I hired Cross State Moving for my move and was very dissatisfied. The first surprise was that I was told an evaluation of the space and amount of furniture would not be necessary - 3 hours with 2 men and a truck should be sufficient. All very well - but it proved to be wrong. First: two men showed up, one rather old man and one very heavy guy that. They both tired out quickly and made me feel so guilty that I ended up carrying just as much as they did.
Second: the truck they brought was a 26 foot truck that was way to big for the ally and got stuck.
The men did not handle my antique furniture carefully, they ruined my box spring with the only comment being: well, just fix it, and generally exuded the atmosphere of not caring at all about anything. Once we reached my new home, they decided they had enough. After putting everything out in the parking lot they said the needed to go. I pleaded with them asking them to stay, but without luck. They felt they were done and there was nothing I could do to convince them to stay on. There I was - left with my things no where near where they were supposed to be.
When I called the company to complain the boss came back to me saying that his men said I asked them to leave - which is a flat out lie. I claimed the broken box spring but haven’t heard anything from Cross State Movers for weeks months. When I finally called them, they refused to pay me for the broken box spring. Their explanation was, that their insurance doesn’t cover Ikea furniture. GREAT!
Stay away from Cross State Movers. It's a very unpleasant place to deal with!
