UPDATE that we've been calling and leaving messages and trying to speak to someone at the company for two days in a row and no one will call us back or tell us the status of our things. We will be filing a complaint with the BBB.
This is maybe the most incompetent moving company I've worked with, and we've had some awful experiences so that's saying a lot.
We moved from El Paso to Seattle and booked with this company despite crappy reviews all over the internet because we were impressed with the woman who came to our house and did the estimate. We were told they would try to find a driver to pick up our stuff that day so it would not be transferred from a warehouse such that we would risk losing things. Alas, the day of they did not come with the actual truck. So that was the first misleading promise. Fine. The guys who loaded our stuff were very nice and they did a great job.
Fast forward two weeks. Our stuff was supposed to arrive today. Except early this week we find out the driver did not even pick up our stuff as intended--it's still in El Paso. Then we found out it would be picked up today (the Friday that was the latest original delivery date) by a new driver and delivered by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Then we get a call this morning that, actually, the driver bailed and our stuff won't even be loaded onto a truck in El Paso until next Friday. So now we are looking at a delivery date well into early August, IF of course they actually follow through with the driver they say they have now. And get this--the driver apparently never said he could do it today, he said next week, and whoever was trying to coordinate got the date wrong.
I don't understand how a company whose job it is to move people's things can fail so terribly at having employees ready to do the actual moving of people's things. Your job is to move stuff. So you pay people to do that at the time you said you would.
Apparently the company says they pay $100 a day for each day they are late, which is pennies when the move itself is over $12,000. They say we signed a contract. We were told, however, that this basically never happens. We are still being told this doesn't happen but of course based on the other reviews that was a lie too.
I'm about to call the corporate office and complain, though I imagine it won't matter. This company is incompetent. Don't book with them. Find a company that actually has drivers and knows how to actually run a moving swrbk read more
