**Blue Dolly retroactively charged my account for a previous refund after i posted this review, without my permission. We received no notice of the charge and are still in the process of disputing with our bank. As for “false allegations” the photos speak for themselves. Im glad to see 3000+ people have viewed them, and can make an informed choice as a consumer.
Damages:
-$1700-a brand new couch from Blu Dot, the first i’d ever bought.
-$800-a brand new room and board bed-frame with the tag still on, was given to them wrapped, they unwrapped it
-$200-a brand new handmade wooden bench, legs broken and wobbles now
-an antique armoire that has scratches along the side
-lost 6 pieces i had to replace to a shelf that a previous moving company had carefully wrapped
-Wooden front door broken at the house we were leaving
I hired this company in the hopes that they would take extra care of my moms furniture. They came with the recommendation of my realtor, and despite the quote being significantly higher than competitors, i wanted my mom’s antique pieces to arrive to her house safely. Huge mistake.
We knew almost immediately that we had made the wrong choice. They arrived at the tail end of their estimated time and broke our front door right before an inspection for the sale of the house the next morning. We were frantically calling our realtor and searching for someone to do a repair that night and stayed up past 1am, with no help offered from the company that evening besides an offer to call the next morning. We also had blown past the initial estimate that first day.
During the move, one guy was moving a brand new couch down a flight of stairs by himself unwrapped. We had to help them figure out how to carry out certain pieces which was something I’ve never had to with any previous moving company. They were also unable to move a hutch that they later had to go back for. When the furniture arrived at our new house, some pieces were purposefully positioned to hide damages.
We spent hours on the phone with the owner of the company and ultimately received a partial refund. A month passed. We were told that we would receive a full refund over four weeks but then that was delayed indefinitely when their trucks broke down. For the time it took to get the partial refund, how much business advice i heard my mom giving the owner, it was not worth the pain, and we were not surprised when it was delayed again.
If this can save anyone the hell we experienced, we believed sharing our experience was more important than the refund in the hopes no one else has this same awful experience.
**Also ran into a woman who said they dropped her baby grand piano, so at this point we know its not just our experience. As for that being false-their own mover confirmed they moved three pianos with blue dolly when we spoke with them. The lies man. Jesus.
