Many surfaces were scratched.
The movers moved few boxes into the house, they filled the 2 car garage, then the back porch.
After the closing we had to quickly arrange for an extra large UHAUL truck, so we could complete moving ourselves.
I contacted All My Sons the next day to complain, but never received a response.
The final bill was more the $300 more than the estimate, even though they didn't do the move requested.
They had to make a second trip because they did not have a truck big enough for all of our stuff. They came and did the job, but I think that the most important thing that people need to know is that they have to be very clear more than once about the quantity of items of which they are moving -- the amount of stuff being moved. They underestimated what was communicated. You would almost like to request that they come to your location to do that instead of trying to communicate over the phone. They packed our kitchen and nothing got broken.We had nothing that was broken including several large screen TV's. They made two stops -- one to a storage a facility and one to an apartment.
They arrived on time. The only thing they did right
They scratched furniture.
We had a rep come out before the move and he assured me he didn't need to see the second floor apartment we were moving the furniture to.
Two sleeper sofa's wouldn't fit up the stairs to the second floor.
I had to give away the two sofa's, one cost $1100..00 ten months ago and the other was a Lazy Boy about three years old and cost $1350.00 when new.
The estimate from the rep was $800.00-$900.00 and they charged $1100.00.
I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy
Even though I kept saying that some of my things were fragile (a beveled ,two layered mirror that hangs on the wall to name one) and to please make sure they keep that in mind when packing all of it up, this still did not seem to matter.
When we got to NY (the same day) I found one of the guys carrying my very heavy wood coffee table by him self (after I told him repeatedly both in RI and here in NY, that it takes at least two people, I caught him just as he dropped it on the sidewalk, causing the finish to crack in several places and two areas of the side of the table to chip off.
While we were in the basement of the building waiting for the elevator, the headboard to my bed fell into some objects causing damage to it due to one of the guys letting it go. My side boards to my bed were also damaged. My stereo speakers must have been dropped in such a way because the corners are now smashed. My dresser also was damaged in several areas. The mirror that is beveled, when unpacked, had a broken off corner. My dining room table that is an antique, had two chips off the table top.
(not sure how that happened since it was wrapped, although everything that had been wrapped prior to the drive down to NY, was no longer wrapped before being moved from the truck to the building!
Once all was moved in, I complained about the damage, I was told to call a number and their insurance would cover it. Feeling somewhat confident and trusting, (foolishly) I paid the bill. I called the insurance co. They asked that I take pictures of everything, write a description and estimate of cost to repair or replace and mail it to them . All of which I did in a timely manner. A few months went by so I called to see what was their response. The women said they had sent me a letter a month ago (which I never received) with a quote of which she would not tell me for how much on the phone. She said she would resend it and checked my address (which was wrong but corrected). A week later I got their response and was offend and disappointed. My estimate of damages was around $3,500.00. They sent me a offer of $214.00 When I sent a letter of refusal they responded with sending the same letter for the same $214.00 offer! Moving was the most stressful experience I have ever had. I have heard stories of peoples things being held hostage for more money, once delivered or other crazy things. I really thought these guys were different. Now I have to live with the damages and be reminded that I paid for these damages! I did not settle for the $214.00 because there is a gag order in the settlement. I would rather tell people about this company then get settle for their offer!
Make sure you always read the small print no matter how nice the sales guy is. Yopu will find that you more or less sign away your rights for any recourse!
