The absolute worst moving experience ever. If I could give them a negative 5 stars I would. They are deceptive in their quotes, lie about the coverage the provide, and throw on extra charges at every turn. For starters, their original quote included packing of various items, but at the end of the day it cost me an additional $600. Next, their delivery people on the other side (this was an interstate move) held my shipment hostage until I paid them an additional $2,500 on a binding agreement. Then there is the insurance issue. I was told that the shipment was covered for $108,000, hence I didn't feel the need to buy additional coverage. Numerous items were damaged such as the leg supports for the pool table being broken, an antique display cabinet was scratched and pitted, appliances were dented, irreplaceable sculptures were broken, and when it comes to filling the claim they said I'm only covered for 60 cents a pound. Considering they lost a box full of RC aircraft worth over $1,500 dollars (and the aircraft being light by design) I will be lucky to get $5.00 back for a loss of $1,495. Do yourself a big favor and look elsewhere for your moving needs. This company lacks integrity, professionalism, and are complete scammers. Perhaps this is part my fault for believing in the good in people, but unless you pay several thousand dollars extra for more insurance they will completely disrespect your property with no attempt to treat it as I would if I were in their position. Let the buyer beware.
We hired a moving company to move the furniture from California to Georgia. A contract was agreed to in advance for the move, including labor, wrapping, insurance, and so forth(all detailed on the contract).
Fast forward ahead to the day of the move. The problems start when the movers come in and say to us (just looking at the boxes in the apartment) that we have well in excess of what we discussed, we will have to renegotiate our moving contract because we have more than we talked about, after everything was on the truck they said the cost would be double.
Our stuff is currently in transit. At this point, ~1450 has been put on our credit card--$200 a month and a half ago and $1250 a couple of days ago. When the stuff gets delivered, we have to pay the remaining bit in either cash or a cashier's check. (We cannot pay with a CC at the end. My guess is that the people who drive the stuff down are a different set of subcontractors and these people are either illegals, not reporting their income to the government, or wanting to make sure that they at least have some cash in the event that the unsatisfied customer does a charge back on the first half.)
My primary question is whether or not any of you have been in a similar situation, and, if so, what did you do to resolve it? My family is full of lawyers and all of the various legal options have been laid out. I am not looking for legal advice as much as I am looking for other stories similar to mine and what was done (if anything) to prevent yourself from getting completely screwed by, or even profiting from, an obvious bait and switch.
