Father & Son Moving & Storage - holds furniture hostage until ransom is paid (ransom = 2-3x price quoted) SCAM Newark New Jersey

I only wish I read the reviews, so easily found on my search, prior to hiring Father & Son of Newark NJ / New York to move into a 5 room apt - 3 of which are bedrooms. Everything I read in the prior posts happened to me too!!

The job cost more than double then the price quoted, my furniture was held hostage,,,,I helped load and had 3 more people come to assist with the unload!!

Personnel are very personable and give you the distinct impression they are stand-up, honest folks - this couldn't be further from the truth!!! Appraiser arrived with her arm in a sling - stating her adult son knocked her down - for all I know this is part of the scam.

Damage - lots and lots of damage from my grandmother's table, to my mother's secretary, my grill - to the knob on a lamp!! The only things that weren't damage were the things I packed myself!!!

The movers didn't have tools and I was charged the 1 hr it took me to locate the tools they needed!!!

I can't say this enough - avoid Father & Son!!!
