This was the worst and most destructive move I have ever encountered. They destroyed more antiques and personal items than any other move that I’ve ever done. I’ve moved with moving companies 10 times and moved myself the last 4 moves with Pack Rat. Everything I own fits into their largest container. I had just moved 11 months earlier and I was leaving items behind, so I knew how much space I needed. But instead of packing things properly they decided to wrap some things that could have been dismantled and then charged me for the extra space. This crew of men showed up two days late with no phone call warning. They all smoked cigarettes and spent the entire time smoking and throwing their lit cigarette butts into the woods. I was moving from California to Illinois. Nothing like but a couple months before we were having major forest fires. I was quoted a little over $5000 for the job. I put down half, and was to give them the rest in cash or check. Apparently he was not happy with how much I was charged and told me that it would be 5000 just to leave the property and that there would be more charges at the other end, I said fine I knew that there might be some small charges. I was informed that the total cost in the end was going to be an additional $7000 in cash or they would hold my items hostage and they only wanted cash. Meanwhile the owner bragged about how he just purchased a BMW eight series that he had to pay for. They destroy my bed, destroyed and broke off pieces of wooden furniture that they didn’t wrap. Half the boxes showed up upside down, broken or crushed. I have a floor lamp and 2 box’s missing. I came home to take care of my mother who has since died. I moved in November and Did not have time in order to leave this review so I’m doing it now… These are criminals you don’t want them moving you.
