handed over without me asking."
