Because of the struggles of making a living, moving companies often are forced to use trainees and inexperienced help when making a move. The results can be catastrophic for the homeowner whose most valuable possessions have been placed in the hands of the company. Read about it in these excerpts taking from the pages of movingscam.com.
“The movers arrived within the agreed upon hours…
They didn’t protect any of our items (no wrap on fabric items like the sofa and they were extremely slow). “
If you think this is an exception read some more descriptions:
“They dropped other people’s boxes as they were shifting. They have promised 3 men, when I got 2 boys of which one just recently started. They have damaged the walls, entrance door and all that they were able to say was “don’t worry”
And here’s a third description.
“They broke the arm of one of my dining room chair (that they wrapped), dropped my tv (it now has a very large crack on it). My dining room hutch and bedroom dresser have chips now. A couple of boxes that I paid to have them pack arrived with the contents broken (nothing I packed broke). They had to remove the legs of my sofa and loveseat, and in doing so ripped the fabric. When I complained about this, I was told that they were professionals and let (them), do their work. I watched from my window as one of the delivery men loaded a dolly with 5 boxes 6 feet high, then stopped short and 4 boxes tumbled off”
Other descriptions abound of professional movers showing up with one man and requiring the assistance of the homeowners who paid for their service, to help move and lift boxes onto the truck. Even reputable moving companies will hire workers who receive only a few weeks of training before their first job. Even experienced moving help may damage your belongings as they rush to complete the packing so they can get the move underway.
