I had previously used Michael's Movers back in 2020 and had a positive experience. However, this time around the experience was very different. I was sent a crew of three individuals. One individual was an adult male named Hector, the other two looked like teenagers and between the two, one was a young ~18 year old female. While I was leading them to the unit, the men were walking behind me. I heard them talking in Spanish and speaking about a woman in a degrading way, making sexual comments. They did not realize I speak and understand Spanish. I am not sure if they were talking about me or someone else but as a woman, I felt extremely uncomfortable in that moment. I made the horrible mistake of ignoring the comments and led them to the unit. The man Hector started with the couches but made the mistake of setting my couch upside down on the hallway tile FLOOR in front of the elevator while it was UNWRAPPED. I told him "could you please wrap the furniture?". He proceeds to ignore me and continues going about his job. I repeat it a few more times and then finally say "are you listening to me?" in both Spanish and English. He says "I don't need you to tell me how to do my job. You could've said it nicely." At this point, my couches are still in front of the elevator unwrapped on the DIRTY FLOOR and another piece of it is inside a box in the elevator, unwrapped. They were leaving my things completely unattended inside the elevator. Also boxes that were not yet taped shut with valuables, were left unattended inside the elevator while people were using it. My brother in law also asked Hector to wrap the furniture and Hector proceeded to say that "he knows what he is doing" but was not wrapping the couches or responding to our requests. At this point, I was worried a verbal or violent altercation would start with me or my family as Hector's face was red and he looked visibly angry. I called the owner to complain about the entire situation and told him his employee was showing hostile behavior for simply asking him to do his job. I asked him to either send me someone else or give me a discount. In addition, I let him know that the employee was playing loud music from his phone while doing his job and did not take criticism well. The teenage boy was also taking personal calls while on duty and moved extremely slow. The owner gives me a call back after talking to Hector and blames the situation on me saying I was aggressive and to let him "do his job". His employee lied and completely changed the narrative and his boss believed him. At this point, I am LIVID. If I see my furniture on the dirty floor, unwrapped and my valuables unattended in an elevator, I WILL SPEAK UP as I paid a lot of money for this SERVICE. The movers did not even complete their job. They left after 3 hours and did not set up my bed or couch, did not take off wrapping from the mirrors, and did not take 5 boxes as they did not finish. It should not have taken that long to move someone from a one bedroom apartment to another complex within walking distance. They didn't even use the moving truck and were still unable to finish the job. The boys are also thieves who charged me $45 for having to use the stairs when the image below states the 3rd floor is actually only $35. They moved really slow and after the incident, it honestly seemed like they moved even slower on purpose. The young girl, Alejandra, was actually the most respectful out of all of them but the other two boys made me feel uncomfortable from their sexual inappropriate comments to their hostile behavior when presented with criticism. If you're a young female, I would not recommend having Hector as your mover. I did not get the other teenage boy's name but please do not book these services. The experience was horrible and made an already stressful situation even worse. I worried for my safety after seeing how hostile and aggressive Hector reacted to wrapping my furniture, a simple request for a service I am PAYING for. In the past, Michaels Movers completed the entire move from start to finish in 3.5 hours even with having to drive a 30 minute distance. This past experience was honestly alarming and leads me to believe background checks are not being done on these individuals. Also, that they are just looking to hire cheap labor hence the teenage kids including a young barely 18 year old female. read more
