RH Delivery damaged household goods on my move from Colorado to California. They damaged or broke multiple picture frames, broke glass on several framed art pieces causing damage or ruin by scratching the underlying art, shattered a glass coffee table, cracked a wood bed castor mounting, cut leather upholstery, broke a statue, all among numerous other dings and damage. This is my seventh interstate move (first with RHD) and there was more damage to my goods than the other six COMBINED.
And it gets worse - after the fact they informed me of their bare-bones insurance coverage, insurance far below that which is required BY LAW for interstate movers. I was assured verbally that Replacement Value insurance coverage was "not a problem". But when I asked for the forms for filing insurance claims, I was told it was "too late" and that 7 days was "common practice" for claims filing with interstate movers. From prior interstate moves, I knew that was not true - legally, the customer has NINE MONTHS to file a claim. It turns out all RH Delivery carries is $25,000 for a catastrophic truck incident and the minimal 60 cents per pound Released Value coverage. And they won't accept a claim after 7 days, ludicrous for a large household move! Both are violations of laws governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (DOT); RH Delivery also has no DOT registration number, as required of interstate movers, and they have no Dispute Resolution Process or Arbitration Process, both required by law.
RH Delivery also committed gross negligence on my move. They were tasked with packing, as needed, and then completely clearing and moving all goods from my Colorado house. The house was rented and I was shocked three weeks after the move to get notice from the landlord that I was being charged to clear items from the house, with pictures attached. Inexplicably, RH Delivery left numerous items behind - 2 Tumi suitcases; an upright vacuum cleaner and a carpet shampooer; clothing items; a portable A/C unit; bath towel sets; and more! Several thousand dollars of my goods that they failed to move. Sitting out, scattered throughout the house - they didn't even bother to walk the house to ensure they cleared it out, as they were hired to do. And they refused to take responsibility! They refused to accept an insurance claim! They even refused to acknowledge their error despite irrefutable photo evidence! An unfathomable lack of responsibility and sheer incompetence.
RH Delivery does not understand the moving business . The day they were to be finished with my loading, at 2 PM I was told they would be pulling out at "4, latest 4:30". I had to leave Colorado the next morning and, at 10 AM, they were STILL loading. They had no clue on something that should be their expertise. RH Delivery delivered some of my goods to 2 storage units in California. They put those units under their own name and assured me it was no issue to get them switched to my name. Not so! They claim to have all of these units with Public Storage, but Public Storage has assured me they NEVER switch the customer names, and the RHD owner did not know that. I cannot use the Public Storage App for those units, I have to go in person to pay, I cannot send or receive messages related to the units, it is an untenable situation. I have requested, then demanded, that RH Delivery move the goods into new units in my name. No surprise, they refused! And they have the audacity to insist that they have fulfilled their obligation in delivering the units to storage, despite the storage being unusable. Packing and delivery were a mess - cables separated from their electronics, shelves separated from bookshelves, critical electronics (modem and router) packed in an unmarked box and buried, requiring purchase of new equipment.
RH Delivery's owner will act like your best friend, full of confidence about getting everything done. Be extremely aware of RH Delivery. If you want to engage them, particularly for an interstate move, check their compliance with laws governing interstate movers on insurance (especially), claims, and dispute resolution. The quality of their moving and packing service was, in my case, quite poor with lots of consequent damage. None of their interstate moving services comply with FMSCA/DOT legal requirements. And my experience, at every turn, is they will refuse to monetarily settle for damage and situations that are 100% of their doing. All this while charging a premium price for their service! Their website boasts of a "100% satisfaction guarantee" which they have ignored. (BTW, the "suite number" on their website is a UPS box and the phone number is the owner's cell phone - they have no office). They take NO responsibility for their work product. I am being forced to deal with time-consuming and difficult measures to try and recover the many thousands of dollars that are owed me as a result of the incompetence and negligence of RH Delivery. read more
