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 had nine other households moves included, so truck was too massive to fit our driveway. I was then forced to wait another day while the furniture was loaded onto a smaller truck. I was charged an additional $600 for a "shuttle" fee. The mover was so hurried that I couldn't take inventory of everything coming into the house. I was reluctant to sign the inventory sheet, but the mover was insistent. Within minutes of his departure, I found many items missing and many damaged. Because I signed the inventory list, I had no recourse. I had an estimated $3,200 of missing or damaged items.

I received a deplorable estimate and they were absolutely careless with my stuff. As I said, I am not happy with this experience.

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 ...
