These are my initial observations. The move has not been been done yet. My first conversation was by phone with appararently a SALES AGENT. I was quoted a little over $3,000.00 for a move from Melbourne Florida to Glen Burnie MD.
Since it was based on a quick observation, I decided to be dilligent, and to provide a video walk through in order to get a more accurate quote. This consisted of 12 area videos with voiceover describing every article of furniture with information regarding what to expect in the way of boxes from that area. I was then quoted close to $9,000.00. This amount seemed reasonable based on the more accurate inventory.
Today, we were called by their QUALITY CONTROL AGENT. At this time we went through a detailed inventory which we had taken an enoumous amount of time to create, wrapping things and filling boxes. Despite the fact that RE were sent detailed videos of our inventory. This conversation resulted in an increased moving cost of $15.253.62. The explanation we were informed was as follows: I have never spoken to you before. You have only spoken thus far to a SALES AGENT.
We received this information just 3 days before the move, so as a consequence we were given no alternative but to agree with the new price and the demand for an additional $5,000.00 up front
Bottom line, which I will make sure everyone is made aware of.
When dealing with Relocation Express you will be dealing with a SALES AGENT who will real you in with a lowball price. Then 3 days before your move when you are trapped. You will be called by a QUALITY CONTROL AGENT who will inform you that you move will cost almost 5 times as much as your first quote, 2 times as much as your second quote.
BUYER BEWARE and make sure you have an additional 5k to 10k on hand to pay for the new price upfront payment. read more
