i took the services of Safe movers and packer's Jaipur office to shift my house hold good to Kota from Jaipur on 4th October 2011 (Consignment Note no. 1870) through truck no. PB 65 D 9355 ( driver's mobile -9815282828 helpers no. 8963070971). Mr. K.K Sharma (9309093261) of Jaipur was the person in-charge. There were two events which took place. A day earlier Sharma's assistant visited my place to take a look at the goods. One day prior to that i explained on phone each and every detail of my transportable goods to Sharma . He gave me a quotation of Rs. 8500. Next day his assistant asked me Rs. 14,000. I was very short of time as i had to join my new job at the earliest. I reluctantly agreed. Assistant told me that insurance of the goods will be 1% of the declared amount . That seemed to be reasonable. Now Sharma, when the goods were already loaded, told that the actual rate of insurance is 1.5%. I had good worth Rs. 1,00,000. I knew that i was being be-fooled tremendously but had no option. i asked Sharma to give me the insurance policy before the truck leaves to which he replied that it is not possible and instead he gave a bill no. 1022 bearing title 'insurance details' mentioning an amount of Rs. 1500. Till date after giving him numerous calls he didn't send me the insurance policy. Now he is not picking my phone either. It is clear that the said amount has been engulfed by Sharma.
It is very difficult to ascertain which company is reliable. I earlier had dealt with this company and they were very fine. I had similar experiences with Manish Logistics Services,Jodhpur. They were very good twice and the third time they charged more and were highly unprofessional. I was relaxed and trusted them so again had a short of time to search other packers.
These small companies first build trust and then after few dealings take their customer for granted because they know there is no dearth of the same.
My advice is to remain aloof from these companies.
Best of luck
Abhishek Singh Chauhan
