Thank you Nick for your review of our company. We value all the reviews from our clients, good or bad. However, the review has to be justified and made by the client themselves.
At first glance we didn't find you in our system as a client. Upon digging deeper we found out that the review is in regards to a move we did for your girlfriend, Courtney, who is the only person we spoke to in regards of estimating the move and gave all the details to. You were not at all involved during any communications, so we feel your points aren't completely accurate.
But let me take a minute to address your concerns.
When we initially spoke to Courtney, she asked us about next day delivery and we informed her that for moves going over a certain miles (she was moving over 500 miles), the only way we could get her next day delivery is if she books a full dedicated truck for her move, but she opted against that since she said her stuff won't be enough to justify paying for a full truck. As per the law we are required to provide a delivery window as a broker, which we did and we met that window.
We gave her a pickup window of March 13 or 14. We got her picked up on the first day of the promised window which was March 13 and delivered her on the 16th.
In addition, for any future moves you make, please keep the following in mind, before putting the blame on the company.
1. We must receive an accurate inventory of the items being moved in order to give an accurate price.
2. Moving live plants is not something that is typical in a household move going 500 plus miles. On the initial estimate we explained to Courntey "Our actual client" that if they were in boxes we would not open her boxes and it would work with in the cubic feet alloted, these plants were not in boxes upon arrival to Courtneys move. When she insist on moving live plants her price will be effected because they require additional space. This was a big reason for the additional 628 cubic feet needed to complete your move as plants cannot be stacked.
3. As explained in our contract in BOLD letters, the price is subject to change when additional space is needed for the additional items the price will adjust accordingly, which Coutney needed because she had extra items/ items that were un stackable. We give all clients the option to move these items or leave them behind. Courtney "Our actual client" requested to still have these additional items moved.
4. As far as guaranteed deliveries are concerned we always will tell the clients the legal window which is required to be on every DOT licensed and registered company's contract. We delivered Courtney on Sunday March 17 (3 Days after the pickup took place as the day of pickup is not included in the window).
We explain all of these things during the estimate process as well as the quality assurance call given to our clients a few days prior to the move. Neither of which you were involved in.
All clients have the chance to request additional services/space on this call to receive an updated price prior to the pickup, we were told no additional pieces other then Bike which fit in the cubic feet allotted to you as we always reserved extra space for these circumstances. We have reached out to Courtney to come to a resolution.
