Prior to our move, the company conducted an in-home survey and provided an estimate they described as being on the higher end to avoid any unexpected costs. Based on that representation, we felt confident proceeding. Unfortunately, the actual experience did not align with those assurances.
On moving day, the crew arrived with only one relatively small truck to handle a 4 bedroom home with an office and multiple living areas. This was clearly insufficient for the scope of the move. A second truck was brought in later, which caused significant delays. Moreover, an employee of the moving company was "fired" at our home during the move. A one day move turned into TWO days!!! Because billing is calculated in 15-minute increments, the lack of proper planning and resources directly increased the total cost. While this billing structure may appear reasonable at first, in practice it resulted in substantially higher charges due to inefficiencies.
The most concerning issue arose after the move. A portion of our belongings was taken without our authorization. When we requested their return, we were informed that the items would be withheld until we paid a revised total that was significantly higher than the original estimate. At that stage, we were given no opportunity to negotiate the updated charges.
This situation placed us in an extremely difficult position. Not only were we facing unexpected costs, but we were also unable to recover our own property without complying with terms we had not agreed to.
Ultimately, we engaged a second moving company to retrieve our belongings, resulting in additional expenses and considerable inconvenience.
Overall, our experience was marked by inadequate planning, inefficiency, and a lack of transparency. The discrepancy between the estimate and final charges, combined with the handling of our belongings, was deeply concerning.
Someone from the company came to our home a week after the move to drop off our things that they still had in their possession. They did not call or text or email us to inform us that they will be coming. Moreover, they spoke poorly about us to our painter who was there at that time. This is one of many examples of the unprofessionalism from this company.
We strongly recommend that others exercise caution when considering this company. read more
