This is a complete HORROR story. The kind you read about.
My story started, early in the morning, I looked around for Moving company for that day, short notice, yes, but if they had availability, I figured it would work. I'm huge on reading reviews. I should've read the last one. But I didn't. I was kind of in a rush. She asked me the typical questions, how much furniture, which I only had three large pieces, one was a sectional one was a mirror and one was an entryway table. Everything else was already in large container boxes probably about 30 we went over everything. She asked me how much I had. I said I don't have a lot of furniture but I have a lot of container boxes and she acted as if she knew what I meant. She asked me what size my storage was and I said it was a 10 x 20 so that kind of explains it. It's a pretty good amount of stuff. Just not a lot of furniture. The destination for the drop off was less than 5 miles. She quoted me at first 165 an hour and I explained to her prior to having everything shipped into the storage unit. I was getting quotes at 145 and she was the first quote so I hadn't even started yet she said she would match that which I was very happy about. I asked her if they were insured she said yes and that was good , so it looked legit to me.
So you can imagine my surprise when the drivers came with my things, and demanded an extra $150. Been exactly 2 hours. We let them know we already paid 290 because it was a very quick job. It was in a storage unit , and it was just going to be entered into a garage.
Now for one the guys were almost an hour late. we were looking at a time between 12 and 3 PM, they didn't get here till after four. They come with the truck they would have to take two trips. Way Too small, Mind you I'm paying by the hour. it didn't even have a lift. It was the kind that you walk on. The kind that you rent from Home Depot. I did tell her I had a 10 x 20 unit. So when my ex-husband said the guys came me the whole story on the track. I was livid. But mostly exhausted. As we all know moving can be very exhausting. The least you want to worry about is your items I have a son who's handicap and I needed what was in the truck items.
I called the Kera outraged, not about the money, but about the fact that she brought a truck that was too small. She understood or at least she pretended she understood what I was requesting. Prior to this incident she was very nice... but boy she did a full 360 like you would not believe, she kept telling me, I said I didn't have that much stuff, it's not what I said I said I didn't have that much furniture. I had a Storage unit which was 10 x 20. That kind of speaks for itself but I did tell her it was many container boxes. she literally hung up on me twice and told me she was going to keep my things.
When the truck came to my house house they said that we owe them A additional $155 dollars or I would not get my things mind you already paid 290 on my debit card so they had that that's what I had agreed on. They wanted 155 additional well, my ex-husband was pleading for our things you can hear that horrific girl, Kera in the background Saying to the men "just leave." Knowing we had important things in there completely unimaginable. So the guys are going to just leave and take our stuff.
This is like out of a movie. I could not make this up. but my ex-husband begged and pleaded because we have a handicap child. When I found out he gave them cash. I asked him did he get a receipt and he said no they didn't offer him one and he was so desperate to get the stuff that he just let them go.
So at this point it would've been their word against ours.
THE GOOD NEWS!!! That morning we had cameras installed by the garage and the front door. It shows the transaction of my husband giving the driver a additional $155. There's the receipt. I will keep you all posted on a part two because, I'm taking this to court.
I'm suing for the stress, the danger they put in my child in. And we need to stop these people from taking advantage. I have it all on camera. read more
