Warehousing and Storage in Pune
Sometimes the keys to your new place are not ready when you need to move out. Our warehousing and storage in Pune keeps your furniture and belongings safe until the day you need them.
Storage that protects your belongings
Goods are packed, inventoried and stored in dry, secure space away from moisture and pests. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked sensibly and fragile items are kept separate. You receive a list of what is stored, and items can be delivered to your new address on a date of your choice.
Who uses storage
- Families waiting for a new home to be ready
- Professionals relocating abroad or to another city
- Businesses storing records, stock or surplus furniture
- Students and tenants who need seasonal storage
Short-term and long-term plans
Choose a few days, a few months or longer. Combine storage with our household shifting or office relocation service for a single, coordinated plan from pickup to final delivery.
How our storage process works
Storage begins with a count: we list every item, photograph large pieces and note any existing marks. Furniture is wrapped, cartons are labelled and everything is placed on a clean, dry floor or racking, away from walls and moisture. You receive the inventory, and when you are ready, we deliver goods to your new address on the date you choose. There is no need to collect and re-hire a vehicle separately, because pickup, storage and delivery are managed together.
Planning storage around the monsoon
Pune’s humid monsoon months can damage wood, fabric and electronics left in damp conditions. Ask us to use extra moisture protection for sofas, mattresses and wooden furniture, and avoid storing items in plastic bags that trap condensation. Cartons holding paper and books should be lifted off the floor. Our monsoon moving tips explain how to protect goods in transit as well as in storage.
Is storage right for you?
Storage helps when dates do not line up, such as selling a house before the new one is ready, moving between rented homes, or clearing an office before renovation. It is not worth it if the gap is only a day or two, because a carefully timed move can cover that. Read when storage makes sense in our storage guide, then tell us your dates and we will suggest the simplest arrangement.
What kind of goods can be stored
Household storage is the most common request: sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining sets, appliances, boxes of kitchenware and clothes. Businesses ask for storage of office furniture, files, stock and display fixtures. Some customers store a vehicle or a bike during a long trip abroad. We assess each item for its size, fragility and sensitivity to humidity, and recommend how it should be packed. Items that are perishable, flammable, hazardous or illegal cannot be accepted, and we tell you this at the start so you can make other arrangements.
- Household furniture, appliances and personal belongings
- Office furniture, records and equipment
- Shop stock and retail fixtures
- Seasonal items, books and collections
How we protect goods in storage
Goods are placed on a clean, dry floor or on pallets away from walls and corners where dampness collects. Furniture is wrapped in cloth and film to keep dust off, and cartons are stacked so that heavy ones sit at the base. Electronics are placed in sealed cartons with padding and moisture absorbers. The storage area is kept locked, and entry is controlled. Because Pune’s monsoon brings high humidity, we pay special attention to wooden furniture, mattresses, leather and documents.
You receive a numbered inventory when the goods are accepted, and the same list is used when the goods leave. This protects both sides and avoids disputes.
Short-term and long-term storage plans
| Plan | Typical use | Things to plan |
|---|---|---|
| Few days to a few weeks | New home or office not ready on the date | Delivery date and a contact at the new address |
| One to six months | Renovation, construction delay, temporary posting | Periodic checks, moisture protection |
| Six months and longer | Overseas assignment, long travel, downsizing | Detailed inventory, insurance, careful packing |
The longer the storage period, the more important the packing becomes. For long storage, we recommend fresh cartons, protective covers and a final check of every item before it is sealed.
Storage combined with a house or office move
The easiest way to use storage is as part of a single plan. We pick up your goods on the day you move out, store them for the period you need, and deliver them to your new address on the agreed date. This avoids paying for two separate vehicles and two crews, and it means that the same inventory travels with the goods from start to finish. If part of your furniture is going into the new home immediately and the rest is going to storage, we can split the load on the day.
See how storage fits into a household move on our household shifting page, or into a business move on our office relocation page.
Storage costs: what affects the price
Storage charges depend on the space your goods occupy, the duration, the type of items and any special requirements such as moisture protection or vehicle storage. Packing, loading and delivery are separate from the storage fee, and we show each of them in your quote. Compact stacking, good packing and a clear end date help keep the cost down. If your timeline is uncertain, tell us, and we will discuss a flexible arrangement rather than locking you into a long term.
Always ask for the storage terms in writing: duration, access rules, notice period and what happens if you extend. A clear agreement avoids confusion later.
Preparing your goods for storage
- Clean and dry every item before packing, particularly appliances and mattresses.
- Empty and defrost refrigerators and freezers and leave the doors slightly open with a cloth to avoid odour.
- Remove batteries from remote controls and electronics.
- Wrap furniture in breathable cloth rather than sealed plastic for long periods.
- Label every carton with a number and keep a list of contents.
- Photograph valuable items for your records.

Storage for small businesses and online sellers
Not every storage customer is moving house. Small manufacturers, traders and online sellers around Pune often need short-term space for seasonal stock, returned goods or display material. We can store cartons on racks or pallets, keep a stock list, and release items on request so that you can fulfil orders without renting a full warehouse. This arrangement suits businesses that are growing, testing a new product or waiting for a new shop to open in Hadapsar, Pimpri-Chinchwad or Chakan.
Tell us the carton size, weight and how often you need access, and we will recommend the simplest plan. For a regular dispatch pattern, we can also arrange local delivery of stock to customers or to your retail outlet.
Details that are easy to overlook
- Access timing. Confirm the days and hours when you can collect or add items.
- Notice for delivery. Agree how many days of notice we need before delivering to your new address.
- Society permission at the new home. Book the lift and entry slot before the delivery date.
- Changes to the inventory. Any item added or removed should be written on the list the same day.
- Contact person. Name someone who can authorise delivery if you are travelling.
These small points are the reason some storage experiences go smoothly and others do not. We put them in writing so that nothing depends on memory.
