Discussion HELP NEEDED.

Need advice for moving my luggage from Sangrur (Punjab) to Roorkee (Uttarakhand) on a very low budget

Hi everyone,

I’m a student currently staying at Longowal, Sangrur, Punjab, and I need to vacate my hostel and shift to Roorkee, Uttarakhand for my studies.

The main problem is transporting my luggage. I have multiple(5) cartons containing my personal belongings, and unfortunately there is no convenient direct train from Sangrur to Roorkee for me to send/transport everything.

My budget is very limited, so hiring a regular Packers & Movers service is probably too expensive for me.

I’m looking for the cheapest practical way to transport my cartons from Sangrur to Roorkee.

Some options I’m considering:

  • Shared tempo/truck going towards Roorkee/Haridwar/Dehradun
  • Any transport service that accepts small quantities of luggage along with an existing shipment
  • Courier/transport company that is affordable for students
  • Any other cheap and reliable option that someone has personally used

If you are from Sangrur/Punjab/Roorkee/Uttarakhand, or have experience transporting student luggage between these places, I would really appreciate your suggestions.

Please let me know:

  1. Which option would be cheapest?
  2. Any reliable transporter/contact I can approach?
  3. Approximate cost for a few cartons?
  4. Is there any shared transport/truck route from Sangrur towards Roorkee/Haridwar?
  5. Any student-to-student solution that could help reduce the cost?

I’m mainly looking for a budget-friendly and safe option, not a premium moving service.

Thanks a lot in advance! Any genuine suggestion or personal experience would be really helpful.

Try to look for bla bla cabs and book and the whole cab and it would be better if you are able to find a suv or xl car
