Moving and Storage Together: How Do Packers and Movers with Storage Work?

• Packers and movers with storage means one provider packs your goods, moves them to a warehouse, stores them, and delivers them to your new home when you are ready.
• The process runs in a set order: quote, survey and inventory, packing, pickup, transport to the warehouse, storage, then delivery and unpacking on a date you choose.
• It suits situations where your new home isn’t ready, such as a delayed flat, a renovation, a gap between leases or a move abroad.
• Costs depend on volume, distance, how long you store, and extras such as packing and damage cover. Weekends and month-ends cost more, because demand is high.

What does “packers and movers with storage” mean?

It means moving and storage are handled as one service, instead of hiring a mover and then separately finding a storage unit. The same team that packs your goods also collects them, tags them, stores them and brings them back. This removes the middle step where most things go wrong, which is moving goods between two unrelated companies.

How does it work, step by step?

1. Share your requirement. Tell Pikkol your city, home size, what you are moving and how long you expect to store. You can use the form, request a callback, or message on WhatsApp.
2. Get a free quote. The quote is tailored to your move, and a dedicated move manager becomes your single point of contact.
3. Survey and inventory. Your goods are listed so you know what goes into storage.
4. Packing. Trained staff pack with premium materials. Furniture is wrapped and secured, appliances like refrigerators and washing machines get extra stability, and fragile items are cushioned. See our house shifting service.
5. Pickup and transport. Your goods are loaded and moved to the storage warehouse. Standard furniture such as beds and wardrobes is dismantled for loading, and modular or wall-mounted units may need a specialist carpenter.
6. Storage. Items are barcode-tagged, placed in a dedicated unit, and kept in a monitored, climate-controlled, pest-free facility. Read more on the storage facility page.
7. Delivery and unpacking. When your new home is ready, you request delivery. Furniture is reassembled and boxes are unpacked at the new address.

When does combined moving and storage make sense?

What decides the cost?

Pikkol doesn’t publish fixed prices because these factors change the quote:

• Volume: how much you move and store
• Distance: local, intercity or between cities
• Storage duration: how long you keep the goods
• Access: floor and lift availability at pickup and delivery
• Extras: packing materials, damage cover, vehicle or pet moves
• Timing: weekends and month-ends cost more, and non-month-end weekdays often cost less

A token amount locks in your price and slot, and you can reschedule subject to availability. Payment is by cash, card or UPI, and the booking confirmation fee is paid online. See the payment policy and the flexible storage plans.

What should you ask before you book?

• Is there one move manager for both moving and storage?
• Will every item be tagged and inventoried?
• How is my furniture protected in the warehouse, including pest and moisture control?
• What does damage cover include, and how is it valued?
• What are the extension and cancellation terms?
• How quickly can I request delivery back, and are there extra charges for floor or lift access?

Our guides on preparing items for storage and choosing storage space cover these in more depth.

Is your furniture insured?

Damage cover is available for a premium, based on the depreciated value of your goods. Ask for the details and the claim process when you book.

Can you add a vehicle, pet or parcel to the move?

Yes, Pikkol offers vehicle shifting, pet relocation and an international parcel service. Motorcycle storage is confirmed in Pikkol’s storage FAQs. For valuable items, read the high-value move guide.

Where can you get packers and movers with storage?

Pikkol’s take

The most common mistake is booking the move first and storage second, then discovering the two companies don’t share an inventory. Ask for one quote that covers pickup, packing, storage and delivery, and keep your photos of each item. Read the household storage guide to plan what goes in. After your move, our settling-in services can help with the rest. Browse our FAQs or contact us for help.
