My husband and I have used Mike's Moving twice. The first time was in 2017 and everything went smoothly. My husband worked over the phone with June, and she told him he’d receive a $50 discount if he paid cash after the move was completed. As we lived on the west side of town not far from the MM offices, my husband drove over and paid cash after we finished that day. The second move was in May of this year. My husband spoke with Renee, who also offered a $50 discount if the balance was paid in cash. The move itself went smoothly, but this time we lived far enough away from MM’s office that my husband gave the moving crew the cash, along with a good tip, and they took it to the office. We realize now what a mistake that was, but this is a heads-up for anyone else who might decide to pay cash. After leaving our house to return to the office, one of the movers called to tell my husband that one of the hundred dollar bills appeared to be fake. The cash had come directly from the bank, so we didn’t expect any actual problem. However, Renee called a little later and said yes, the bill was fake. My husband went to the office and Renee showed him the bill, which he agreed looked fake. He took the bill to the bank and they determined it was fake. They said they would not issue a fake bill, so we were stuck with paying an additional hundred to Mike’s Moving to cover it. I realize there are a lot of things we could have done differently regarding the cash payment, but my message is this. I suggest that if you pay cash for a discount, you take the money to the office personally and don’t send it with anyone. As it is, we will not use Mike’s again.
