Completely unethical business practices 9/6/2011

They don't even deserve 1 star, except the drivers helpers were very good at moving the items. As the previous reviewer stated, all the bad reviews are true. I was given a quote, which was accurate at the time. Once the furniture was loaded and transported back to Boston, they would not unload the truck unless I prepaid. That wouldn't have been a problem except they added 2 more hours to the bill. We went back and forth with the office, wasting 30 minutes. I was assured that they would ""reconcile the bill"" once the more was complete and rebate the additional $200 I had to pay. Office then tells me that an hour from the pick up destination in RI to Boston was considered LABOR. We were totally ripped off. 2 hours of travel time only counts to the pickup destination, and then at the end returning to their location. All time inbetween is considered LABOR, even if an hour of it was travel. Original estimate was $400, final charge $600, with NO rebate. 40 more minutes disputing paying the additional 2 hours, when only 45 minutes was left to unload. Complete ripoff of student movers. They stood outside and closed the truck until I agreed to sign the authorization to pay in full, even though it was 2 additional hours that they hadn't worked.\r NEVER would I use them again.
