| - Seven years ago I didn't have a lot of lead time for my move so I had to get a generic mover, after that experience, and since I had to store my stuff for a few months I decided to pay a premium price for what I thought was a reliable mover Tippet-Richardson.
First, the dude on the phone recommended 4 guys which costs more but it would be a faster move. One of the last things we moved was my bed, and they had to take it apart a one man job while the other 3 chilled on my dime; I estimate that cost me over $100 extra. They also estimated the time back to their storage facility which I had to accept cause I had no clue. After the move I looked outside my window, the truck was parked down the street in front of a tavern, It was a beautiful day and they stopped in for a cold one on the patio. I had no problem with that but, was this also on my dime?
Months later I get them to move my stuff out of storage to my new place, i asked for 3 guys this time. The move was pretty quick and easy, about an hour. One of the guys asked me if he should put my bed together. I said no, because it was a snowy day, and although they put runners on the floor, my bedroom has a white carpet, and also it would prolong the move and add to the bill. Or so I thought. When they finished, the bill is presented and they told me it was a minimum 4 hours. Well why didn't they tell me that at the beginning?
As I am settling in and moving stuff around, and cleaning furniture etc. I notice scratches an nicks in almost every piece of furniture. They did have blankets and they shrink wrapped everything so how did this happen? while the truck was moving? Now this damage is not something you can claim because it is essentially cosmetic, but of course your expensive furniture doesn't look so expensive. Also there were dishes and glasses broken; some of it was my fault in what I put on the bottom of the box, but I bought 300 feet lot of bubble wrap, and I think they tossed the boxes around.
Given that I paid about $3000, including storage costs I am extremely pissed at the service that I got from Tippet-Richardson, I think I would have been better off getting any one else. The only good thing I can say about them is that they will pretty much move you when you need to be moved. But the generic novels I used 7 years ago nickel and domed me for narrow stairs etc, and they took a lot lot breaks, at least they did not damage anything.
One more thing I wanted to get something out of storage, an made an appt; I changed my mind and canceled a day before, they dinged me for $40.
