First the movers themselves (Anthony Davis and his crew) were excellent. CVL however is a shady, BS, dishonest bait and switch company.

Teddy gives me quote of $3528,5558 lbs. To rope you in. 3 days before move (when it is too late to fire them and get a honest company), Alvin gives final review and adjustment which comes out to $5414.38,6793 lbs. And want an additional $1100 deposit added to the already $1627 deposit I gave Teddy.

The weight actually comes in about 200lbs above original estimate of 5558 and I am told it is around. 50 per lb for the overage equally $100. I also paid extra for mirror and picture wrap of about 250. So for the $2000 difference in the 2 estimates I was owed about $1600, which I was assured would be refunded to me within 10 days. After a month of phone calls the did refund about $700 and change. Still short about $900.

Still waiting after contacting Teddy with the math has been quite a while no nothing from them. Move was Oct 21, it is now Feb 5.

Avoid these guys like the plague. There are too many honest companies out there to be involved with guys like these.
