In India moving industry is growing with faster rate, according to the estimates of experts its yearly turnover is more than billions. End users of relocation services are still suffering with a lot of problems. Unsuspected customers got cheated by fraud companies and this happens due to the highly unorganised structure of the industry.

Why moving Frauds are on the rise in India

Office set-up to show professionalism: to gain the interest and trust of the customers, relocation companies set-up offices by providing them a good name. These companies keep on work to some unemployed and uneducated persons, trained them with basic stuffs and start job. But in actual these companies are not professional but cheating the customers by showing good image.

Replacement of joint families to nuclear families:  In today’s world families are nuclear and most of the nuclear families like to move from villages to cities. A single person can’t handle all the tasks so it is obligatory to hire Packers and Movers Company to avoid unnecessary workload and move with ease & safety.

Unseen cost frauds – Companies attract their customers by preparing a sound invoice and then make a correction by hiking the price. This information is given to customers after the loading but before delivering the goods. In the clearance they give the statement that these are some hidden cost unmentioned in the initial bill.

Advance deposit and disappearing – Most of the Companies ask for some advance payment before giving a certain solution but never give moving service on the required time. So, we advise you should never deposit advance because it is enough that your goods are in the hands of moving company. This is not reasonable for moving company to say for advance.
