MGM Moving Company

The owner of the company and his wife came out the weekend before to give an estimate. Looked through everything that had to be moved including the bunk beds which they were told would need to be taken apart. During the appt we were told that they would shrink wrap everything and that it looked like a simple job 3-4 hours tops. We were never told they we would automatically be billed for truck travel time to the move in the morning and then again when they left (1/2 hr each way). When the movers arrived on the day of the move they said the bunks would add at least an hour or more to the estimate...which didn't make sense because they knew about the bunks. The workers started just carrying stuff out without shrink wrapping it and when I told them I wanted it shrink wrapped they said they didn't have any. I said let me make a call to the owner I was promised shrink wrap....they found it a few minutes later. Not very happy with the services at all... The two men that did the moving were very nice but I would not recommend this company... The 3-4 hour maximum at 100 an hour cost me $750.

Response from MGM Moving & Storage Inc.

You state on a scale from 1 to 5 were the movers on time? You gave a 5. How did they handle your belongings? You gave another 5. Was the staff courteous? Again we got a 5. Then you also claimed under the category "after your move" did you have any damages? You entered yes. This we are finding hard to understand after you gave us 5's in all categories. Also nothing was ever mentioned to us about any damage at any time whatsoever. As far as the estimate, when we came to do the estimate we were under the assumption that you the customer were going to take apart a very difficult 10 piece bunk bed with additional set of stairs to save time. If this was indeed done then you would not have been billed for an additional 2 hours that it took to take apart the bunk bed and also to reassemble. Also the men did have all the materials and did shrink wrap all items. As far as the traveling time, every mover in the state of Rhode Island is required to charge from gate to gate. We did inform you at the time of the estimate that it was from the time the men leave until the time they return. Furthermore, this is the only complaint in the last 12 years of our company. Sorry you are not happy but I guess there was a total misunderstanding about who was to take apart and then put together the bunk bed. Sorry you feel this way.

The relocation crew was great but we only moved about one mile, which at $1,700 was too expensive.
