Earth Relocation

I have used Earth relocation to move my office from Edison, NJ to Jersey City, NJ. Their team was very professional, they explained the whole process and went out of the way to assist the employees in whatever way they can. The cost for the move was also very competitive. We also have used them to move an employee to India and to move our guest house from NJ to PA. In both the moves they again proved their excellence.

Great company to do business with. They handled the entire process of relocation with precision. I would especially like to thank Samir for his personal attention.

Absolutely love the Earth Relocation crew. I was told by a colleague that used their service that I was in good hands and they did not disappoint. Their packing service was flawless and the entire move was done in a way that made me feel that my possessions were in very secure hands. Thank you Earth Relocation for taking such great care of me.

I recently moved my home goods to Pakistan using earth relocation. They gave me a quote that was lower than the other relocation companies. They came in, packed all the house hold, loaded into a container and shipped out. The shipment was delivered at our residence on time with no hassle at all. They did what they said. Excellent job by every one, specially, by Kapil Lahoti. The guy is just amazing, truthful and very professional. I will not think twice using them again. A job well done

I contacted Earth Relocation because I was being relocated abroad by my company. They were very detailed and explained how the entire process would happen. I compared their pricing and found them to be below what the other companies quoted me. The day of the move came and their crew was very efficient and even helped me pack up some art pieces that I have in my collection (see picture). Everything went smoothly and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for professional relocation services.

Worst moving experience ever I had and they are not professionals. They are here to gulp money from you and take every chance to do that. They quoted me a very high price and finally matched the price with a quote from one of their competitors. They claim to provide free quote, blah blah just to blind you from high prices and hidden charges.
They add additional packing charges after shipping that they packed those items. In fact for me they charged for items that they haven’t packed. All those items were original manufacture packaging. They held my consignment as hostage to pay these additional extra charges. Stay away from «EARTH RELOCATION». I have taken pictures of all packages they have charged extra that has no packing from «EARTH RELOCATION».
Note:They don’t use wooden packing as in the picture. All their google reviews are self posted by «EARTH RELOCATION» and rigged.

Worst moving experience ever! I have had 3 moves between US and Canada in the last 3 years and this was hands down the worst moving experience we encountered. The first 2 moves were a hassle like all moves usually are but I was given a service I was told I will be given for the price that was quoted. With Earth Relocation however, the price I was quoted at first was ~$ 1800, the price I paid was ~$ 4800. The amount I paid was more than the total sum of my previous 2 moves and the number of items I moved was the same (if not less) than what I moved the previous 2 times. I had to give up and pay the money because my good were held hostage with them. All attempts at trying to negotiate a lower cost were refused. Even when I offered to let go some of my stuff to reduce my cost they said that would end up costing me more if I try to dispose stuff that they were holding from me. Every step of the moving process was a nightmare. There was no explanation or no transparency on what services would be included in their initial quote. I know, part of is my fault too. I should have asked the questions. But because my previous 2 experiences were all handled so well by the movers and they were guiding me through the process I foolishly assumed Earth will do the same too. Here are some details on what additional cost I ended up paying:
1) They told me that packing service was included in my initial quote. Turns out later that as per their movers, there was a lot of packing material used so there was extra packing cost added.
2) The movers who came to pack my stuff, started packing all my furniture in boxes. I asked them to just put furniture blankets over them, to which they told me that this is a service they provide. Not even one mentioning to me that this is costing me money.
3) They do not come to review your furniture while quoting. They expect you to give them an accurate assessment on how many boxes I would need. During the quoting process the furniture I stated was the furniture I moved. In terms of the boxes I may have underestimated a few boxes. But this is where I expect them to come and review my stuff and tell me how much they would expect my stuff to be rather than expecting me to know. They are moving «experts» after all. When all was said and done, I was slapped with a higher quote stating that I had lot more stuff than quoted.
4) Earth uses a lot of other vendors to do most of their work so they dont have any control on what is going on with different phases of the move.
5) Even paying the money to them was a hassle. When I was booking earth relocation, they conveniently accepted credit card without any surcharges. But when the time to make the payment came, they again come back and say that there is a surcharge for credit card payment. Wire transfer ended up charging me extra money.
6) In my previous moves, the company that moved my stuff, accepted payment when they got the stuff to my door. They processed the payment and then moved the goods in. With earth it is like a hostage situation. They dont release your stuff till you pay them. I seriously question this. How do I trust that they would bring over my stuff after they take my money. I think it is only fair they come to my door step with the goods and take the money from me before they unload.
7) Finally, the custom clearance step also was made difficult. With my previous movers, the moving company came with me to the custom office (which you have to go anyways). They guided me there and they took all paper work they needed from me there. With earth, I had to go to their office first, pick up documents and then go to the custom office. Extra step that I had not done before.
In summary, I dont think this company has what it takes to move goods. Avoid this if you can. So much negotiation with them ended up wasting my time. The staff tries to sweet talk you but it is all a farce.

Move From: New Jersey
Move To: Montréal, QC, Canada
We would like to thank Earth Relocation and just wanted to share our positive experience with ER.
Once we contacted them, our goods were packed and moved within a week’s time from our home. All paperwork was done upfront for clearance of goods in Canada and we had to go to customs terminal in Montréal as indicated in advance by our moving consultant. Everything was arranged as planned and our door to door moving was completed in 6 business days. Other companies we were contacted by were giving transit times of 2 – 3 weeks and one company in New York even mentioned one month in transit time. It was peak moving season and we were not getting clarity on pickup and delivery time frames from other folks and this was very critical for us as the job I started in Canada had a dedicated day and we wanted to setup our new apartment in advance. In any case, all went well and the cost of the move was not exorbitant either. So I am doing my due diligence by sharing my experience and would like to give full marks to ER.
Cheers,
