Worst Moving Experience Of My Life

Submitted this review about National Relocation Van Lines
Review made Live: 7/6/2015 2:46:00 PM
My experience with this company was horrible. The first offense was when they doubled the quoted price they gave me after all my stuff was already on the moving truck, they claimed the price is often higher because of extra boxes. I had 4 extra boxes and they tried to charge me $2,000 more. The estimate was $2450, the attempted to raise the price to over $4500. I talked them down to $3,300 feeling I had no choice because they already had my stuff. The next issue was scheduling the delivery date. I needed to get permits for the town to mark off parking for the truck and they needed a delivery date. I scheduled this for June 27th (though my contract said July 1-6). I asked if it would be a problem that is was not in the contract window and they said no. Two days before the move I left two voicemails to see if they were going to come, then I had to call at least 4 times (I think more) the day before the move to find out they were not coming. The move was bumped to the following Thursday, then Friday, then Sunday- I had to call each time to find out they were not coming. They came on Sunday and demanded cash before removing my things from the truck (clearly a tactic so you cannot withhold payment if your things are lost or damaged). Upon receiving my things 2 chairs were broken and cannot be used, two glass table tops were missing and when I asked the movers they stated perhaps they were packed in a box (they were not), they brought in 2 things that were not mine, including a glass picture that was shattered and glass was all over my floor. My bike handles are sideways and this may not be able to be repaired (I do not have the tool to even check, so I will need to take this to a bike repair shop). A glass was broken. They trudged dirt on a light carpet on a sunny day (because the furniture was clearly stored in mud (the bottom was clean when they took it form a white carpeted room). The boxes looked as if they had been thrown, even those marked fragile. I called to ask for compensation for the damage and have not received a phone call back. I sent an email with pictures of the damage and have not been contacted back.
