Two days before the move, I called and spoke to the same employee as before to confirm that every thing was in place, and she told me that I did not have a reservation. She apologized, said it was her fault, and made a last-minute appointment for the same day as before, this time with an arrival window of 2:30–5pm. A few minutes later, I received a confirmation email with the wrong arrival window. I called her back and she apologized again, and said that she had made a mistake—the window was still 2:30–5.
A couple hours later, I received a phone call from a different employee, who said he was calling to confirm my move—and then said that they didn't have any of the information they needed, including the addresses of the apartments I was moving from and to. I told him I had just provided his coworker with that information. He poked around in my file for a second and then said that he did show that Two Men and a Truck had called me earlier that day. I replied that no, they had not called me—I had called them, only to discover that they had never made a reservation for me. He apologized and said he would get the addresses from his coworker. I then told him I was worried about the parking situation in my neighborhood, since my former apartment was on a small side street, and that they might have to just park the truck in the middle of the road if there wasn't room at the curb. He assured me it wouldn't be a problem.
On the day of the move, I waited for the moving crew from 2:30 until 4:30, when I decided to call and see if they were actually coming. Unfortunately, since the move was on a Saturday, there was no one answering the phones. At this point I was envisioning having to put my move off until the following Monday, and was trying to calculate how much that would cost me in additional rent, not to mention taking time off work, etc.—assuming I could even get a moving crew in that short amount of time.
At 4:48, I received a call from the moving crew, saying that they would be there in fifteen minutes. Twenty-five minutes later they finally showed up—fifteen minutes after the arrival window had closed. As expected, there was no room to park a 26-foot truck at the curb, but the crew informed me that it was against the policy of Two Men and a Truck to block the road (even if it was a seldom-used side street). I told them I had tried to explain the problem to their office over the phone and had apparently not been understood—just one in a series of ongoing miscommunications with their company.
One of my neighbors came out at that point and offered to move his car, which just barely created enough room at the curb, so they were able to proceed.
From that point on the move went extremely well. The crew was quick, competent, fun and enthusiastic, and got everything moved in significantly less time than the lower end of the estimate—which in turn meant the job cost less than I was expecting to pay. Unfortunately, this did not outweigh the string of mistakes and incompetence that preceded it that greatly added to the stress and worry of an already stressful move.
Not recommended.
"I'm glad that when the movers arrived, the move went extremely well for you and cost less than what you were expecting to pay. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience that day. We tried contacting you March 13 to discuss this, if you would like to discuss further, please give us a call at 801-747-1033. Thank you."
They put all the boxes where I asked them to, and carried some very heavy furniture upstairs without damaging it. They took a few breaks after wrestling with some 400 lb pieces, but they deducted the time from my overall cost. I didn't begrudge them the breaks, they worked very hard!
Overall they were very professional and worked quickly. I would recommend them.
"Thank you for the wonderful review. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to write your comments about the move. Let us know if there is anything we can help you with in the future!"
One the day of the move the two movers could not find my location and I had to go find them and escort them to my condominium building. They were scheduled to arrive at 8am. I escorted them to the condominium at 8:45am. They did not start work until 9:15am as they were calling into their office for discussions about the move.
During the move I found that this was the first actual 2 man move one of my movers had done. As such there was a great deal of delay while he was trained and shown how to do things. During this time I found that I had to keep looking for where and what the movers were doing – as they were often taking breaks, discussing girlfriends, discussing getting married, or discussing missionary experiences instead of actually working. I expect the total break time taken was over 1 hour. The delays got to be so frequent that I finally asked them to finish what they were doing, close up and move to my new location. As they left the stated they may stop to get some lunch (note above that customer service stated they would lunch in their truck during the move). It took me 30 minutes to drive to my new location. It took the Two Men and a Truck movers 1 and frac12; hours for the same drive.
At my new location, because of the previous delays and poor work ethic, most of my items were unloaded and left in the family room or garage where I later had to complete the moving myself – along with the items I had left at my condominium. They completed work at 3:15pm.
When the movers gave me their bill for 7.75 hours of work of work plus fees I immediately disputed the charges. They stated that they had to account for all of their time. They stated that they would discuss this dispute with customer service and that customer service would call me to adjust the billing as needed. Because I disputed the charge I would not sign the billing form which made them upset. I did not receive a call from customer service or Two Men and A Truck movers.
I tried four times calling to speak with a manager at Two Men and A Truck movers after the move to dispute the charges. I either left a message or was told by customer service person that they had taken my information and that I would be contacted soon. Due to my frustration with getting a response from Two Men and A Truck movers I completed an online customer feedback survey on their website. This is supposedly a candid feedback location where actual customers can log their experience – good or bad – about the Two Men and A Truck movers company. I detailed my poor experience as I have previously listed. At this time I noted that there were one or two other recent one star ratings posted in addition to my own. Two Men and a Truck Movers grade themselves from one to five stars with five stars being the best. As of today the website claims they are 5 stars rated. However, neither my survey nor any other previous star rating less than 4 is now posted.
After my online posting I received a call\message from the manager of Two Men and A Truck movers. I returned his call but had to leave a message as the customer service person stated he was unavailable. The manager left a second message and I returned his call that afternoon where we spoke and I discussed my concerns with him as previously listed. He stated that he would investigate and be getting back with me. Since then I have attempted multiple times to contact Two Men and a Truck movers in regards to resolution but have not had any of my communication attempts responded to.
I have had to file a credit card dispute over correct and accurate billing for services.
In my opinion they are not worth the effort in doing business with.
"We're very sorry to hear you about your concerns with Two Men and a Truck. In March 2011, the Two Men and a Truck office you worked with closed. Later that month we reopened Two Men and a Truck under new ownership and management. We hope you’ll consider using Two Men and a Truck again in the future."
