--- Beware of All My Sons Moving & Storage Fort Myers FL -- First check your local better business bureau. There are several states that have All My Sons businesses, owned by different people. They two will show up when you do a simple Internet Search for: Scams” Rip-offs, and complaints about movers and/or All My Sons specific name. Beware of the following 1. Misleading and false information in person, over the phone and in printed materials and lack of full disclosure and transparency of consumer obligations. 2 Note how many complaints you will find about “Low Ball Quotes” (commonly called “Gauging”) -- only to have the final invoice be two to three times “quoted estimate” (Bate & Switch”?) 3. Specifically request to see “CONTRACT” which five pages is usually presented upon arrival at you residence the day of moving., and not mentioned at all before that time. This puts you in a Lose-Lose position, because you must be out that day and you cannot get another mover on short notice. 4. Ask about the “Time and a half” hourly fee if the move lasts more than 8 hours, which they do not mention at all prior to day of move. Mine was estimated at 6-7 hours and ended up being 12 hours plus the one-hour travel time. Five of which charged at time and a half rates. 5. Printed materials, and verbal confirmation a to “Quilted Pads included” for all your furniture was not the case for the crew doing my move. The movers without my request or permission or knowledge, used numerous boxes and paper wraps and 20 rolls of mailing tape at a high fee. They charged more than twice the amount if purchased at Staples. Home Depot, or Lowes Hardware. (I didn’t become aware until after they had already done about half of the boxing and paper wrapping) I thought it was included as part of the “Included Quilted Pad’s” wrapping because I had specifically requested extra “Pads” for mirrors and glass tables, which they acknowledged, would be put on the truck. 6. The Florida operation states in a letter sent from the owner that they do not use day labor and only “Professional” movers. This operation subcontracts it’s labor force and the subcontractor hires his/her day helpers/laborers. 7. Upon arrival at destination, the increased invoice with added other charges is presented and you are in the position of, and told, “If you do not sign the invoice and pay, we will not unload the furniture! -- What are your choices at the end of a long day and nowhere else to go, nor any way to have another mover help you out! This Lose-Lose position is one clearly understood by the people that do moves every day of every month! - I believe this is a well-orchestrated and choreographed process from the initial contact to the “Sign/Pay or we will not unload your stuff!” 8. Florida operation states in it’s printed materials that it. “…… we have received the highest rating given by the BBB” – The BB website states they are not accredited and have a “D” rating by the BBB.
