1.0 out of 51.0
I recently moved from New York City to California using Moving Relocation System, and it was an absolute disaster. My items were picked up on 9/9/24 and delivered on 9/18/24, and I paid a total of $6,984—only to find out later that I was heavily overcharged. We measured the space our belongings actually took in the truck (see before and after photos), and it came out to 864 cubic feet. Our items occupied 6 panels, each 2 feet wide, in a truck that’s 9 feet high and 8 feet wide. Yet, we were billed for an additional 236 cubic feet at a rate of $5.25 per cubic foot, despite clear evidence of the true volume.
According to their own pricing breakdown, our actual charges should have been:
864 cu. ft. x $5.25 = $4,536
Fuel Surcharge (14%) = $635
Service Fee = $400
Total = $5,571
However, they charged us as if we used significantly more cubic footage, leading to a final bill of $6,984. Based on their own numbers, we’re due a refund of $1,412, but this company has proven to be dishonest and unreliable from start to finish.
On top of all this, when our shipment arrived, nearly all of my furniture was damaged—broken, scratched, dented, or ripped. Several appliances no longer function or won’t even power on. I have never experienced such carelessness, and the inaccurate billing feels downright predatory. I strongly advise anyone considering Moving Relocation System to look elsewhere if you value your belongings and your peace of mind.
