storage/moving companies (rant)

Recommended Posts

Tell me how it is possible for my furniture when it is supposed to be in storage in Miami, is on a truck in Georgia? I was told it was to be delivered today and then I was told 8-9pm this evening. I call back at 9pm and the lady is now telling me two days.
I am not the type to take that as the answer so I told the lady I want an answer why my furniture is on a truck in georgia and why I am getting the run around. She tells me that is not her job and I have to call back in the morning. The not my job part pissed me off and I told her to wake someone up or I would be a 5 minute caller all night until I have an exact time and date of delivery, and know why my furniture is in another state.
About 10 minutes pass and the one of owner calls me back. She tells me the date and time is for Thursday and the other lady thought I was someone else. Not possible, when I gave my acct number and the other girl varified my phone number and address.
Someone screwed up with something and all I want is my stuff....

Oh, and they were trying to charge me an extra 550 dollars and thought I would pay it. They changed the original invoice and emailed me the amount due. I paid a flat rate no hidden costs.

Never again will I use a moving company. I will pay for a moving truck and drive it myself or sell everything and buy new.

You're a feisty one tonight :)

Probably would have been much easier to rent a truck and hire someone to load/unload it in each place.

Although, I used a moving company the last time I moved. I was there when they took my shit, they followed me to my new place, and I was there when they unloaded my shit.

Why did they have your stuff in storage?

You girls must just have bad luck with moving companies. Lazy people like myself wouldn't know what to do without them.



I don't move. No problems. :D


Yeah, I'm sure you've lived in the same place your entire life :)

You didn't want to put your furniture on her porch like they do in rural KY?

I always hate to ask someone help me move in fear of them wanting me to return the favor some day.

Seen a thing on tv a long while back.
They warehouse/move your stuff and then try to charge you storage and transportation fees on it.
Stick to your guns and don't let them bluff you.
You did read the fine print in the contract first?

And they jack up the prices waaay beyond what they said it would cost, then hold your stuff hostage.
I saw an investigative report some years ago where they hired various companies to move one of their reporters.
I can't recall if any of the companies were legit.

Yeah I saw something like that too. Your stuff is probably half way around the world in another storage unit waiting to be sold on craigslist Deedy :)

We're thinking of the same report.
Nightline, 20-20, or one of those.

You have to get out the magnifying glass and read the fine print. (at least at my age) ;)

The bigger, more legit companies, with a better? legal department are one of the bigger hosers?

Hope it works out for her.

What portion of the chair is equipped with the massage mechanism?

Instead of rubbing it in, could you provide our skysister with some of your accumulated wisdom?
For her sake. Please.

It is a heated vibrating massage chair that reclines. Not a naughty chair...:P

The companies are legitimate companies, what ever that means. :(
They have worked out certain angles, or is that angels? with legal. [:/]:|

Yeah ... It's probably just another company with poor customer service because the people who answer the phones are either in India or are getting paid 7 dollars per hour or both.
