1.0 out of 51.0
Please please do not use this company for your moving needs -- they are a huge scam! I found the company through ConsumerAffairs.com and they promptly called me to discuss a quote -- it came in WAY under other quotes which I thought was surprising, and based on these reviews I decided to go ahead with them. They said at that time that my stuff would be delivered in 3-10 days, it would be all based on verified weights, etc. They also promised that the company would expertly wrap my mattress/boxspring for free as well as 1 TV. Finally, they confirmed that the company would handle all parking permits (my moving location was in Center City Philadelphia) and be able to put the box spring out the front window as it didn't fit any other way.
Then came the week of the move. I hadn't heard from anyone within 48 hours of my move so I called my original dealer who sounded surprised I had called him and couldn't help me. A different man called then and realized my initial valuation was completely wrong (I had told the original man I had a bed, and so he put in a mattress but didn't include a boxspring, headboard, etc). I also took away a sofa and added 5 boxes, but the price DOUBLED. I confirmed with them that day I could pay day of with credit card (was worried about them scamming me for money).
Then came moving day. The movers never called to confirm a time, so I had to call. No permits had been put out, and they blamed me. They took one look at my stuff and INCREASED THE PRICE again (now from $1500 for a 1 bedroom move to $4500). They promised all of it would be confirmed with weight receipts. They also refused to hoist my box spring out the front window (and only agreed after I about lost it on them). The contract that they forced me to sign that day said they hoped for 3-10 BUSINESS days but it could take up to 30 BUSINESS days for a coast-to-coast move. They also would only accept cash/check on arrival and CASH only on delivery.
Fast forward over 8 weeks later. New Frontier Van Lines would not answer or return multiple calls for assistance. Calling the contracted moving company daily finally got them to answer and my stuff got delivered. They tried to demand even more money, but we got that solved.
As you can see, this company is BAD news. Don't trust them. All the reviews on here have to be fake because they are horrible people and a horrible company.
