No! I had to go to work. So they showed up on Sunday but the crew smelled of booze and frankly mostly looked as if they had been recruited from a street corner. One of them dragged my unwrapped oriental wool carpet across the dirty garage floor until I told him to stop.
Because I was angry with all this, the owner gave me three months of free storage.
When I moved into the new house the crew was better but one of my boxes never showed up. I called to tell the owner that my summer clothes did not arrive and he just laughed and said I would find them, which having unpacked everything, I never did. I chose this company in part because they said they knew how to move my grandfather clock, but the wires inside are completely tangled by their handling. Bottom line, I would never use them again.
On the day of the move, the crew chief telephoned me to say that they were on their way. The load-out went okay other than the fact that crew left behind a table and lamp which I later had to go back and retrieve from the property I moved out of. Luckily, both items fit in my car. The load-in was uneventful except for the fact that when they approached their quitting time, the crew got a little careless and failed to re-assemble a table top which they had previously taken off. I was left to re-install the counter top, which weighs about 100 pounds.
The worst part of the day is when the move was completed. I initialed the time when the crew went off the clock and the crew chief computed the actual bill. The actual cost was $305 more than the estimate. Worse yet, the crew chief informed me that I would have to pay in cash because it was a Saturday. He claimed that he informed me of this when he called earlier in the morning; however, I don't recall hearing that. How on earth was I supposed to come up with cash on a Saturday afternoon AFTER the banks were closed? (My daily ATM limit is set by me for $500 per day for security purpose.) Furthermore, how was I supposed to know in advance how much cash to withdraw without knowing the ultimate cost?
I showed the crew chief the owner's quote. Nowhere on it was any statement saying that I would be constrained to pay in cash simply because it was a Saturday. The crew chief and owner had a discussion by telephone and the owner finally acquiesced and accepted my check.
The actual move and the professionalism of the crew were acceptable. However, I am very dissatisfied with the surprise when it was time to pay. Not only was the quote a real lowball figure, but I am very suspicious of any company who only accepts cash. At this point, I am unsure whether I would use these movers again. To their credit, I did receive a discount for mentioning Angie's List.
END
This was the best moving experience you could ask for. They were prompt, professional and Lou really cared about making this a good experience for me. When I called to schedule my delivery after storage he worked with me as far as having the same crew and the date I needed.
The price was fair and he responded to my phone calls promptly. It was great working with this company and I highly recommend them.
