Used Always Moving to move a 2 bedroom apt from Atlanta to Nashville. Here are the 4 ways we were scammed:
1- They bait and switch you on price. Our initial estimate was $3400. Then a week prior they reassessed and said, okay MAX it was be $9000. Day of, the lead mover said based on how we charge ($7 per cubic ft) this will be $13,000. For a 2 bedroom. Con artist right there.
2- Based on that news, we stopped what they had done so far in the day. Rented our own Penske truck and moving supplies and did the rest ourselves. Then we only had to pay $5600, which was still a lot of money. Other ppl we know who used a dif company got the same move for way less for ALL of their 2-bedroom stuff.
3- They pack like shit, but don't replace at cost. At most, if they break something they will pay you $6/lb. If you waive that, it's $.06/lb. Needless to say, they broke: a pitcher, 2 vases, a serving tray, various LeCreuset cookwares, AND they LOST a box of my husband's clothes and mysteriously... our really nice bluetooth speaker...hi thieves. I'm telling you they straight up THREW things in boxes without bubble wrap or paper around them. They also don't hang clothes in clothes boxes that are designed to have to bar across them. Just threw them in.
4- Their dates are bogus. They said they will deliver on X date. But what they meant is X date + the two-week time frame thereafter.
Long story short, go with a local mover. PLEASE help them go out of business. This is my 4th interstate move and I've never had so many things go wrong, get broken, and I've never had anything get lost. "Always Moving" away from the law and doing what's right.
