I am mindblown at the unprofessionalism by this company and really regret using them. I used them to move me out of my old lease 2-3 weeks ago, to put my things into storage for me, to then move my stuff into my new apartment. I pay my hard earned money because I am a single, young female who lives alone and is willing to pay the money required for a great, professional moving company. As for my experience, It was the complete opposite of anything worth paying for. Here are several reasons why:
1. My movers were supposed to show up on the 13th of December to start packing my things away from the hours of 8AM-10AM. What time did they show? 4:30PM... And I had to be the one to contact them at noon to see where they were.
2. When they showed up, the guy who was moving my couch was literally sliding it on its side across my floor.. my brand new couch. He was the only guy moving it. No, just no..
3. Not only were they late to pick up my stuff, they literally couldn't even fit all my stuff on the truck?! Why am I paying a moving company to move all my stuff if they don't even have a truck big enough to move all of it. I didn't pay them a ridiculous $1,300 for me to also have to shove a bunch of my stuff into my car to make 3 trips to and from Plano to Downtown. (Note: They showed up with a much bigger truck to my drop off location that would have fit all my things when packing my stuff from the old location. This was completely unnerving).
4. When they arrived to my new place, (which again an 8AM-10AM time window) they didn't show up until 12:30PM! And I once again had to call to see where they were. If that's when you start "packing the truck" you need to specify this to your customers because it's very misleading when you don't arrive with the timeframe you say that you will arrive. Its holiday season for me and everyone else, and I had a job I needed to get to, but I was made late because of their lack of timeliness.
5. Not only were they late again, they were arriving with most of my boxes very squished and some with punctures, but also WITH OTHER PEOPLES STUFF TOO. I don't understand or know how this could have happened but they brought another persons whole table, as well as their box spring.. to extend that thought, they also left some important things of mine at their warehouse or wherever they're storing peoples things. So now I'm out of my belongings and no one from DTown has called me to bring it to me or make the effort.
6. Along with the squished and punctured boxes, I found several glasses that were shattered and broken. If you know what a Reidel glass is, you know that those are $60 for a pack of 2 glasses. Mine are now broken and unusable along with a few others.
7. When the guys were getting some of my last few things, I was feeling extremely rushed. Almost like I was an inconvenience. I do understand that they were trying to hurry so I wouldn't get charged for another hour, but had they shown up on time and not late, I may not have felt like I was being rushed to finish.
I completely understand the cost for storage and I'm 100% understanding of this. But when my movers from a year ago (who were not available for me this year and do not have storage options) moved me, they were very professional, timely mannered, took great care of my items and only charged $450-$500. This makes you start to question the integrity of the other company (DTown), esp. with my current experience.
Roughly $1,300 later, I am feeling completely ripped off and for all the reasons I've listed above, and for all the photos I have attached.. I'd be willing to take this review down or even update it if I was compensated accordingly. Otherwise, I would not recommend. At all. read more
