The most common packers movers cheating scam is increasing the prices post the pickup of goods and most customer fall for this.

Since the moving companies already have the customer goods and he has to move to the new locations, the customer has very little time to negotiate or discuss with these packing and shifting companies and end up paying huge differential amount.

​

Holding up Household goods:

Few unprofessional packers movers company cheat customers by holding the Household Goods and threatening to not deliver unless extra amount than the already agreed amount is paid. This is another common blackmail trick by rogue packers movers companies to cheat customers. Once the goods are picked up or reach the destination city, representative of moving company will send a inflated invoice or bill and ask the customer to pay up or else they will not dispatch or deliver the goods. To put extra pressure on the customer, they will warn them of adding warehouse charges to bill and further increasing the charges. The customer is in a very weird and difficult situation as either they have to travel after the goods are picked up or are waiting at the destination city for the goods to arrive. Police complaints in such situation usually do not help and the customer has no option but to pay increased charges to get their valuable goods.

​

Loss, Damage or Pilferage of Household Goods:

The most common customer complaint regarding packers movers cheating is about non-compensation or even acknowledgement about loss, pilferage or damage to household and personal effects during packing, transportation, loading / unloading & delivery of goods. While most packers movers company suggest insurance coverage to cover these damages but not all losses are not covered by insurance. Some of these damages may be due to packers and movers company negligence while transportation, handling etc. Some unprofessional moving company employee also remove or pilferage valuables and other goods from packed boxes.

​

Illegal and unregistered Relocation Companies:

There are many companies which operate without any govt registration and that it makes it very difficult to track them.

​

Insurance Fraud:

There are two kind of Insurance fraud by packers movers companies on their customers. Some of these fraud moving companies will offer a blanket coverage of goods without any value declaration assuring that all the goods are covered for all kind of damages. This is done with the sole purpose of extracting as much money from the customer as possible. The other insurance fraud is that Household goods packers movers in Bangalore assure their customer that the goods will be insured through a third party General Insurance company and in case of any damages or loss of material, the customer can claim the compensation directly from the Insurance company directly. But no such Insurance policy is taken and the moving company keeps  the insurance money with themselves.  They will give different excuses to the customer for non-availability of Insurance Policy from General Insurance Company. Taking  these cheating companies to consumer court, filing FIR or Complaints and taking legal action needs customer to be aware of his rights and responsibilities.

​

Delayed Delivery of Household Goods:

Delayed Delivery of Household goods is another major cheating complaint and registering legal complaint for delayed delivery of goods is the most difficult since most packers movers companies do not give written delivery dates and also that there are force-majuere and other reasons contributing to delayed delivery.
