On Side was hired by my insurance company after there was a flood to pack and move my items.
Some items were packed in paper and put into boxes and labeled with the utmost care. Some precious, breakable items were tossed without wrapping into ceramic footstools and broken! it was like 2 different companies were involved. I was later told that they might have been since outsiders were also part of the crew. Many items were not packed properly at all and were ruined (like picture frames). Many items were lost. Some expensive items were zippered into my mattress (how I found them was a miracle).
I know I moved from one unit to another, but the kitchen island should still have exactly the same contents on it regardless of what kitchen it's placed into. Instead, all my beauty care items were put on the kitchen island. Similarly, my art table should have paint and brushes on it, no matter if you can't figure out where to put the actual table. Instead, my enema bucket was put there instead of back on the hook in bathroom door! I know it was a lot, but Simon, the manager said he had it all under control and trusted his team. He said there would be a video to follow to put items back in place; there was NO video and really low quality pictures taken after the stuff w=was already moved from it's original position, rendering the pics useless.
In the 2 weeks+ it took to pack up my stuff, somehow they put my guitar outside on the balcony and left it there for weeks. Which caused the neck to crack. It was a vintage item.
Clothes organized very neatly wer3e taken out of 3 drawers only to be packed with items from entryway closet in a mess plus stuff that wasn't even mine, but belonged to On Side, like ropes, bungee cords, caribiners, etc. Don't ruin perfectly organized drawers with clothes that will still need to be under the bed in new home. Makes no sense.
I have incurred 10,000+ in damages and lost items and the followup to get this compensated has been abominable. I have reached out over 10 times. I am awaiting a call from supervisor Jeremy today. If he sends me 10,000 today, I will change my review to 2 stars.
Major pain in the butt when your home is gone, you're bed bound, stuck at a hotel for 5 months, dealing with lawyers, etc and they can't even get the moving done in a way that has your back.
I have had to pay TaskRabbit organizers over $1,000 to organize all my items from the "before" pics (that unfortunately were taken in the middle of the process) back to the "before".
