When you hire a moving company, you are trusting them with every item you have ever worked for. You are entrusting that they will take every item that you earned and get it safely from point a to point b. I had never used a moving company before, and I was honestly excited that my husband and I had decided to go this route in August when we decided to make a big move. I scoured companies online and I was relieved when I found StraightLine Moving in our new town moving another family. I immediately got the number off of the van and called and chatted with Corey. Numerous times I asked them “what happens if you break my 80 inch Samsung Curved TV?” AKA my husband and I’s favorite piece of “furniture” in our house. Not only did he promise me that they had General Liability insurance as well as would do everything in their power to not break or damage anything and if they did “they would do everything to make it right to avoid unhappy customers and bad reviews” Upon the day of their arrival, Juan and his helper came to our house and got right to work. Juan began to read me a lengthy “contract” and his helper got to work upstairs in my children’s bedrooms. I, on numerous occasions, asked Juan what happened if our TV was broken and he kept saying “Tv’s like that don’t scare me, it wont happen” Then proceeded to sell me “additional insurance” which he did not understand what he was selling or what the true depth of this “policy” was. I called and talked to Tim, who also assured me that the guys were great, explained that I should purchase this “additional” insurance to cover the retail price of our television and if anything happened he would turn the claim in to his insurance to avoid any negative actions. The guys immediately got to work, they were quick and efficient which I was rather impressed by since they were on the hourly clock. I did notice that they seemed to be “manhandling” (for lack of better words) all of our furniture but I trusted them as they were the professionals. They did not wrap anything, use moving blankets, or make anything “secure” with the exception of our 80 inch television, and this was only because we still had the original packaging for it. Until, they were carrying out my sectional sofa and I watched them scrape the front of it against our brick wall/planter box on the porch, and then take our brand new $7,000 beauty rest mattress and place it on the ground outside of our lower level bedroom. Fast forward to when we arrive at our new home, they began unloading all of our furniture and I began to observe the damage. Juan was spending an abnormal amount of time in our bedroom and then he called me in and asked if the TV from our bedroom always leaned forward, and pointed it out to me, and it was leaning so far forward it was almost falling off of the dresser. I told him no it never did that before, and he proceeded to spend 30 minutes on the clock trying to “fix” the base. He placed it on the dresser two more times, and then told me he needed to lay it on the floor and we would have to get a new base.�This turned out to be the least of my worries, as I began to observe all of the damages when they left. The broken base on the 60 inch tv, two pressure punctures in the LED screen of the 60 inch TV {As well as a clear imprint where a sweaty head had rested against the TV while moving it}, A hole ripped in my beauty rest mattress topper as well as visible dirt and debris, numerous scuffs, scratches and holes in all three pieces of my leather sectional, and much to my surprise….a rather large pressure puncture in the screen of the 80 inch TV that we were promised would not get broken. I called our local company that we purchase everything from to come and analyze everything and it turns out, the debris and hole voided the warranty in our mattress and the way it was damaged was unfixable, both tvs needed new screen panels {which actually wind up costing more to replace than the TV cost in the first place}, and the sectional was trashed because the leather was no longer manufactured. Turns out, that TV’s should NEVER be moved by one person, or in the manner that they were moved, and this resulted in finger pressure points on the screens. �My husband called Straightline and after going back and forth with Tim, he finally came out to visit us. At the end of the visit, he decided that he would simply offer to “refund our move” which at $700 was only a drop in the $13,928.00 bucket of damages. He kept trying to downplay the extent of the damages that were caused during our move as well. We repeatedly asked him to just turn it in to his insurance like he had promised, and he refused. After looking him up online he clearly states on multiple review websites that he carries a $1,000,000 general liability insurance policy. It took us hiring a lawyer for him to finally turn it over to insurance. At this point of dealing with their insurance company, we find out that the “additional” insurance we purchased actually REPLACED and VOIDED our ability to get anything more than the $7,000 in additional insurance that I had purchased. 4 months later I have almost 14,000 in damages to my furniture and electronics, bills and fees owed to a lawyer, and more. �At the end of the day we paid Straightline $700 to move us, and wound up living our worst nightmare. Buyer beware, we tried to turn this in to our personal home owners policy and come to find out if you move everything yourself and break everything it is covered, but the minute you hand it over to a company it is on them. Do yourself a favor and rent a moving truck so that if all if your furniture is broken, you have peace of mind.
