Storage Solutions

As short as 7 days. We offer weekly, monthly, and annual plans.

Yes, during facility hours (7am–9pm). After-hours access is available on request.

Storage pricing depends on unit size. A small locker of around 10 square feet typically costs between ₹1,200 and ₹2,800 a month, a standard 50 square foot unit runs ₹2,000 to ₹4,900, and a large 200 square foot unit falls between ₹3,200 and ₹7,000. Longer commitments bring the monthly rate down, so a 12-month plan works out cheaper per month than a short 1-week booking. Your partner can help estimate the right unit size based on roughly how much you need to store.

Yes, storage units in the ShiftingHub network are climate-controlled, which helps protect furniture, electronics, and fabric-based items from humidity, heat, and temperature swings that can otherwise cause warping, mould, or damage over a longer storage period. This matters more the longer your items sit in storage, so if you are planning to store belongings for several months rather than a couple of weeks, climate control becomes especially worthwhile for anything wooden, leather, or electronic.

Storage facilities are monitored with 24/7 CCTV surveillance and controlled access, so only authorised personnel and account holders can reach the storage area. Each unit is individually secured, and your belongings are catalogued when they arrive so there is a clear inventory record throughout the storage period. Combined with insurance coverage, this gives you a documented, monitored environment rather than leaving boxes in an unsecured garage or a friend's spare room with no real oversight or record of what is there.

Yes, the minimum storage duration is as short as 7 days, which makes it a practical option if you are between homes, waiting on renovation work, or need a short bridge while your new place gets ready. Weekly, monthly, and annual plans are all available, and you are not locked into a long-term contract if you only need the space briefly. If your timeline changes, extending an existing booking is usually simpler than starting a new one from scratch.

Yes, free first pickup is included on most storage plans, meaning the team collects your packed belongings from your home or office and transports them directly to the facility. When you are ready to retrieve your items, you can schedule a delivery back to your address rather than having to collect everything yourself. This pickup-to-storage-to-delivery flow is designed so you are not handling heavy boxes or arranging separate transport at either end of the process.

Yes, items in storage are covered under insurance for the duration of the storage period, protecting against damage, fire, or theft while your belongings are at the facility. Coverage details can vary depending on the declared value of your goods, so it is worth discussing this with your partner if you are storing anything particularly valuable. Having a documented inventory at the time of pickup also makes any future claim process considerably more straightforward if it is ever needed.

Yes, storage facilities handle both household belongings and business inventory, though for regular B2B stock management with frequent inbound and outbound movement, our warehouse and B2B storage service is usually a better fit since it includes digital inventory tracking and pick-and-pack support. For occasional business storage, such as extra furniture, files, or seasonal stock, a standard storage unit works fine. Mention your use case when booking so you get matched with the right storage format.

A 2 BHK home typically needs somewhere between a standard 50 square foot unit and a large 200 square foot unit, depending on how much furniture and how many boxes you have. If you are storing everything including large furniture like sofas and beds, lean toward the larger option. If it is mostly boxes and a few smaller pieces, the standard size is usually enough. Your partner can give a more precise recommendation once they know roughly what is being stored.

Yes, you can move to a larger or smaller unit, or switch from a shorter plan to a longer one, if your storage needs change partway through. Switching to a longer duration usually brings the rate down since longer plans are priced more favourably per month. Just give your partner some notice so they can arrange the change smoothly, especially if it involves physically moving your belongings to a different sized unit within the facility.

Yes, certain items cannot be accepted for safety reasons, including flammable liquids, gas cylinders, perishable food, live plants, and hazardous chemicals. Cash, jewellery, and important original documents are also best kept with you rather than in storage, since no storage insurance is really a substitute for something irreplaceable. Your partner will run through the full restricted items list at the time of booking so you know exactly what can and cannot go into the unit.

You can schedule a retrieval any time by contacting your partner or coordinator with a preferred date. During facility hours, retrieval is usually arranged within a day or two of the request, and delivery back to your address is included as part of the service. If you need after-hours or urgent access, mention this specifically since it may need to be arranged in advance with the facility rather than on the same day.

Deposit requirements can vary by partner and plan length, so it is worth confirming this specifically when you book. Some plans ask for the first month upfront with no separate deposit, while longer commitments may have different terms. Your coordinator will lay out the exact payment structure clearly before you confirm anything, so you know precisely what you are paying and when, rather than discovering additional charges partway through your storage period.

In many cases, yes, though this depends on the specific facility and partner managing it. If seeing the space matters to you before committing, mention it when you first reach out, and your coordinator can arrange a visit or at least share photos and details of the exact unit size and security setup. For most customers, the catalogued inventory system and insurance coverage provide enough confidence without needing an in-person visit beforehand.

Extensions are usually straightforward as long as you reach out before your scheduled delivery date. Let your coordinator know you would like to extend, and the plan is adjusted, typically prorated for the additional time rather than charged as a brand new booking. It helps to give a few days notice where possible so the facility can confirm continued space for your unit, especially during busier months when storage demand is higher across the network.

Yes, packing services can be added if you would like your belongings professionally packed before they go into storage, which is worth considering for anything fragile or for items that will be stored for several months. Proper packing materials, including bubble wrap and sturdy cartons, hold up better over a longer storage period than makeshift packing. You can book packing and storage together as one combined service rather than arranging them separately.

Yes, storage facilities are maintained with regular pest control as part of standard facility upkeep, which matters for protecting fabric, wood, and paper-based items over longer storage durations. Combined with climate control and CCTV monitoring, this is part of what makes a managed storage facility a safer option than an informal space like a garage or basement for anything you plan to store for more than a few weeks.
