I'm really frustrated with Cardinal Movers today, and I feel compelled to share my experience. They…read morecouldn't even get my couch out of the apartment at all, which is heartbreaking since I bought it less than a year ago for $1,000. Now, it's damaged, with torn fabric exposing the wood frame, and dirt marks all over it, yet it's still stuck in my old apartment. I'm devastated.
Not only did they break my lamp, but they also tried to hide it. When I asked one of the movers if it was broken, he awkwardly held the two parts together as if it was still fine and just said, "Ugh, I don't know." I pointed out that it was clearly broken, and it was only damaged because they were carelessly throwing my stuff from the first floor to the second.
They also lost the shelf brackets for my glass cabinet. I explicitly told them when they started moving it that the brackets would fall out. They took them out and now they're MIA. While I was told they'd buy new ones for me, I've since learned they're out of stock. It's just frustrating that they didn't take better care of my belongings.
Despite clearly instructing them on where to place my furniture in my new place, they dumped everything in the living room. At one point, they even tried to push my TV up over their heads to the second floor, but thankfully one of the movers realized that wasn't safe and had them walk it up instead.
I had an issue with one of the movers, but when I brought it up to the Assistant GM, he dismissed my concerns, insisting that the mover was an "upstanding" employee. I told him that wasn't my experience at all. The mover had been visibly annoyed the entire time, telling me it's stressful for me but even more stressful for them. I don't care--it's your job to handle this professionally!
What upset me the most was the rude and passive-aggressive attitude I encountered throughout the process. I definitely won't be using their services again.
I feel like my concerns were completely disregarded. When I asked for a receipt, one of the movers simply said, "I don't know," and shut the door in my face. He even snatched my debit card from my hand, and when I pointed it out, he dismissed my feelings by saying it was "pathetic" that I thought he snatched it. My partner witnessed the whole thing, and we were both taken aback by the lack of professionalism.
I'm really upset about how I was treated today. I deserve better service, and so does everyone else.
