I appreciate your detailed feedback and am sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. However, I would like to clarify a few potential misconceptions that could have contributed to this situation.
1. **Volume Calculation:** The size of your items or storage units in cubic feet isn't determined only by the size of the storage unit but also how your items were packed. Different packing techniques can result in different amounts of space being used, and packing materials themselves take up additional room. The method of loading your items in the moving truck also impacts the volume, and this might not align perfectly with the volume when the items are stored in a unit.
2. **Delayed Response:** You mentioned that you faced delays in getting responses from us. I can assure you that we never intend to ignore our customers' concerns. We aim to provide the best customer service, and any delays could have been due to high volumes of inquiries or a technical glitch.
3. **Travel Time:** Regarding the travel time between Albuquerque and Virginia, it is essential to note that professional moving companies operate under strict regulations about driving hours, including mandatory breaks. These rules are in place to ensure the safety of our drivers and your belongings. However, multiple drivers can take turns, which can potentially decrease transit time.
4. **Additional Charges:** It's important to clarify that additional charges for moving your belongings into a storage unit depend on various factors. These can include the distance from the truck to the storage unit, obstacles, stairs, etc. This is standard practice in the moving industry.
5. **Damages:** We're very concerned to hear about the damaged items. It is not our practice to handle items carelessly. However, accidents can happen despite precautions. This is why we recommend that all customers consider adequate insurance coverage to safeguard against any potential damages.
I hope this clarifies the situation a bit more. It's always our goal to provide a smooth moving experience for all customers, and we continually strive to improve based on the feedback we receive.
Best Regards
