Honestly, I saw all of the negative reviews and I should have listened to them more wholeheartedly. I'll share a breakdown of my miserable experience with this company from start to finish.
Initial planning & pickup:
I needed a mover last minute to move 4 boxes an office chair, 2 guitars, and an air purifier from Vegas to LA and these guys not only showed up late for pickup, but the movers had no idea what they were picking up, where they were taking it, or when it should be delivered despite me sending communication of this through multiple avenues well in advance (text, email, and through Yelp messages). They arrived with a giant Uhaul truck instead of their own company truck or a cargo van (like they said they would for my amount of items). They were charging $1850 to move my items, which I knew was overpriced for what we were moving. This company didn't organize or track my items at all and didn't handle them with any amount of care. I had to ask them to take pictures to send it to me because they had no process in place to track my items themselves. I had to remind them to take the first payment for the move as well (which was half the cost upfront) which was infuriating since it's not my job to remind them how to do theirs. They made me pay through cash app because of some excuse about credit cards being charged twice through their machines which was really sketchy as well since I've already seen a lot of reviews about people not getting their deposits back when they would no-show after receiving payments via cash app. It's all a lame excuse to prevent you being able to dispute the payments as much as possible.
The Move:
The items were scheduled to be delivered on Sunday at 3 PM (two days after pickup). I even reached out to them earlier in the morning on Sunday and said I would be fine for them to show up earlier if they needed to since they said they had another job in LA. They ended up arriving at 5:20 PM which was well past the scheduled delivery time and past the time my storage was open. I told them they would need to hold the items for another day since they dropped the ball and arrived so late. I even offered to wake up at 5 AM to meet them at our storage at 6 AM so they could quickly drop off our items since they were concerned about another move they needed to do that day. One of the movers then reached out and asks for me to send them $300 through cash app for a hotel, gas and food. I called their boss and mentioned 1. I was not going to pay them anything to cover those costs since it was their own fault for poorly managing their time. And 2. It was extremely unprofessional to even reach out and ask a customer for money like this. The boss, Luis, then tried to profusely apologize to rectify the situation and said not to worry about it and that it was their fault and they'll handle it, so I tried to look past it and leave it at that.
Arrival Day/Delivery:
I woke up at 5 AM with a text from one of the movers claiming the storage isn't open until 9 AM that he sent at midnight the previous night (I was already asleep at that point since I had to wake up at 5). I then texted him in the morning to remind him I have extended morning hours (which I had already communicated the day before) and called him to no response. The boss then calls around 6 AM (when we were to have already met) to let me know the movers were on their way. I arrive at the storage and the movers are sitting in their truck not coming out to unload our items. We go to their window to see what's going on and they said they were waiting for a call from their boss. I then received a text from their boss, Luis, asking me for money AGAIN to cover their expenses for being there overnight even after the conversation from the day before. I was infuriated at this point. I kept trying to give them opportunities to redeem themselves and they failed over and over again. I called Luis and laid into him about how he shouldn't even have the nerve to ask me for ANY additional payment at this point as I already went out of my way to get there early so they could make it to their next job on time. Only AFTER that exchange with Luis, the movers finally got out of the car and unloaded our items. I didn't even let them take it to my storage unit because I was so infuriated. They had the wardrobe box on its side and an expensive air purifier of mine was just rolling around in the back of the truck on its side. Yet again, the movers forgot to collect the payment before leaving and this time I didn't remind them, because it's not my job to do so. Following that, they've been trying to harass me to answer calls to complete the payment despite this horrendous experience and lack of professionalism that they were already overcharging for.
Please steer clear of this company regardless of how desperate of a situation you're in, it's for your own sanity & peace of mind. read more
