+ -1 moreSTAY FAR, FAR AWAY!!! EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS WITH THESE PEOPLE HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY MISQUOTES AND PRICE INCREASES. MY HUSBAND AND I TOOK A MEASURE OF THE VOLUME OF OUR GOODS AND ADDED 10% EXTRA FOR THE VOLUME OF PACKING MATERIALS. WHEN THE COMPANY PACKED OUR GOODS, THEY DID NOT MEASURE IT IN FRONT OF US, BUT TOOK THEM TO NEW YORK AND THEN SENT US A CALCULATION OF THE VOLUME THAT WAS OVER 50CUBIC FEET MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD MEASURED. ALSO WE WERE TOLD BY THE COMPANY THAT THEY NEEDED TO PACK OUR GOODS IN SPECIAL HEAVY DUTY BOXES FOR AN INTERNATIONAL MOVE. SO WE AGREED TO LET THEM PACK FOR US RATHER THAN PACK THE STUFF OUR SELVES. THE BOXES THEY USED WERE NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH U-HAUL FOR LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT WE WERE CHARGED. THIS WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH AN INTERNATIONAL MOVING COMPANY, AND I REALIZE WE MADE A LOT OF ROOKIE MISTAKES, BUT NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE SUCH ADVANTAGE OF OUT IGNORANCE.
Description of Work: WE CONTRACTED THESE PEOPLE TO SHIP SOME HOUSEHOLD GOODS FROM BOSTON TO VENEZUELA. THE MOVE HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED, OUR THINGS ARE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE IN 2-4 WEEKS. BUT, ALREADY I KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE AGAIN. WE WERE COMPLETELY SCREWED BY THEM, BUT SINCE THEY HAVE OUR THINGS, THERE IS REALLY NO OTHER RECOURSE, BUT TO TAKE IT AND THEN TO TELL AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME TO OTHERS. I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS FORUM BEFORE WE HIRED THESE PEOPLE. WE COULD HAVE SAVED OURSELVES A LOT OF TIME AND AGGRAVATION.
