Household shifting · Local, intercity & all-India
Complete home relocation by a trained Apple Logistics crew: careful packing, safe loading, a vehicle sized to your goods and help with unpacking at your new home. One written quote, no hidden charges.
Household shifting in Chandigarh
Moving house is more than loading a truck. It means wrapping your crockery so it survives the drive, getting a double-door fridge down three floors of a walk-up, and making sure the beds are in place before your family sleeps that night. Apple Logistics Packers and Movers has handled household shifting in Chandigarh for more than 35 years, and every move follows the same order: survey, pack, load, transport, unload and unpack.
We shift 1 RK and 1 BHK flats, 2 and 3 BHK apartments, independent houses and kothis across Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur and Kharar, and move families from the Tricity to any city in India. Whether you are going from Sector 22 to Sector 70 in Mohali or from Chandigarh to Bengaluru, the packing standard is the same.
Before anything is packed, you get a free pre-move survey, or a quote based on a list and photos you share on WhatsApp, followed by a written quotation that shows exactly what is included. If your plans change, you can also add storage, car transport or bike transport to the same move.
Every home size
No two homes hold the same amount, so we plan the crew, materials and vehicle from your actual inventory rather than a fixed package. This is roughly what each move involves.
Studio flats, PG rooms and 1 BHK homes, usually for students, young professionals and couples.
The typical flat in Mohali, Panchkula and Zirakpur societies, with a full kitchen, two bedrooms and a living room.
Bigger flats, kothis and villas, often with a puja room, a study, a terrace and a car or bike to move as well.
Moving only a few items or a single room? Tell us what they are and we will suggest the most economical vehicle, so you do not pay for space you do not use.
Full-service moving
Each stage is handled by people who do this every day. Book the full service, or only the parts you need.
Bubble wrap, foam sheets, stretch film, packing paper and strong corrugated cartons, chosen for each item. Fragile pieces are wrapped one by one.
Every carton is numbered and marked with its room and contents, and the list is checked again at delivery.
Heavy items go in first and at the bottom, cartons are stacked by weight, and the load is tied so nothing shifts on the road.
A well-maintained vehicle matched to your volume, from a tempo for a 1 BHK to a full-size truck for a large house.
Furniture and cartons are carried to the rooms you choose, with care for floors, walls and door frames.
On request, the crew unpacks cartons and helps arrange furniture the way you want, so the home is usable on day one.
Packing that protects
Most damage in a move happens because something was packed in a hurry. These are the methods our crew uses for the things families worry about most.
| Item | How it is packed |
|---|---|
| Glassware & crockery | Each piece wrapped in packing paper and bubble wrap, packed upright in small cartons with padding, and marked fragile and this side up. |
| LED TV & monitors | The original box if you still have it; otherwise foam and bubble wrap over the screen and a corrugated sheet on top. Carried and loaded standing upright. |
| Refrigerator | Defrosted and dried a day ahead, shelves removed and packed separately, doors taped shut and the body wrapped in foam and corrugated sheets. Kept upright. |
| Washing machine | Drained fully, the drum locked with transit bolts where available, hoses packed separately, then wrapped in corrugated sheets and stretch film. |
| Wooden furniture | Beds, tables and wardrobes dismantled where possible, corners protected with foam, surfaces covered with corrugated sheets and stretch film. Screws are bagged and labelled. |
| Sofas & mattresses | Covered in stretch film or plastic covers to keep out dust and moisture, with extra padding on armrests and corners. |
| Mirrors, glass tops & paintings | Corrugated sheets on both sides with corner guards. Large or valuable glass can be packed in a wooden crate. |
| Books & files | Packed flat in small cartons, so each box stays light enough to carry safely. |
| Puja items & idols | Wrapped separately in soft cloth or foam and packed in a clearly marked carton, or handed to you to carry. |
| Kitchen & gas stove | Utensils nested and boxed; the stove is cleaned, wrapped and packed. LPG cylinders must be empty and disconnected. |
Keep cash, jewellery, important documents and daily medicines with you on moving day rather than on the truck.
Loading and unloading
Most breakages do not happen on the highway. They happen on staircases, in lifts and at the back of the truck. That is why our crew uses trolleys, sliders, lifting belts and ramps for heavy and bulky items instead of dragging them or carrying them awkwardly.
Inside the truck, the heaviest pieces, such as almirahs, fridges and washing machines, go at the bottom and against the front wall. Cartons are stacked by weight, gaps are filled with mattresses and soft items, and the load is tied with ropes and straps so that nothing moves over speed breakers or on hill roads.
At your new home we check for narrow stairs, low doorways and the size of the lift before we start, protect door frames where furniture is a tight fit, and place every item in the room you choose.
Any distance
The packing standard stays the same at any distance. What changes is the planning: the route, the vehicle, the timing and how the load is secured for the journey.
Moves within Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Kharar and nearby towns such as Dera Bassi and Pinjore.
Moves to and from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Jammu, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan.
Long-distance home moves from the Tricity to cities such as Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, and back.
Pricing
There is no honest flat rate for house shifting, because no two moves are the same. Your price depends on the factors below, and each one is written into the quotation so you can see what you are paying for. For worked examples, read our 1, 2 and 3 BHK shifting cost guide.
The number of rooms is only a starting point. A 2 BHK with a full kitchen and a home gym needs more cartons, crew and truck space than a lightly furnished one.
A move within the Tricity costs far less than an intercity one, where fuel, tolls and the driver’s days on the road add up.
Carrying goods up or down stairs takes more time and more hands than using a lift. A long walk from the truck to the door also counts.
Full packing of every item costs more than packing only fragile goods. Special packing, such as wooden crates, is quoted separately.
Weekends, month-ends and the festive and wedding seasons are busier, so prices can be higher. Booking one to two weeks ahead helps.
Transit insurance, storage, car or bike transport and unpacking are optional and listed separately in your quote.
Be ready on the day
A little preparation keeps moving day calm. This is what we suggest families do, and when.
Peace of mind
Good packing prevents almost all damage, but a road journey always carries some risk, especially over long distances and hill routes. That is why insurance for your goods is available on every move, arranged through an insurance company, in two forms.
The cover is based on the value you declare, so list items such as the TV, appliances and furniture at realistic values. We explain the premium, what is and is not covered and how claims work before your move, so you can choose. Learn more in our guide to transit insurance for household goods.

Service area
From our head office in Manimajra, Chandigarh, and our branches in Dhakoli (Zirakpur) and Rampur Bushahr, we serve the whole Tricity and towns across Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, and we move to and from cities all over India.
House shifting charges depend on the volume of goods, the distance, floor and lift access, how much packing you need and your moving date. A local 1 BHK move costs much less than a 3 BHK move to another state.
Every customer gets a free survey and a written quotation with no hidden charges. Call +91 88727 73000 or share your list of items on WhatsApp for an exact price.
Most local moves within Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula are completed in a few hours to one day, depending on the size of the home, the floors involved and how much packing is needed. For large homes, packing can start a day early so that moving day itself is shorter.
Our crew dismantles furniture that needs to be taken apart for safe transport, such as beds, dining tables and wardrobes, and bags and labels the fittings. Mention any modular or fitted furniture during the survey, along with what you need reassembled, so it is planned and included in your quote.
No. Our crew packs everything, but it helps to sort clothes and papers and decide what you are not taking. Drawers and wardrobes are emptied and their contents packed in cartons, so the furniture travels light and nothing shifts inside. Keep cash, jewellery and important documents aside and carry them yourself.
For safety, we do not carry filled LPG cylinders, petrol or diesel, firecrackers, acids, paints and other flammable or hazardous materials. We also recommend that you carry cash, jewellery, important documents and medicines yourself rather than sending them on the truck.
Yes. Car transport and bike transport can be booked along with your house shifting, so the whole move is planned together. A bike can travel packed in the same truck as your household goods, while a car goes on a car carrier.
Transit insurance is available for every move, and comprehensive insurance can also cover packing, loading and unloading. The cover is based on the declared value of your goods. We explain the options, the premium and the claim process before your move.
Book one to two weeks ahead for a local move and two to three weeks ahead for an intercity or all-India move. Weekends, month-ends and the festive and wedding seasons fill up quickly, so book earlier if your date falls then.
Yes. Along with local shifting in the Tricity, we move households from Chandigarh to cities across India, including Delhi NCR, Jaipur, Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru, and to hill towns in Himachal Pradesh. Long-distance moves get extra protective packing and an agreed delivery schedule.
