    Excellent Service

    I had them transfer 6 boxes out of Dallas into Pune. The support was outstanding overall. I received telephone calls and emails which supplied me updates about where my dispatch has been nearly weekly and also through the COVID situation. The bundles were obtained safe and strong. Truly appreciate their support through and through. Also wished to love Huzaina, as she managed all of the communicating with me once I had come to India along with her outstanding coordination ensured that the boxes got sent to my door even during that period of COVID limitations. The boxes were sanitized before we touched us. Thank you for the excellent service which has been granted. Felt that I got value for every single penny I spent.

    Universal Relocations

    I will recommend anybody to utilize Universal Relocations to your overseas freight requirements. I’ve used them twice so far. First I delivered a 20 feet container as well as also the 2nd time 7 boxes. I don’t have any words to say the support they’ve given. Super. No hassle instantaneous services and answers on your own instincts. Their staffs are notable. Very respectful and professional. I really don’t think any business would do a much better job. I’m glad I have used this company for your own requirements. Really I’ve contacted several relocation firms in US to perform my move. From many I eventually determined with Universal Relocations because of their answers, reasonable prices and etc.. After I utilizes them for my 20 feet container move there isn’t any way I’ll go with anybody. The schedule can differ for a day or two because of vacations, otherwise they’re at their diploma. Thank you Universal.

    Long-distance move from Milwaukee, WI
    Look no further to ship boxes from US to India

    Shipped 2 Shipping of 5 boxes along with two boxes of home items from Milwaukee, WI to Villupuram, TN. I was originally skeptical about the ceremony after reading testimonials that their support isn’t too good in India facet but was just proved wrong afterwards.

    Overall they’re quite receptive to emails and answered back to my queries immediately. At the US side, following signing/scanning waiver types, they ordered FedEx pickup out of my apt on the requested date. I needed to reschedule the pickup for my next cargo and they did it fast.

    When the FedEx delivered the boxes into Universal Relocations’s warehouse in NJ, the boxes stayed there until they get rich from the container. My initial shipment was loaded in 3 months and my next dispatch was loaded in weekly. After the containers were loaded, they delivered tracking information of this container and also sent emails each week updating the present condition of the shipment.

    At India facet, the boxes stayed in the Chennai Port for approximately 3 months and has been billed rs 5800 for 5 boxes for port clearance. The boxes were then taken for their warehouse at Tamil Nadu and following a week and half an hour, the boxes were filled in their own truck and was supplied with tracking information. I managed to monitor the present gps location of this truck until it touched my property. The delivery men were professional also. It required over 4 weeks to receive my very first shipment.

    I’m still awaiting my next dispatch but I am certain that I’ll get it with no hassle.

    Have to thank Universal to their superb support and please keep up your great work!

    Long-distance move from Columbus, OH
    Excellent Service

    We’d contacted UR on April, 2020 for the motion of 9 boxes in Columbus OH to Kolkata. They had supplied all of the directions in details. Venkat in the USA staff had supplied All of the information along with the labels to the dispatch of these boxes throughout FedEx from the flat to UR Warehouse from USA. They’d supplied the deadline of 3 weeks to get its boxes to achieve India, and also throughout the Covid-19 pandemic they could deliver. After the bundles attained India, Mothish was the purpose of touch. He had supplied all of the upgrades along with the monitoring info. We obtained the boxes over two months of time. Customs were performed fast. UR and Mothish moved from how to supply the boxes once the state of West Bengal wasn’t letting trucks from beyond the country to go into the city. They’d ordered neighborhood smaller trucks to provide the package and at a really reasonable rate also. The delivery men were quite punctual and nicely dressed. They assisted us to purge the boxes. I am not certain about the bad reviews, however we didn’t confront even one problem for this corporation. All of our items were obtained correctly, no broken things (we’d glass objects ), no damages, no lost items, no problems in any respect. I would advise UR to anybody who’s going back to Kolkata.

    We transferred our furniture from India to USA for hardly 2-bedroom. Costed us $7,000. We have the A-team to package our family things. I visit so many negative remarks here. I agree with something. Delivery group in USA was also crappy. But due to the top excellent packaging in India all our things arrived in excellent condition. Don’t forget to pay extra insurance. This will ensure rapid shipping.

    Not reliable

    My experience was not great at all great. I did boat 7 boxes in 2 different consignments. First consignment had 5 boxes. The boxes were chosen by FEDEX in my house and delivered to their own ware property. FEDEX was their representative. However, to my surprise, once I got the bill, Universal had additional $50 as packing fees. When I checked and called, they stated they obtained two boxes in ruined state. Even though it wasn’t my fault, I still had to cover that excess cash. After the consignment reached Chennai, they billed me yet another Rs.3260 saying that this was interface congestion fees. They don’t mention anything whilst picking up the substance. For the consignment of 2 boxes, they billed me around Rs. 1960 saying precisely the exact same reason. Until that is compensated, they won’t release your own material. Practically, it’s similar to holding you in ransom. They claim to be the best although not affordable. However, it is like you’re being cheated.

    Please do not go with Universal Relocations.

    Please don’t proceed with Universal Relocations.

    1. I utilized Universal Relocations to Ship 8 Boxes out of Norwalk, CT TO Coimbatore. The encounter that I had was dreadful. We delivered our Shipment by June and Received by September 3rd week after a Massive battle with damages on New branded Kitchen utensils such as Hard Anodized Pans That’s Too Costly.
    2. We did everything in accordance with the directions supplied by Mr. Madhusudhan, earnings rep from US. We packaged with XL Heavy responsibility Box and composed Fragile about the box also. But then also the harm had occurred. We contacted the insurance policy group and they’re saying they wont insure individual things that’s not acceptable. Due to the bends in sausage and pan the utensils are non functional that are new ones.
    3. Each one knows that the entire box may not be missing. The boxes weren’t managed correctly. The boxes once it touched our house was in quite poor condition due to which this damage occurred. That is purely their carelessness however as a Client we must suffer. We aren’t earning money just like that. We’re working hard to make one cent by leaving our family and friends. People today dont know that.
    4. After applying this Generic Relocations to Transfer from US to India,to be frank we’d plenty of problems and psychological torture.
    5. Please please do not Generic Relocations. There many other great, secure and safe movers that wil get ur possessions safely.
    6. A number of my buddies shifted great deal of other precious things together with other relocation suppliers that attained safely with no damages.

    It was my error to proceed with Universal Relocations therefore that I wouldnt recommend you buddies also to perform the identical mistake.

    Worst Shipping company Hidden charges ! Bad costumer care

    We sent 5 boxes from Houston TX to India. We were advised it’s going to require 3-4 weeks and there won’t be any additional fees if there’s absolutely no electric gear. Initially we had been billed

    $500 Box fee

    $125 Box repackaging

    $90 for insurance

    $715 Total

    Its 7 months today we’ve still not obtained the boxes however. Not certain what conditions they’re in. While assessing the status We’re advised now that we might need to pay an additional around 6k INR longer if we need the boxes. Below are the fees they cited.

    INR 5053 Port Charges

    INR 913 Service Fees

    Complete INR 5966

    That is crazy! We have a visa rejection and need to move,watched the testimonials and chose will go for this corporation. However, that is the way we’re being treated!!

    We were advised no excess charge will probably be there today they keep charging additional that is crazy! Wont urge this moving business! Will go on each site and will attempt to write reviews so that nobody else get cheated because we did!

    Fundamentally for 5 boxes that they need $800 and still may be more!

    Terrible experience. Dishonest staff who care least about the customer

    I transferred from Sunnyvale to Pune in April (well things attained in August) 2017.

    In a nutshell, the move proved to be a dreadful experience filled with headaches; the team couldn’t have cared any less. I deeply regret doing business together and I wouldn’t ever recommend them to anybody. All of this is based on my experience naturally.

    First of all Universal Relocations and UniRelo will be the exact same business. They attempt look as though they are just two diff businesses – sites, office addresses, and telephone numbers are all different and the sales reps will also be distinct. They provide various quotes. But end of the afternoon when performing the paper work it becomes apparent they’re exactly the same. Alert #1.

    1. I worked with Mr. Madhusudhan. He looked like the most educated and professional sales rep reassuring me that they’ll make my move as easy as possible. Well that was before I paid my initial buck, that is when the problem began. Afterwards I understood the hard way that it is the trick they use to lure you in – hook, line and sinker.

    2. The packers who showed up to package the things were the very unprofessional packers I have seen. The men waiting outdoors Home Deport for job do a much better job. Although I’d segregated different things in various boxes (toilet, kitchen, bedroom, living room etc) and put them into various groups, the men simply dumped everything randomly to the boxes.

    3. If I had been to package the stuff myself I had been recommended to utilize heavy duty (double walled) boxes. I had them pack rather and they ended up with routine boxes (single walled) that do not hold up well to demanding usage. Obviously they billed me to the heavy duty boxes. It would not have mattered when half of the boxes delivered after 4 weeks weren’t squashed and mangled leading to the substance in these being broken.

    4. They indicate that you need to use their distinctive TV boxes ($100) to be in a position to file for insurance plus they place the box by means of a battery of tests. That is a lie to allow you to pay more. It’s precisely the identical flexible box you can find at U-haul or Home Depot for under $30.

    5. My shipment was held up at the destination interface (Chennai) for nearly 3 months and that led in jack storage fees. Universal dumped all of that on me. I later found out other businesses that do the ideal thing by absorbing portion of this fee and getting the client pay the rest.

    6. The means by which the customs and interface discharge was managed was quite unprofessional. I got asks to cover all dues (habits, port fees etc) that I did, but there wasn’t any follow up to inform me of the standing or supply me with all the paper work to back the fees. I needed to create a few follow and call ups to acquire them. Again every time I called I heard that the normal explanation”Sorry sir we forgot”. They kept forgetting for nearly 2-3 weeks.

    7. Eventually when the dispatch made it into Pune, there was more trouble from the Mathadi marriage. Maharashtra has a marriage of employees who do unloading and loading, and movers need to utilize these employees – that is the state legislation (well the marriage is conducted by you know that, that is another issue). But worldwide (for a business which claims to run across the planet ironically) doesn’t use them and needed me compensate the marriage rather. Universal rudely declined they would have anything to do with all the compensations, although it was their obligation to understand more about the nation rules and use the ideal people as the nation rule mandates. The agent quoted distinct clauses in the agreement (which were obviously open to interpretation) to shake off their obligation. This is precisely what they offered from the’exceptions’ -“Difficult access prices to the doorway, Shuttle Service” -> translated as the marriage was causing them problem to get the client’s door. Cunning!

    8. On unpacking and checking a number of the products were discovered broken and ruined, including some expensive ones. As always universal disowns any liability – it is the insurer’s duty they stated. Obviously the insurance company had their own method to deny the claim. Universal did zilch to aid with the promise. The things could have made it secure if universal utilized specialist packers and the ideal packing materials to package the material in the first location. But no, they cut every possible corner to earn more cash in the client’s expense.

    And incidentally, I have not managed to get a grasp of Mr. Madhusudhan ever since the dispatch left the doorway in Sunnyvale.

    Net-net, my expertise with Universal Relocations (a.k.a UniRelo) was dreadful. What the employees do would be nothing short of deceiving the client to produce a couple added bucks.

    Liars, cheaters and poor customer experience!

    I’d transferred from USA back to India at February 2017. Received my shipment at India in May 2017.

    Overall very bad experience because of lack of products, innumerous is based on Universal through the trade and hence don’t suggest the professional services. Although the people I had coped with seemed all real but reduction of products across the way and also their inability to assist made it a really bad experience.

    Short background: I’d reserved Universal Relocator since it seemed like a fantastic new, a business came on top whilst googling. I didn’t do a great deal of study on the client feedback as it is get super mad to move your loved ones together with family. Once I finished the moving trade and dreadful experience together, I’d see the customer comments all around the net describing same ordeals that I had experienced together. Therefore it was my own fault of not performing a fantastic homework prior to booking my dispatch together.

    Zero ethics: The quotation process appeared little awkward to me since it was not simple. The fees were based upon the quantity of materials. Universal quantified the authentic volume in their location after picking up all of the products out of my house. The real quantity I was cited was more than twice of what I had been quoted — it was also double than that which the pick-up guy had signaled to me personally. I’m no authority in measuring quantity but I am certain that the pick-up men do this for dwelling and could have a fair notion of quantity by taking a look at size and quantity of boxes. Therefore it was a jolt that I took with a pinch of salt — as at the instant, you really can’t do anything

    Reduction of merchandise: Upon getting the dispatch in the doorstep, then I discovered couple of my electronics were lost, a number of the decorative items were lost along with a lot many were busted. After opening several boxes it was quite apparent that boxes have been opened in a certain point in time throughout the transit. I had a net reduction of over $1000.

    I’d bought Complete Packing choice from Universal and also paid heavily for this. Total packing means, they package everything by themselves. Quite reluctantly they marked couple boxes because”packed by owner” rather than”packed with Packer” even when they’d packaged them. I am not positive whether it was intentional or an error — however that played against the insurance Estimates and all of my claims for reduction of merchandise had been rejected as Insurance firm said I packaged boxes in my own.

    Suggestions: While I strongly urge to not go together but even in the event you choose to proceed, take photos of each box until you allow them package it. There’s a strong possibility you’re likely to neglect after 3 weeks of dispatch delivery that box had what thing. In addition, there’s absolutely no way you are able to confirm each box contents directly on shipping — so photos taken just before you place the tape on box could come in rather handy to confirm if you obtained everything.

    Be prepared for the surprise price components: While I had been told of their habit fees beforehand but I was amazed by lender fees, notary fees and port fees I was requested to cover once my dispatch dropped over the Chennai port. It was not a massive amount but again something that they never said in the start.

    Ineffective insurance: They’re so many exceptions which one will ignore or at least not care for. I finally lost few appreciated electronics without having reimbursed even when I’d obtained insurance for them. Again, Universal will inquire to purchase complete Packing out of them to be qualified for insurance — but in my situation even after purchasing Full Packing alternative, all of my claims have been refused.

    Remember insurance has a deductible of $250. I used ton’t feel a lot about this clause until I had had to really go for asserting insurance. From the hindsight, this did not make any feeling of large deductible in the event of P&C insurance. I’d promised insurance of approximately $1000 (when my claim’d adjudicated successfully, I’d have got only $750). However, my statements were refused entirely as a result of all kinds of exceptions which didn’t make any sense to me.

    Net internet I felt cheated from Universal with all these lies on the way. The products were stolen during transportation and Generic took no obligation for this. It led me directly to insurance that refused my claims as Universal smartly said”Packed by Owner” to the stock list if they should have composed”Packed by Packer”. I paid a large amount for transport which resulted in reduction of products and very bad customer service expertise. I strongly urge to avoid them.

    Universal Relocations/UniRelo company cheats, steals and scams you!

    Oh my god!! I wish I’d read a number of those negative reviews about facebook until I picked this business to the transfer. Everybody giving negative reviews are put on! Transferring as is, is stressful, but those guys get it more difficult than anything else.

    1 line inspection – This provider cheats, scams and beats you! Please, take care not to go together. They’re quite, very good for you at the start to receive your organization, and then begins series of issues. It’s been 7 weeks since we sent our things together and until now we’re addressing our shipping issues together. High level inspection — They slip your things particularly new things with tags (in our instance, a single complete box has been stolen and might be few more things in different boxes), they then claim it’s missing and cannot be discovered. It will not stop that, they scam you with all insurance coverage also. Packer says do not set the thing on the insurance policy stock, destination service individual enables you to wait until the final date to file insurance and then sends you the URL to document insurance. So that you receive no cash from insurance also or your missing things. This makes me think even the insurance carrier may be involved with this. So total sum scam, DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME WITH UNIVERSAL RELOCATIONS. Should you want information, then please see all below.

    Merely to provide you with a quick overview — Richard Maben, is generally the man in US facet, that sweet talks you into what and cause you to think that sending through them is simple breezy. He then becomes the nightmare. No kidding! Below are our enormous problems — that they STOLE our one whole box in the dispatch. The truth is, THAT BOX’d the very precious things with mainly expensive brand new with tags items, having a entire worth of more than 3000. If they delivered one less box, then I vow. Nevertheless, the sweet talker Richard along with the Bangalore support individual Priya Kumar (both label teaming in deceiving folks, read others’ testimonials here in order to explain ), promised me they’ll come across the box regardless of what. They waited for 45 times (even with regular enquiry I’d like ) to return to me to the 45th day using the insurance coverage connection to file for insurance for our lost box. However, the story does not finish here, our things were rejected in the promise for two reasons — postponed asserting of insurance, and also the priciest thing not the insurance policy stock. Upon further study we discovered that one thing wasn’t on the stock as the packer Bruce Glaze candy spoken us (again) to not be worried about incorporating the item in stock as we’d complete loss insurance. He explained”only dreadful thing that could happen for your cargo is in case the freight ship goes down, provided that you’ve got complete loss insurance (which we had), do not be worried about adding the thing” (because that has been a last second addition to your dispatch. In center of all of the moving and packaging, we trusted him and now we receive nothing in your insurance! We inquired Richard & Priya regarding our loss and said we do not need any money, simply see our box and then provide it for us. How do a box go lost? It must be sitting either in the warehouse another client should have obtained an additional box within their dispatch that I am sure these men and women who’ve realized that when they send shipments to individuals and rely on them. But seemingly Richard says that he cannot locate that the box and Priya states that they can’t refund our cash. With constant fight with all the firm they provided $100 reimbursement for our 3000 loss, 4 weeks of time we’ve spent with this problem, enormous stress we’ve taken to cope with this problem and eventually washed off their hands. This leaves us strongly feel that it cannot be a coincidence that the very precious box cannot go lost, in reality it’s been stolen! So please don’t even consider this firm for your transport requirements and discuss this info with other people also. Thanks!

    Universal International relocation.

    I’d worldwide relocations transfer from Boston to India( two stage delivery). We elected to get a complete loading 20 Ft container.

    At the beginning I would love to say that my 1 celebrity is completely because of my expertise with the shipping group just.

    Our sales representatives were Arvind and Jyothsna. Arvind was fine and did his job. Jyothsna was utterly rude and condescending. Your work is to describe the procedure to your clients. We do not go half way throughout the world every second day and regardless of our very best research you will need to inform us upfront exactly what to expect with regard to the move along with the expenses associated. On their site the quoted deposit was $500 but they invoiced us for 50% of the total quoted speed. We almost chose to cancel our arrangement until they fixed the bill to that which was originally agreed upon.

    To their credit however ours had been a last minute booking and also they obtained the paperwork along with other procedure done within two weeks and had the packers scheduled to come punctually.

    The packaging staff was professional, careful and efficient. We’d multiple top value electronics that they packaged quite well( no crating) and we all obtained with no difficulties at shipping. No complaints here.

    Through the transit we obtained regular updates concerning the whereabouts of their container along with its projected arrival date.

    The shipment arrived on time and also the habits procedure has been a breeze. The group in the interface was exceptional and created a possibly debilitating procedure look like a walk at the park. That is where our great experience finished and the nightmare started.

    We had been delegated to Mr. Rajan in the shipping team. There was a tiny sudden delay using the container so that he suggested that we have the dispatch transferred to their own warehouse so we are able to save on cost of container to get the additional days. ( I love that he was looking out to us). At this time we needed our dispatch to be shipped to two distinct areas since we were not limited by the container and that they had been pleased to fend for an excess charge.

    We moved into the Chennai warehouse to replicate our belongings to be shipped to the two places. Imagine our shock when all our electronic equipment have been piled one on top of another with heavy things on top of it. You devote a load of cash to get them pack and transfer your important things and you discover it chucked like a lot of garbage to the warehouse floor since they did not have sufficient space.

    Going back into the additional charges. They gave Rs 13k before unloading the container at the warehouse along with an extra Rs 25k for shipping to the next stage of shipping. We consented to this 25K but weren’t certain why it’d cost Rs 13k simply to purge the container in the warehouse. We had been given contradictory responses by different folks within the team. After a few back and forth e-mails together with the staff I still got no response but only an email saying I want to cover up to allow them to program the deliveries ( Not positive if that was assumed to imply that they have my things and I am at their mercy before I cover up.) The problem has been escalated to the direction and Mr. Prabhu eventually gave us a settlement and we were billed a suitable sum for its warehouse transport rather than the Rs 13k.

    Per week or two later we obtained delivery of the bigger of our fares minus one thing which we watched in the warehouse but wasn’t comprised from the packaging team from the stock list. We had been requested to send an email so that the item could be shipped to us at a subsequent date.

    The next dispatch with lesser things took another 3 months to be sent. Still no indication of the lost thing. Its been 6 weeks since the very first shipping and that I still haven’t got our thing ( A mattress) and neither have the staff in Universal bothered to respond with some several e-mails enquiring concerning it.

    The onsite delivery men again were wonderful. The wash up following delivery was great also.

    Last words into the group.

    Mr.Arvind: Thanks for the fast turn-around.
    Mr.Prabhu: We love your help in solving our problems as promised.
    Mr. Rajan: Even though you always and repeatedly stressed that you’re doing so to help out us I’d love to remind you which you aren’t doing us any favors. Its own JOB to assist the client and decrease their price. Thats why folks picked your business over the many others. Perhaps you need to think about cutting back on your own lofty speeches concerning customer support and set them into action to actually help your clients.

    Overview:

    Our products arrived safe and solid except for a small broken product. We had a complete container so based on this, one broken thing is insignificant. When we exclude our expertise using Mr. Rajan we’ll speed Universal relocations like FOUR STARS!! No one star for its delay in shipping.

    I shall update this article in two weeks to allow you guys know if we obtained the lost mattress.

    Do not move with this company. Please see all reviews.

    That is my current personal experience. I don’t suggest Universal Re-locations since they cost less while quoting. But they overcharge by up to 50 percent with no previous intimation giving motives of repacking, added boxes and after that charge overages promising excess cubic feet. This is a terrible practice they’re after to overcharge clients at the right time of shipping.
    In my situation, they stated that they repacked 5 boxes, but I wonder how do they repack 5 sticks and then become the next 5 boxes. First boxes have been 20, nevertheless turned to 25 boxes.
    My pickup was rescheduled a few times, today my stuffs are still stuck in Chennai port since they won’t discharge unless I cover in total.
    Despite insistent requests they won’t go over this thing over telephone number.

    Long-distance move from Abu Dhabi
    A moving company with no trucks?

    If I could give 0 begins, I’d. Universal Relocations is your local partner for the global movement from Abu Dhabi into the United States. Despite understanding the coming date for my possessions for more than two weeks, then they have yet to be in a position to organize a truck to receive my possessions for me personally. They’ve kept my possessions in their own warehouse for more than two months and then advised me it’ll be another 3 months ahead of my belongings arrives. I had been nominated a 10-12 week coming to our container. My coming will now be 20+ months. What type of moving business requires a month to program a truck once they’ve known concerning the dispatch 2 months beforehand?

    Very Bad - BEWARE

    I’ve transferred from USA to Bangalore in Jan 2019. I’d reserved the dispatch of four boxes using Universal Relocations according to my buddies recommendations, Packed and fell in the UPS store in mid Jan..
    Originally they stated I don’t need to pay anything whilst getting the package, but I got an email along with a telephone from the company saying I want to cover close to 3k rupees for habits. Done, paid, then there was not any news whatsoever for nearly 30 days. Then I started following up and also got a fresh narrative saying that the bundle is currently in Bangalore and there’s a contractual problems with Gati courier therefore my package wasn’t delivered. In frustration I went and chose the bundles in the warehouse at my vehicle.

    The story starts today.

    As soon as I checked, all of four boxes were cut at the center. (Not where you glued the tape to shut the box). Many a lot of my possessions were missing. As soon as I requested and wrote multiple mails, the settlement comes as, We can’t assist you as you didn’t signed for your insurance. I’ve seen many many of those products were missing nearly a complete box of 16 x 24. Very much dissatisfied with the ceremony.
    Not sure how they would have behaved if I’d insurance as well with a price of few more hundred bucks.
    I would suggest to search for the alternative as everybody needed to shovel off the obligation and close the issue.

    Prabhu Subramaniam from Chennai office and this company is a scam

    My Transfer is from India to Canada

    The Client support man named Prabhu Subramaniam out of Chennai office is the largest scammer. Their other scammer comprise Punithan Ramu (who delivered me double the invoice to get volume-weight). Their customer support is a joke!!! They’re duplicated on all emails, where I’m beating for fraudulent charges, however they wont respond! They have no interest in serving client, or client satisfaction.

    When I had been in India, I’d gotten a quotation from Universal relocation. They said that for Canada the dispatch through atmosphere is just couple hundred $ more than sea, so I opted to choose their air cargo package. They’d also noted that for air shipment they’ll only utilize weight, rather than quantity (used for sea). I packed all of my things and left inside their storage, came here in order to locate occupation, home etc.. Now that it is time to receive my shipment, they’ve shifted their cost. They are currently charging me to get weight-volume. They’re a huge scam, have improved my price to double the sum. And that is before I’ve paid for airport obligations, insurance, and the rest of the arbitrary charges they include. They’re a big time scam, and that I do not recommend
    Anyone with them.

    Prabhu will mislead you, never mention concerning the quantity, and lie to you after giving a quotation. I’d telephoned him and asked him a few times, and he intentionally lied that I will be billed on burden alone. They’ll provide the cheapest estimate on goal, when in actuality, their true price is 3 times their quotation. He’ll intentionally not offer the invoice whenever you’re in India, but just send when it’s time for shipping, resulting in extra strain.

    I wish to cancel my movement together. Anybody has recommendation for great movers out of Chennai to Canada?

    Worst relocation nightmare

    Zero stars If I could put in it.

    We lived through an this movement nightmare because the afternoon we had our things packed and transported by Universal Relocation team. A dreadful experience for our loved ones full of anxiety, nervousness, harassment and also blackmailing.

    Here are a Few of the problems We’ve confronted –
    1) Quality of non – Inferior caliber of boxes and packaging materials were utilized.
    2) No usage of Bubble Wrap for packaging our crockery and delicate collectibles. Effect: All of winde eyeglasses, glass utensils and classic purchased from global holidays are wholly broken.
    3) private items of ceramic and glass were just chucked in the boxes using a single layer of paper wrapped around. Watch the movie for yourself.
    4) Holes at the boxes so that we discovered rodents within our boxes once we unpacked. Things were infested with rodents and rodents – actually had a dead mouse at one of those cartons
    5) Volume had been inflated by raising amount of boxes rather than filling the boxes entirely. The majority of the boxes includes substantial number of vacant space. Consequently, so lots of the boxes got crushed and pressed. Additionally, small-small boxes have been packaged to boost the quantity. At least 100 CFT quantity was inserted by doing these sort of tactics.
    6) Mattress has been wrapped in only 1 layer of translucent plastic (serron wrapping ). Again no more bubble wrap. Thus the mattress became very dirty in transit that voids that the 25 year guarantee that we’ve out of Sealy about the mattress.
    7) Threatened and blackmailed with their own company employees on telephone, that all our stuff is going to be left with all the habits. That is after we’d already sent our passports for you personally and they had been on your possession. They also also threatened us and another Universal relo workers doing unpacking in our home about increasing the packing dilemma. He essentially threatened them concerning agreeing with us about packaging quality.
    8) No-one occurred if we complained repeatedly on-phone concerning our concern regarding quality of packaging.

    I am able to discuss more detailed information, photographs and movies. Beware, proceed with almost any other business on earth although not them.

    Shipped 5 bundles and has been billed for 5. They stated they have the dispatch into their warehouse and they even dropped the dispatch! They are entirely unresponsive in regards to the reduction. I’m very unhappy with their support and wouldn’t suggest this service to anybody.

    Oh their staff in India is completely unprofessional and deficiency business integrity. Their warehouses aren’t vandalism and theft evidence.

    Very Poor services and they charge you extra when it comes to Customs!

    They loot your funds and once the container reaches traditions, they simply send you a invoice and tell you you are the unlucky one. He habits chosen your container to get check and they’re charging you. Don’t use their expert services. It has happened to us two. After after we moved our belongings in US to India and now coming back again. They billed us $1000 extra, aside from their transportation fees which are 10000. Therefore, in case you would like to squander your cash opt for them.

    ****DO NOT USE UNIVERSAL RELOCATION SERVICE*** - The WORST RELOCATION COMPANY !!!!!!!!

    I will attempt to be as objective as possible and clarify my expertise so that you are able to draw your own decisions. I purchased roughly a 1100$ quotation that sounded too good to be true (it was) to get 12 Boxes and two Tv’s Anyhow, that got picked up on 13th Jan 2016 in Rockville,Maryland, I Received my thing in Mumbai on 15th April 2017, I Was Really Happy when I noticed that my boxes and TV’s are here finally,

    The Blunder started when I started these 12 Boxes, I was shocked when I noticed that lots of precious things including my SONY Digi Cams,Homedics Massagers, Lee aluminium Watches,Winter Vests, Addidas Hoddies, brand new 17inch swiss gear back, few my brand new skechers shoes that were bubble, even they did not spare my shaving things such as Gillette Razors, they shot whole Box of Gillette Razors that was wrapped, little small precious electrical items such as google cromecasts,KODI flowing box, and also few of my new pants were lost, many things were upside down, and seems like a one has severely did a filthy play, all these aforementioned things were robbed out of my boxes.

    Fortunately I got my few things such as Xbox,Game CD’s, Bose/JBL speakers along with my TV’s, for which I thank Universal Relocation not carrying away those.

    In-spite of paying all charges/customs/taxes/port fees, these men ROBBED me

    When calculating the approx cost of these lost things, it comes about 600$ USD approx,

    I phoned Barkha Rani, who’s the Manager,Situated at Cheenai, she literally said that you haven’t got insurance, so I dont believe you’ll get reimbursed, so she stated I will allow you to understand what she never phoned me e-mailed me.

    My wife talked with Richard Maben, who’s the earnings Supervisor in US nothing aid out of him also.

    Than I got call from Mr Jugal out of Pune, who’s also a supervisor who works from Pune, he additionally took same advice from me, also stated I will received a telephone or answer from main division, nobody called me neither emailed me.

    Personally, I feel I had been cheated and flirty, after making hard cash, if those folks are likely to Rob you, the way to do business with those guys?

    Rite now nobody appears to be worried about my missing things,

    So I personally request you men, DO NOT USE THIS ROBBER COMPANY!!!

    It is far better to market things where ever you’re rather than becoming ROBBED.
