There is a flaw in Yelp! You should be able to 1/2 star, or 1/4 of a 1/2 of an 1/8 of a 1/5 of a star, such as in this case?
Problem is, I know I have to blame a lot on myself. This company is not with BBB and I had no previous reviews. I trusted them because I met them on the job, helping out homeless children here in Atlanta. They gave me "flat rate" rather than hourly because of the work I do for non-profit. Obviously that flat rate ranked me second in everything.
Here is the story. On the last day of my lease, of course, I scheduled to have them move me out, starting at 9am. I had a one bedroom apartment with about 50 boxes, washer/dryer, mattress, desk, recliner, and entertainment center. That is it. I had gotten rid of a lot of furniture to replace later. They called me the night before, saying "We won't be there until noon." Noon came around, they were nowhere to be seen and they didn't call me, so I called the office, was put on hold for 5 minutes and finally was told "they are being help up and will be there around 3". No where to be seen at 3. No call.
Of course I called again, got put on hold for 5 minutes and eventually was told "they will be there at 6." I was ready to get a UHaul and a couple cheap illegal mexicans. But we'd signed a contract, only problem is ME made the mistake in not having the starting time on there, just the date. A friend stopped by asking how things are going and I simply looked up at the sky. He asked "why is you face so red?!" I said "no comment" lol (I can laugh at it now).
6 o clock come around, again no movers, no van, no nothing. I was ready to give up. A couple friends had told me "don't worry about it. We'll take care of you tomorrow." I got a call around 6:30 (YES! THEY actually learned how to press the buttons on a phone!). I was told by the office that the movers were on their way.
I didn't pay much attention. I went ahead and loaded up my van with a few boxes and made my second trip over to the new place. About 8:30PM (yes, 11 1/2 hours from the original scheduled time), one of them called me saying "we are at Clairmont and on our way now. Do you have stairs that we are going to have to climb?" Clairmont is about 45 minutes away and I should trust them if they are asking about stairs while carrying my things?!?!
Obviously, this was my first time attempting to use movers. I learned A LOT. Even though the majority of it should have been common sense in the first place (why is my face turning red again?!).
I am NEVER moving again (ever heard that one before?). read more
