This is one of the reasons why the relocation industry in India is booming. Unfortunately, unlicensed, unregistered, and fake moving companies are mushrooming in number. They lure customers by offering unrealistically low moving quotes only to add hidden charges later. These fake moving companies often delay delivery, cause damage, and sometimes do not even deliver items. They work under duplicate brand names and fake websites to mislead people. Moreover, most of the fraud packing companies force you to pay a high advance payment. We mention some of the common packers and movers&#8217; scams below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_No_Website\"><\/span><b>1. No Website<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this digital world, every business has an online presence. This is the easiest way to find out whether you are going to hire professional packers and movers. Look for the company&#8217;s Google My Business listing and go through the customer reviews. Check for an authentic business domain and verified social media pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Unbelievably_Low_Quotes\"><\/span><b>2. Unbelievably Low Quotes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see a packers and movers&#8217; cost unbelievably low, you should do proper research before hiring them. When a company charges significantly low, you might have to pay more later. Good packers and movers always consider the packing materials, fuel, and distance before giving you the quote. If someone offers low quotes, they are likely to go for poor-quality packing materials. It&#8217;s better to compare multiple quotations to steer clear of such fake companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/bike-parcel-by-train\/\">Bike Parcel By Train: How To Book, Documents, Charges<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Copied_Brand_Names\"><\/span><b>3. Copied Brand Names<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fake packers and movers copy names from other brands. You are likely to see similar-sounding names. Sometimes they change the spelling to confuse customers. For example, you may see different variations of &#8220;Gati.&#8221; If you see &#8220;Gati Packers and Movers,&#8221; &#8220;Gati Express Delivery,&#8221; or &#8220;Gati Express Movers&#8221;, you should beware of the company. Apart from names, fraud packers and movers use similar logos. When searching for professional movers, verify the GST number, the company&#8217;s full name, its business listing on relevant platforms, and its office location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_No_Registration\"><\/span><b>4. No Registration<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To determine whether a moving company is legitimate, verify its license and registration. It is important to ask for a GST certificate, a PAN card of the company, and a valid transport permit. Fake companies are rarely registered, or they usually show fake numbers. If you see hesitation in showing the certification or numbers, it&#8217;s best to walk away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/car-transport-by-train\/\">How to Move Car by Train: Booking Process, Documents &amp; Charges<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_No_Invoice\"><\/span><b>5. No Invoice<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the packers and movers refuse to provide a written quotation or share an invoice, they are most likely to burden you with hidden charges later. Professional moving companies detail the delivery schedule, charges, and the items requiring special attention. Before hiring any moving company, you should have a signed contract with pickup and delivery dates. Make sure to have a detailed breakdown of the packers and movers&#8217; quotes. Fake room shifting services are most likely not to share the official bill or tax invoice with GST details.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another red flag to watch out for is unprofessional communication. If they are impatient in listening to your requirements or being pushy, you should not cave in and do a quick booking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/transit-insurance\/\">What is Transit Insurance?

Before making a decision, you should look out for these red flags. This way, you can find the best packers and movers in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Go_Beyond_Phone_Calls\"><\/span><b>1. Go Beyond Phone Calls<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing reliable home shifting services requires a lot of consideration before booking. So, before hiring the relocation service, you should verify their official address. If you cannot visit the relocation company, you can cross-check their physical office on Google Maps. Fake room shifting services only work through temporary addresses and phone calls. Genuine relocation services will tell you where they are located and the service areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Review_Payment_Terms\"><\/span><b>2. Review Payment Terms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should be cautious when the movers and packers ask for a large advance payment. Professional house shifting services only ask for a small token. You are generally asked to pay the remaining amount after delivery. It is better to avoid companies that only ask you to pay in cash. Good packing companies accept UPI and card payments as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Thorough_Documentation\"><\/span><b>3. Thorough Documentation<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before choosing packers for moving, you should get the delivery timeline, pickup date, and quotes in writing. If they give you vague promises and do not require any documents, it&#8217;s best to steer clear. Professional packers and movers are always transparent with the process and cost breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Do_Not_Book_under_Pressure\"><\/span><b>4. Do Not Book under Pressure<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you found a packing and moving company that has poor ratings and online reviews? And they are asking you to book right away? It&#8217;s a huge red flag! Instead of relying on ratings, you should dig into the customer reviews. And when you see house moving companies pressurising you to do instant booking, you should give it a thought. Genuine relocation services give you enough time to make up your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentomojo.com\/blog\/new-gas-connection\/\">How To Get A New Gas Connection: Online And Offline Modes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Actions_to_Take_Against_Packers_and_Movers_Scam_in_India\"><\/span><b>Actions to Take Against Packers and Movers&#8217; Scam in India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to witness a seamless experience, you should follow a few tips.
