We understand how stressful a long-distance move can be and we regret that the customer experienced frustration during this process. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the facts and address the concerns raised in this complaint.
First, regarding pricing, the initial estimate provided was based on the inventory list supplied by the customer at the time of booking. At pickup, the carrier documented an additional 284 cubic feet beyond the original quoted volume. As disclosed in our written agreement and federal moving regulations, any increase in volume or inventory results in a corresponding adjustment to cost. The final charges were directly tied to the verified increase in shipment size and were reviewed with the customer onsite. Their signed Bill of Lading and revised inventory reflecting these additions are on file.
With respect to payment methods, the carrier’s accepted forms of payment were also disclosed in advance during our verification calls and are consistent with industry standards for interstate household goods transportation.
Regarding the delivery timeline, the customer’s file reflects a First Available Delivery Date of January 13, 2026. As previously explained to the customer, the FADD is not always a guaranteed delivery date, but rather the first date the customer is available to receive their shipment. At no point was the shipment outside of the carriers federally permitted delivery window.
We acknowledged the customer’s concerns about communication when they initially contacted our office, particularly with the carrier, Move King LLC. Our records confirm that when the customer expressed difficulty reaching the carrier, our team immediately intervened, contacted carrier management, relayed real time updates to the customer in writing, and instructed the carrier to maintain an open line of communication. Mechanical issues with the truck were also communicated once reported to us by the carrier.
It is important to clarify that no concerns or disputes were raised with Top Tier Moving Group at the time of pickup regarding pricing, inventory, or onsite conditions. Had we been contacted during pickup, we would have worked promptly on the customer’s behalf to address any discrepancies, as we routinely do.
While we regret to hear that the customer remains unhappy with our services, the characterization of this move as a “bait-and-switch” or a breach of contract is not supported by the documented facts, signed paperwork, or applicable federal regulations. Top Tier Moving Group has continued to act in good faith, remained communicative, and fulfilled our role as a licensed moving coordinator throughout the process.
We remain willing to answer any additional questions or offer further clarification as needed.
