LV Moving Co. Held our stuff hostage and forced us to pay, pay, pay Las Vegas Nevada

Their employee, Adam, promised me, in no uncertain terms, our goods would be delivered within three days and that the 26ft. truck they were delivering in would have no problem getting to our new home. Two days before our promised pick up day, I had to call and email to find out when they would be at our house.  In response I received an email stating they would pick up in five days!  After more calls and emails, that was corrected.

 
At pickup time, the driver immediately goes into a scam pitch..."they didn't count right, you have too many small boxes, too many pictures, too much glass.  They have to use extra packing material," blah, blah.  Can't argue since we have to get moved and on the road, so we tell him to do his best.  Massive wrapping and packing effort begins, a few things get tipped over and/or dropped, no major damage.  Everything is loaded and driver says we should have our stuff in a couple of days...BUT..."remember, we have up to 24 days to deliver".  Ok, Ok, but we have a promise of 2 -3 days, no worry.

We get to our destination (302 miles away) the next day, Saturday.  Sunday, a man with a thick, "eastern european" accent, calls to say they'll be delivering our things later in the day.  Nobody shows up or calls by Monday, so we call Monday afternoon.  Same guy (we think?) tells us he is really close to our place.  Says he has a 70 foot tracktor-trailer, "will that be a problem".  What?? Are you kidding me!?  What happened to the promised 26 foot truck.   Blah, blah, blah...ain't going to happen.  "Here's what you'll have to do...pay us $440 and we'll get a shuttle, load your stuff on it and come to your place and unload it."  "You have to pay cash for this and it's in addition to the $1600 you owe us right now.  When can you be here, we're really close to where you live?"  We ask where they are but are given the run around.  Then the man with the accent says, "if you can't do that then you can rent a van yourself, bring it here, we'll unload our trailer into your van and come with you to unload it at your place, but it's going to cost you $220 more."  "If you can't do that, we'll take the load back to Vegas but I don't know when we will come back"  
So, at 6:45PM, we scramble to find an open Uhaul center, just getting the last 26 ft. truck within a 100 miles around.  Then we call to say we've got the uhaul and are finally told the 70 foot trailer is at a trucking center, 4o frigging miles away from us. Now, having rented a truck close to us, we have to drive it 80 miles round trip, at $.79 a mile, costing us even more.

Bottom line, cost above their estimate, $500 plus.  All of their charges had to be paid in cash, except for the initial deposit of under $200; that really leaves us with no recourse to get any of our money back.

Finally got all our stuff (we think...haven't unpacked everything yet, so far only a couple of pieces of glass broken, fingers crossed there's nothing else).

DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.
