How do I Transfer My Luggage From One City to Another in India

you have several reliable and structured ways to move your luggage between cities in India, depending on your needs for speed, budget, and convenience.

Here are the four primary methods for intercity luggage transfer:

1. Door to door delivery available 

This is the most popular and hassle-free option for most people. These services specialize in personal goods and handle everything from your doorstep to the destination doorstep.  

How It Works:

Get a Quote: Contact the company or use their website www.happypackersmovers.in and provide the two pincodes and the estimated total Items.

Schedule Pickup: A representative will come to your home on the scheduled date to measure, weigh, and pack your items (if packing service is requested).

Delivery: The luggage is transported by road (usually 4-7 days for long distance) and delivered to the recipient's doorstep.

2. Indian Railways Parcel Service (No door to door pickup delivery)

The railway parcel service is the most economical way to send large, heavy luggage, especially over long distances. However, it requires more effort from your side.

Registered Luggage: You book your luggage on the same train you are traveling on. You drop it off and pick it up at the luggage van/compartment.

Luggage Parcel (Unaccompanied): You send the luggage separately, and it travels on a cargo or parcel train.  

How It Works:

Pack Securely: You must pack your luggage yourself, typically in durable cartons or gunny bags.

Visit Parcel Office: Take the luggage to the railway station's Parcel Office well in advance (a few hours before the train's departure if sending on a specific train, or any time for a general parcel).  

Collection: The recipient must personally collect the parcel from the Parcel Office at the destination station upon arrival.

Caveats:

No Door-to-Door: You must handle both drop-off and pickup.

Tracking: Tracking is limited compared to courier companies.

Safety: You must ensure the packing is robust, as handling can be rough.

3. Full-Service Packers and Movers (For Household shifting)

If your "luggage" is part of a larger shipment, like shifting a few pieces of furniture, appliances, or a very large quantity of boxes, then hiring a full-scale packer and mover is best.
