Sunway Vanlines

First of all, I was told that the movers would arrive between 9 and 10 a.m. They showed up at 12 noon. Prior to the move date, I was given a "binding" estimate according to an inventory list that was approved and at least 95% accurate according to the moving supervisor. The supervisor never looked at the paperwork to see that there was an additional stop which was supposed to be free of charge per the binding estimate.

Once the movers were done packing all of my things on the truck (which took over 5 hrs), they wanted more money when I mentioned the 2nd stop! We argued for over an hour before he finally agreed to go to the 2nd stop (only after we agreed to pay more on delivery). It took another 5 hrs to pack up the 2nd stop.

When asked why the cost was so much more, we were told it was because all of our items were "oversized." Nowhere in the software when filling out the inventory list did anything state small, medium, large or oversize. We were told that we had oversized bins/boxes, furniture and everything else.

Response from Sunway Vanlines

Again we tell people all the time if you have large items tell us on the phone and we offer onsite if you choose not to have an onsite est that is on you and on the website where you fill out the inventory there is sm med and large. As far as being late it happens we treat everymove as if it was our own things. You must tell us about your items and it says on the binding est that it is based on you. So in short if you have another stop and you have more or bigger things by not telling us you are only fooling you.

They did not send someone to do an estimate, so it was done over the phone/computer (many companies do this). They did ask how many boxes I would need and I...
