Shifting Services

Connect With Verified Moving Partners for Every Type of Relocation
Every move is different. Shifting a family home is not the same as relocating an office or transporting a vehicle across states. What stays common, however, is the need for reliable execution, proper planning, and accountability.
Through 1Support, you’re connected with experienced and verified moving partners who manage the entire relocation process—from packing and loading to transportation, delivery, and setup. Whether your move is local, intercity, or international, the partner network supports relocations across India with structured processes and transparent documentation.

Common Shifting Questions
How early should I book a mover?
For inter-city moves, 3–4 weeks in advance is ideal. Local moves usually require 1–2 weeks. Peak seasons need earlier booking.
Are packing materials included?
It depends on the quotation. Some partners include materials, others charge separately. Always confirm beforehand.
What items cannot be shifted?
Hazardous materials, perishables, pets, restricted plants, illegal items, and valuables like cash or jewelry must be handled personally.
How does insurance work?
Insurance is optional but recommended. Coverage levels and claim procedures vary—discuss details before confirming the move.
Can I track my shipment?
GPS tracking is commonly available for long-distance moves. Local moves may not include real-time tracking.
What if something gets damaged?
Report it immediately at delivery, document it with photos, note it on the inventory sheet, and file a claim as per insurance terms.
