Should have just done it ourselves
On 11/23/2021, our movers came to begin to pack our things. A few days before then, the company had called to confirm our inventory, which were standard sized boxes from Home Depot. Inside our apartment, the movers were not wearing a mask, which is against the company protocol, and informed us that they would need more money than we were quoted, because they thought we would go over space. When booking this company, we were assured that they would take apart our furniture, carefully pack everything, and reassemble upon drop-off. The movers did not even attempt to take apart any of our furniture and were attempting to leave the site as we were trying to call the company to resolve. The company said that it would, in fact, be approximately $2,000 more dollars to move our things and furniture, due at that moment, before any further work was done. After filling our boxes in the truck, we were told there was room for one piece of furniture. Later, after the movers had left and we called the company to try to resolve the issue further, we were told everything is at the discretion of the foreman and that, while they understood our frustration, there was nothing they were willing to do to resolve the issue without incurring the additional cost, despite the lack of effort to take anything apart, which they said their movers usually don't just not try to take things apart. We now have no furniture when we move and will need to re-purchase furniture for our new living space. This company drastically underestimated our space, then used a situation where we had no other options for moving to try to charge us more money. We had all assurances that we were going to be under-space because we estimated our packing high, which we disclosed during the booking, and that if anything we would be owed a refund for space not used. This business practice is shameful and predatory, especially from a company with a B+ BBB rating and 4+ stars on google.
