I had a right to get my items back or get fair compensation since I realized it quickly that I was taken advantage of. Will pursue all my options.

Sort of like mini physical history books.... However, if you saw my place you might think I was a minimalist (depending on the day I last feverously cleaned, of course). I don't collect very much, but I like to look.... and unlike many situations I can look AND touch. Woo! Wandering in to LIFEC's space is like going through a giant garage sale in an senior apartment complex basement at the end of the month when everyone moves out. Sure, there's junk but you'll also stumble upon so. many. TREASURES! Do you have an empty bedroom that needs something of interest? They probably have a set of nightstands, or a bench to put your shoes on. Maybe even a swanky vintage dresser from the 40s? Live out your mid century modern dreams, or collect pieces to create your own story. I've wandered in to search for props for parties (maps, globes, vintage luggage for a bridal shower!), to fill the gap in spaces in my own place (unique beer steins are where it's at) and even to get some basics (A set of folding chairs! A must have PRE-COVID). Prices are higher than a garage sale, for sure. I know you CAN haggle with them but I honestly won't. They're a charity/nonprofit. The last time I spoke with the owner I could tell both him and his staff had huge hearts. They honestly care about people and need as much resources (and capital) to bring about the the most change... Stop in. You won't regret it! Even if you don't take any treasures home.

I had been riding around with bags of clothes in hopes of finding some place to donate them. I was…read moreparked in the area waiting for a store to open and looked up and saw this store! I took it as a sign I should inquire within. I asked if they took donations. Yes! they said enthusiastically. The gentleman even offered to help me bring the bags in from my car. The lovely woman Susan, who was sorting other donations was friendly. We began talking and we shared stories about our love of animals. She said they contribute to a couple of local animal rescues in the area. The establishment is small but put together well. Trinkets, clothes, housewares, jewelry and small furniture pieces. The shop is clean and the items are displayed nicely. It has the feel of a cozy boutique experience. I did not have time to browse as I wanted nor take any pictures of the interior. I definitely plan on returning not only to donate but to look for some vintage treasures! This is a wonderful place to patronize if you're an animal lover.

Pros: The selection here is huge, the store is very well organized and is neat and clean…read more Cons: Like every thrift store, it's all hit and miss depending on what you're looking for. While some things were reasonably priced, other items were laughably priced. For example, an average quality small living room arm chair with slightly faded and slightly dirty fabric was $167.00. You can buy a similar arm chair in Bob's brand new and fresh smelling for $199.00 All in all, if you're in the area it's worth visiting since donations come in every week and you never know what you might find.

Aren't they selling, or giving to needy people, used furniture? I asked the driver, "Why?" after he refused the first item (I was just curious...I didn't have an attitude.). He responded, with a bit of an attitude, "Because the driver has the right to refuse any item." Not a good experience at all.

BEWARE ALSO KNOWN AS CONSIDER IT MOVING…read more I booked a pack and move with Michael who came on-site for estimate and I also sent photos afterwards. I got a verbal estimate, text message with pricing. The night before at 7pm I called to confirm as I hadn't gotten any notification. He said the project lead would be calling to confirm, later Markus called and confirmed for the next day between 9-10am. That morning Markus called to asked if everything was packed and ready to go, I explained I was paying for them to pack and move everything, he asked how many boxes he needed, I told him I don't know, I assumed Michael filled him in on the specs of the job to prepare. The team arrived on time close to 9am and began packing, I took my toddler to the new place to stay out of the way. Late afternoon they arrived at the new place, I let them in and went back to old place. I walked in, see a shoebox on my stove, it was a Givenchy shoebox from my bedroom closet. pieces of a broken jar of artichoke hearts along with my authenticity card were in it and on the floor my dish towel laying over remnants of the broken jar and artichokes. I understand things happen but to go all the way to my bedroom, take a designer shoebox to put some of the pieces in didn't make sense, especially since my bagless garbage can was was being used for trash by them all day, Markus had no explanation, anyway they had left the backyard items so I came back and told Markus and he sent 2 guys back to retrieve the items. When I came back to the new place I saw my mattress untaped on one side sitting in the dewy grass with a wet stain on the bottom and a dirt mark on the top. living room rug was not wrapped with anything at all and laying in the grass with dirt foot prints on it same with 2 other rugs. just found this to be disrespectful. I called Michael afterwards to voice my concerns. He kept saying "are you serious right now" dismissing my concerns. I hired them to make the move less stressful, instead created more work for me now had to clean my rugs and mattress and my designer shoebox is now garbage. He said "this isn't a big deal". he was defensive and irritated that I was telling him what I experienced instead of listening to understand what happened. I started to unpack, none of the boxes are labeled. The first had a live plant packed with kitchen items, dirt spilled all over, plant dead. another live plant in with my robes, dirt everywhere plant dead robes to be cleaned. In the next picture frames all tossed in unwrapped box not even sealed no glass had broken but a canvas one was scratched and gashed, ruined. Other items not packed well, a basket of blankets in the livingroom weren't put into a box/ bag they were put in the truck as is and must've fallen over as they arrived the top few unfolded and dirty. My travel bags and purses in a basket in my closet were also not boxed/bagged and the leather bag on top has several scratches now. furniture was mishandled- antique side table had its drawer handle broken off and has a deep scratch on it. velvet arm chair cushion has multiple scratches. buffet console's 2 center support legs are missing, despite asking several times where they put them as I have opened every box no response from anyone at CIM. I go back to the old place to clean up, notice items left behind, 1 full and 2 half cabinets, under sink items, shoes, a light and garage stuff. Markus had called asked how they could make this right. I asked for a partial refund to help me offset the expense of the damaged and missing items. He asked that I email which I did on 1/12, since then I have not heard from Michael or Markus despite my leaving numerous voicemails, texts and emails. I've attached photos I shared with Michael directly. Funny they advertise "if you use inexperienced movers that'll just put more work on you" boy that was totally the truth here, not only did Consider it Moving cost me over $1000 in damaged, broken and missing items but also cost me hours of my time in trying to clean, repair and replace the affected items. No, I would not recommend this company. Update 2/6 just realized my brand new computer monitor I had still in the packaging waiting to set up when I moved that was property of my employer is missing... more money I now need to lay out. I messaged Michael, of course no response and also left another voicemail for Markus. Overall I feel as though they took advantage of me as a single vulnerable mother, truly despicable.

Also known as Consider It Moving. BEWARE!!!…read more Hired this company to move our belongs from our home into a POD unit so we could have our floors redone. Three guys showed up for the move, all in their personal vehicles, none wearing any sort of company uniform/shirts, and one of them reeking of weed (I say this as I question if he was too high to be moving my heavy, antique furniture). The three of them spent no less than 45 minutes trying to figure out how to get the fridge out the door. My contractor and I urged them to take the doors off - something I've seen other movers do many times. They didn't bring any tools with them so had to borrow a socket wrench and still couldn't figure out how to get them off. So they proceeded to shove it through the front door and completely ruin one of the door panels. We raised the issue to the owner immediately and we were assured we were going to be taken care of. They also laid an antique armoire on its side in the POD, which resulted in it getting cracked. Stupidly, we hired them to unload the POD as we were afraid they would try to dispute the damages if another company was used. The same crew shows up, again without any tools or dolly/hand truck. My beautiful floors, that were the whole reason we moved our stuff out, took a beating. I made the movers step out of my house mid-move as I had had enough. As I was on the phone with the owner trying to decide if we should continue, he tells me that they'll only be able to give us $100 for the damage to the fridge. They assured us during the first move that they had insurance but now when we've asked for that information, they refuse to provide it. They also had the nerve to walk back into my house and ask for $400 for their 38 minutes of work in which they caused over $1,000 in damages. They are now screening our calls and only answer when we call from a new number. Avoid this place at all costs! Something is fishy about their Google reviews...
