"We appreciate your review and glad your move went well."
Submitted a request for quote online (with details of number of furniture and estimated number of boxes) - but instead of sending quote, they started spamming my inbox with and quot;moving adviceand quot; emails - at least one/day. After deleting the spams for close to a week, responded to the spam sender indicating my frustration with being spammed without sending the quote (which was what I had requested for). Next day, the lady from Mesa office called and apologized - apparently, the quote was sent 2 days after my original request - however, it never reached me.
I explained the details of my move (there was a change from what I mentioned in the request) - and then the lady explained to me that hourly rate includes furniture pads and stretch wrapping - but no packing services. The hourly rate was quoted as $106 (with minimum 2 hours, after which it gets pro-rated for every 15 mins) and was told no other charge is involved - it seemed higher, but considering my move was another week away (and no other charge, it seemed close to reasonable assuming the move would be hassle-free, based on the good reviews), I thought of doing additional research and re-negotiate if need be.
. The quote was emailed to me with a 6 hour estimate - however, I did not do the math at that time, assuming the figure matched what the lady mentioned on the phone. Further research found me lot of other movers, whose rates were much lower, but all had very bad reviews with regards to hidden charges (holding material loaded in trucks hostage), damaging the homes and furniture.
2 days prior to the move, received a confirmation call and on the day of the move, Kevin and Ernesto arrived 15 minutes ahead of schedule, surveyed the material to be moved and then started the move - they put furniture pad on the apartment door to avoid damage. they were efficient and no non-sense - did not seek any help from me and were very responsive to for any additional padding requests, any questions/clarifications - In 2 hours, they had loaded all items on the truck and were ready to go. I gave them the directions and drove in my own vehicle, with them following (just 6 miles) - On reaching our new home, Kevin and Ernesto came in and spoke with me to understand where each of the items will go (less than 5 mins). After that, I was just a by-stander with them unloading and re-assembling stuff in desired locations (for some of the items, they were responsive to my requests for minor adjustments in the location (no complaints or whining).
The unloading was complete (with no damage to any of the furniture or boxes) in another 2 hours and the total timing came to 4.25 hours and I was expecting a final charge of $450 - but the check listed the amount to be $556 - that is when I asked Kevin and he explained each line item and found out that there is a charge called and quot;travel chargeand quot; of $106 (same rate as labor rate). I told Kevin, I don't remember the lady explaining this charge - and I opened the emailed original quote and found that this charge was included in the quote, just that it was not explained verbally (I realized my mistake of not doing the math once I received the original quote). I conveyed this verbal mis-representation to Kevin, but went ahead and authorized the payment (did not seem fair to keep Kevin and Ernesto waiting after 4 hours of hard-work).
2 days later, the lady had called to inquire about the move. I expressed my satisfaction with the move,but conveyed my dissatisfaction with her for not explaining the and quot;hiddenand quot; travel charge (since I was driving at the time, the line was not clear and she may not have understood my reason for dissatisfaction - a 20% premium on top of an already high hourly rate seems to be a and quot;rip-offand quot;, although the service was good) - the travel charge and labor rate being the same can confuse what it means unless somebody explains/clarifies it (the travel charge is the fees for the two men and truck to come from their office to origin and go back to office after the move).
Good: Peace of mind on day of move
- Good service
- no damages to house or items being moved
Bad: extra-premium pricing
- hourly rate is very high compared to competition (100% higher than a lot of competition)
- hidden and quot;travel chargeand quot; not explained - keeping this charge same as labor charge can confuse you to mistake it to be one and the same and overlook this charge till it is time to make the payment (other reviewers had noted that this mover had no hidden charges - so was surprised about this charge not being explained)
We recommend them and would definitely use them again ourselves.
The guys arrived exactly on time and they sent 5 movers even though they were charging me for 4. We moved from a 4 bedroom house packed with furniture and took our refrigerator, washer, dryer and a good sized outside storage unit, It took less than 7 hours to complete the move including a 45 minute break for which there was no charge. Everything arrived safely and without damage. All 5 guys were professional, polite and really quite a bit of fun to work with. Each box and piece of furniture was labelled with a number signifying which room in the new house items were to go to. Each room also had a sign on it so that it was easy to figure out where to put stuff. Everything went where it was supposed to. They asked where furniture should be placed in each room and gladly moved things when it was decided to be put somewhere else.
Whoever made the decision to add a 5th mover made a really smart decision. It helped the other 4 since there was trips for each up the stairs and probably made the move go a lot faster and easier on all of them. Overall, a great experience.
I would gladly use them again but I'm hoping that I don't have to for a long time. Nothing personal, just don't enjoy moving.
"Hi Member, We are glad that your move went well! We appreciate the time you took to share your experience and we definitely appreciate your recommendation. Thank you, Karina In behalf of Two Men And A Truck Mesa"
