Negative Universal Relocations Inc. Reviews
Vijay kumar Kokkeragadda, Google
The final invoice was based on the estimated volume, even after I removed a large bed and mattress. My requests for actual measurements and a revised invoice received no clarification.
Chris Evans, Google
The shipment was delayed because the warehouse failed to load it onto the planned truck. One box was missing at delivery, and the company did not provide transparent communication.
Shivani Goenka, Google
On delivery day, one box was missing. The company later acknowledged that no inventory check was done at origin. It arrived a week later, but the process was hectic and lacked accountability.
Neutral Universal Relocations Inc. Reviews
Yelp
The goods were delivered by professionals and storage was reasonably priced. Only two handymen unloaded the truck, and a china cabinet glass door broke.
Yelp
My packages arrived safely and movers were professional, but answers required months of follow-up. Delivery came eight hours after the scheduled window, and billing messages felt threatening.
Yelp
No items were damaged inside the boxes, but updates stopped after the ship reached India. I had to follow up repeatedly, and customs charges differed from what was initially stated.
