“2 years ago these guys came to my place and picked up all my furniture and household. 2+ years laters they haven’t shipped anything! They don’t pick up the phone and never reply to emails. AVOID them at any cost. They keep lying. I took legal action against them. ABSOLUTE SCAMMERS.”
“Scam alert.. one person acting in different roles and deceiving the customers. Aware of blue peter lines. While looking for a shipping company to ship my household items from UAE to the UK, I came across Blue peter lines. The website was quite impressive, and I got the quote From Cecil. I asked about the charges and the service. He promised me that my items would reach my UK destination in a month, and the quote was for door-to-door service, which meant I didn't have to worry about anything or pay additional.
Later, Cecil showed his true color. He stopped answering my calls, ignored texts and gave no information on my cargo. The items were taken from me on June 8th, 2022, and after several follow up, I was able to get about the container details on September 2nd , and the packing list provided was incorrect. When I asked about the container details and the expected arrival date, he threatened me to call him Mr. Cecil or Sir. and not by his name. Also, when I contacted him to get the details on the consignment, he threatened me, telling me that he would be throwing my items in the garbage.
I had no clue on my shipment , if it was shipped from UAE, while he sent me a wrong packing list , I had to call his sub contract - movers to check if my items were properly packed and handed over to blue peter . They assumed that I was from blue peter lines and they started discussing with me about the pending dues which blue peter lines had to pay them . And they even said that there was huge outstanding for many months and it has to be cleared asap.
The cargo arrived here in the UK by September 2nd and while I contacted him, he was speaking so rudely and he ignored my calls and the emails of the local shipping agent (Top Removals UK) .Later I knew that he did not pay the shipping agent (Top Removals UK) for the clearance and the door delivery and they weren't able to reach him(Cecil) as well. Only then I knew that this guy is a cheat and he has taken all the money from the customers and not paying to his shipping partners .
Whenever I called him, he used to abuse and threaten me and due to this I had to go through mental stress. I had no choice other than paying the charges myself and getting the items delivered to me. I have also lodged a complaint with the authorities in UAE .
Therefore please be aware of this company and the one and only sales/accountant/logistics guy Cecil/John/Antony .He might speak very politely and friendly and give you assurance.Once you have paid your money , he will start showing his true nature. Even he asked me to show some courtesy as if he was doing all this free of cost. I was really shocked and surprised. Whatever quote he had given, I had paid him and later he was threatening me.
Cecil is the person who is only one person working in all the departments which he will send emails from Sales, accounts, documents etc.. and all the different contact numbers calls will be attended by him.
After investigating I came to know something about the company that his wife and another partner owns the Blue Peter LLC both in Kerala . For all the fraud and criminal works, Cecil will not be responsible and the responsibility will be on companies name who they are in Kerala(India) and Cecil can be safe in UAE.
If you want to get cheated and lose all your money and sleep please contact Cecil- Blue peter lines
Not worth to give even 1 star, may be Cecil might have given all 5 star reviews in google and given feedback for that. Definitely he will do that because he is such a mentality guy”
“Stay away from this Company, It's a SCAM!!! Fraud!
Like so many reviews, I paid for a container to be shipped from Dubai to the UK. The container arrived in the UK and they are not paying final destination chargers to the local UK delivery company. I have paid in full and now cannot get access to all my household and family goods. They refuse to answer phone calls messages and emails.
I have lodged claims with the Police, Dubai Consumer protection, and Sharjah Consumer rights.
Don't get caught, move on from this Scam.”
“STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY
I don't recommend to ever , ever do business with this company as they are the most incompetent and underhanded bunch of people I have ever come across.
They have cost me thousands of dollars in demurrage, storage and overstay charges for my two containers from Dubai to South Africa just because they tried to save a penny on my expense, while claiming full Door To Door service.
They try to trick you to recommend an agent in your country of destination , then they don't conclude their contractual arrangements with these agents and try and blame everything on you !! They recommended a list of "trusted partners" to choose from and when they failed to reach an agreement for 9 days after the container arrived with the agent of their choosing , they then tried to blame me saying that they were "forced" to use the agent that I recommended.
All this while the demurrage and overstay charges accumulate against your risk because they exclude all demurrage, storage and overstay charges from their quotes.
They willfully misled me and kept the fact that there were delays for 9 days already that is for my account ,because the knew they excluded and delay charges and I will foot the bill.
I was forced to step in to take control of the shipment. This cost me thousand more to step in and they now refuse to return the money they owe me me to complete their work.”
“Blue Peter Lines are the movers you can trust. Their team is very professional, helpful and courteous. They made our move really smooth. The delivery was also made on the given timelines. Satisfied that we paid for the right services.”
“I had a really great experience with blue peter lines. They came through on everything they promised. My goods were well-packed and nothing got damaged. People all along the line were courteous, knowledgeable and really responsive. I had one issue of packing that they resolved in a very timely way. They helped us with everything. Really grateful.”
“Good services and great communication from the team. They kept us well informed about our belongings and delivered everything safely. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
“International moving is one of those things you do once in a lifetime. It's expensive and you hope you don't mess up your decision. Paying upfront adds even more stress to the equation. With Blue Peter Lines, the price was okay and the service was high quality. It took about a month to get everything to Montreal but when it did it was in good shape. The movers didn't drop everything and leave like most movers. They stayed until things were all in the right place. Furniture aligned and boxes in the right rooms. It was a nice touch at the very end.”
“It is not possible to move all by yourself, you have to take help with some or the other company. But our experience has not been that great when it came to any moving company until now. But after availing of services from Blue Peter lines this has changed. While moving this time, we chose their services and it has been a decent encounter. We did not face any issues whatsoever. Happy with the whole experience and in future, we are definitely coming back to them.”
