The driver Jacob arrived a bit late,but accepted it. First of all he did not remember to bring a credit card receipt and box to slide my card. He apologized and took photos of my card and drivers license with his personal phone camera. NOT GOOD. I was told that I could cut costs by wrapping some of my items. I attempted to save money by bubble wrapping my china cabinet, and I was happy with the job. Without asking me, he ripped off all the packaging and did his own. I had opted not to purchase a box for my mattress and box springs to save money, and covered each separately with a plastic zipper bag. They covered that up with some black plastic, again not telling me if there would be an additional cost. Two weeks later, my things still not delivered, I got a cost sheet from Budget Van Lines telling me the driver charged me $150. for a bulky item. I don't know which item that was, and was not told I'd pay extra for any particular item. Then I saw another charge for $267 for special packaging. I have no idea what that was, or was I asked if I even wanted it. I had packed everything myself as I did when I moved there 3 years ago, and I was happy with what I did. Then the owner Jeremy tried 10 times to use my credit card. It never worked for him. I had to wire him $1,000.00 which I had not intended on doing. I had to pay $20 for the wire, and that should not have happened. It was not my fault they can't use a credit card, every other purchase I made had no problems using my credit card. Jeremy never talked to me, barely even sent emails, would not call my credit card company as I asked him to, didn't call me to talk to me. His receptionist said "he is a very busy man." Any owner who does not serve his customers well, has a doomed business. I would not recommend this company to any one. Many phone calls and rare answers from them. It is now 15 days since pick up and I have no idea when they will deliver my things to the storage facility. Poorest customer service I've ever seen. If you use Budget Van Lines, make sure the trucks they hire are reputable companies. This one is not.
