   Long Distance Moving Experts, Inc. == Avoid or be ripped off!

   STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! This refers to Long Distance Moving Experts.net (not .com) -- If I could give them a -10 stars, I would. They are thieves. This company (LDME.net) should be closed down. The initial rep, Christopher Scott, was helpful and friendly. He quoted us $2961 for 1120 cu.ft. -- a fair deal to move from NorCal to SLC, Utah. At delivery, in short, they held our items as ransom, extorted over $5,500 ($2,600 more than the original quote) from us, lied about the actual cubic footage, lied about not consolidating our shipment, broke furniture and lamps because they trans-shipped our goods, falsified the bills of lading, refused to assist us in any way. This company and all involved are crooks. Read the names of others involved in that company. Avoid them at all cost! The day before they were scheduled to pick up our belonging, he disappeared. Spoke with the "GM", Nick Chambers, who said Chris had left the company and later said he was moved to a different dept. Nick dropped out of the picture, and we were left to deal with Bella (who answers the phone if you call WI, IL or IN). They do NOT own the trucks; they subcontract. While on the road from CA to UT, Bella and Heather (supposedly another "manager") continuously tried to force us to sign and send other documents to confirm cc approvals for the initial downpayment. Their harassment and business tactics are horrible at best and unscrupulous, bordering illegal at worst. They told us our belonging would not be consolidate with another person -- they lied. At pick up, the truck had approx. 1500 cu.ft. -- near full capacity (the lead driver explained how they measure it inside the back of-- the truck). At drop off in the same sized truck, different driver,, our items had been crammed into the forward part of the truck, occupying "approx 1200 cu.ft." per the driver himself. Long Distance Moving Experts.net (the mover) would not talk to the trucking company, would -not intervene to help, and forced us to pay in cash to the truck drive -- double the original quote or they were going to drive away and put everything in storage at our cost until they recd payment! Go with any other company!!
