Review content:
he movers were great, but the company is either run by a bunch of idiots or they are scamming people. Do not use them. Their pricing was certainly fair, but they failed to inform me that they only take a certified check or cash. When the truck was half emptied at my new place they demanded cash or certified check and I was told they would take my remaining belongings to storage and hold them hostage until I paid them in cash. This was Friday evening at 6 o'clock! Only by chance was I able to come with the $600+ in cash. What a nightmare. Talk about stressful. The workmen were polite and gave 110% effort, but they were being ordered to take my furniture to storage if I did not come up with the cash. Scam, in order to rake more money in for storage, etc? Not sure. But at the very least this was bozo, idiotic, amateurish behavior. Don't risk it, there are plenty of other movers out there who want your business and won't threaten to take your belongings. They never even claimed they told me they only accept certified check or cash. And, they were charging by the hour, so how can you pay with a certified check when the costs have not been pre-determined?. I am going to report my experience to Angie's list, the BBB, and every other source I can think of.
