Jet Movers Inc, aka Move @ Once, aka Elite Van Lines Moving & Storage Company, Own by two brothers, ripoff By Florida's Con Artist Moving Company's consumer fraud ripoff Sunrise Florida

I have just spoken to my best friend who moved to Tampa earlier this month using Jet Movers. So far, she still has not received her belongings, keeps getting the runaround, and has no change of clothes (she has to keep washing the same clothes that she kept in her car over and over again). Not to mention, she was originally told $600 dollars, she's already paid them $200 and now they're telling here she owes $1300 upon delivery. If Jet movers is so on the up and up, why are the same things happening over and over again regardless of who has used you? How would you or any of your employees feel if they had no change of clothes and were starting a new job in the next three days and had been waiting for YOUR belongings for almost a month. She only moved from Miami.

Hi, This is Simon again. Im responding to these comments and complaints because they are correct and I want to clear them up. We do tell the client what needs packing. As a matter of fact we fax to the client a list of items that need packing and the prices it costs. We tell them that we include blankets and tape and everything above that will be extra such as tvs china cabinets and anything fragile.

We actually give them a 10% discount if they notify us before the day of the move that they need these things. We also give binding quotes not binding estimates. We will never charge you extra for items that you told us you have regardless os size or pounds. We dont ask you the weight of the items or the dimensions of the items so there is no way that we would no the cubic feet or the pounds. Thats why we give you a quote based on your list.

If you tell us that you have a secretary desk for example regardless of the size of the desk or the weight of the desk we have to take the desk but if you tell us that we have to take 10 boxes and you have 11 boxes you will pay for that extra box. Thats a change in inventory not in size. Unfortunatley there are a lot of companies that give this business a bad name but we are not one of them.

There are a lot of customers that dont read there contracts or dont listen to anything but the price which is not the way to do things. We give the customer all the oppertunity to get his/her final price over the phone but they dont want to make sure that their information is correct and thats when they get into trouble and start blaming the company for their mistakes. Be careful dont go with companies that work by pounds or cubic feet those quotes are just estimates.

Only move with companies that will take the inventory you give them for the price that they give you. Make sure you did not forget ANYTHING and dont limit yourself to visual estimates, first that means that you will only get quotes from local companies and large companies that are based somewhere else wont compete for your business and wont give you better prices from someone who is small and cant afford to travel long distances because he has nothing to comeback with and (2) even if you get a visual and the give you a "guaranteed quote" based on pounds or cubic feet they are only estimating they wont weigh or measure your stuff at the visual with a scale or a ruler.
THANK YOU,

After reading your response simon I must say I think your company is not about trying to satisfy
any of your customers.

I've worked in the moving industry in florida for the past 12 years and seen many scam companies like your give customers
low ball estimates and then go and rip them off with extra cu ft and packing charges and then always say it is because the customer didn't tell you about items or you didn't know there could have been packing at the origin.

You're the movers, you know how tv should be packed the customer doesn't know that a mover will use bubble wrap and a box to cover the screen. So why do you have your rep explain it to them. Tell them the way it needs to be wrapped so they can do it prior to picking up the items or what you charge for doing then let them decided. Along with other items like curios, items with glass ect. Or why before the supervisor on the job doesn't tell the customer when he arrives that extra packing is required and tell them up front what the cost is?the reason you don't give them the info they need to know is because you pray on the internet customer.

You prey on a person who doesn't know how thing are done. That's why companies like yours charge by the cu ft., because you know there is no way to prove the actual. The average person doesn't know how to measure the cu ft. inside the truck so you can tell them anything. Also if your company is all about customer satifaction why don'y you tell us why your company has 63 bbb reports in 36 months and 20 of them are about your sales practice. And don't tell me your company resolved them, because we all know all you have to do is write a response letter to the complant and the bbb will close the file. The reason is your company scams customer and will probly continue to do so until the dot finally steps in.

A little advice for anyone who reads this and is going to be moving. ONLY get a company that is willing to do a visual estimate. Is willing to give you a binding estimate. The qoutes may seem a little higher than these internet companies, but they are less exspensive in the end. If people need stop useing these internet predator companies.

Dear Consumers.
My name is Simon Itah and I am a partner in Jet Movers Inc. I would first like to say that we are not affiliated with any other moving company such as move@once or Elite van lines. We are just Jet Movers Inc. We are not owned by 2 brothers, and we do not rip off anyone. There are a few reasons that prices may change at pick up. Ill explain briefly the process that goes into booking a job with jet movers.

We first must receive your inventory list in order to come up with the size of your move. We also ask you if there is packing that needs to be done. We include blankets and tape. We do not assume that if you have a t.v. that we would need to pack it with bubble and a box. Some customers ask us to pack it and some dont. We ask you if you need anything packed if you do you let us know and we give you a price. If you dont let us know then at the date of the move you will have an additional charge. Same thing with additional inventory items that are not on the original list of items that you sent to us. If there are additional items then there will be additional cost the day of the move.

In this customers case there were both packing that needed to be done and additional items that were not on the list. We understand that you dont know everything that you will move weeks before the move so we suggest to you that you call us a couple of days prior to the move date and update your list.

We also suggest that you tell us everything even things that you think are not worth mentioning let us decide. Tell us every detail and we shall decide what needs to be on or off. We then send you a copy to confirm that all you told us is on the contract you in return sign it and fax it back to us. That way there are no misunderstandings.

As far as getting back in contact with your sales personal that is not possible or suggested after the day of pick up. The sales person has no access to your file after the day of pick up. Thats why we have dispatchers and managers that are always available.

Our delivery schedual is mentioned to the customer prior to us taking any deposit and it is also mentioned in our contracts. We do not know more then 48 hrs. prior to your delivery when its going to be so we call you at least 48 hrs in advance prior to your del.

In closing im going to say that Jet Movers is a well respected company and we are her to offer only the best service, price and customer service to our clients with no exception. We are aware the we will not be able to satisfiy all our customers but as long as we do what our contract states and our customers have access to our contractsprior to reserving there jobs with us then we have done our part. That might not be enough to all but it usually is to most.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
