How is ShiftingApp different from other moving marketplaces?

ShiftingApp operates with zero brokerage fees and a comparison-first model where verified movers compete for your booking.

How do I book a moving company on ShiftingApp?

Booking on ShiftingApp takes four simple steps: (1) Enter your moving details including city, date, and item list. (2) Receive quotes from up to 6 verified movers within minutes. (3) Compare prices, read reviews, and negotiate if needed. (4) Confirm your preferred mover online with digital confirmation. No advance payment is required to book. Your mover handles everything from pickup to delivery, with live GPS tracking throughout the journey.

How do I avoid fraud by fake movers in India?

To avoid fraud by fake movers: (1) Only book movers who are GST-registered and have verifiable customer reviews. (2) Never pay more than 10-20% advance before your goods are loaded. (3) Insist on a written contract listing all items and charges. (4) Avoid unusually low quotes because they often lead to surprise charges at delivery. ShiftingApp lists only background-verified, GST-registered service providers with transparent pricing and no hidden fees, helping protect customers from fraudulent movers. Every provider undergoes 4-stage verification including physical office checks.

Is moving insurance necessary?

Moving insurance is highly recommended but not always mandatory. It covers damage or loss during transportation. ShiftingApp's verified movers offer two types: basic coverage (limited liability) and comprehensive (full value protection). Costs are typically 1-3% of total move value. For high-value items (jewelry, electronics, antiques), comprehensive insurance is strongly advised. Check coverage details and claim process in your quote before booking.

How long does a move typically take?

A move typically takes 1 day for local moves (same city), 2-4 days for intercity (100-500 km), and 5-10 days for long-distance (500+ km). Duration depends on inventory size, traffic, and route. Movers typically arrive 8-10am and finish by 6-8pm on moving day. Transit time includes driving and mandatory stops. ShiftingApp movers provide estimated timelines in their quotes. Track your shipment in real-time for accurate arrival predictions.

Beware of Shifting Fraud — ShiftingApp Protects You

If a packers and movers company quotes dramatically lower than others, it's likely a scam.

पैकर्स एंड मूवर्स — अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

पैकर्स एंड मूवर्स का खर्चा कितना आता है?

लोकल शिफ्टिंग (शहर के अंदर) 1 BHK के लिए ₹3,000 से ₹8,000 तक। इंटरसिटी शिफ्टिंग 1 BHK के लिए ₹8,000 से ₹20,000 तक। खर्चा सामान की मात्रा, दूरी, फ्लोर और पैकिंग पर निर्भर करता है। ShiftingApp पर फ्री कोट लें।

क्या ShiftingApp के मूवर्स भरोसेमंद हैं?

हाँ। ShiftingApp पर हर पार्टनर GSTIN वेरिफाइड है, ट्रांजिट इंश्योरेंस है, बैकग्राउंड चेक हुआ है और कस्टमर रेटिंग 4.0/5 से ऊपर है। 4.0 से कम रेटिंग वाले पार्टनर को हटा दिया जाता है।

शिफ्टिंग में सामान टूटने पर क्या होगा?

ShiftingApp के सभी पार्टनर गुड्स-इन-ट्रांजिट इंश्योरेंस देते हैं। सामान की वैल्यू का 1–3% इंश्योरेंस प्रीमियम होता है। नुकसान होने पर 7–14 वर्किंग डेज में क्लेम प्रोसेस होता है। बुकिंग से पहले इंश्योरेंस कवरेज जरूर कन्फर्म करें।

एडवांस पेमेंट कितना देना होगा?

ज्यादातर मूवर्स 10-20% एडवांस पेमेंट मांगते हैं। बाकी 80-90% पेमेंट डिलीवरी के बाद करनी होती है। कभी भी 100% एडवांस न दें — यह फ्रॉड का संकेत है। ShiftingApp रेकमेंड करता है कि मैक्सिमम 20% एडवांस दें और बैलेंस सामान मिलने के बाद ही दें।
