Best Luggage Transport Services in Dehradun | Student Movers (UPES/Graphic Era)

Student & Working Professional Moving Guide: Dehradun Edition

Dehradun is the education capital of India. Every semester, thousands of students from **UPES, Graphic Era, DIT, and IMA** move in and out of the city. The winding roads of Mussoorie and the distance to the railway station make carrying heavy luggage a nightmare.

At First Choice Packers & Movers Dehradun, we provide a dedicated "Mini-Move" service. We pick up directly from hostels in **Bidholi, Kandoli, Clement Town, and Rajpur Road**, and deliver to your hometown anywhere in India.

📦 The "Shared Load" Advantage

We use a Part-Load system. This means your 2-3 boxes travel in a large container truck along with other shipments going from Uttarakhand to Delhi/NCR and beyond. This splits the fuel cost, allowing us to offer rates as low as ₹1,000 per box.

1. The Checklist: Moving Within Dehradun vs. Outstation

Before you book, identify your moving category to prepare the right way.

Option A: Moving Within Dehradun (Local Shifting)

Hill Safety: Moving from Mussoorie to Rajpur Road? Ensure boxes are taped securely. The winding roads can cause open boxes to spill.
Declutter First: Don't pay to move old notes. Sell them to juniors or local bookshops in Karanpur.
Gate Passes: If you are in a University Hostel (UPES/Graphic Era), get the "Material Movement Pass" signed by your Warden 24 hours prior.

Option B: Moving Outside Dehradun (All India)

Moisture Protection: Dehradun is humid. We use plastic-wrapped cartons to ensure your clothes don't get damp during transit.
Labels Matter: Label every box clearly with your Name, Destination City, and Phone Number.
Trunks (Petri): Metal trunks are popular here. Ensure they are locked. We will seal the lock with tamper-proof tape.

2. Box Size Guide: Know Your Container

To give you an accurate quote, we classify luggage into three types:

Container Type	Description	Best Used For

Step 4 (Updates): SMS updates: "Left Dehradun", "Reached Delhi Hub", "Out for Delivery".

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do you pickup from UPES Bidholi/Kandoli?

Yes, we serve both campuses. Since big trucks cannot enter the campus, we send smaller vehicles for pickup outside the main gate or from nearby PGs.

Q: How long does delivery take to Delhi?

Dehradun to Delhi/NCR is usually next-day or 2-day delivery.

Q: Can I send my guitar?

Yes, but musical instruments require a hard case. If you have a soft bag, we will need to crate it (wooden packing) for an extra charge to ensure it doesn't break.
