I hired this company to load my pod storage container. My move was scheduled for 11 am on 7/31/12 (when I booked this service week before my move, I told the company how important it was that they be on time since I had to drive from chapel hill, NC to new york city by myself right after they told me that this was not a problem and that they would be there on time). At 11:30 am that day when the movers were nowhere to be seen I called the company. They didn't contact me, and they said that my move had been pushed back to 6 pm that evening! They claimed to have called me a few days prior to my move, but I had no missed calls or messages from them. I explained that I needed the move to be sooner since I had to drive 8-9hrs after everything was packed. They said that the mover could be there anytime between 4-6pm and that there was nothing they could do about it, but that they would probably be there closer to 4 pm. At 4 pm I called to check on the eta and they said that they would be at my place really soon. At 5 pm I called again to check. Again they said that the movers would be at my place shortly. At 6 pm I called back yet again they said that the movers were 5 min away. At 7 pm they said the same thing. At 8 pm they said the movers would be here soon. I told them that it was late and that I needed to get some food (I had been waiting in my packed apartment all day waiting and had no food), so they would need to come at 7 am. They said they would see what they could do. They called back at 8:45pm to tell me someone would definitely be at my place at 9 am 8/1/12. At 9 am the next day there were no movers so I called them yet again (they never called me once) they said the movers they hired were running late and couldn't be at my place until 11 am 8/1. When the movers showed up they informed me that mango moving company didn't even send them my address until 9:30 am that day! Throughout this whole process, they were rude, and could really careless about my move. When I called to complain about the service a director named Scott actually said to me that "If the company didn't care about your move, we just wouldn't have shown up at all. I mean your move is complete isn't it!" I was obviously appalled by this. I mean, what service based company actually thinks like that? Since my lease ended on 7/31, I had to pay an extra day’s rent for my apartment I had to buy dinner and breakfast since I had no food at my place and I had to get a hotel room for the night since my apartment was completely packed up. They only offered me $50 in financial compensation for all of this. This was the worst moving experience I have ever had! Never ever use this company!
