Agarwal Packers and Movers
Agarwal Packers and Movers
We used Agarwal Packers and Movers to move household goods (Part Load) from Bangalore to Pune on June 25th, 2007. Our consignment number was 3360. Due to some confusion while unloading, one box containing bed linen, one bookshelf and one skateboard were not unloaded and the truck continued on to Mumbai to deliver someone else's goods. When we realised the loss two days later, we contacted the company. We wanted them to find out if our goods had by mistake been delivered to the Mumbai address. If not, they should still be in thr truck and therefore traceable. The company was most un-cooperative, making lame excuses and telling us repeatedly that were to blame, etc. After a few tries we gave up, being busy unpacking and settling down in a new place.Admitted that the mistake was ours, but there should be some honesty on the part of the company staff who demand big tips, etc. and then cheat customers.

Pros:
All cheats
Cons:
Cheats, fake,
Hi All,
I had a real nightmare with this company..........
1. we moved our house from kolkata to mumbai and booked a big container. but these ppl send us the small one and charged
Click!
Click!
for the big one.
2. when we got the container in mumbai, we had kept the cheque ready for the payment (Half payment was done in advance). but the unloader refused to accept the cheque saying that he got instructions from Mr. Rohtak (Mumbai Incharge), that the payment has to be made in cash. we then spoke to Mr Rohtak, and told him that it was printed on the invoice as well that the payment has to be made in cheque. but he refused to accept the cheque and blackmailed us that he will take the container back to the godown. we then had to arrange fr the cash payment immediately.
3. when we opened the container the containers locks were already broken & also the luggage was in a pathetic condition, all broken. what about the insurance which they claim that it would be given.
4. my mother then called this mr. rohtak several times fr repairing the furniture. but he refused to answer or even speak politely. he does not even know how to talk to a women..........bloody cheats
This is the height of cheating............i am sure these ppl cant continue much longer if we consumers raise voice in media and expose these ppl.........................

Agarwal packers and movers...be careful

Pros:
reasonably good packing compared to a lot of others
Cons:
they do not care about condition of items or claims
I moved my household things from Delhi to Mumbai. I used the services of Agarwal Packers and Movers.
On the day of packing their packers decended on my house like a pack
of wolves. They demanded newspaper from me to pack my expensive china ware. They kept packing without stopping to ask or listen to anything that I told them.
After they packed they just stacked the stuff in any odd way. The signs os ‘this side up’ etc. was totally ignored. When they delivered at Mumbai, their attitude was little better than airport baggage handlers. What they were experts at was hiding the things they had broken.
They then made me sign papers in a hurry and left.
While unpacking I found that three of my very expensive China ware was smashed to pieces, due to very bad packing. I had told the packers that the packing within the plastic boxes was not adequately done as there was movement within the box, but they would not listen.
I also found a day later that my computer table was very badly damaged and being made of particle board and MDF, cannot be repaired. This was obviously due to the fact that the loaders/ unloaders do not pay any attention to the way they stack packages. I had pointed this out to them when they were loading the truck in delhi and also when they were unloading, when they kept stacking boxes on other boxes containing fragile items. I had also told them to dismantle the table as it was likely to break, but they did not listen. Similarly the wheels of my radiator are completely smashed. Again I has told them to dismantle these but they assured me that nothing would happen.
Ofcourse once you have signed the papers, they care a damn about all your complaints. They just ignore you when you complain.

Agarwal Packers -- count everything in a Part Load

Pros:
Good packing -- nothing broke and delivery was prompt
Cons:
honesty is not a company policy
I recently used Aggarwal packers to move my stuff from Bangalore to Pune. I was pleasantly surprised at the good packing (yes -- it was really careful and safe) and reasonable cost, but my joy was short-lived.
Since we used a Part Load, our stuff was unloaded in Pune before the truck carried someone elses’s things to Mumbai. We were tired and groggy and no one thought of ticking things off on the list as we unloaded, we just kept a count orally as the guys relentlessly unloaded package after package into our tiny flat -- and obviously not correctly since one box containing bedlinen etc. one old but sturdy bookshelf and one skateboard, were not unloaded. When we realised our mistake a day later (and admitted, it was our mistake ) I phoned Mukesh Aggarwal to check with the people in Mumbai if they had our stuff. I was told that these people had ’’gone abroad for a long time’’! How convenient. Of course, I was told this after being berated for not counting ’’each and everything’’ etc. etc. and naturally there was not a whisper of an apology, let alone any offer to do something about the situation. I persisted for a day or two in trying to track my stuff, but gave up then. Either the moving staff or someone in Mumbai is using my bookshelf, sleeping in my quilts and skating around on my son’s skateboard. When we did our shifting abroad, even a shoebox left nehind would be returned, even after a few weeks. Everone keeps saying ’’Oh, you can’t compare!’’ My question is why not?? Isn’t basic honesty part of our Great Indian Culture any longer??I guess we’re just a basically dishonest, ’’grab-what-you can’’ kind of people.

Agarwal Packers Movers : Tried Twice..Feeling Happy & Wise!!!!
Tried Twice..Feeling Happy & Wise!!!!
By: Chintu25 | Aug 01, 2007 04:38 PM (Updated Aug 02, 2007 05:49 PM)
Pros:
Professionalism, Stick to Timelines...Good packing
Cons:
You have to be cautious with the oversmart supervisors
My father has been in a transferable job so it’s been quite often that we have packed our bags and moved around. Largely we used to employ any local Mover & Packers. After reaching our new location
my Dad was always on tenterhooks until our trucks arrived. In those times people were not having the luxury of mobile phones so tracing the truck was next to impossible and we used to wait n watch the arrival of our precious household items.
But last time when my parents were shifting from Jamnagar to Delhi the rates quoted by these local Packers & movers were exorbitant and we were sure that the quality would not be at par. The difficulties being faced by my parents forced me to do some research and I chanced upon Agarwal Packers & Movers.
Though these people didn’t have a branch in Jamnagar they very readily agreed for the consignment. The rates quoted by them were very competitive and on the D-Day these people came dot on Time. What happened post their arrival is worth a mention.
Previously whenever we had packed we were supposed to provide the packing material. But in this case these people came equipped with all the packing material like cartons, Plastic sheets, hard brown sheet, tapes and everything that was needed. The packing started at around 9:30 AM and it was worth a watch. These people started packing with beautiful speed and professionalism. Their instructions for us were very clear, they said to my mom (she was trying to help) ‘M’am please sit down just tell us which stuff where and we will do everything, you need not do anything’. Not a single item was damaged in the process. My Mom’s precious crockery was also very safe.
The best packing was of the glass top of our six seater dining table it was covered with bubble packing, brown paper(hard) & cellophane paper the packing was handled with outmost care. The Truck was packed and sealed by 4:30 PM. According to me this was a major accomplishment, as my parents have loads of saman. After all theirs is a 25+ yrs grihasti & both of them have always been very indulgent in buying stuffs.
We had even transported our car along with the rest of the stuff. They used a container truck to move the material. The material reached Delhi as per the schedule and without any kind loss and mental stress to my father. Everything was then (As we wanted) unpacked and kept properly. They even hanged the curtains for my Mom. The overall experience was excellent.
So when I was shifting from Ahmedabad to Mumbai the decision for me to choose the P&M was very clear and even I had an excellent experience with them.
I would like to highlight some Good & Bad features of Agarwal Packers & Mover’s
Good Points
- Highly Professional people
- Their packing is excellent and as far as my experience is concerned there was zero damage.
- With the proper call centers in place it is very easy to track your consignment.
- You don’t have to worry about anything, just call them and you can sit silently and see them finishing off the packing in no time.
- When I was shifting I had to vacate my home on a specific date but there was a gap of 15 days for getting occupancy of my new house. For those 15 days they kept my stuff in their warehouse and the charges were nil for 1st 10 days and for rest 5 days it was Rs 100 per day which was not only very reasonable but God Sent for me. This is a feature which I think no other P&M provide. I had enquired at other places and everybody was charging 200/- per day. And when I had the stuff delivered at my new place I called them one day before the shifting and Bingo they were there right on time.
- The people who come for packing are usually thorough professionals and in our case they didn’t go for lunch break also, one of their own person cooked everything there only. This point is relevant because usually laborers waste time through this excuse.
- They keep up with the time lines they say.
- The response time from getting a quotation to packing, moving and unpacking is very good.
- They have a pan India presence.
- In cases where the company bears the cost of transfer, the employee is supposed to supply three competitive quotes. Agarwal P& M provides all 3 quotes along with their lowest quote. It might seem quite unethical to few but for me it saved my precious time.
- In few words they are value for money.
Now some of the downfalls
- The rates are quite high. A middle class man can afford them only if the company is bearing the cost of transfer otherwise if you have to pay from your pocket then it’s quite costly.
-You have to be very cautious with some of the professionals. In my case when my stuff was being delivered this guy (their supervisor) started giving some gyan to me. Gyan as in I was supposed to pay 500 Rs for keeping my saman in the warehouse but this guy was saying I have to pay for 7 days as he was counting my saman to be in warehouse from the day it was packed. And he wanted the money in cash not as cheque. Anybody can guess what he was trying. What I did was that I called up the Agarwal P & M Employee and everything was then straitened. So we just have to a bit extra cautious.
My purpose of writing this review was very simple. I was going through all the negative reviews for the said Packers & Movers so I thought that since I had a very good experience with them not once but twice then why shouldn’t I share it with everybody. I can Vouch for them (and so can many of my fellow colleagues) that they are the best right now and the speed & professionalism with which they work is commendable. I can say this because we have used other Packer & Movers also and seen the difference. In today’s time when time is a major constraint for maximum of us these people come as saving grace.
So next time you are shifting don’t go by all the negative reviews these people are worth a try.

you are right about the price.
No doubt they are a bit costly in comparison to others but the way they handle the things is awesome too.
I’ve used alliance for my last three shiftings, Delhi to Hyd to Hyd Local to Mumbai.
And I am glad that we now have these kind of professional services in india too.
They were too good to handle and I loved tipping them extra after seeing that they did the packing damn good.
Not even a single glass was broken in any of our shiftings.
Agarwal’s are the best I guess and I like the way they pack all the things in those plastic boxes now a days - they are almost air tight.
Although I dont trust them on one thing - that you should not handover the car to them for transfer - as my friends car was 400kms over ridden when it reached us last time and had some scratches too.
Anyways - they are good no doubt about that.

Agarwal packers and movers -- a nightmare!!!
Agarwal packers and movers -- a nightmare!!!
By: lko2uk | Aug 08, 2007 01:50 PM
Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Everything
I used their services to move from Lucknow to the UK simply because there were very few alternatives in Lucknow and everybody told me that Agarwal are the best. I don’t know how they have managed
to create this hype around themselves. They were my worst nightmare come true. They did not want to come over to my house to give a quote and gave me a quote on the phone but couldn’t explain the break-up which I had to get by calling up their Delhi number. On D-day they failed to turn up at the agreed 12 noon. Since I had to vacate my house at 5 pm, I kept on calling them and each time they lied saying that the men are on the way and their vehicle must have broken down. Finally at 6 pm a band of boys arrived.
Now these were some sub-contractors (and not Agarwal’s employees) who couldn’t even speak hindi (they were south indian boys) and communicated to us mostly in sign language. They ’said’ that they were instructed to come only a few minutes back as they were packing elsewhere till then! Finally these amateurs got down to the job and soon started arguing and fighting among themselves as there was no leader among them to give instructions! They started dumping glass cutlery into their boxes till we requested them to atleast wrap the stuff in newspapers (forget bubble wrap) which we had to then provide. Then they made a farce about counting each item for packing as per their rules.
They wanted to count each book they packed but it emerged (and I am not making this up I swear) that they could not count beyond ten or fifteen. Being an academician, I obvioiusly had more than ten books to pack, so we had to do the counting for them and since things were getting slowed down, we did most of the packing as well (while at the same time appealing to them to stop fighting with each other)!! They then wrote down the number of items on each box and made me seal and sign (wow!). Finally they finished late in the evening and my employers were kind enough to let me have the house till then. While leaving they asked me to sign on a bill stating that so much kilograms of stuff is being moved, based on which I would have to pay.
When I asked how did they arrive at the weight as they did not have any weighing machine, they said (I swear again that this is true!) they can make out the weight by lifting the stuff with their hands!!! I refused to buy that argument and called up their Delhi office and agreed with them to weigh the goods at their Gurgaon godown myself before paying. Off I went to Gurgaon to get the stuff weighed and finally I left for UK praying that the stuff reaches me. After 2 weeks (since I paid for the stuff to be flown to UK) it arrived where it was simply dumped at my building entrance and I had to carry it upstairs by myself. Forget the stuff that was broken and lost (other reviewers have already written about that) I found that they had redistributed all my stuff into smaller boxes on their own (including the books) which means that all the tall talk of counting the number of items (wasting hours in the process) had been a farce! In sum, after this entire experience, my advise is please stay away from this so-called best packers in India.
Wiser after this, my wife (who joined me a bit later from a different location) employed some smaller and cheaper company during her move and it was much smoother. I don’t want to mention the name of this nicer company as it would appear as a promotion in their favour and against Agarwal. But trust me if you can -- stay away from this company. Don’t say later that you weren’t warned!!!

Well nicely written about the experience you faced.
I think it is all luck. I had shifted from Pune to Bangalore using Packers XYZ, and i just was impressed. The packers did a terrific job.
So, when moving back from Bangalore to Pune, I opted for the same packers XYZ, and i was so shocked at the way they did the job... a total nightmare... So, i concluded that all packers are similar... and it is our luck that makes it good or bad...

Aug 08, 2007 08:15 PM
Thanks folks for reading my review and commenting. You are right -- it does depend on luck as the kind of staff and sub-contractors employed by a company varies from location to location. In case of Agarwal, their Delhi head office is as inefficient as the local henchmen, leaving you at your wit’s end! Anyway, thanks to websites like mouthshut, we can share our experiences and in this way hopefully we the consumers can force companies to clean up their acts.

I have used them three times and all three times were faultless. But then I guess it all depends on how good or bad their local offices are . In my cases all moves were within south India- but having dealt with the guys in all four southern states I dont have anything to complain about any one of them.

Pros:
Nothing
Cons:
Everything
I used their services to move from Lucknow to the UK simply because there were very few alternatives in Lucknow and everybody told me that Agarwal are the best. I don’t know how they have managed
to create this hype around themselves. They were my worst nightmare come true. They did not want to come over to my house to give a quote and gave me a quote on the phone but couldn’t explain the break-up which I had to get by calling up their Delhi number. On D-day they failed to turn up at the agreed 12 noon. Since I had to vacate my house at 5 pm, I kept on calling them and each time they lied saying that the men are on the way and their vehicle must have broken down. Finally at 6 pm a band of boys arrived.
Now these were some sub-contractors (and not Agarwal’s employees) who couldn’t even speak hindi (they were south indian boys) and communicated to us mostly in sign language. They ’said’ that they were instructed to come only a few minutes back as they were packing elsewhere till then! Finally these amateurs got down to the job and soon started arguing and fighting among themselves as there was no leader among them to give instructions! They started dumping glass cutlery into their boxes till we requested them to atleast wrap the stuff in newspapers (forget bubble wrap) which we had to then provide. Then they made a farce about counting each item for packing as per their rules.
They wanted to count each book they packed but it emerged (and I am not making this up I swear) that they could not count beyond ten or fifteen. Being an academician, I obvioiusly had more than ten books to pack, so we had to do the counting for them and since things were getting slowed down, we did most of the packing as well (while at the same time appealing to them to stop fighting with each other)!! They then wrote down the number of items on each box and made me seal and sign (wow!). Finally they finished late in the evening and my employers were kind enough to let me have the house till then. While leaving they asked me to sign on a bill stating that so much kilograms of stuff is being moved, based on which I would have to pay.
When I asked how did they arrive at the weight as they did not have any weighing machine, they said (I swear again that this is true!) they can make out the weight by lifting the stuff with their hands!!! I refused to buy that argument and called up their Delhi office and agreed with them to weigh the goods at their Gurgaon godown myself before paying. Off I went to Gurgaon to get the stuff weighed and finally I left for UK praying that the stuff reaches me. After 2 weeks (since I paid for the stuff to be flown to UK) it arrived where it was simply dumped at my building entrance and I had to carry it upstairs by myself. Forget the stuff that was broken and lost (other reviewers have already written about that) I found that they had redistributed all my stuff into smaller boxes on their own (including the books) which means that all the tall talk of counting the number of items (wasting hours in the process) had been a farce! In sum, after this entire experience, my advise is please stay away from this so-called best packers in India.
Wiser after this, my wife (who joined me a bit later from a different location) employed some smaller and cheaper company during her move and it was much smoother. I don’t want to mention the name of this nicer company as it would appear as a promotion in their favour and against Agarwal. But trust me if you can -- stay away from this company. Don’t say later that you weren’t warned!!!

Seems you had a pathetic time with them...however i had a very good experience with them...it seems that as far shifting is concerned its all dependent on our luck....

Well nicely written about the experience you faced.
I think it is all luck. I had shifted from Pune to Bangalore using Packers XYZ, and i just was impressed. The packers did a terrific job.
So, when moving back from Bangalore to Pune, I opted for the same packers XYZ, and i was so shocked at the way they did the job... a total nightmare... So, i concluded that all packers are similar... and it is our luck that makes it good or bad...

Thanks folks for reading my review and commenting. You are right -- it does depend on luck as the kind of staff and sub-contractors employed by a company varies from location to location. In case of Agarwal, their Delhi head office is as inefficient as the local henchmen, leaving you at your wit’s end! Anyway, thanks to websites like mouthshut, we can share our experiences and in this way hopefully we the consumers can force companies to clean up their acts.

I have used them three times and all three times were faultless. But then I guess it all depends on how good or bad their local offices are . In my cases all moves were within south India- but having dealt with the guys in all four southern states I dont have anything to complain about any one of them.

Agarwal Packers Movers / DRS Logistics
Agarwal Movers & packer (DRS) is Worst Logistic
By: dh_kush | Sep 19, 2007 11:56 AM
Pros:
Their promises which they do at the time of availing facility
Cons:
All like Luggage Handling, service, their attitude...etc
While you avail service for Bikes & Cars transportation they will not insurance these.
They gives region that it is already being insured by party means WE. They will assure you that they
will handle your goods carefully also.
But it is not like that. I did my bike transported from Bangalore to delhi… you will be surprised that my bike got damaged almost 60%.
When I talk to them they say sorry for inconvenient, we can provide you only damaged certificate so you can claim for insurance. I called up them many time but I have not got their response any time & any of them even I intimated to Country Head for customer care.
What disgusting kind of service they are providing to customers? They leave customers to bear rest of pain.
If they say they are no one then they should be firm on that and provides the better service. A person can get parceled his luggage by train in cheaper rate, Why person paying more to take DRS services?
Please be ware before you avail this facility from DRS transporter.

I therefore recommended this Packers & Movers all the general public who wish to shift there articels in save and tension free conditon.
thanks

Good Choice: Agarwal Packers Movers
Good choice to make!!

32% members
Pros:
On-time, propmt, quick work, good packing
Cons:
On-line tracking was not working
I utilised the services of Agarwal Packers when I wanted to move my
household goods from Pune to Hyderabad.
The rough
estimate over the phone was very near to the actual estimate given
after survey of the goods.
One highlight of their service was PROPMT and ON-TIME service.
The survey, loading of goods and delivery was done as per the time promised by
them.
Actually I got the delivery of goods a good half-day before than the minimum
time!! (I got it in 2.5 days as against min of 3 days and max of 7 days as
promised)
Also, they were able to arrange for pick-up on one day notice.
All my material came in good shape and nothing was missing.
They had put breakable material like TV, in a steel trunk after putting enough
packaging material and thermocol.
The only negative thing was that the swanky site was not able to provide me
with on-line tracking. My shipment number was not being recognized by the
system.
I would like to advice all to go for Agarwal Packers for your future needs.

Agarwal Packers and Movers - worst and expensive
Agarwal Packers and Movers - worst and expensive
By: varsmail | Nov 13, 2007 01:32 PM
Pros:
Promises and assurance
Cons:
Condition after delivery
Step by Step - I moved from Bangalore to Gurgaon
1. Get quote - the sales guy ( Deepak Sinha ) will promise to repair or
replace for any damage .
Will justify why agarwal is atleast 20% costlier than other packers .
2. These guys in Gurgaon could not track my goods.....the contact number given by Agarwall Delhi Person - Mr.Ajay Nagara / Eshwar will give you another number which is 24 x 7 engaged .
3. Got my car in a pathetic state. All seats wet and soaked with thick layer of clay. When i asked the driver about it he says this is how they got from Mumbai.
He charged Rs 1200/- --- says cops fined him for driving KA registered vehicle and they did not give him the receipt.
4. Best part - My goods...they did manage to break the lock of my steel cupboard also and with dents all over. My T.V. was dmaged, fridge, Mirrors, trolley..etc. Most of them cant be repaired and damage loss of atleast 8K .
5. After follow-up calls - a insurance surveyor comes Mr.Sunil ( a carpenter by profession ) he got the value of damaged goods for Rs.500/- and for total insurance of 1 lac. Over that he will ask you for tips.
6. Every body including supervisor will threaten you if you don’t shell out atleast Rs100/- per person.
7. Supervisor ( A.K.Mishra - Blore ) at the time of loading will divide your 1 lac( insurance ) , out of which clothes and utensils for 80K , which will not be damaged , and TV for 1 K, W.M -1k, Fridge-1K, Glass Diniing table -1k .
Country head - Mr.Nagasainathan nor the head office nor anybody will not listen to your concerns.
I had tried Leo Packers earlier and they are very good . One of my colleagues had warned me on agarwal packers...but it was too late . He had recommended P and M .
Good luck guys.....and dont expect to get your goods in as is condition. And definitely not with Agarwal packers.....because they will drag your goods and not carry it .

Agarwal Packers - A bunch of cheaters
Agarwal Packers - A bunch of cheaters
By: sns3 | Dec 02, 2007 05:43 PM
Pros:
No pros at all
Cons:
Cheaters, liers
I have had a terrible experience moving from mumbai to bangalore.
Firstly the sales guy told me that my fridge and washing machine would be packed in wooden crates. When the bunch of jokers came
on the day of packing they just put in carton box. I told them that the sales guy had promised about wooden crates. So i called that sales guy again at that instant. Then he told me they would take it to the godown and pack it in wooden crates there. I asked the packing guy is that so, but he declined(atleast he was honest). I told the sales guy that your person himself is saying that it wouldnt be packed in crates. So he asked me to hand over the phone to him and he just blasted him saying "you should not tell the customer anything like that..."
The nightmare doesnt end there. When my goods reached bangalore...the base of the fridge was broken and the washing maching wasnt working and the door of my deewan was completely smashed as if they threw it from the first floor of a building. When i complained them they sent a carpenter to my house. He fixed the deewan but he cudnt do anything abt the fridge. So they paid me a pittance of 500 as compensation. The base of the fridge can never be repaired and now it is standing with some wooden plates support. Regarding the washing machine they stated adamantly that it might not be working from the begining.
I wouldnt suggest anyone to go for this buggers. I have heard Leo Packers are much better.

Good Service: Agarwal Packers and Movers
Agarwal Packers and Movers
Good experience - found reliable
By: vaibhav2011 | Dec 31, 2007 12:31 PM
Pros:
professional attitude
Cons:
require little bit follow up
Hi,
I was going through reviews for Agarwal movers and packers and I am going to mention what I had experienced with them.
When it was finalised that we would be moving to Pune from Bangalore,
I had called 4 to 5 movers and packers. Let me tell you "Agarwal" was the most expensive. And it was visible significant difference. I had done little bit of reasearch and finalised with Agarwal at the end.
Main reason behind going for Agarwal that, at the time of moving my luggage, it was not possible for me to be in Bangalore as I had to come to Pune 14 days prior. So I didnt want problem for my wife at the time of moving the goods.
On goods moving day, people came at 10 in place of 8. Now My goods was more and guy from Agarwal told that it will take more time so they would be coming at 8 in the morning. But they came at 10. But they came with all preparations. Just my wife had to supervise them and all of them have done wonderful jobs. All my goods were packed nicely. By evening 6:30 they had finished packagin and loading also. In the Bangalore only, we had do to the complete payment.
The goods were packed and loaded on 15th December, They told that you will be geeting the goos in Pune on 17th Dec by 12 noon. I got the goods in Pune at 11:30 noon. 4 people came to unload and rearrange the goods. Those people were also very co-operative. One of the guy was even helping my wife to arrange kitchen items. What I mean to say is however small item is, they arrange for you.
Now only 1 wall-peice (made of caly) was broken which costed me 1200/-. But I guess thats ok. I was impressed with thee through professional attitude. And even I had made 100% payment in Bangalore in pune all guys were nice. they didnt show any hurry and they did all the stuff what we told nicely.
From this experience, I have decided to go for Agarwal only in the future also.

Damage of items and non coperations during shifting from Bangalore to Kolkata
Complaint Rating: 0 % with 0 votes
I had engaged DRS-Agarwal packers and movers for my houshold shifting from Bangalore to Kolkata.
(Vide GC no 845067 dated 01.06.08 for the car and 845066 dated 02.06.08 for entire other household items)
I had following very bad experiences:
(a) On the day the container reached in Kolkata, my address, a team of in experienced and raw people sent for unpacking and organizing from the local kolkata office. Practically we had to work shoulder to shoulder with them to make it happen.
(b) The packing items (plastic and cardboard boxes) till date (i.e. 18.06.08, 11 days after unpacking) is lying in front of my flat in the apartment, blocking the lift passage, creating nuisance to other neighbours and putting in embarassing conditions. I had made atleast 30-40 calls to local calcutta office of DRS (Agarwal) and Bangalore office, but now given up. The apatrment maintenance people are insisting to throw them out asap. I do not understand these items which are to be reused, how company can behave in such non professional manner.
(c) Though I had given the car in very neat and clean conditions in Bangalore. In kolkata I was delivered the car 3 days behind promised date and in a very dirty, shabby condition. The seats have been totally made dirty and black greasy spots. This delivery has also been possible after my atleast 25-30 phone calls to Kolkata representative and Bangalore representative.

I have moved my goods from Delhi to Bangalore and the service was pathetic... they do not take the responisbility for the damages. They harass the customer to sign the delivery acknowlegement taking liberty of the customer being new to the city.
they may be the pioneer in the service but have very pathetic service and their so called customer care does not know how to speak professionally to a customer.
Very bad service... beware of them.. thats the only advice

Would like to bring to your notice & caution you all against the existence of a fradulent, corrupt movers and packers company by the name of- CENTRAL CARGO PACKERS AND MOVERS, located at Bangalore/ Delhi. Although this company claims to be an ISO 9001:2000 certified, it has indulged in cheating & Inconveniencing its customers which includes my husband & myself while moving from Bangalore to Mumbai..
We approached the Bangalore based office of CENTRAL CARGO PACKERS AND MOVERS, at A-40, 2nd floor, D-Dutta, II stage, Yashwanthpur, Bangalore-560022 to move our household belongings and motor bike to our apartment in Mumbai. They were scheduled to give us a door to door delivery (check receipt attached) of all our belongings on 30-March-08.For this they charged us RS 13, 500 for transferring the goods.
We were assured by them that we can leave for Mumbai and the stuff would reach us as scheduled. But to our total surprise the stuff did not reach us even 10 days after the scheduled date. We made repeated phone calls to the owner of the company Ajay Sharma, but he told us that most of our things were misplaced & that he does not take guarantee for it. On perusal he finally sent in half our stuff. However most of it was scratched, broken and dilapidated (check photos attached)The height of un professionalism came to the forefront when they refused to send in the bike and started blackmailing us to give more money over & above the RS 13, 500.They demanded RS 6, 000 more although we had a receipt of the RS 13, 500 already paid to them.( check receipt attached) On refusal of payment into this extortion they threatened to never return the bike. This is despite the fact that they had already misplaced most of out stuff and were now keen on only swindling and extracting more money. Soon they started threatening us with their links to an influential political party
To top this all after repeated request they brought the Bike via Tempo outside my house and then refused to put it down till we paid them the extra money, now claiming that this is the octroi charge for a bike. However, the question of Octroi duty for the same does not come into the picture as the bike is registered with maharashtra itself.
When we refused to make this unwarranted payment, they soon started haggling and were ready to negotiate on this amount of RS 6000.This act took us by surprise & we realized that they are into the business of harrowing, cheating, threatening & using coercion to extract additional, undue money over & above the cost from the people who use their services.
This incident took us by shock to see that there are such fraudulent companies that cheat people in the guise of service for payment.Kindly make note of not using the services of this particular company to pack your goods while movement from one place to another.
Thought would inform you guys because as young professionals we often move cities & I would not want anyone to have the same mental traumatizing experience like us. Kindly caution as many people as possible by forwarding this email. This may save someone else who might want to tie up with these bunch of cheats.

I agreed with the complaints regarding Aggarwal Packers and Movers. I had suffered a lot while shifting from Noida to Bangalore. I had lost at least 25K in transit due to damage and theft of my valuables.
Apart from this last year I shifted locally with in Bangalore through MM Packers and Movers and suffered 18K looses due damaged electronic goods. I am surprised is there any reliable packers and movers in Bangalore. I have to move Bangalore to Chennai in June-08.
Genuine suggestions welcome.

as per my exp. i will also like to share some of my exp. i have moved my household stuffs and car thru STATE CARGO MOVERS AND PACKERS and the exp. what i got, i have really decided that its good to sell stuff rather than transfering as in this line its very difficult to faith on anyone and if u come across with good exp. then its ur luck. these cargo people will talk u very nicely till the time they pack ur stuff and take away and till they get all money though they will try to get more n more money in advance but even if u will keep some amount balance, they won't unload ur stuff from truck being in front of ur house at destination until they will get all amount in due wthether ur stuff is in good condition or not. this STATE Cargo are from delhi and i had moved stuff from delhi to bangalore. they will claim that they have offices all across india but most of these cos. don't have proper offices they just keep one small office at 1-2 location in some slum area where u will think 10 times to visit their offices.these guys claimed to deliver my stuffs and car in 7-8 days but i got my car after 14 days and stuffs after 18 days and they drove my car 500 km when i received the car and in stuffs also few items were broken.i will suggest my frinds never go with this state mover and packers u always go with the co. with whom someone have good exp. even if u are paying bit more. the main person of state cargo is jitesh tiwari whose no is 9910034116 but that guy who looks bit like nepali as he is from uttaranchal keep changing his name while taking ur call like avinash, kanha, vinod etc when u will start calling him to check status of ur goods after giving to them.my previous exp. with jindal mover & packers was good but this time i did mistake by not sending thru jindal as they were asking for more money

And at that time I was suggested to go for Agarwal Packers & Movers.
After thinking a lot atlast I planned to go for Agarwal Packers & Movers for the 1st time. And the experience I had at that time was amazing the packers were so careful while packing & they packed in such a best way that I thought I never took a wrong decision by chosing Agarwal Packers & Movers. Our Whole Family was more than happy by their Customer Service. They knew rthe importance of each & every household items they were packing & moving.

Regarding Agarwal packers and movers I completely agree. They are nothing but a group of cheaters. My household goods and cars were shifted from Kolkata to Mumbai and we had opted for an independent container to prevent breakage and all. WE had paid the entire amount including the insurance in advance. Household goods and car were loaded on 12th July but started from Kolkata only on 17th. This delay was never explained and though they commited to deliver the goods on 23rd. they reached us only after 26th and the car was delivered only on 30th. july only after constant follow up wheras such a journey normally should not take more than 1 week. When the good reached us lots and lots of things were broken including imported crockeries, sofa sets, beds and divans. Every time I called up their office one lalit mishra took the call and assured me adequate compensation will be paid. more than a month has gone by, a carpenter came and repaired some of the goods but the things that could not be repaired like crockeries or can sofa set nothing has been done about it and no compensation has been received by me.

And the experience I had at that time was amazing the packers were so careful while packing & they packed in such a best way that I thought I never took a wrong decision by chosing Agarwal Packers & Movers. Our Whole Family was more than happy by their Customer Service. They knew rthe importance of each & every household items they were packing & moving. My mindset for Packers & Movers which was there was totally changed by Agarwal Packers & Movers.
In all they are the best for their Professionalism & Accuracy.

Regarding Agarwal packers and movers I completely agree. They are nothing but a group of cheaters. My household goods and cars were shifted from Kolkata to Mumbai and we had opted for an independent container to prevent breakage and all. WE had paid the entire amount including the insurance in advance. Household goods and car were loaded on 12th July but started from Kolkata only on 17th. This delay was never explained and though they commited to deliver the goods on 23rd. they reached us only after 26th and the car was delivered only on 30th. july only after constant follow up wheras such a journey normally should not take more than 1 week. When the good reached us lots and lots of things were broken including imported crockeries, sofa sets, beds and divans. Every time I called up their office one lalit mishra took the call and assured me adequate compensation will be paid. more than a month has gone by, a carpenter came and repaired some of the goods but the things that could not be repaired like crockeries or can sofa set nothing has been done about it and no compensation has been received by me.

Complaint against agrwal packers and movers
Hi,
I saw Deepaks compalint against agrawal packers. I also have a similar complaint.
I am writing this mail out of frustration. I transported my goods through agrawal packers and movers after my friends recommended it. I really had a very bad experience. Many goods were damaged and the carpenter did not do proper repair. initially they made me sign when the goods were just being unpacked. since i was alone and did the unpacking i couldnt look around for the damage.
i called their customer cell several times and even made several std calls to pune for this purpose. i just wasted my money on it.
we had a new godrej almirah which has a big dent in it and the carpenter made it worse. the sofa cum bed was damaged and the carpenter didnt properly repair it. the polish he put still comes out on our hands if we touch it.
after paying so much and taking insurance there was no proper repair done.
i cannot recommend agrawal packers and movers after this experience.
Thanks and regards
Sobha

Pros:
Could not find any
Cons:
Uncourteous, not punctual
I recently shifted my house from Ganganagar in Bangalore to Indiranagar. Mine is a typical two BHK house with basic furniture - sofa, bed, fridge, tv, washing machine, dining table etc. After talking
to a few movers and packers, I decided to go with Kaiser packers because they were one of the first to send a representative to my house to inspect and give me a quote.
They claim to be an ISO9001 certified company and the first impression was good. I was very particular about the date and time of the move and had told them more than 10 days in advance. The representative agreed and promised that 5 packers would come to my house by 8:30 AM on the day and that entire process would be done by 4:30 PM. Two days before the day of move, I get a call from the representative asking me if we could prepone the move to Friday. I refused.
On the agreed upon day, I get a call that the packers would come at 10:30 instead of 8:30. Finally, after umpteen phone calls, only 3 packers instead of 5 turned up at 12:30 PM and started packing. The material that they brought was not sufficient and a few items could not be packed. They had to be transported just like that. Instead of usual 2 hours, it took 4.5 hours for packing and then 2.5 hours for loading .
During loading, we figured that the truck sent to transport the items was smaller and I had to carry a few things in my car. After reaching the destination, It took another 2 hours for unloading and that too after begging the driver of the truck to help out.
The move finally ended at 11:30 at night and I was left with a h ole in my pocket, a badly hurting back and broken washing machine.

I did a move recently from a two bedroom second floor individual house with no lift to a three bedroom first floor house again with no lift and was extremely satified with the mover. I did the packing myself. The moving was taken care of the local truck guy. He did it in 2 hrs flat at the time i requested with no damages done to any of the articles. So don’t believe in ISO and TSO. They are used now by every other company to cheat their clients. If any company has quality dedicated people or products then why do they need ISO or CMM?

My TV , Refrigerator etc etc all raked up quite a few miles road hauling all over south India due to my frequent job transfers. Evething has survived intact in perfect condition despite three long haul moves including one of over 1500. Km. I used Agarwal Packers, one of the biggest players in this business, all three times. No hassles so far of any sort and the best thing is they clear up the mess after unpacking and carts off the unwanted packing materials (whatever you choose to trash - after all you pay for them). leaving the house spick and span.
Expensive - no doubt - but then for me, the peace of mind (not to speak of cost of replacing broken goods due to careless handling) outweighs everything else.

Agarwal Packers and Movers
BEWARE of Agarwal Packers& Movers(DRS Group)
By Menon, 20 Jul 2007 | Country: India
Two months back, I shifted my household items from Bangalore to Chennai thru Agarwal Packers& Movers. As I had many fragile items, I wanted to entrust the job to some reliable people. I chose Agarwal, as they were supposed to be the "best"! And soon I could realize that it was the greatest blunder I had ever done! They initially impressed me with their "manner of talking and packing things" (Anybody will as they carry wooden & plastic boxes to suit their customer's needs!! ) and promised to deliver it on time.
However, it was late night when I received my things, with lots of excuses for delay. And to my shock, most of the crockery and glass panes of my TV trolley were completely broken! And one item had completely gone missing. When contacted, I got the casual reply that I should lodge a complaint and claim for insurance .And that they will search for my lost item.
(As though this is not the first time this is happening and I'm not the first person having such experience!). And unfortunately, that's the fact, I'm not the first person! Now I understand there are so many people like me who had the same bad experience with Agarwal packers. So its my sincere advice to people that DON'T ever go for AGARWAL PACKERS.

Unfortunately I have read this message a little too late. I too have gone through a similar harrowing experience by engaging Agarwal Packers for shifting of household goods from Ghaziabad to Ahmedabad.
I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST TO ALL THOSE WHO READ NEVER TO ENGAGE AGARWAL PACKERS AND NEVER TO GIVE ADVANCE PAYMENT TO ANY PACKER.

Very bad luck for me . DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT USE DRS GARWAL PACKERS FOR SHIFTING USE any local paker mover it will be better. After all if there has to be damage then you atleast end up paying less for the transportation.

Dear Friends,
I had a very bad experience with "Associated cargo movers and packers". I have booked and paid for transporing my household items in a closed container. They had sent them in an outside open vehicle by paying just Rs.2500 to that vehicle and just to gain huge profits they resort to this. They didn't issue bill to me so when i asked for bill, their executive behave like goondas. They don't treat customers properly once you pay them. Also many of my items get damaged. They charge for insurance and they won't pay premium. So you can't claim insurance also. Now i realise that all these packers and movers are on the same way. I suggest that we should never engage any of these packers and movers whenever we need to move household items. Instead we should hire a truck of suitable size for our luggage and do our own transport. I request and suggest employees community to not engage "Associated cargo movers and packers" for relocation purposes.
Regards,
Yoga

I had shifted to Pune recently from Jamshedpur. I am currently undergoing the the pain of choosing Agarwal Packers as all my belongings are untraceable. The guys out in the customer care are least responsive. Only if I had read all this before I would have taken some other packers.
These guys charge at premium rate and give the most disgusting service.
So beware and pass this message to all friends and foes alike.

Hi All
I tottally agree and understand the pain becoz of this experience I had
Would like to bring to your notice & caution you all against the existence of a fradulent,corrupt movers and packers company by the name of- CENTRAL CARGO PACKERS AND MOVERS, located at Bangalore/ Delhi. Although this company claims to be an ISO 9001:2000 certified, it has indulged in cheating & Inconveniencing its customers which includes my husband & myself while moving from Bangalore to Mumbai..
We approached the Bangalore based office of CENTRAL CARGO PACKERS AND MOVERS, at A-40,2nd floor,D-Dutta,II stage,Yashwanthpur,Bangalore-560022 to move our household belongings and motor bike to our apartment in Mumbai. They were scheduled to give us a door to door delivery (check receipt attached) of all our belongings on 30-March-08.For this they charged us RS 13,500 for transferring the goods.
We were assured by them that we can leave for Mumbai and the stuff would reach us as scheduled. But to our total surprise the stuff did not reach us even 10 days after the scheduled date. We made repeated phone calls to the owner of the company Ajay Sharma, but he told us that most of our things were misplaced & that he does not take guarantee for it. On perusal he finally sent in half our stuff. However most of it was scratched, broken and dilapidated (check photos attached)The height of un professionalism came to the forefront when they refused to send in the bike and started blackmailing us to give more money over & above the RS 13,500.They demanded RS 6,000 more although we had a receipt of the RS 13,500 already paid to them.( check receipt attached) On refusal of payment into this extortion they threatened to never return the bike. This is despite the fact that they had already misplaced most of out stuff and were now keen on only swindling and extracting more money. Soon they started threatening us with their links to an influential political party
To top this all after repeated request they brought the Bike via Tempo outside my house and then refused to put it down till we paid them the extra money, now claiming that this is the octroi charge for a bike. However, the question of Octroi duty for the same does not come into the picture as the bike is registered with maharashtra itself.
When we refused to make this unwarranted payment,they soon started haggling and were ready to negotiate on this amount of RS 6000.This act took us by surprise & we realized that they are into the business of harrowing, cheating , threatening & using coercion to extract additional, undue money over & above the cost from the people who use their services.
This incident took us by shock to see that there are such fraudulent companies that cheat people in the guise of service for payment.Kindly make note of not using the services of this particular company to pack your goods while movement from one place to another.
Thought would inform you guys because as young professionals we often move cities & I would not want anyone to have the same mental traumatizing experience like us. Kindly caution as many people as possible by forwarding this email. This may save someone else who might want to tie up with these bunch of cheats.

Damage of items and non coperations during shifting from Bangalore to Kolkata
Complaint Rating: 0 % with 0 votes
I had engaged DRS-Agarwal packers and movers for my houshold shifting from Bangalore to Kolkata.
(Vide GC no 845067 dated 01.06.08 for the car and 845066 dated 02.06.08 for entire other household items)
I had following very bad experiences:
(a) On the day the container reached in Kolkata, my address, a team of in experienced and raw people sent for unpacking and organizing from the local kolkata office. Practically we had to work shoulder to shoulder with them to make it happen.
(b) The packing items (plastic and cardboard boxes) till date (i.e. 18.06.08, 11 days after unpacking) is lying in front of my flat in the apartment, blocking the lift passage, creating nuisance to other neighbours and putting in embarassing conditions. I had made atleast 30-40 calls to local calcutta office of DRS (Agarwal) and Bangalore office, but now given up. The apatrment maintenance people are insisting to throw them out asap. I do not understand these items which are to be reused, how company can behave in such non professional manner.
(c) Though I had given the car in very neat and clean conditions in Bangalore. In kolkata I was delivered the car 3 days behind promised date and in a very dirty, shabby condition. The seats have been totally made dirty and black greasy spots. This delivery has also been possible after my atleast 25-30 phone calls to Kolkata representative and Bangalore representative.

I do not understand these items which are to be reused, how company can behave in such non professional manner.
(c) Though I had given the car in very neat and clean conditions in Bangalore. In kolkata I was delivered the car 3 days behind promised date and in a very dirty, shabby condition. The seats have been totally made dirty and black greasy spots. This delivery has also been possible after my atleast 25-30 phone calls to Kolkata representative and Bangalore representative.

Missing Sofa-Cum-Bed
Complaint Rating: 33 % with 3 votes
I have moved from Kolkata to Delhi and chose DRS Logistics subsidiary Agarwal Packers & Movers for Household Transportation. This is one biggest mistake I made because upon delivery we found that, a wooden sofa-cum-bed is missing which costs approximately Rs.10000. I have followed up several times with the kolkata branch office and also delhi branch office and did not get my sofa yet. It's almost 20 days since the goods arrived. I do get calls from them but no solution. Sometimes , it is told to me that, the sofa is the delhi office godown and it will reach within a day and sometimes it is told that, the sofa is in kolkata office godown and it will reach within 4 days.
The list contains the item as sofa-cum-bed with 24 as serial no. but the value which has been put against it is Rs.1000 only. They got this signed in hurry and left from my Kolkata home.
Don't know how to tackle them but for sure I will see the end to this.

Breakage of goods
Complaint Rating: 67 % with 3 votes
I moved from Delhi to Mumbai and selected the DRS group, Agarwal Packers and Movers. My stuff arrived to Mumbai with three of my valuable chinaware smashed to pieces and my computer table broken beyond repair. While I managed to see that the china was broken, they quietly put away the table in such a way that I came to know about it only later. Of course, that was too late... i wrote to them and called them up an umpteen number of times, but they never bothered to respond.
The thing to be careful about these guys is that they pack the way they feel like and they refuse to dismantle things as it is extra work for them. Then the handling and stacking is done in any odd way. They also make sure that they take a full payment from you before dispatch so you cannot catch them at all. Similarly when they unpack they will bear down upon you till you do the necessary signatures.
I had also moved my car from delhi and they delivered it while i was at office in mumbai. The petrol tank was completely emptied [i gave them a full tank] and they broke a handle, which they quietly stuck with superglue. They spilled the glue too and that has left marks all over my door.
Cannot say that they are horrible packers... but I would not recommend them to anyone... and they cheat you!

Hi;
I have a similar very bad experience with Agarwal Packers and Movers (DRS Group).
http://www.agarwalpackers.com
They damaged my new Fully Automatic washing machine and upon claim and repeated follow up
gave me a very minimal amount.
They have also damaged my new Fridge and Bed and i have to call separate people to get them repaired.
I can understand the frustration where you pay all money in advance trusting that the goods are in responsible hands but they are real cheaters.
You should move to consumer court in your city against these guys.
Thanks,
VikramJeet Singh.

Pros:
None (except sweet talking idiots)
Cons:
Your luggege would be broken...for sure...
I booked my entire household items from Gurgaon to Hyderabad using Agarwal movers and
Packers in March 08. It reached Hyderabad within the time limit given by them.....but...
When I saw it......I
Click!
Click!
found that every items which could have broken was broken...except for my Cloths. Even my
Bookd and Files had road side dust in them and were torn apart as if someone has thouwn
them on the dground ruthlessly.
My dining Table, My Fridge, Gas Stove, TV, Sony home Theatre, Sofa Set, TV Table, Study
Table, Two double beds, entire crockery......were broken..
I had paid them 3% extra for so called "insurance" ..whihc only later I found that is not
actually insured....they only would "repair" it..and not replace it....Some items whihc are
completely torn aprt, they say that they’d give me money (75%) of actual value
declared...only).....It’d been 6 weeks now since I have been calling this bundle of
bastards....at Agarwal....but they are still to resolve it....
I advise everyone to stay away from this mover & "breaker".......instead book Interem
....who are professional...to the core...
