I scheduled my appointment online by selecting a date and time. There no menus or pull down lists to choose which might specify what you want hauled away or how much you have....just date and time. Using the websites "junk calculator" I had anticipated a full truck load. The website did say, "agree to the price we offer, and we will haul it away right then and there..." or something to that effect.
When the team arrived, both great guys by the way, I showed the large, large pile of yard waste I wanted hauled off to the team leader, CT. My appointment was on a Thursday, I took off work, and I needed the pile gone by Saturday for a social gathering at my new home. When CT saw the huge pile, he was very gracious when he told me that there was no way they would be able to haul that away on that day. They would have needed advanced knowledge of how much there was and needed more than 1 truck. He said they would be able to get it done on Monday.
I explained that that would not work for me and told him the situation. I also mentioned that there was no place on the website when scheduling an appointment to let them know how much junk you think you have, if there were, I could have given that information and the team could have made arrangements. At this point in the negotiation process, I was NOT thrilled with where this was going, but CT being the gentleman that he is, suggested that the team could make a special trip back out to Wake Forest the next day and have it gone for Saturday and I wouldn't have to be at the house.
I have to tell you this was the greatest act of customer service I have seen in a great while. They hauled away what they could fit in their truck that day, and did in-fact return the next day. As it turned out, however, the pile of yard waste wasn't large after all, it was GIGANTIC and incorporated a much larger area than either me or CT had imagined or seen. CT said that it would take many, many, many more loads with their size truck to handle it all.
The 1 truck that they did haul away did make a very sizable "dent" in the GIGANTIC waste pile. I was very, very pleased, thank you CT and team. Although, now I am kicking myself for not offering up a token of my appreciation to both guys.
Great job guys....I will most definitely be using the Junk Patrol again and again! read more
