Worst move of my life! I told Frank up front that I would need help packing. Each time he showed up, he never brought enough materials with him. And he kept cutting the amount of work he did on any given day because he had run out of packing material. It took him 5 weeks! He cancelled my extra container without discussing with me then when down to the last day, left me with so much stuff, my neighbors had to help me move a heavy dining table and my heavy iron patio furniture and barbeque, garden hoses etc to their houses. He was supposed to pack the kitchen but on the last day before I had to turn over the keys, I found whole cabinets he hadn't packed. He yelled and screamed at me that "I" hadn't done enough myself! He destroyed my furniture with large gashes in my wood dining console, my white leather office chair was shredded in 3 places and has a permanent indentation in the back. He said it was my fault because I didn't provide him with enough packing quilts. I had 2 professional packing quilts. Things are missing- one expensive thing worth $899. He threatened to not move take my plants last minute and so much more. And this is my first container! The 2nd one hasn't been delivered yet!! I can't even express my horror at his behavior telling me I had too much stuff!! He stayed in the garage, set himself up with a chair and drink and when I looked for him, he had disappeared more than once.Because he got rid of the 3rd container, there was no place for the clothes in my closet so he told me the only way he could pack them was in black plastic bags! Everything is so wrinkled, I will have to iron everything from my walk in closet. I haven't found my iron. It is so overwhelming after moving.
He charged me the full rate for the time he didn't work, but his billing for packing materials wasn't detailed on the invoices. He slopped his food on my white office cabinet which was inside in my office clean until he used it for a lunch table, but instead of cleaning it up, he shrink wrapped the cabinet with the stuff under it so now it has stained my white cabinet. I have tried cleaners, but it won't come off. It was sealed in during the summer heat. When I told him I would write this all up, he threatened me saying "I know where you live" which I reported. He underestimated my move, never showed up with the 2 guys he promised- not once. When I kept reminding him how little time I had left he became angry and said it was not his fault. That's the answer to everything. And, he constantly said he would walk off after he had eaten up any time I had to find someone else. When I would ask him why he was charging me for him sitting out in the garage talking on the phone, he turned his back and went outside. I had a box marked personal my bedroom with lingerie in it, but he took it and opened it and now I'm missing something of value. I can't prove he took it but who else could have? He wasn't supposed to take that box marked specially by me. I guess it made him curious.
I'm appaulled at his behavior and the amount he charged me. I paid $3000 when I moved in with packing and this move ended up costing me over $6000. He has an excuse for everything and no doubt he will answer this review by blaming me! He says I can't prove he did the damage, but how else would it have been damaged when he was the one who packed the container! Then he said he couldn't be held responsible for the damage because I used another company (because why would I use him after this awful service) to unload! So he said I can't prove he did it. I was standing right there when they unloaded this container and of course they didn't ruin anything! Like I said he has an answer for everything! Never had a "crew". He brought one guy, a different one every time. I hired him in May when we did the walk through and this was the result July 6th! I still have another container to be delivered so there may be episode 2. All I can say is never move alone. Always have an eye on him and his workers. read more
