I went to ezriel's company (Simcha's Moving) because I thought it would be good to have a Jewish-owned company do my move.
Wow, was I wrong.
Three guys from urban downtown Baltimore showed up in a rental truck with out-of-area plates. They were smoking mini-cigars and I heard the first "mother-f--" before they were out of the truck. They played rap music with similar offensive lyrics in my home.
If that wasn't enough, they damaged every piece of furniture I own! Gouges taken out of my wooden furniture, and they ripped the fabric covering other furniture. They slid my expensive wooden furniture across the floor of the truck and the lift-gate. They had 2 piles of furniture pads that they didn't use. I had specifically called ezriel the day before the move to have them bring enough pads to wrap my expensive furniture--but they didn't use a single pad even though they had them.
After I told ezriel of the damage to all of my furniture and outright destruction of a couple pieces (had to throw away), he knocked a few percent off the bill. He apologized sincerely and I felt bad for him and didn't pursue it further.
But you should be aware that the guys ezriel hires from urban Baltimore, when unsupervised, might not be the people you want in your home and moving your precious items. read more
