i used Bridgeway Reolcations who promised crate packing for my fragile art sculptures during the assessment/survey, however crate packing was not done and 2 of my 8 sculptures arrived broken. The sales person claimed it would have cost more for crate packing and said he would have included it into the quote, however it was assured to me during his visit that they would pay special attention to the packing of these sculptures, having acquired many years of experience moving similar items for art galleries. He even name-dropped my country’s consulate as a satisfied customer.
The unpackers at destination were also shocked to learn that it was not packed in crates at loading point.
When i reported the damage to Bridgeway, there was alot of finger pointing and denying about who said what.
The only good thing that came out of it was my insurance payout which got paid within 3 weeks of my report of, which i can only credit myself for. imagine if i did not insure it!
Hi !!
You know i have been living in this country for the last 15 years and I have moved houses almost 12 times. from one emirate to the other and within the city There a lot of things people ignore while moving which i learnt over the passage of time.
First of all when choosing a mover company, ask for a registered trade license in order to safeguard your goods are not being transported by freelancers.
Ask for their employees visas if you could to know whether they are under the same sponsorship with the company or not. Alot of movers end up with 10 to 12 people , they hardly know how to speak english and then i find out they are not even a part of their company & they say they are professionals. I have heard, Move one , Allied Pickford , Global Relocation , Secpac global have registered trade licenses and employees under their sponsorship. but some companies rates are on a higher side. for my last move I have called almost seven companies for a survey for my 5 bedroom villa moving from Mirdif to Arabian Ranges… the quote came from AED 12000 to AED 2200 but those cheap rate came from company which was not a company the guys don’t have a trade licence , have not taken shower , they have not changed their dress for many days and came with no packing material and open truck none of them were able to speak English…. I had no choice but to call a company and I called secpac global… and the next day they have done very good job just for AED 4000/- and the boys were very pleasant , with uniform and brought the covered trucks it was a superb job!
Hope this helps.
you can call visit their website at http://www.secpacglobal.com

Bad service provided by Ruby Cargo for the door to door service from Dubai to Mumbai.
1. The people arrived at my Mumbai apartment unannounced and demanded money for unloading the cargo.
2. They did not care to open the boxes and simply dumped the stuff in my flat.
3. When I hired my own labour for opening the boxes, I was shocked to find the following:
4. The washing machine was upside down in the wooden crate and is not working properly.
5. The window AC was scratched and punctured from behind and needs major repair.
6. The standing fan was completely squished and abruptly dismantled and now it cannot be fixed.
7. The wires of the floor lamp was cut to ensure that the stand fits in the box and is now completely unusable.
8. Both my chandeliers are broken into pieces.
9. It’s 45 days now and they want to compensate me with a measly $200. I spend nearly $800 on shipping alone. Even that is not confirmed.

I had used the services of ——– Shipping for packaging and moving my stuff from UAE to another country. Upon reaching my home country when I opened the boxes, expensive electronic items were missing from the shipment and glass items were broken.
The staff was initially rude and later did not attend to my calls or emails as I had left UAE.
PLease do not use their services because:
1. they are much more expensive than other such firms in the market
2. they are crooks who steal items of value and do not respond once the person leaves the country

I have used a Dubai based company to send my cargo London just because they offered me the cheapest rate among 6 other companies. They promised me 30 days transit time but even after 90 days the cargo didn’t come to London, I have checked with the Agent in London , but from the agent I came to know that they have no clue about this Dubai company.. when a friend of mine who live in Dubai checked about that crook company in Dubai there is no office… the call was diverted to a mobile and he didn’t even gave a proper answer. After much pain and agony I have got my cargo spending a lot of money , telephone , and storage charges finally I spent more than the double amount of other companies offered me……….

I had a lot of choice but I have sent my motor bike to Beirut by using Al Mana shipping in Doha Qatar, but these guys didn’t pay the freight charges not even gave me the B/L or any documents . I ended up paying US$ 2200 for storage on top of the other charges. |

Dear everyone at SecPac, All of my 12 boxes have arrived in the USA from Dubai, they were delayed for some days in US Customs, but a US Customs representative emailed to me extra customs documents to fill out and she organized that everything was checked through finally. I thank all of you most sincerely for helping me with my shipment. I knew that my small boxes were safe with SecPacGlobal and I am grateful for your kind support and excellent service. I am now happily re-united with my things. I wish all of you a healthy and prosperous 2012!! Kindest Regards, Kym Court |

I tried several companies in the UAE to send my belongings from Al Ain in Abu Dhabi to Malaysia. The most reasonable wasElite Shipping in Dubai and I went with them and found they were marvellous. They responded to my emails immediately, were helpful, came to Al Ain to pack and were extremely efficient, were able to find a transporter in Malaysia to transport my belongings once they were off the ship as I had door to door (and this is no mean feat) and the goods arrived safely, on time and with no breakages. I recommend them highly. |

I used the services of Quick Movers lately and though I might use this website in the future, I rate the mentioned moving company 1 on a scale of 5. Staff unprofessional and too few, coming with too little boxes and used my boxes and bags, expressed fatigue after one hour from starting to pack, mixing kitchen and living room and bathroom utensils in the same box etc. They wanted to put cabinets in the truck without dismantling them, |

hi, i have used Movers Dubai and they were a disaster!!! they broke my dining table chair, i called them several times, send them whats app and emails, but they simply said it was like that from beginning!! no compensation can be done!
their workers are so rude and they will come and pack your furniture in the worst condition ever with torn apart blankets ! they could not assemble my Ikea sofa and i ended up paying another fee to Ikea to come over and re-assemble. if i could upload the photo, i could show you how they broke the chair leg from the middle. they disappeared with my stuff for few hours and not replying to my calls, that is the time they are putting the glue on the chair to fix it!
it was a horrible experience, please be careful whom you select for moving your house hold.

I never used any moving companies before using full service van lines. When I was about to relocate to another AL Ain, my cousin recommended FINE MOVERS to me and gave their number. I called and talked with the sales rep, I got an attractive deal, my move was scheduled according to my preferred date and the paper work was done in no time. These guys packed my house and moved everything to Indianapolis, IN from Tallahassee, FL within the allotted time and made sure the safety of my valuables. Though I heard so many horror stories about moving companies but my own experience was a very pleasant one. Thanks a lot guys.Now I have a very good relation with the executives of fine movers….
