Dear Mr. Davis,
I wanted to address the issues you experienced with our moving company. The reason for the initial communication difficulty is that, due to legal restrictions, we cannot discuss your move with anyone who is not listed on the contract. This policy is in place to protect your privacy.
Regarding your estimate, we provide a binding estimate based on the inventory you supply. When you signed up, we discussed how the estimate works: it includes all labor and packing, as well as the cost for any boxes you provide. We rely on the accuracy of the inventory you provide, and it’s crucial to be as honest and precise as possible. When the box count increased significantly and additional furniture was added, this naturally led to an increase in your final price, which aligns with the terms agreed upon in your contract. We emphasize the importance of an accurate inventory to prevent surprises on moving day.
On the day of your move, I understand that additional items caused the truck to be filled beyond expectations. While we do allow for some flexibility, the nature of loading can resemble a game of Tetris, and not everything fits perfectly. However, the increase in your final bill is a result of the additional items and not an arbitrary charge. Your total move cost was $7,980, and while there were additional charges, they did not amount to an extra $9,000.
Regarding delivery, you indicated that you wanted your belongings delivered as soon as possible. However, when our team arrived, you mentioned that your house was not ready. With the truck loaded, our options were limited. We offered the choice to either deliver right away or place your items in storage, which you could access later. Our goal was to accommodate your request for prompt delivery, as you mentioned that you didn’t want your belongings left in storage longer than necessary.
It’s also important to note that your contract specified ASAP delivery as the first available date. When you signed, you indicated that you wanted your items delivered quickly, and that commitment was documented.
In conclusion, while there were additional charges due to the circumstances of your move, these charges are justified. We are a moving brokerage, and our carrier successfully managed both your pickup and delivery. If you’d like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to call us at the provided phone number.
Thank you for your understanding.
