Ways to book packing and unpacking

Most people book packing and unpacking services in Delhi as part of a full house move. You can also book them on their own, which helps when you have arranged your own transport, are sending goods into storage, or only need help setting up the new home.

Packing only

The crew packs and labels everything and leaves the cartons ready for your truck, a courier or storage.

Unpacking only

Cartons are opened room by room, items placed on shelves and surfaces, and furniture put back together.

Both, with the move

Part of a full household shifting job, priced together with loading and transport.

Packing materials we use, and what they cost

Using one kind of carton and a roll of tape for a whole house is how things break. Each material below does a specific job. The prices are typical market rates in October 2026, so you can check the material line on any quote.

How fragile and valuable items are packed

Fragile items get the most time and the most material. This is how the crew handles the things people ask about most.

Packing method for fragile items
ItemHow it is packed
Glasses and crockeryEach piece wrapped in paper, then bubble wrap. Plates stand on edge in a 5-ply carton with crumpled paper in the gaps.
TVs and monitorsFoam sheet over the screen, bubble wrap, corrugated board on the edges. Screens over 55 inches go in a wooden crate.
Mirrors and glass topsCorner guards, bubble wrap and corrugated board on both faces. Large pieces are crated.
Paintings and framesGlassine or paper on the surface, bubble wrap, then a snug carton marked with arrows.
Pooja items and idolsWrapped in cloth first, then bubble wrap, in their own carton. Many families prefer to pack these themselves.
Lamps and chandeliersShades and bulbs removed and packed separately. Arms wrapped one by one.
Musical instrumentsIn their case if you have one. Otherwise foam, bubble wrap and a carton cut to size.

Fragile cartons are marked on top and on the sides, so they are loaded last and stacked on top.

Labelling and the inventory list

Good labels save more time at the new home than anything else. Every carton gets the same four things written on it.

  • The room it came from and the room it goes to
  • A carton number that matches the inventory list
  • Fragile or this way up, where it applies
  • A short note of what is inside, for the cartons you need first

The inventory list records every carton and piece of furniture. You sign it at pickup and tick it off at delivery. If anything is missing or damaged, the list is what an insurance claim rests on.

Packing part of the house yourself

Doing some of the packing yourself brings the price down. The safest split is to pack soft, unbreakable things yourself and leave the rest to the crew.

Fine to pack yourself

  • Clothes, linen and towels
  • Books, in small cartons
  • Toys, shoes and bags
  • Documents and valuables, which you carry

Leave to the crew

  • Glass, crockery and showpieces
  • TVs, monitors and speakers
  • Furniture that needs dismantling
  • Anything you want covered by insurance

Transit insurance policies usually exclude cartons packed by the owner, so keep anything valuable for the crew to pack. The insurance page has the details.
