I would not recommend this moving company due to unexpected charges, poor communication, and issues with the estimating process.
The movers themselves were hardworking and professional, but unfortunately the experience was overshadowed by the company’s handling of additional fees and poor customer service.
When we received our estimate, we were not informed about certain charges that were later added, including travel fees from their facility to our old home and from our new home back to their facility. Nearly a week after our move, we were charged an additional $630 for these fees. After contacting management, Tammy agreed to refund only $350, but the process took far too long and was very frustrating.
The truck size was also significantly underestimated. We explained to Michael, the representative who came to provide the estimate, that our new home had a very steep driveway. We were assured this would not be a problem and that the movers had handled situations like this before. Unfortunately, the truck could not make it down the driveway, which meant everything had to be moved up and down a steep hill. My husband and I had to help the movers using our own hand truck and wheelbarrow to get everything moved.
We previously made multiple trips ourselves with both of our trucks, donate and give away items, and leave things behind for the new homeowners which luckily we did because the movers even told us that it was a good thing we had removed so much because the truck was completely full, and if anything else had been left, a second truck would have been needed — which they said would have been the company’s responsibility.
When I contacted CeCe, the coordinator, about the additional charges, I was told they were due to the extra time involved. However, the extra time was a result of the truck size being underestimated and the driveway situation not being properly accounted for during the estimate — not something that should have been blamed on us.
While the movers themselves did a great job under difficult circumstances, the hidden charges, lack of transparency, and the way my concerns were handled by management made this a very disappointing experience. I would recommend getting every possible fee in writing before hiring this company.
