The Worst

I was told the price would be reduced if I did not move as much. I moved 6 boxes, not 10 and no lamp or wall unit - yet the price was not reduced. My night table was not delivered and my end tables were damaged. I was told the delivery would be on October 18 after 6 pm. I was not called or anything until the morning of October 23 by the driver who said he would deliver in 2 hours.

When contacted on October 14 by a representative named Guy, I was told that it didn't matter what I was promised; if I didn't have it in writing, it didn't matter. I was told originally that I would have 3 days' notice for the delivery. Then I was told I needed to give a date for the earliest delivery with 9 additional days.

I said November 9 and she said she would mark that as my earliest date -- then 2 days later I was called by a driver who said he would deliver on Thursday 10/15 or Friday 10/16 and I told him I would be out of town. He said I needed to call the main number because my stuff was on the truck. I haven't opend the boxes, so I don't know if there is any additional damage.

Estimate was not even close to actual moving costs; Moving company would not give an estimated arrival date and every time I received a different answer. When the furniture finally arrived, the truck ...

The pick-up portion of my move was good, the workers were very courteous and helpful. They picked my furniture up on time and packed it carefully in the truck for the move. However, on the delivery, i...

1st Choice Moving

The salesperson "disappears" after the sale. Never is helpful again. Movers say they are not going to charge you for this or that (which is already stated in the contract), but find some other way ...
