Blacklisting ’’United Movers and Packers’’

I used United movers and Packers for moving my house & suffered theft of valuables of about 2500/- that is known. Items not visible
and forgotten cannot be accounted for :)

Majority of the theft happened at the time of packing but was realized very late to be able to bo any corrective measure.
7-8 people turned up for packing a 2 BHK house which was totally unwarranted but was because it works out to their advantage
as simultaneous packing by 7 people cannot be supervised by 1 or 2 members of the household and they take advantage of the induced situation.
Realization of brand new unpacked pocket watch theft when reported to Mr. Imtiyaz (Owner of the United Movers and Packers who never showed up at the time of packing) went unheeded with hollow denials and no action was taken.
Later it dawned that the workers get paid only Rs. 100 for a day no matter how many houses they pack in a single day obviously with a free hand to flick things while packing to supplement their day’s wage.

Request you to pass on the name of the blacklisted company to spread awareness and force them to mend their ways of doing business.

I too had similar experience, but from SKY Packers and movers.
They are also real FRAUDS in this business and cheat us like anything.

There are too many unreliable players in the market and hence go for a reputed one. I was first time lucky that the first one I used Agarwal Packers proved to be very good that I used them again twice more and it got only better each time.

However they are expensive so one is tempted to look elsewhere. We did check out other options when we shifted the second time - from Hyderabad to Trivandrum-since the initial quote from Agarwal was a little high. But I was far from happy at the professionalism of the other company reps who came to give a quote and in the end Agarwal reduced their prices a little (they do negotiate ) and it turned out to be a good decison. The good reached Trivandrum in less than 3 days from Hyderabad.

I used P N Writer and they were amazing. Their guys come and hand over 5 rupee coins and gold chains with the same amount of concern. Very very good people and very professional.
