Horrible scheduling and communication. Charged more than $1k over the estimate. But great crew. Would 100% not use them again or recommend them. Full story below.
I contacted them to get a quote on our move and got quoted a 3 person crew for packing and moving for $2,731 for a one day move on a Saturday. I also said I need unpacking services which were quoted at an additional $140.
I got a call from them prior to the move asking if they could come the day before to prep/pack which I said was no problem. Having not heard from them since, I contacted them the day before the move to request a 9:15am start time on Friday to which they said no problem they'd be there. 11am on Friday no movers had arrived yet and I had no calls from them. I called to find out what was going on. They said they were behind on a job and could they come later. I had to call them back to figure out our schedule as we were closing on our house that day. I called them back to request 4pm which they said they could do and start to prep even though it was late in the day. By 4:30pm no movers and no phone call. I called again and spoke to them and they said they were still behind on the job and could they come and do the whole thing tomorrow. I said I was beginning to lose my confidence in them that they could get this done and they assured me they could and would be there at 8am the next day with a full crew ready to work.
On Saturday the movers arrived and were completely wonderful, nothing but good things to say about them. They worked fast and hard and got all of our stuff moved as promised. We asked when the other crew would be there to do the packing. They said they'd call and ask. I then followed up maybe 4-5 more times throughout the afternoon asking if they'd heard yet about the unpacking. They kept assuring me I'd get a call from Sara. No call ever came. Another guy in the crew said he thought they were coming tomorrow (Sunday). Even though it was not ideal and I assumed it was all going to take place the same day, although I wasn't sure since I had not clarified that, I assumed I was in the wrong and didn't know the business and said that was fine, I was home all day tomorrow but I needed to know what time so I could plan my day as my husband was going out of town. I was promised Sara would call.
Then all of the movers left except one who stayed behind to give us our bill. It was over $4,000, which was way more than the $2,731 I was quoted. I told this to them and brought up the estimate on my phone I had gotten prior to the move. Then they took some money off the invoice to not charge for labor during packing, but it still came out to $3,802. Looking more closely they had charged for a 5 person crew instead of the 3 person crew that was quoted, and fuel was almost double what was quoted as well, and packing materials were also much more.
They were very nice and said that they'd have the person who did the estimate, Sara, call me, but I had to pay the $3,802. So I paid the $3,802 and asked for them to make sure she called me. And so we could schedule the unpacking for the next day. It's now almost 10pm, I've emailed and haven't heard from them yet.
I'm sum, I loved the crew and they were great but the lack of communication on this job was unacceptable from the not showing up when they said they were going to the day before, to changing more than $1k over the estimate, to the lack of communication about the unpacking, and I can't recommend them and would not use them again. read more
