Bad Move
I thought by going to a more expensive mover I would get better service. No-my house was damaged, I was intimidated by the movers to give them more money to move my washer/dryer (even though it was in the contract.). The cost I paid was different from the cost that I recived and I overpaid by $300. I am still waiting for the explanation. For new movers. Get everything in writing first. Do be intimidated. The most expensive is not always the best.

Our services were obtained to assist in the coordination of your move. Our claims department was previously in contact with you regarding the procedure and documents necessary in order to file a claim; however, records indicate that you no longer wished to pursue a claim.
