Shipping and Removals in Bangalore


The poor infrastructure in the city affects even shipping and removals in Bangalore; though there are still options available.

There are very few direct flights from international cities. With the obvious exception of air freight, shipping routes include shipping to an Indian port and then overland to Bangalore. This can be time consuming and more expensive for expats moving to Bangalore. Cargo shipped by sea usually takes over four weeks to arrive from a city in the UK.

shipping and removals to BangaloreDue to the limited amount of household goods that can be brought into India duty free, expats should carefully evaluate what they choose to bring overseas. Not to mention there are many options for furnished accommodation in the city, thus buying the odds and ends and electronics that you can't bring with can often be more cost-effective.

For smaller items, air freight is a faster means of shipping to Bangalore although it is more expensive than even sea route shipping.

Pets can be shipped to Bangalore as long as their health checks and vaccinations are recent and in order. This may be best left to a pet relocation company to avoid any hassles with customs.
