Consider IT Done Inc

I called Consider It Done because I had received a post card mailing that showed they provided the services I needed and they stated that they were cheaper and more professional than your average junk removal company (i.e. 1800 GotJunk). I left a message at there office as no one answered during the business hours they prescribed on the mailing. Someone eventually called me back later in the afternoon to discuss my needs. Their web site goes into great detail as to how to get an estimate based on the size of your removal needs. Based on the dimensions of my pile of rubbish I assumed the pricing would be $330. When I described what my guesstimate of the pile of building materials were the company stated that the estimate would be $350 plus an additional $65 for a TV that I also wanted to dispose of. I was told that the normal rate for the TV was $75 but they would provide a discount to that amount. Consider it Done had asked that to get an better estimate I give them the exact measurments of the pile of building materials I wanted discarded. I thought this was an odd request as the pile is not perfectly aligned and laying flat, after all it is building materials such as paneling, 2x4?s of varying shapes and sizes and some sheet rock. I proceeded to take a rough estimate of the pile and called Consider it Done back with those new measurements. The price? $500 plus the $65 for the TV. This is way more than they stated during the first call and more than what their estimated pricing listed on their web site stated. They said they could send someone out on the day of scheduled pick up and the price ?might change? but based on the dimensions I had given it wouldn?t change by much. I thought this was a rip-off so I called 1800GOTJUNK. They sent someone to my house that day, and wanted $238 for the same material, the TV, and garbage can full of broken up cement and a bunch of fire wood. I didn?t even ask Consider it Done to take the firewood or cement, but 1800GOTJUNK saw that material at my house and offered to take it as well. What a waste of time dealing with this company. How is someone to get a perfect dimension to a bunch of garbage? Why couldn?t they just simply send someone to look at it instead of on a day you schedule to have the material taken away? Pressure tactics maybe? I don?t know, but I would not recommend using them at all.
