Once upon a time they were very good. 24 years ago I used them to move to this house. I first called the DOT in 1995 and asked them for a good recommendation for a moving company. Their answer was, "You've got the best right down the road from you." They were correct. Davis was very good, and the price was right. I haven't had the need for a moving company in the past 24 years, but remembered how good they once were and decided to give them a call for an estimate for an upcoming move.
A representative did set an appointment and came to the house, and fairly quickly I had an estimate. Some time passed and my wife and I decided to pare down the number of items we were going to move, partly to lower costs. I then called Walton P. Davis to ask them to return in order to reassess our move since so much had changed. I left message after message and was finally told that the sales rep I had been dealing with was tied up in Manhattan with meetings and that he would call me at the end of the week. I said I understood and waited for the call back. Figuring that a message may have been lost in the shuffle I decided to call again. The person I had been speaking to for weeks answered the phone and said again that the rep had been busy but that he'd asked her to call me to put me at ease, and that in fact he would be calling me. That was 2 weeks ago.
Now, I might have been born at night, but I wasn't born LAST night. I can tell when I'm being put off. The only thing I can't figure is WHY. Trust me when I tell you that this company has changed drastically over the years, and not for the better. At this point, I'd have to be nothing but stupid to do business with them. Evidently, any quality of service or representation they may once have had is long gone. Do yourself a favor and spend your time researching movers that are not named Walton P. Davis. Useless. I feel I've dodged a bullet by not hearing from them. Shame, too, because I absolutely like to patronize local businesses, Especially ones that I know were once very good, and especially ones that are literally 30 seconds from my door. read more
