I rarely write negative reviews, but this was hands down one of the worst service experiences I…read morehave ever had.
What should have been a simple one-mile move turned into a stressful, expensive, and poorly managed ordeal. The crew arrived roughly four hours late after a last-minute crew replacement, I nearly missed my flight because of the delay, my furniture was left partially assembled, my instructions were ignored, and the apartment was left in complete disarray despite paying a premium price.
To start with a positive, scheduling the appointment was easy, and both the dispatcher and moving crew were polite. Unfortunately, that was where the positive experience ended.
When I booked the move, I made it very clear that I needed to leave for the airport at 7:00 PM. I was assured the crew would arrive between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM and that the move would take no more than three hours. I had already moved approximately 50% of the apartment myself, leaving only the larger items that required professional movers.
Throughout the day, I repeatedly called dispatch because I needed to reserve the loading bay and elevator in my building to make the move as efficient as possible. During one of those calls, I learned that the original crew assigned to my move was not going to make it. Dispatch switched crews and sent a replacement team, but they did not arrive until around 4:00 PM.
To make the move easier and faster, I had already disassembled one of my beds. When I mentioned this beforehand, I was told that everything was fine and that it would help speed up the move. At no point was I informed that they would refuse to reassemble furniture disassembled by the customer.
Because of the delay, I had to leave for the airport to avoid missing my flight. I arranged for a building guard to stay behind, supervise the move, and assist with any issues. I also clearly instructed the crew where furniture and boxes should be placed and told them to call or text if they needed clarification.
Instead, I returned to find the apartment left in complete disarray. One bed was assembled, but the other was left disassembled. Only afterward was I told over the phone that they would not reassemble it because they had not been the ones to take it apart. Had this policy been communicated beforehand, I could have planned accordingly.
The crew also left dressers, storage cubes, and other furniture scattered throughout the living room rather than placing them where requested. I specifically instructed them that if certain boxes could not fit in their intended locations, they could leave them in the kitchen. Instead, everything was simply unloaded into the living room with little effort made to organize or place items as directed. I have attached photos showing the condition in which the apartment was left.
To make matters worse, the final price was significantly higher than expected, especially considering the delays, incomplete work, and lack of communication.
Between the missed arrival window, last-minute crew replacement, poor communication, failure to follow instructions, incomplete assembly work, and excessive cost, this was easily the worst moving experience and one of the worst service experiences I have ever had.
I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.
Edit: Calling the number provided in the business review is not helpful as I was in a 25 minute queue with no answer. On top of that they do not want to respond to the email I sent them in hopes of resolving the issue.
