Statewide Van lines

Nearly the worst move I have ever had

I was told that there would be no hidden charges and that my move would cost me 33 cents a pound, which would include door to door service, wrapping of furniture, courteous care, etc. First of all, the movers showed up 12 hours late. Immediately, the foreman started talking about extra charges for walking up stairs in my home. When I told him that I had a contract for no hidden charges he argued with me. The movers used my bathrooms without asking permission. I am renting my home and had just cleaned it prior to the move. Then, they left a carpet behind that I had to move in my car. Upon arriving the following day at my apt, two hours late, they again told me that I needed to pay extra for the stairs. I told them that I had a contract with no extra charges. They threatened to leave the truck with my belongings on the street and go back to New York. They put brown sticky tape directly on my hardwood furniture which left residual brown goo on the oak wood. They did not unpack my 42 inch TV that they put in the box, which was very difficult for me to unpack. The foreman was mad at me for not allowing his man to use my bathroom where my cats were locked up. I told him I was afraid that they would escape. He told me I was rude. The first thing they did when they walked in my door was ask to use the restroom. It seems to me that they could have stopped at a rest area on the way up. I did. It was only a three-hour drive. After all that, they asked me for a tip. I would advise not using this moving company.
