1.0 out of 51.0
Short version:
We contracted a move from NY to PA 2 months before the move date. They inquired about # of rooms, furniture, etc. They gave us a quote which we signed off on. The day the movers came they DOUBLED the PRICE without ever checking the inventory provided.
Detailed Version:
I did a lot of online research before selecting a company and Amerisafe had very good reviews, so we decided to go with them. We contacted them approximately 2 months before the move and during the time up to the move things seemed to go smoothly. During an initial call they inquired about the # of rooms, # of bedrooms, about items in each room, large pieces of furniture, glass pieces (tabletops, shelving, etc.), area rugs, etc. We were quoted a price, which we accepted and signed. In addition, we were told Customer Service would call closer to the move date to see if there were any significant changes to the inventory - there were not.
The day the movers (apparently locally contracted company named US Moving Enterprises) came, the "clipboard guy" came in, looked around, never checked against the inventory we provided and DOUBLED THE PRICE!!! We went back and forth with him but basically there was nothing we could do. It was either pay it or he would leave without moving the furniture.

I called Amerisafe and the Customer Support person I spoke with was sympathetic but didn't do anything. It was just finger-pointing.
Later i the day, the "clipboard guy" said the move would actually need another truck and that would be more money!!!! He offered to do it at a "better price" if I contracted that part of the move through him. So, he was trying to cut-out Amerisafe now. I said "No" to another truck.
About 5:00 PM I told him he needed to finish up because the building had a 5:00 cut-off on moving in/out which we informed them of earlier in the week. He 1st said, "No one told him that." Then back pedaled and said "Well, we must have told a new person."
The next day as they moved us in it was a similar situation - trying to nickel and dime where ever they could but my wife didn't fall for it.
BTW, the actual men who moved the furniture were professional and polite. No complaints with them.
