Let me start with this. Movers were nice guys, showed up when they were supposed to show up. They were cordial and respectful.
Now on the other hand, 3 Pink movers moved my 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 740 sq ft apt, 4th floor with elevator from Chandler to N. Scottsdale apt, 4th floor elevator for $1,000. Yes, you heard me! 1 grand! 1 couch by stairs. I will attach pics of the items moved. The commute from Chandler and off the 101 and Chandler blvd to N Scottsdale Frank Lloyd Wright took them 45 mins mid morning no traffic. I drove the speed limit and got there in 20 mins. I asked if they needed to follow me, driver said no go ahead. I'm going to take it slow, but we will be right behind you. Then driver called me when they arrived asking if my unit was 4141. As they were looking for the wrong unit when arrived. Documented incorrectly by the operator who did my quote.
The start time was actually 8:40 but documented as 8:30. I called my daughter in the hallway at 8:24 to let her know the movers arrived. This was before they entered my place. They couldn't have started at 8:30. And because they "finished" at 12:36, I was charged an extra $93 for 6 mins of "extra work".
Now one guy put my entire bed back together, instead of moving things. Did I ask for that no. Did I appreciate that yes, did I think it would cost me $93 extra dollars because my move was 6 mins longer? He also spent most of his time wrapping things that were not necessary. Even if I said don't do it, it was done. Then I paid for shrink wrap.
Then the lady who quoted me said they preferred Zelle. But didn't mention that they only take Zelle from certain banks. Therefore, I paid by credit card with a 5% credit card fee.
I typically rent a truck and hire moving help from Uhaul app. I'll go back to that.
Shrink wrapping fees, tape fees...
I have moved so many times, I have it pretty well organized when movers arrive. Lots of storages bins stacked and ready to go. I will never do this again, thanks for the lesson learned.
Again movers were nice but should that have been a 2+ hour pick up and 1 1/2 hr drop for 3 people? Finally the initial call from the movers this morning made me nervous. I was asked if anyone would be with me to help me move my personal things. What??? I'm a woman alone hiring help to move. That question made feel unsafe and as if someone wanted to know if anyone would be around to help keep tabs on the move progress. One person can't be in the apt and at the truck to ensure work is done the entire time. Thanks Pink, I'll take Uhaul and moving help for $400 Alex! Here are pictures of how things were packed. Except the bed. It was not assembled when they showed up at my place to move.
IN RESPONSE TO LINDA: Several times here I said they guys were nice and did a great job. Great job, didn't break anything, Great job, didn't show up hung over. Conveniently you are ignoring the points I made here, slow drive to Scottsdale, slow move and ridiculously expensive move for what I had. Delay by not calling me on arrival about a wrong apt # on paperwork. Delayed by 6 mins cost $93. One guy in the apt the entire time wrapping, setting up my bedroom not moving things turned into a $1000 move. Say what you want I meant what I said and will never recommend this service. $1000 is ridiculous for what I have to
move from Chandler to Scottsdale! Both locations right off the highway.
To any customer, make sure you are more than one person if you're moving. One to watch inside and out. 2 1/2 hours to load the items pictured is crazy. read more
