All in One Moving and Storage - Saddle Brook NJ BEWARE THIS COMPANY THEY WILL SCREW YOU OUT OF YOUR MONEY AND DESTROY YOUR ITEMS Saddle Brook New Jersey Nationwide

We hired All in One Moving & Storage out of Saddlebrook, NJ to move TWO small rooms of items from a studio apartment in NYC to WA state. The move took place 6/17/17, arriving in WA state 6/29/17. The movers packed the items for me. I was on site and supervised the packing.

An estimate on 6/15/17 was for 331 cu.ft - the movers measured the load after packing the truck, adding 110 extra cu.ft for a total 441 cu.ft. I do NOT dispute the additional cu.ft; however, upon arrival in WA state, the load had been condensed into a reduced number of boxes that were packed in NYC. At the time of packing, there were 63 items, including 28 boxes numbered with labels #151 to #214.

All in One Moving & Storage defrauded me by charging me for a 441 cubic foot load, then condensing the load into a far smaller load--in the process, they dumped multiple boxes into one box, discarding the packing material to make it fit. They did this numerous times, with numerous boxes having two of the original labels on one box, and numerous boxes having no labels at all but with items unprotected and tossed into a single box to take up less space.

In addition to that, the condition of the load that arrived reflected severe compaction of the boxes and other articles--our load was underneath something very very heavy, crushing the caster legs of a heavy desk, an expensive bicycle with bent and crushed wheels, and boxes that were compacted and crushed.

Many boxes were dripping with motor oil, presumable from whatever had been set on top of the whole thing. We did not see the motor oil until the next day when we were unpacking boxes, but the effect of crushing was evident on the whole load.

One of the movers on the Washington end confirmed that the moving company had condensed the contents of several boxes into one, hence the multiple labels on one box.

Again, I was present in NYC and supervised the packing -- at the time the load was measured and I was charged for the larger cubic feet amount, every single box had ONE LABEL on it, not multiple labels, and the boxes were used singly and not shoved one inside the other to make two or three boxes fit into one box. I believe this moving company's practice constitute deception and fraud to cause the consumer to pay more money in cubic feet than the number of cubic feet actually moved.

Since this company charges by cubic feet and not weight, it would be very lucrative for them to do this. I realize they are liable for the damage to my items only by a much smaller measure of 60 cents per pound, but that is not the issue here. The issue is fraud and charging thousands of dollars more to the customer than the actual load is worth.
