DO NOT HIRE THESE MOVERS

Dispatch was friendly and mentioned continuously that they had 30 years of experience, however, they underestimated my move by 50% after giving them all the details. I recommend anyone who has a house that is 3 bedrooms and over to go with a company that has the proper equipment. With their 7 ton truck, which is not adequate for larger moves at all, they thought they could do my house in one day with one truckload, this turned out to be double at 2 truck loads and 2 days! This cost me 2,000 dollars more than I anticipated!!

I am not entirely sure why this company has moving insurance. They make you sign your life away before moving basically giving them free reign to do anything with your belongings. 5 of my items were damaged and half of it was due to careless handling not even in the actual truck moving from A to B. One mover actually displayed unsafe work ethics by holding my tall very heavy shelf on a sloped driveway with one hand and lost control of it in front of me, he broke the leg of the shelf, thank goodness it did not fall on a car or even worse a person.

After witnessing the damage to it all, the guy kept saying we will handle it we will handle it, but after talking to the owner to get reimbursed for my items at first he was ok with helping come up with a solution, however, after a couple days they seemed to get out of it completely. What a disaster.

I would recommend to anyone to pay more to get a better quality company to move your belongings. Especially company moves, there are a lot better companies out there.

large 6 bedroom house

I agree with the hidden fees that are associated with this company. fuel surcharges, commuting time etc. Dispatch underestimated my move by 50%.
