Domestic cargo services in Karachi
Mazdawala moves household goods, commercial stock and machinery from Karachi to any city in Pakistan — in covered, sealed vehicles, with a named driver, a tracking number and a delivery date you can plan around.
- Covered & sealed trucks — no open loading
- Goods-in-transit cover available on request
- Door-to-door pickup across Karachi
Cargo we move every week
If it fits in a covered truck and it's legal to carry, we've probably moved it out of Karachi already.
Household goods
Furniture, appliances, cartons and bedding for families relocating to another city — packed, wrapped and inventoried before loading.
Commercial stock
Retail inventory, FMCG cartons, garments and packaged goods moving from Karachi warehouses to upcountry branches and distributors.
Machinery & equipment
Generators, compressors, industrial units and workshop tools — crated, strapped and loaded with the right lifting support.
Office & IT assets
Workstations, server racks, printers and files moved as one sealed consignment with an asset list signed at both ends.
Construction material
Tiles, fittings, sanitary ware and finishing material delivered to site with a driver who calls before arrival.
Vehicles
Cars and bikes on enclosed carriers when you're shifting and want the vehicle to arrive with the rest of your goods. See car carrier service.
Most cargo problems start before the truck moves
In Karachi, "cargo" is often a phone number and a rented truck. The booking agent isn't the driver, the driver isn't the loader, and nobody owns the consignment once it leaves the city. That's where goods get damaged, dates slip, and the person you booked with stops answering.
- Open or shared loadingYour cartons travel under a tarpaulin with three other parties' goods.
- No written rateThe price moves after loading, when you have no leverage left.
- Nobody accountableBroker books it, sub-contractor drives it, and claims go nowhere.
- Guesswork dates"Do din mein pohnch jayega" with no actual dispatch schedule behind it.
How a Mazdawala cargo booking runs
- 01
Survey & written rate
We check volume, weight and access — on-site in Karachi or over WhatsApp photos for smaller loads. You get one written rate that includes labour, packing and freight. It doesn't change after loading.
- 02
Packing & inventory
Fragile items get bubble wrap and corrugated sheeting; machinery gets crated. Every carton is numbered and listed on a manifest that both sides sign.
- 03
Sealed dispatch
Loading is supervised, the vehicle is sealed, and you get the driver's name, mobile number and vehicle registration on WhatsApp before it leaves the yard.
- 04
Delivery & sign-off
Updates through the route, unloading at the destination address, and a delivery note checked against the same manifest before our crew leaves.
Pick the right vehicle, not the biggest one
Half of cargo overspend is booking a 22-ft Mazda for a load that fits a Shehzore. These are the sizes we dispatch from Karachi.
| Vehicle | Approx. capacity | Typical load |
|---|---|---|
| Suzuki pickup | Up to 800 kg | Single room, small parcel consignment |
| Shehzore 14 ft | Up to 2.5 tons | 1–2 bedroom home, small retail stock |
| Mazda 16–22 ft | Up to 6 tons | 3+ bedroom home, full office, pallet loads |
| 10-wheeler 32 ft | Up to 15 tons | Bulk commercial stock, heavy machinery |
| 20 ft / 40 ft trailer | Up to 25 tons | Containerised freight, plant & equipment |
Capacities are indicative. Final vehicle is confirmed after the survey — volume usually decides the size before weight does.
Where we deliver, and how long it takes
Transit time is counted from dispatch, not from booking. Loading day is separate.
Road distances are approximate. Weather, highway closures and Eid-season traffic can add a day — if that happens, you hear it from us before you have to ask.
What domestic cargo costs from Karachi
There's no single per-kg number — freight is priced on vehicle size and route. These are the four things that actually move your rate:
Vehicle size
You pay for the vehicle, not the empty space in it. A correct survey is the cheapest saving available.
Route & return load
Karachi–Lahore and Karachi–Islamabad are priced better than remote destinations because return loads are easier to fill.
Packing scope
Self-packed cartons cost less than full professional packing. Fragile and machinery loads need the full scope.
Access at both ends
Narrow lanes, no lift, or a fourth-floor walk-up adds labour hours — we quote it upfront instead of adding it later.

Domestic cargo questions we get asked
How much does domestic cargo cost from Karachi to Lahore?
It depends on vehicle size and packing scope rather than a flat per-kg rate. A 1–2 bedroom household load usually needs a Shehzore, while a 3-bedroom home or a full office needs a Mazda. Send us an item list or a few photos and you'll get one written figure the same day, inclusive of labour, packing and freight.
Are my goods insured during transit?
Goods-in-transit cover is available on request and must be arranged at quotation stage, before dispatch — it can't be added after loading. Declare the consignment value when you book so the cover matches what's actually in the truck.
How long does cargo take from Karachi to other cities?
Counting from dispatch: same day to Hyderabad, one day to Sukkur, one to two days to Quetta and Multan, two days to Lahore and Faisalabad, two to three days to Islamabad, and three days to Peshawar. Loading day is separate from transit.
Do you do door-to-door delivery, or only terminal to terminal?
Door to door. We pick up from your address anywhere in Karachi and unload at the destination address. If the destination has access restrictions — narrow lane, no lift, commercial timing rules — tell us at booking so the right crew and vehicle are assigned.
Can I send a partial load instead of booking a full truck?
Yes, for common routes we can place smaller consignments on a shared vehicle, which costs less than a dedicated truck. The trade-off is timing: shared loads dispatch when the vehicle is filled. If your date is fixed, book a dedicated vehicle.
What can't you carry?
Hazardous and flammable material, illegal goods, and loose cash or jewellery. Documents, laptops and small valuables should travel with you, not in the consignment.
Tell us what's moving and where
Share the destination city and a rough item list. Our dispatch team calls back with a vehicle recommendation and one written rate — usually within the hour on working days.
