Shifting from Kolkata to Pune Is Not as Easy as It Seems
Every city has its problems. And we’ve been in and out of enough apartments and colonies in both Kolkata and Pune to know what you’re likely to face.
In Kolkata:
- Narrow lanes in areas like Behala or North Kolkata make truck parking tricky.
- Many buildings don’t have elevators, especially in Gariahat or Shyambazar.
- Society permissions for movers may need 24-hour prior notice (especially in Salt Lake, New Town).
- Rain can delay loading, especially in July and August.
In Pune:
- High-rise apartments in Wakad or Baner have strict move-in timing policies.
- In Pune, you may not know this, but societies demand security deposit cheques in case you damage anything during the shifting process.
- Older areas in Pune like Kothrud have very tight staircases and no lifts.
- You’ll need your furniture to be assembled because Pune flats have smaller entryways.
At BOXnMOVE, we know these details. That’s why we don’t just send ordinary packers and movers from Kolkata to Pune.” We send city-smart local packers and movers in Kolkata who understand your destination as well as your origin. Here’s how:
In Kolkata:
- We secure permissions from local societies, especially in Ballygunge, Salt Lake, and New Town complexes.
- Our packers and movers in Kolkata know how to load trucks on narrow, congested streets, whether in Shyambazar or near Park Circus.
- We plan the move after considering KMC’s truck timing restrictions, so that you don’t get fined for your shifting process.
In Pune:
- We work around restricted hours for Pune packers and movers in gated communities in Magarpatta or Wakad.
- We know which buildings require advance society gate passes for packers and movers in Pune, especially in Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar.
- Our Pune team coordinates with society managers for lifts, loading docks, and parking slots, so you don't have to explain anything 10 times.
These things aren’t “extra.” They’re expected, but only a truly city-wise moving partner will handle them without you needing to chase them.

What You Get When You Move With BOXnMOVE
Most packers and movers from Kolkata to Pune claim to be "the best." We prefer to show you what we do differently, especially when moving between two culturally rich cities like Kolkata and Pune.

We don’t just show up and start hauling. We:
- Help you declutter by advising what’s not worth taking.
- Suggest best moving windows based on weather and traffic (Kolkata monsoons, anyone?).
- Share tips like: “Pack your documents in hand luggage. Don’t send them with the truck.”

Kolkata is known for antique furniture, chandeliers, bookshelves, and harmoniums. We provide custom-built crates and cushioning for fragile or legacy pieces.

Real Stories from Real Moves
When Arpita and Sagnik, a young couple from South Kolkata, got jobs in Pune’s Baner area, they were thrilled, until reality hit. “We had no idea how much we had hoarded in our 2BHK,” laughs Sagnik. “Books, hand-painted crockery, an aquarium, and a cycle.”
Their biggest fear? Breaking their heirloom crockery set that had been passed down for three generations. Here’s what BOXnMOVE did:
- Sent a pre-move survey team to assess items.
- Made a personalised wooden crate for fragile heirlooms.
- Gave them a designated move coordinator exclusively for their move who was available around the clock.
- Timed the delivery in Pune with their possession date to avoid warehouse storage charges.
Result? Zero breakage. No delays. And an aquarium full of fish that arrived safely with a separate oxygenated water container.
