PG Shifting Services in India | Packers and Movers for PG & Bachelor Rooms

Quick & Affordable PG Room Relocation

Shifting from a PG or bachelor accommodation is very different from moving a full home. You typically have a single bed, 1-2 suitcases, a small table, clothes, and basic electronics — not a full household. Regular packers and movers charge full-home rates for this, which is unfair. That's where PG shifting services come in.

At Puniyo, we connect you with PG and bachelor shifting specialists who understand minimal-item moves. They charge based on actual items and distance, not flat home-shifting rates. Whether you're moving from a PG in Bangalore's Koramangala, a hostel in Delhi's North Campus, or a bachelor pad in Pune's Hinjewadi — our partner vendors handle these fast, safe, and cheap.

A typical PG shifting involves 1-2 suitcases, a single bed or mattress, a small study table, chair, mini-fridge, and sometimes a TV or microwave. The entire move can be completed in 2-4 hours for local shifts. For intercity moves, transit takes 2-4 days. Same-day service is available in most cities.
