[Resolved]  Icm pack 'n' move — pending claims

Address:Tamil Nadu

I hired Icm pack n move to shift my house hold belongings from chennai to Mumbai (g.c no. 81720). I had taken an insurance of Rs. one lakh and paid a premium of Rs. 3000 towards the same. Shifting was done on 4th oct 2011 and delivered on 7th oct 2011. During the packing process 4 critical panels of my wall unit were damaged. Our valuable cane furniture were literally converted into a scribbling pad by noting the packing numbers with PERMANENT MARKERS on them.The same was brought to the notice of Mr Sashikant singh of icm chennai. During the unloading four out of the six wheels of our Tv unit was broken. The Manager here (Mr Dixit) promised to sort all of the above on the very next day. But the next day never came!!! He just made excuses and finally stopped attending to our calls. I contacted ICM chennai and spoke to Mr sashikant singh. The next day One Mr upadhyay came to visit from icm mumbai. After numerous followups he promised to pay the claim on 5th nov 2011. When contacted on 5th he said 7th nov 2011 but never paid anything. Finally we called and contacted Mr Babu in icm chennai who promised some action and requested a mail in this regard. I sent the mail immediately and urged immediate action. I contacted Mr Navin Sharma, Director, icm who promised to do the needful. Two days on, Mr Sumir Joshi of icm mumbai came for a visit. He promised a carpenter the next day to finish the job. The carpenter came empty handed and said the cane furniture will be varnised the next day. He did come the next day but to my ultimate shock, was not aware of the A,B,C'S of varnishing. He literally threw varnish on my cane furniture and chiseled the permanent marker writings to my utter shock. I called mr Joshi and told him that the carpenter does not know anything and i would not like to handover my precious wall and tv unit repairs to him after seeing the damage he had done to my cane furniture. Now Mr Joshi of ICM says that the insurer will pay Rs.3000(that is my premium back)towards damages!!! What a new way to cheat ! He has not provided the insurer's details. I am not sure if the premium was pocketed by icm or if the claim was pocketed by them. I have been managing the tv unit with 2 wheels and paper tucked in other places for support. The wall unit is also unstable and we have to constantly remind our 7 year old son to keep away from it.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am Mrs. Rama Kamboj w/o Mr. Sachin Kamboj. I had purchased all Furniture & electronics things on my wedding time last year in April 19th 2007 from M/s Chaudhry Furniture & Electronics - A-21, Indrapuri (Near Indrapuri Police Station), Main Delhi Saharanpur Road, Loni, Ghaziabad. Contact Person - Mr. Ravinder- [protected].

I had been compain to this person many times personaly & on telephone also against Almirah & LG TV, but this man is very irresponsible about his job, he always says to us that I will send my mechanic at your residence but no one has come to solve our problems.

Today morning I did make a call to him two times but he disconnet my number by saying that this is a wrong No. & please do not call here.

Therefore, I request you to please do the needful against this person as soon as possible, we are very bother to this man.

You can inform us on my husband's tel. no. - [protected].

Thanking you
Rama Kamboj

Subject: C/E Rajat Jain - LR No. 82428/ Chennai to Noida / 3% premium / Insurance amt - Rs. 2, 50, 000/-


Dear Naveen,

With reference to subject matter, kindly note that I called Sunny (Chennai) at my office ITC SHERATON PARK, CHENNAI to discuss about hiring your services for transporting of my good from Chennai to Noida in the month of March 2012. which was subsequently finalized.

Your service people came & packed the good on 27th & 28th March and the goods were despatched. on 28th evening. All the while during packing, we kept on insisting on packing with proper care with bubble wrap & corrugated paper for certain critical things, but your boys just wanted to finish packing and gave us confirmation for safe & intact delivery.

To my surprise, I was asked Rs.100/- for getting the so called special form which was bascially an Insurance coverage form by your packing boy.

However, upon receiving the goods at Noida on 4th April 2012, many of the items were found damaged & some beyond repair. I called for an Insurance surveyor, and on 7th April, one person from Delhi office named "Vijay" came to my residence, checked the items & took the list back to office.

Upon my enquiring from Delhi office, I was informed by "Amardeep" that he has forwarded the list to you and awaiting your instructions. Since nothing was happening either from Delhi office or from your end, I kept on calling Sunny (Chennai) & Amardeep (Delhi) to know the status of my claim, to which no one was bothered. Then on 30th April, I called Amardeep again, upon which he said something has to be done only from Chennai office. After sometime, he called me again to tell me that Repair person would come & get the things done & for items that could not be rectified, money would be reimbursed according to the declared value.

On 1st May, Jatin (who is in copy) came and inspected the items & took the list again back to office & told repairing items would be done within 2-3 days and other items for claim would take sometime.

FYI, MY STUFF ARE ALL OUT SINCE THE ALMIRAH IS DAMAGED & WE HAVE NO PLACE TO KEEP THE CLOTHINGS ETC. WE ARE ALSO SLEEPING IN OTHER ROOM WHICH IS NOT OURS.

I fail to understand that in the event of getting the order, you guys give big talks, but when it comes to do the things rightly & without harrasing the customer, you guys take months to settle the things. Is this the professional approach you guys show to the customer who could also be your prospective Corporate client???

THE SERVICE SUCKS BIG TIME & IS PATHETIC.

I am loosing patience as I am here with my 1 yr old daughter & not yet properly settled all because of your pathetic service & response.

Please advise if this shall be solved amicably or else has to be legally???

ALL I AM ASKING TO REPLACE THE ITEMS DAMAGED OR REPAIR.
======================
Still I dint receive reply from them even after 2 reminders, planning to sue them soon - Rajat Jain [protected]
After the posting on the website ICM contacted me to resolve the matter - request to remove the above comments posted. Shall update later...!
After reading alll the above reviews, I thank my luck that I had a narrow escape before getting duped at the hands of these fraudsters...

I was suppose to relocate my HHG & Car from Mumbai to Kolkata and after inspection they quoted me for the job.. On negotiation, they reduce the price further nad offered me a final quote of Rs.85, 000/- all inclusive.

The packing was scheduled for 30th May, in the evening of 29th May, 2 people arrive at my place and does a reinspection and says we will have to offer you big truck and it will not be possible for us to relocate your stuff in the agreed price, they asked for higher price and just left saying that we will do the shifting but the cost will be above 1, 00, 000.00

Now, i have to arrnage for another packer & movers after seeing there response. I tried contacting their branch manger, Mr. Doshi, Mr. Dixit and also chennai office but didnot get any propoe response. Also tried calling up there director Mr. Sharma but he is also not responsing.
ICM Pack N Move are the biggest thugs. After promising a world class service while taking the contract in Mumbai they raised hell for me and created a lot of suffering on my family's part due to their bad service.I have just relocated and was shifting my car and household stuff through them from Mumbai to Bangalore.Before taking the contract they had agreed to a 50% payment post delivery of all goods and car . They forcibly detained my car at their Yeswanthpur warehouse premises and asked me to pay up the balance amount before they delivered the car. I paid up everything except Rs 5000 which i promised to pay on car delivery.The manager Randhir talked like a goon and refused any help although i promised to pay the full amount.Finally i had to personally go to their warehouse 40 kms away and collect the vehicle. These guys are goons but intitally will talk very politely to you to get the deal. Don't give them any packing and moving assignment.They will hold your stuff ransom and ask for money.
Here are some problems WITH ICM PACK N MOVE:

1. They signed on our behalf without our consent.
2. I had paid Rs. 3, 000 for insurance of which only Rs 850 were used towards goods insurance. Rest was gobbled up.
3. Damaged Piano worth Rs. 79, 000.
4. Lost 85 kgs of stuff.

If you call them, they start talking in Tamil pretending that they don't understand english.

Pathetic service. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. DO NOT USE THEM EVER. IT IS BETTER TO LEAVE YOUR STUFF WHERE IT IS THEN MOVE USING THESE GUYS.
YES. ICM PACK AND MOVE IS A HORRIBLE (I CANNOT SAY THAT STRONGLY ENOUGH) COMPANY TO WORK WITH. PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR SERVICES (BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE). TAKE A PROFESSIONAL AND ETHICAL COMPANY INTO CONSIDERATION. THIS COMPANY IS NEITHER ETHICAL NOR PROFESSIONAL. IT IS A COMPANY FULL OF SCAMSTARS WHO WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET YOUR BUSINESS AND THEN NOT RESPOND AT ALL WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS. NOTE THAT I DID NOT SAY IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS BUT WHEN. YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS COMPANY.

PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE SERIOUSLY. I HAVE ALREADY POSTED MY PROBLEMS ON SULEKHA AND OTHER WEBSITES. REMEMBER SULEKHA DOES NOT POST NEGATIVE COMMENTS UNLESS THEY HAVE VERIFIED THEM. TRY WRITING A NEGATIVE REVIEW ON SULEKHA AND SEE IF THEY POST IT.

ICM PACK AND MOVE (CHENNAI AND PUNE OFFICE IN MY EXPERIENCE) IS A HORRIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL AND UNETHICAL COMPANY. DO NOT USE THEM.
Highly unprofessional and cheats. They stole our one box full of electronic stuff.
I am frustrated and highly disappointed with the service of ICM guys. I used their service to move my household stuff including bike from Pune to Udaipur on 30 March 2013. My GC Number is 105817. You can mail me at [protected]@comcast.net to get further information.



I was dealing with Mr. Pratap Choudhary at ICM Pune office. He offered a quote of Rs. 12000 after looking at all the stuff to pack, and based on this quote we finalized the deal.
But on the day of packing they bought small size boxes and charged us Rs. 3000 extra as the number of boxes increased.
Since we had a deadline to travel to new place and vacate the flat, we paid him the extra amount too. Just to save some money I did this mistake of not going for professional packers but now I highly regret as I have actually paid the same amount which standard reputed packers and movers quoted.
They charged us for insurance but never did that. They committed to deliver within 5 days but it took us 15 days to receive the consignment. After calling them every day, they finally revealed that they are actually car movers and place the house hold stuff packages in the car moving trucks as per the availability, and since there is no truck to deliver car to Udaipur, it will take time to deliver.



Finally when I received the consignment I saw one box # 19 comprising of electronics and watches missing. I reported this to Mr. Pratap Chaudhary and he straight away lied that he has moved all the items of that box into another box prior to shipping our package. We opened all the boxes and confirmed that the box #19 was actually missing and there was no clubbing of boxes done.
Now we call them every day till date to request Mr. Pratap to check in his (godown) for Box # 19. We haven’t found the box yet and still following up with ICM Packers. They identified the highest value box while packing and cleverly stole it.
