First I apologize this is so long, this has been the absolute worst experience I've ever had. I am absolutely sick over the loss of so many of my items - my recently deceased mother's hand painted art, her mementos, my deceased father's items, an entire cedar chest full of them, all lost. They lost big furniture and many boxed items full of irreplaceable items. I am devastated. They do not return my calls, do not reply to my emails. When I do talk with them they say they are too busy to try to find out where all my stuff is. They say they will talk to the driver, and 'may' contact customers before and after my drop to see if they have any of my stuff. One of the truck driver's drops called me from Louisiana, because they received a box of some of my important and confidential papers - they found my phone number and called me. They since found a couple other boxes of my stuff, but I am missing so many things. How does this happen, you ask? Well I did to. I was not told by the broker Moving Pros US that my stuff would be picked up in a large 26' truck then taken to a warehouse, unloaded and put on a semi for transportation. My stuff was moved at least 4 times. The guy I talked with who had received some of my stuff said his was transferred more times than that. Well, that also explains why so much of my stuff was damaged and broken. One of the other inexcusable things the truck driver did was to hire two guys off Craigslist to pose as movers to unload the truck. Well these Craigslist movers were both injured (one recovering from a broken arm, one had a hernia, one was just released from a 15-year prison sentence in Texas! Plus they hardly did anything. The truck driver left without me getting the opportunity to verify I had everything and he left me with a full U-Haul and the two ex-felon druggies. I am an elder woman living here alone and they came into my house and unloaded things before I realized it. I had to pay them an additional $200 per the trucker, but let them go as soon as I found out. One of them is still harassing me with phone calls. I had to hire other, more professional movers to move me out of the U-Haul and into the house, and reassemble my furniture. This was an absolute nightmare, and still is. I paid more than 3x what I was quoted by the boker, and now I don't have my stuff, missing 1 out of 4 dining chairs, nightstand, chest of drawers - all with stuff inside! I am sick, absolutely sick! I do not recommend either of these terrible, terrible companies. They take your money, ask for more, then won't respond when you have a problem. I don't know if I will ever get my stuff back and am just devastated. I regret with all my being for ever hiring either of these companies for my move and if I can save at least one other person or family by letting them know to steer far away from them then that will help me sleep at night.
