OPERATING ILLEGALLY! NO INSURANCE, NO TRANSIT LICENSE, NO BUSINESS LICENSE, REVOKED! STAY AWAY!!!…read more EXTORTION. NEGLIGENCE. FRAUD. THEFT.
I'm sharing my personal nightmare experience with Mindful Movers and Christopher "Levi" Miller. He held my belongings hostage, demanded DOUBLE the agreed price, and caused over $10,000 in property damage. I'm a repeat customer and respected professional. What happened was unconscionable.
The Timeline:
- On Aug 27, Levi quoted $2,089.89 for 3 movers, 2 stops, shrink wrap, and dollies.
- On Aug 30, I paid $1,000 via Zelle.
- Over the next weeks, I had to chase him down for updates, receipts, and revised docs. Very unprofessional.
The move was set for Sat, Sept 27, 2025. Levi said the team would arrive by 8:00am. They showed up almost an hour late with no shrink wrap or dollies -- both listed in our contract. Levi left the site to buy supplies on my time!
His crew: Isaiah was excellent. Axel and Matthew were not. Constantly on their phones, disengaged, and careless.
At 11:36am, Levi asked me to buy the crew lunch. I spent $97 -- not my responsibility, yet I did it.
The team dragged the job out, carrying things one at a time, which ate up time and increased cost. At 2:15pm, I told Levi we had to leave for LA -- my storage unit closed at 6:00pm. He yelled at me, then left the job site.
They arrived late at the storage unit (6:05pm). I was fortunate the manager let us unload. We then went to my apartment, but the crew missed the entrance AGAIN, causing more delay. We arrived at 7:12pm.
I showed them the unit. The security manager gave us until 9:00pm to finish -- or 10:00pm if quiet.
Then the extortion began.
At 7:35pm, Levi sent a message demanding $4,139.99 upfront -- double the original quote -- and told the crew to stop working until I paid. He would only accept Zelle or CashApp. My Zelle wasn't working. He refused Venmo, credit cards, or any other form of payment.
My sister and son scrambled to help. They split the total to pay $3,000. Turns out, both payments went through, and Levi pocketed an EXTRA $3,000 -- totaling $7,139.99. He has not returned the money.
Only then did the crew resume... if you can call it that. They dumped everything randomly, refused to reassemble furniture, and my entire family -- including my 87-year-old father -- had to help unload.
My studio desk ($700), sectional couch ($1,000), coffee table ($600), VIBE Board ($4,000), mattress ($1,300), and dresser ($1,000) were all damaged. Scratches, cracks, dents, missing parts -- over $10,000 in damages.
After getting paid, the crew stopped caring entirely. Axel threw boxes from the truck. Axel and Matthew dragged furniture and made a game out of the move. They were loud, rude, and disrespectful.
This behavior comes from leadership. Levi is manipulative, greedy, and dishonest. He abandoned the job, extorted me, and made my family clean up his mess.
I hired Mindful Movers again because of prior good experiences -- but Levi was never directly involved before. Once he was, everything changed.
If this saves even one person from trusting Levi and going through what I went through, it's worth it.
Do NOT hire Mindful Movers.
Do NOT trust Christopher Levi Miller.
He has no integrity whatsoever. You've been warned.
