No one likes to move. Its tedious, time consuming, and stressful. People hire movers to facilitate this process. Not worsen it. If you value your items, time, money, and sanity, turn back now. Just go to http://uhaul.com, then pull up at home depot and grab a few guys. You will be better off for far less money. This company is horrible.
I meticulously planned my day by the hour. I was required to have the previous apartment keys turned in by 5 PM. Very little room for error. I needed to be moved out, and cleaned by the end of the business day. I spoke with the owner Mase on Wednesday. I asked if they could start at 9. He informed me that they do not start moves until 10 am. We agreed on that time. He was made aware of my time situation. I moved 2.1 miles from my previous 2 bedroom apartment.
1. 10 am comes. Nothing.. Mase then texts me at 10:30 that he cannot find a truck??!!! That is correct. They do not even have a company truck! Literally, the only equipment they have is a flat dolly and wrapping tape. So not only do that not have a truck, he didn't even have the foresight to make a reservation at uhaul for my move. In June. On a Saturday. This also means they do not have the equipment to move your fragile items. Luckily I still had the box to my OLED TV.
I call the person who referred these "movers" to me..He and his wife are calling/driving around for hours trying to find a truck. He never even found one himself. Then another person from my job goes to pick it up. Its the smallest box truck uhaul has. One of movers has the nerve to complain that it isn't big enough. M-Town Movers finally arrive at 2:30 PM with NO TRUCK. The cleaners that I paid by the hour arrived at their correct time, 1 p.m. and could not do their job.
2. They moved my stuff in an unattended hallway to "prep" for the truck's arrival. Anyone could have walked by and swiped something.
3. They are extremely inefficient. The first load was on the truck AFTER 5 p.m. My leasing office felt bad for me and allowed me to turn in my keys on Monday morning...For a pro-rated fee of course. I have moved from a 4600 sq ft house in less than 4 hours.
4. I never seen the owner again after the we arrived at my new apartment to unload the first time. This was around 5:30. I asked his employees where he was and they said they didn't know.
5. I directed the 2 movers to where I would like my items. I had to leave and go to work for a couple hours. They just threw everything in a pile in my living room. I could barely walk into my apartment. I had to have some friends come over and help move my larger items to the correct rooms. They put my dresser in the correct room when I was there..When I left they just threw the matching nightstands in the living room. They knew where they were supposed to go.
6. They broke my desk and my dining table.
7. I return to my old apartment the next day. I asked the movers to throw out my old couches. Of course they didn't do that. "Luckily" I had to hire the cleaners again b/c they didn't finish moving my stuff until after 10 pm. They helped me drag them to the dumpster.
8. They didn't touch 2 of my closets. They literally left my neatly wrapped up clothes. The door to one of the closets was wide open.
9. They left my ottoman in the public hallway. They also left the hallway outside of my door a mess.
10. After all of the above he still has the nerve to bill for $1000. For a 2 bedroom apartment. 2 miles down the street. I moved for a 4600 sq ft house for half of that. This is also higher than any of the other companies quoted.
11. When I complained to a mutual acquaintance about my experience, he says: "She has a lot of stuff." Excuse me? What? That is your damn job. He then drops my keys off at my job without even talking to me at all.
This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. M-Town Movers made an already stressful situation worse. They cost me a lot of money outside of their horrible unprofessional service. STAY AWAY! read more
