| - DON'T BE FOOLED - Move4Less - Not Even Close
Eric came out to give us an estimate for packing and moving our belongings 4.4 miles to our new home on May 29, 2015. After giving us an estimate, my wife and I and friends packed about 10 boxes of our stuff in boxes we bought at Lowes. Then we gave Goodwill about 10 giant trash bags of clothing. And, we emptied our master bedroom closet and moved our clothes to our new home ourselves over days prior to the mover's day move. So, the cost to pack and move should now be less than what Eric's estimate stated, don't you think? I mean we packed 10 boxes of stuff and gave away 10 giant bags of clothing and moved a lot of our clothes ourselves. That would mean they had to use way less boxes that they estimated we would be charged for. That would mean it should take the packers way less time to pack us. Don't you think? That should mean that we would save if not a lot, some money on the move. Don't you think?
The estimate Eric gave us to move our stuff 4.4 miles was $1,643. You have to add $149 to that because I paid for Mover's Choice Insurance because the movers were going to have to move 2 computers, a player piano, 2 T.V's, an antique mirror as well as a pretty big mirror for out dining room, some very old glassware my wife's mother willed her, 2 desks, a couple of file cabinets, a very expensive and heavy massage chair, framed art work and much more. It seemed prudent to pay the $149 to get the insurance. So, with the added $149 to the original estimate of $1,643, you get a total to move 4.4 miles of $1,792. So, with less stuff to pack, fewer boxes to use and a lot less stuff to move, how much do you think we saved form the original estimate? If you're still thinking, check the title of the revue. Estimate with insurance: $1,792. Actual cost to move and paid to Move4Less: $2,335.00. What should have cost less than the estimate actually cost $543 more! Their company name should be Move4More. But wait, that's not the whole story. Remember that insurance I paid $149 for? Mover's Choice Insurance. Well, we did have breakage.
Mover's Choice Insurance - Worthless
The movers cracked a computer monitor, broke the player piano control on/off switch, broke the wheel off a file cabinet, broke an antique mirror into a hundred pieces of glass, broke two etched glass glasses from two different old sets of glasses my wife's mother willed her, they dropped the top portion of an outdoor fountain that put cracks in it, they broke our sleep number bed or at least put it back together improperly. And broke a few other items as well. I gave them a list of items that they broke with costs to repair or replace. The glassware and antique mirror I listed as priceless. They responded that all the breakage did not add up to more than the $1,000 deductible. I figured they took the word "priceless" as meaning the items had no value when in fact it means the value is so high that it's hard to put a price on it. So I sent them the list again and gave each item a money value to help them determine an amount that would make us whole. They responded that if we went forward with the claim they would flag it as a possible insurance fraud. So they went from denying any responsibility to threatening us with insurance fraud. Mover's Choice Insurance - NOT PRICELESS - WORTHLESS.
