Essentially everything the previous reviewer(MichaelVanWelden) wrote was identical to our experience, except we were also extorted out of an additional $7K dollars and 90% of our furniture was severely damaged. They are criminals. We are following up with the FBI, the US Dept of Transportation, the Better Business Bureau, have hired an attorney, and will make sure this does not happen to anyone else. In my 49 years, I have never engaged with such a dishonest and terrible group of people. This is no exageration. BEWARE.

The estimate included: *Full service move door to door *White Gloves service *Loading and Unloading *blanket wrapping and quilt pads *Free use of wardrobes boxes *Disassembly and reassembly of your furniture.The scheduled moving date was June 28th 2016 at 2pm and movers never arrived, then after negotiating the elevator reservation with my building I was offered another elevator reservation for June 30th at 2:30pm and the moving was rescheduled with company for 2:30pm, employees arrived at 7pm after the elevator cut off time. I asked the movers why they were not using blankets or quilts to protect my furniture as offered in your quote for white glove service, they replied they were not given any blankets or quilts with the truck and had no tools with them. Due to their late arrival, I helped them but they finished loading the truck at 9 pm and couldn’t make it on time to unload it at my new location (cut off time 5 pm). I received a call from the company to let me know that my furniture will be delivered the next day at 9 am and was suggested to buy an air mattress for the night and send the receipt to the company!! The next day a different crew arrived to unload the truck, which had a mechanical problem and couldn’t park in front of my building. The rain started and they dragged all my furniture on the floor damaging several pieces of which I have filed a claim, which has not be resolved as of today. The supervisor asked me to pay the balance in cash for an amount of $375 plus $60 in tips and when I asked for the receipt he said the company only uses electronic receipts and I should receive it very shortly, I never received it. The next day my bank alerted me that 2 charges of $170 and $236.19 had been applied to my account on top of the $50 deposit and the cash payment. During my call to the company Saturday, July 2nd to complain about this issue, I was told they will investigate the situation with the supervisor and these charges would be reversed to my account, as of today no credit has been credited to my account and damages to my furniture have not been compensated.

Local move 14-miles from Gainesville Florida to Alachua, Florida by Thompson and Sons Moving and Storage @ the above number: 954.531.1354 What it looks like is this moving business has their address @ different places all over the Internet; yet, the same telephone number is evident that it is the same people that have put me through a nightmare. Once they got all the money (945.00) per my original contract, to move me locally 14-miles, I was told they wanted an *additional* 1,064 dollars that included 200.00 dollars for storage that day until they got *double* the money on my original contract to do the 14-miles for a single household move *plus* 200.00 dollars per day for storage until they got what they wanted. Moreover, I almost loss everything, if it wasn't for a real friend to borrow. The move was for one household person, who is me, a 62-year old female. I had to call the police after fear for my own self. Thereafter, I had got in touch with Seniors VS Crime, who is directly associated with the Florida Attorney's General office along with the News media here in Gainesville, Florida. I think someone needs to stop the abuse that this company is allowed to continue to do to moving customers within *any* of our communities and counties. The News media is reaching out and willing to speak to anyone who wants to come forward with a complaint or call me @ 386 518 5458.

I hired this company to move office storage boxes from 2 locations The driver called on the day of pick up and said he was an hour away. that turned into 3 hours. When he called and said he was at the building, it took him another 20 minutes to find us. The driver informed us they he wanted the final payment in cash. I informed him that what I received said final payment with various credit cards and cash. He then ranted on that someone had to pay for his tires that went flat causing the delay. He told one of my staff that he had just gotten out of jail and had no way of taking a credit card. We decided to cancel the load. He left the boxes he first took on the street and left. In fact his worker told one of my employees that he just started with this company and did not like the driver who was his boss . Do yourself a favor and never hire this company.

Where do I begin? First we called them and got a quote to move our belongings from our house to storage then from storage to our new house. Quote was for 2 moves prices and storage separately. They picked up the furniture from fist house without too much trouble and honored the quote. 1st month storage was suppose to be free. They never called me too bill me for the 2nd month so I called them and paid with my visa. They then back billed me for the 2nd month again 2 weeks later and then the 3 and 4 th month without my consent to auto bill my credit card. Shawn , the owner, said he would refund the 1st month, that never happened after multiple calls. When he finally did answer the call he changed the quote and said the salesman was wrong on the pricing and never credited me the 1st month storage. He the sent us another quote for the second move with was a lot higher even though we had a signed contract for the entire move. He had every excuse but couldn't back them up with any facts. He just kept ignoring us. This went on for 3 months. They delivered the wrong furniture to our new house and then had half of someone else furniture out of truck in the rain.I had to tell the men to pack this up before it was all ruined. # days later my furniture was delivered and I had items missing that they never found. I demanded to meet him at their warehouse in Orlando and when we got there all it was was a simple small business garage with furniture stacked everywhere on top of each other. They don't separate anything and it wasn't warped. I warped and boxed all of my belongings thank god. I had 4 items damaged and they sent some pics to someone else home too we got those back because that person saw our name and number on them. It was a joke!! Shawn refuse to talk with me and adjust our billing. Oh, he demanded cash upon delivery after the truck arrive. We gave the driver the cash since he wouldn't let them unload. I also had to call the police earlier just to get him to deliver my stuff. He kept delaying the due arbitrarily even though we had a agreed date. We are taking legal action now since is will not talk with us. He is dishonest and stay away from this company. I had my doubts and they held true. Real you in with a low price then gouge you. The police here said demanding cash in Florida is also illegal. I didn't know that.
