Avoid At All Costs
I was looking to move and was reached out to by Samuel Goldstein at Trident Moving Services LLC (DOT #3951250 MC #1470573) on 09/14/2023. I put down a deposit for a move to WA from TN (bill of lading #6787703). A week later I was called by Justin for quality assurance, he was rude and attempted to tack on an additional $1,000 to the estimate. After explaining that I was under 300 cu. ft. and nothing had changed in the amount I was bringing and that I would not agree to the new amount, he hung up. I called back to talk with another customer service rep and I explained that Justin was rude and condescending and that the amount being moved did not exceed 300 cu. ft. and they kept the same estimate. My window for pick up was 9/27-9/28. I received calls confirming pick up dates from Southerly Van Lines (or Southern Elite Van Lines DOT #4083659). Jennifer from Southerly Van Lines told me that her truck would come on 9/28 first thing in the morning. They never arrived. I called multiple times and finally she picked up and told me she would reach out to her crew. At 2PM on the day of the move, Jennifer texted they would not be able to come and that they could come the next morning. I told her I have a flight the next morning and cannot change my flight because I have to begin work. I reached out to Trident and did not hear back. I requested a refund of my deposit and they said they will not refund me.
