So, before anybody thinks that I am just one of those people that had a one-time bad experience...I…read moream writing this after not one, but two collosol failures on the part of Greg. The first would be moving day. As most of you know, moving day is one of the most stressful things anybody can go through, while managing children and a full-time career - but nonetheless, it oftentimes must be done. Greg and his team were supposed to show up at 1pm for a move which I had scheduled a few days prior. The day of the move, I receive a text from him at 12:30pm which says, 'Running late. Be there at 1:30." No problem. I understand things happen. That's life. Well, here is the conversation that transpired (verbatim) over text message for the next 5 HOURS! HIM: 2:24pm (this is 2 hours after he said he would be there by 1:30pm): Sorry. Stuck in traffic down in LA. I can be there in 30 minutes. ME: Ok. We will be waiting. If it is any later, just let us know. HIM: GPS says 28 minutes. ME: Ok. No problem. (an hour passes at this point). ME (3:38pm) Just curious on your arrival time. If is gonna be another hour or more we will drop a load off at our new place. To which I receive a picture of a flat tire and this text: HIM: Flat tire. Gotta send a different truck from ventura. I'm beyond overwhelmed. Everything that can go wrong has today. I can have a crew there at whatever time is possible. **My first question is...at what point in time did the flat tire happen? Was it EXACTLY when I texted him? Again, my favorite part of correspondence is the lack of concern for his customer. It is always about him. This is a theme. Does he have any idea how overwhelmed WE might be...moving and needing to leave our current residence with a mover who is now 2 hours late and sunlight quickly fading? My response: ASAP is best. We are under a tight deadline to get moved. How soon can they be there. HIM: 45 minutes ME: Ok. We are counting on that. Please let me know immediately if there is another delay. 1 hour later. ME: Nobody has arrived and we are in a really bad situation. Where are they now? Are they close by? HIM: They are on their way. ME: Where are they? HIM: 25 minutes away. ARE YOU SERIOUS!??!?!??!?!? First he said 45 minutes. Then an hour later it is another 25 minutes. Ok. So at this point I am about to scream. It is close to 5pm. I am beyond irritated. My husband urges me to go to the new place and begin unpacking and that he'll wait for the movers. Finally, they arrive at 5:25 and the move goes smoothly. Greg is not there...but two other movers...whose story is vastly different than Greg's as to why they are late. In fact, it seems that there was no move happening prior in the day at all, but that they were simply waiting on a truck and for another mover. Regardless, my stupid, idiotic, bleeding heart - decides to give Greg another shot the following week to move our spa. Mind you, this after he fails to apologize for any of this or follow up via text to see how the move go. These are BASICS of customer service. If you screw up...you acknowledge and apologize. But, I'm an idiot...and this guy had a new business and I wanted to give him a shot. Well, to save you the melodrama of booking through Greg...I'll tell you this. We arrange to have a spa moved at 8am and at 8:30am he isn't there. At this point I text him, asking where he is. 15 minutes later he responds. "We said 9am." To which I take a screenshot of our text conversation in which I told him 8am and he said, "Perfect." He then tells me he had a hard move the day before. Yadda yadda. Nothing but excuses. I did hire a PHENOMENAL company in Temecula...Plan B Spa Movers...and I highly recommend them to everybody. On time. Excellent communication and customer service. HOW A BUSINESS SHOULD BE RUN. My advice to Greg...there are always going to be days when things happen and shit hits the fan...but my advice is...ALWAYS BE HONEST. If he had known on that first moving day he was doing to be almost 5 hours late...it would have been SO HELPFUL to have known that right away...so I could be productive with my day as opposed to waiting for texts from him claiming he'll be there in 25 minutes, 45 minutes, 25 more minutes. Seriously. A waste of time and money. Would not recommend to anybody.

I cannot warn strongly enough against relying on Haze. No show. No call. No apology…read more I booked Haze to pick-up and load my UBox containers for an interstate move. The morning of my move, I was told no crew was available. I had flown cross-country solo, and without other options, I agreed to reschedule for the following day, including booking an additional night of hotel and paying increased airfare. Haze confirmed they would be there... The following day, after the first last-minute cancellation, they were unresponsive to multiple texts and calls over a multi-hour period, both from me and from agents at Uhaul. They did not show. They did not respond. They cost me hundreds of dollars in increased moving fees and travel overages, and have still been completely unresponsive. Buyer beware...

I had asked them if they were available the next day for junk removal at the old property (short notice, I know), and even though they were unable to make the accommodations, they got me an amazing rate with a company they work closely with!

This was a "half-move" -- we were moving from our temporary residence back into our home after a renovation, so we only had about a 15' U-Haul worth of stuff. This was just about perfect for Man with a Van. But the best part was the employees (I wish I had asked their names, but moving day left me scatterbrained) -- they were efficient, attentive, really went the extra effort in getting our stuff safely into our house, quickly disassembling a few pieces that were now too large to fit into our new doors (I got them out, and never thought there'd be such trouble getting them back in). I'd say combine that great service with the competitive pricing, and this is the company for your move assist/small move/hauling project. Just really great guys who, in my mind, made some magic happen on a really stressful day.

Alfredo is smart, resourceful, flexible, reliable, and he and his colleague tackled the work professionally and efficiently. The gentlemen both wearing their masks throughout the move was impressive. We just finished our first day of driving a 15 ft box-truck to Texas which Alfredo loaded and secured; nothing shifted across 200miles! I got the feeling that no matter what we might need done, Alfredo would have had a solution, or have called someone who could help. Whether you ultimately work with Alfredo or not, I'd definitely at least take a bid from him on whatever you need getting done. I'm confident that he'll soon be in touch.
