Kolkata to Shillong Shifting Charges
Shillong prices change more from home to home than city moves, because the last stretch, the floor and the rain season matter a lot. So we do not show a fake average: we give you a written price for your home after a free survey, in person in Kolkata or on a video call.
| What decides the price | Why it matters on this route |
|---|
| Volume of goods (1 BHK to 4 BHK) | Decides the truck size and whether a direct or shared truck is better |
| Direct or shared truck | Direct is faster and not unloaded on the way; shared costs less for few items |
| Last stretch in Shillong | A small vehicle and extra labour if the truck cannot reach your lane |
| Floors and lift at both ends | Many Shillong homes are on slopes with outside stairs |
| Car or bike | Car carrier and bike frame are added to the same booking |
| Season | Monsoon packing and buffer days from June to September |
For comparison, see our published Kolkata to Guwahati charges. Shillong adds the hill section after Guwahati.
FAQ: Kolkata to Shillong Packers and Movers
How much do packers and movers charge from Kolkata to Shillong?
The charge depends on the volume of goods, direct or shared truck, the floor and lift at both ends, and whether the last stretch in Shillong needs a smaller vehicle. Sunrisers gives a written price after a free survey in person or on video call. Call or WhatsApp 98302 28302 with your goods list for the exact price.
How far is Shillong from Kolkata by road?
About 1,100 to 1,150 km. Trucks go from Kolkata to Guwahati on NH-12 and NH-27 through North Bengal, then about 100 km uphill on the Guwahati to Shillong road, entering Meghalaya near Byrnihat.
How many days does Kolkata to Shillong shifting take?
A direct truck usually takes about one day more than a Kolkata to Guwahati move, because of the hill section after Guwahati. The exact delivery date is written in the quote. In the monsoon, keep one or two extra days.
Can a big truck reach my house in Shillong?
Often not. Many Shillong localities have narrow, steep lanes. We stop the main truck at a safe point and move goods to a smaller vehicle for the last stretch. We check this at the survey from your address or a short video of the road.
Do I need an e-way bill for household goods to Meghalaya?
Used personal and household goods are exempt from the GST e-way bill. We carry an itemised goods list and a copy of your ID for checks on the way. Commercial goods worth more than Rs 50,000 need an e-way bill.
Can you transport my car and bike from Kolkata to Shillong?
Yes. The car goes on a car carrier and the bike is packed in a frame. Vehicle charges depend on the model and are shared after we know the pickup and delivery points.
How do you protect goods from rain in Meghalaya?
Meghalaya gets very heavy rain from June to September. Mattresses, sofas and electronics are sealed in plastic, cartons are taped on all sides and the truck load is covered with tarpaulin. We also unload in the dry part of the day where possible.
Do you deliver outside Shillong city?
Yes, on request, to places such as Umiam (Barapani), Byrnihat, Nongpoh, Sohra (Cherrapunji), Mawphlang, Jowai and Nongstoin. Delivery to Tura and the Garo Hills is quoted separately because it is a different route.
I am being transferred to Shillong. Will my employer accept your bill?
Sunrisers has been IBA approved since 2018 and issues a GST invoice for every move. Banks, PSUs, central government offices and many companies reimburse transfer moves against the invoice, the signed quotation and the item list. Share your employer's document list before the move.
Do you also move from Shillong to Kolkata?
Yes. We pick up from anywhere in Shillong and deliver across Kolkata, Howrah and North 24 Parganas, with the same packing and written quote.
Do you take an advance payment?
A small booking amount confirms the truck date for intercity moves. The balance is paid as agreed in the written quote.
