I can only assume the quality of Copperstate Moving is going downhill from its earlier days. I decided to go with them because someone mentioned their name in passing. Big mistake. They plaster on the side of their trucks “affordable” but my experience of them providing affordability? Anything but. In fact, they were the least affordable moving company I’ve ever used in my ENTIRE life.
This company charged me nearly $85 just for using my credit card – a fee they neglected to tell me about in advance, of course, despite the fact I spoke with them on several occasions. Also, if your move ends 15 min past the hour, be prepared to pay for the entire hour. Example: if your move ends at 8:17 pm, be ready to fork over money for the other 43 minutes in which the movers have completed the move and left. This amounts to an added $120 (given their rate of $165/hour). An extra $120 for work they didn’t do!! There’s a ton of things I could use that money for besides paying someone for work that wasn’t done. Can’t you?
Look for companies that don’t tack on added costs at the end of your move. Their fees cost me an added $205. Flat-rate movers are out there, and it pays to make the effort to find them or outright request a flat-rate. I will be doing so in the future.
Here’s the final eye-opener: when they moved me, I actually had less furniture, having gotten rid of a number of items, including a patio couch, 4-drawer file cabinet, dining room table, 4 large boxes, folding table, indoor bench, office chair, bistro set, and outdoor 4-pc patio dining set. Yet, it cost me MORE money with this company, not the SAME or LESS. Un-freaking-believable!
Companies who get poor reviews are quick to sprout an online, “I’m sorry to learn that…please contact me…” for the public view, but behind the scenes, they do little, if anything at all, to resolve the customer’s angst. Unhappy customers the world over already know exactly what I’m talking about. Also, this company marred the walls in two different places that I’ll be responsible for patching and repainting—at my expense.
Do yourself a good service, find another moving company than these folks.
