I just recently moved from Fairlawn, NJ to Westwood, NJ this past Sat 2/27/10 and this moving company is a total SCAM ARTIST! Never ever use them!!! The only mistake I made was not to check and beleive the REVIEWS on the Internet before going with them.
They gave me a quote for $210 (FLAT RATE) and I ended up paying $1,200 for the move!!! I was skeptical and even sent them all the pictures to make sure that the estimate would be as close as possible to the actual cost.
Basically their common practice seems to be saying "YES" to everything you asked for and then came to your place and changed all the deal and agreement that they made with you. They charged me "packing materials" for $800 (DIRTY BLANKETS, TAPES, BOZED FOR TV THAT THEY TOOK BACK AFTER THE MOVE - WHO CARES?!?), stairs, travel time and misc fees that are just unbelievable. EVERYTHING THAT THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT CHARGE, THEY DID!!!
Also they will tell you that they accept credit card and on the actual move date, they will tell you point blank, "CASH ONLY."
And here's the deal, they won't up the price UNTIL they loaded all of your stuff in the truck first! I'd have told them to just forget about it and I will hire somoene else if I had known the price before the move even on that same day and the guy/foreman confirmed with me that it will still be $70/hr for 3 men! (even they told me it was a flat rate!!!) After your stuff is in their truck, they up the price and will tell you that THEY WILL BRING YOUR STUFF TO THE STORAGE UNLESS YOU PAY THEM!!!
I moved from the city to NJ before and I paid $700 and that included travel time of 1 hour, 3 stops, and all PACKING MATERIALS AND IT WAS 5 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS WALK UP BUILDING IN MANHATTAN!!!
But what choice do I have instead of paying these CROOKS that day or who knows what they will do to my stuff?!?
They are the lowest of lowest of the lowest of all the MOVERS that I ever hired!
Never ever hire these crooks!!! I hope they will go out of business soon!!!
