Shipping in India has grown tremendously over the last few decades and plays a crucial role in contributing to the country’s economy, considering that 90 percent of India’s trade is done via Sea. Off late, India’s large migration rate for employment and education opportunities abroad and the older generations shift to settle back home keeps the shipping industry well-oiled. Hence there has been an exponential growth of shipping companies. Chennai based Universal Relocations is an example of one such company that has leveraged the growth of the shipping industry in India. “At Universal, we understand how stressful moving to a new place can be. Our role isn’t to merely assist someone with their move but rather completely alleviate them from the burdens that come with it,” says Sai Dattani, President at Universal Relocations.
The company aims to provide cost-effective relocation assistance for both, International and Domestic moves by providing the clients with several possibilities for them to choose the best economical option. The Move Coordinators at Universal Relocations evaluate several factors such as the time sensitivity, commodity, volume
and value of the shipment to accordingly advise the most suitable option to their clients.
Portfolio of shipping solutions
Shipping to the USA from India is much more than a change of scenery. Relocation process is time consuming and requires proper documentation and authority. The company therefore offers LCL and Baggage shipping solutions for clients who are looking to ship only a few of their personal belongings that are not time sensitive at an economical rate. Universal Relocations also offer FCL shipping options for clients who are looking to ship a 2+ bedroom apartment worth of items, allowing them to opt for an entire container exclusively for their shipment, and avoiding several third-party handling of their shipment during transit. Additionally, the company provides Air and Pet Relocation assistance to and from India.
Whether it’s shipping household goods & personal effects or Auto, Universal Relocations is the solution that will ship from the US to India, or vice versa.
