We recently moved to Destin, Flordia and used MoveDaddy.com. We looked at their website and had them to come to our house and give us a quote. They were very nice until our furniture was on their trucks, then their attitude changed! They doubled the price from 2,500 to 4,500. ( the problem arose because they misjudged the amount of stuff that we had to move- but the manager insisted that it would only take 1 truck- we asked several times- "are you sure") When we question the up charge, the owner, Shawn Payton, became furious and extremely rude! He demanded that we pay the full amount in cash or he would instruct his employees to turn around, put our furniture in a secret storage place, and wouldn't deliver it for another 10 days which would jump the price up to 10,000! We called the Destin police and they informed us that they couldn't get involved because it was a "civil case"! It seemed that "moveDaddy.com was experienced in pulling this scam! The owner didn't care that there were no banks open on Saturday. He called He had his trucks to turn around 15 minutes from our house in Destin and took it back to Birmingham! We had gotten the cash wired from American Express and we begged him over to deliver our stuff but he was angry at us for calling the police. He screamed obsensities, called us liars and refused to listen to anything! Their website looks very impressive but "Please BeWare"!
