we we robbed by these thieves! they have no listing with the BBB so it's not possible to file a complaint with them.
just had to add to my old review of July 2008 (see below) because we are moving back to Long Beach and i asked my husband how much the disaster of a move cost us when we moved here July 1, 2008.
Are you ready? - $3,800.
they had all our stuff loaded on the truck and they hit us with this news! we had no choice if we wanted our furniture! have learned what they do is load the truck with stuff to add weight then take it out after to inflate the total to ""justify"" the cost!
We had a sleeper sofa, stack w/d, iron & brass bed, mattress & b/spring, 2 folding screens, bookcase and antique cabinet - that's all the furniture. Many boxes & clothes and about 8 large picture boxes. THAT'S IT!
Today was given an estimate today ( May 18, 2010) by Cunningham Movers in writing with all costs including 14 boxes and labor to move back to Long Beach -same distance as when we came here to SF- and estimate is $2,163.

DO NO USE THEM. i have never had any moving company as bad as this one and i've moved more times than i can count. once cross country from MI to CA and stuff was in storage for 7 months and no problem. THIS MOVE WITH S.M WAS HORRIBLE! They charged way more than quoted from Long Beach CA to San Francisco and they broke the base to a $1,200 coffee table that had been through 9 moves before (yes one from MI to CA) and never a problem until this time. It was wrapped by the movers, which they charged me for (a wooden base that supports a glass top/brass trim tray top) and because it was in a box -has never been boxed before, but they insisted- it was placed in the truck and heavy boxes and other items were stacked on top of it. When i opened the box the day we moved the base was in pieces and damaged beyond repair. The mover in San Francisco said it should have never been put in a box and wrapped like that. I was given an ridiculous settlement amount and paid $155 for arbitration which decided against me because they upheld the $.60 a pound settlement offered by Super Movers. Avoid this company!
