Unfortunately the moving industry is riddled with fake and fraudulent practices. Its quite hard for new people to identify the safe packers and movers company in their locality. Here are a few tips that can be checked before being scammed by the fake movers in the market.
Low budget Quotation Trap: Obviously they will give you attractive quote which will be far cheaper than any other in the market.
Fake Weight and volume manipulation: They will definitely increase charges in the moving day assuming your items are bigger or extra items were not mentioned. They will convince you of the higher charges on the moving day and you cannot win with them.
Hidden and surprise charges: Even if they safely deliver your goods they will always ask and add some major hidden charges after the shifting is over and you will have to pay them. In such cases you can complain to the admin of their company by email/phone. And if no actions are being taken then you can go for legal actions.
Higher Advance: They vanish after taking advance booking. Always pay the booking amount online and in companies current account only.
Fake Insurance: This is the common practice made these days in almost every moving company. Fake insurance just to take an extra amount and if something damages then no claims can be made as they were not real insurance.
