tl;dr - the guys that showed up were awesome, professional, courteous, and quick. They charged more than was advertised and when I got a call from the boss lady to explain why, it devolved into her yelling at me and threatening to dump the trash back in my yard. If you get an accurate quote up front and have no reason to ever speak to this person, I'd recommend them since everyone else was super pleasant. May God have mercy on your soul if you need anything "customer service" related.
Hokay, so...
Just had these guys come out to pick up a mattress. Website says minimum charge for household items/furniture is $55. Guys show up, are super friendly and nice, take my mattress, throw it in the truck, then bring me a receipt for $75+ tax. I immediately question the price and show them the website pricing list. They, in turn, show me their laminated pricing sheet that shows mattresses are $75.
Well, the job is already done and the mattress is already in the truck so I agree to pay and resign to sending an email asking about the pricing difference. Within 10min of sending that email I get a phone call...so far service has been fast and friendly and, aside from the pricing difference, relatively pleasant.
Enter the lady who called me. Aggressive, rude, accusatory, and at times demeaning. My request was simple: please show me where I missed the mattress specific pricing on the website, if it's there. If not, please consider a refund of the difference between the $75 I was charged and the $55 advertised. Considering the crew did not give an estimate for the job when they arrived (as is their policy), and considering the website clearly advertises a different price, I didn't think this was a ridiculous request. It's only $20 we're talking about here and I had already paid it; I was fully prepared to receive a response along the lines of "I'm sorry the crew didn't follow procedure, this would have told you up front that the cost was $75 and you could have refused service if the fee was too high. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do at this point." However, the woman decided to yell at me over the phone about how prices are based on volume and then said a standard refrigerator would fall into the $55 category but a queen size mattress wouldn't. The volume of a standard refrigerator is 88000in^3 while the volume of a queen size mattress is 58000in^3, tops. So no, that's not how this works. She then began to explain to me how prices aren't "black and white" or set in stone even though they're literally printed in black and white and laminated on pricing sheets. She continued to yell at me that I should have just called to schedule the appointment instead of using the online form and she would have told me over the phone what the price was. Well, if I'm going to get the wrong quote using the online system, maybe fix the online system? Or maybe don't have an online system? She offered to send the crew back to dump the trash back at my place for a refund. I tried to explain that the cost of labor and gas, not to mention the refund she was about to issue would far outweigh the cost of a $20 refund but at this point in the conversation she wasn't really listening to me. I refused this offer and as the call is wrapping up, she threatens to send her crew back to dump the trash on my curb anyway even though I made it clear I didn't want that (no, I don't want the trash back that I just paid you to remove).
Based on the other ratings I'd say normally these guys are great. Today, however, they [she] earned this one star review. read more
