--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. After sending an e-mail at the end of May of this year I was e-mailed back in which the e-mail told me to call contact 2 men and a truck by phone for a quote. I called, asked for Jean Bimm, and she was unavailable at that time. I asked her colleague to provide my contact information to Jean Bim to return my call. I didn't hear back from anyone at all until I followed up with another e-mail and phone call. This is frustrating when it is not an easy process to give a company money for services. I persisted as I had heard they were a good company and thought this would be the only negative experience I would have!
2. When booking my move, me and my fiancé had been told that Wednesday July 27th was available for packers, July 28th was available for the move and July 29th for unpackers. We rebooked our patients and clients that we had already booked on the 29th, and then received a call back saying that the Friday was unavailable. This was rather frustrating as we had already made arrangements to contact all our clients to reschedule them for Friday and then had to reschedule them again after we were unable to book the unpackers for that date.
3. The packers and movers all completely stunk of smoke. We could smell it in our house that we moved out of after they left as well as our house we moved into after they left. We were unpacking a few boxes and could smell smoke in the boxes upon opening them. Not only is this quite gross, my fiancé has smoke allergies and is very sensitive to smoke, and had to take her puffers while the movers and packers were there.
4. Not only did the movers break the fence at our place we were moving out of with the truck, when I called this past Friday to follow up on the accident report, management was unavailavle and even though the assistant had said a call back to myself and the landlord of our place we were moving out of would be completed by end of day, I still haven't heard back. This is quite annoying coupled with the first communication errors in number 1. Upon writing this review I still have not heard of anything.
5. 2 of the movers were already in the truck by 6:00pm and the driver jumped into the truck by 6:10. The time sheet says 6:15pm. They were definately stretching on this one as the head mover and driver talked to us for about 10min at the end of the move... which we were charged for.
6. We paid for the movers lunch. I also contacted 2 men and a truck by phone on Friday and was told that a followup phone call would be done by close of that day. No follow-up was made.
7. Legs were broken off of one of our benches. Even though my fiancé signed that no damage was done, she just didn't want to deal with it at that moment.
8. We also called to let the drivers know NOT to take River Road due to consturction. They took part of River Road and we were charged for the entire drive to our new place.
10. We were also quoted 8 hours and the move took over 10 hours, even though I had already made 6 trips with my pick-up truck full of our possessions each time. On multiple occasions we saw the 2 young movers dawdling and carrying 1 small thing instead of being more efficient.
