Puniyo is a marketplace, not a moving company.
We connect you with verified packers and movers. We do not provide moving services ourselves, we do not own any trucks, and we do not employ any packers.
Your contract for moving services is directly with the vendor you choose.
What we do:
- Verify vendor businesses, GST, and addresses.
- Connect you with matched vendors in your city.
- Provide tools, guides, and calculators.
- Protect your phone number through OTP verification.
What we don't do:

8. Payments
Puniyo is free for customers. We never charge you for submitting an enquiry or receiving quotes.
You pay vendors directly for their services. Puniyo is not involved in payment processing, refunds, or payment disputes between you and vendors.
9. Disputes with Vendors
Disputes about pricing, delivery, damage, or service quality are between you and the vendor. However, we expect vendors to resolve disputes fairly.
If a vendor behaves unprofessionally, you can:
- Submit a complaint via our Complaint Form.
- Post an honest review.
- Escalate to grievance@puniyo.com.
We will review and, if warranted, remove the vendor from the platform.
