Wow. Where do I start ? We called Maximus Moving on Monday afternoon looking for a move the next day and Joseph answered the phone. He had remembered the prior phone call we had made to him so he seemed more than willing to move our items. When we spoke to him a few weeks prior, he had told us certain travel fees that were set and said that he would honor them. Joseph spoke and said he would honor the rate we had written about. Well that changed at the end of the move. More later.
He came 90 minutes late the next day. He assessed the situation and started to wrap, and load the furniture. During the process of wrapping the furniture and loading it onto his truck, he complained that it's Texas law that he can't work more than eight hours! We had only been five hours in at that point. Jospeh complained throughout the move, said that he was told everything was "packed."
When we spoke to him on Monday we told him most everything was packed. However, being a moving company and knowing we were in the process of moving he did not bring any tape or boxes. When we asked he blamed us for telling him we did not tell him to bring boxes and tape. It clearly showed this was not a reputable moving company at all. It was run by 2 men who probably wait by the phone for a customer to call. He did not have any moving supplies on his truck.
Maximus Moving was A COMPLETE JOKE. Maximus Moving claims to have five star reviews -- are you serious? The way Jospeh ran the business was completely unprofessional on every level.
Next at 2 p.m. Jospeh told us that he wanted to go home and complained so much that he went directly into his truck and sat there! What? He told us it was against TEXAS law to work over 8 hours... well it only had been 4.5 hrs, he said he wanted to come back the next day.
How is this possible after Maximus Moving loaded all of our furniture and items onto the truck and now wants to leave? He argued tried to be slimy and we ended up trying our best to tell him the next day would not work. We asked him why he did not communicate this earlier or even the day before? Who in the their right mind would let a mover leave with their furniture and boxes? We are supposed to trust him after he threw a fit he started to hurry along leaving a lot of our items behind, unwrapped and threw things into the truck.
This was such a disappointment because we still had to get to our next destination.
Completely unprofessional.
He did not abide by what he said he would do, which is load and unload the same day. Joseph at Maximus Moving was the worst to deal with. He blamed everything on us. Entire move was a MESS.
After he and his friend got along the way we both stopped at the gas station. He came to our car and said very rudely " you can stop following me and go on your own way." He speaks like he is on drugs and acts bizarre.
When they got to the final destination he started to unload and had boxes that were wet and dripping with liquid that he continue to move regardless. His behavior was of someone who did not care. The concern he had was 0%.
He was unhappy the entire time.
When the entire move was completed he asked for his money. We paid him in cash and gave him an extra $200. Jospeh started to argue with us about the travel fee. Something he said he would honor when we told him he had mentioned it was $400 a few weeks ago. Immediately he starts to get upset , grabbing a calculator he says it was $645.00
Completely did not honor his word. He got paid and left.
The next day he started to text us asking for an additional $154.13 for a box and 7 wraps he left with us. When we didn't respond he started to text us personal information and details he obtained and started to threaten us for $154.13. Told us he was getting an attorney for $154.13 when he was PAID $1900 CASH with additional $200!!! Wow. This guy started to go after us with personal info he thought would scare us. We paid him in full and told him he damaged almost $600 worth of stuff. Not to mention all the stuff he brought unwrapped, wet boxes and boxes he did not packaged properly. Joe aka Joseph with Maximus Moving is the worst moving company. Do not use them. Highly AVOID! Beware of the scammer tactics they use! Completely unprofessional and the worst communication you will ever encounter in your life. Avoid at all costs. read more
