We moved locally in the middle of December 2003. I had to move quickly and did not have time to research movers so I contacted All My Sons Moving and Storage. What a mistake that was! First they told me the hourly rate that would be charged. Then without my permission, they showed up with an extra man and wanted to charge me $20.00 more per hour for the move.

I was also not told of any additional charges and at the end of a gruelling day there was a $52 appliance charge for moving the appliances. They did not disconnect or reconnect any appliances, they simply moved them. ^They damaged several pieces of furniture, doorways, floors and walls. They were constantly taking breaks. The next week I called All My Sons to ask about the procedure for filing an insurance claim. I did not take out additional insurance, another major mistake, so the insurance coverage they had was by weight.

It is now the middle of April and I am still trying to get closure on this claim. They have NEVER returned a phone call and seem very unwilling to work this out.

very sorry that Lynne is not completely satisfied with her move, we are under new managment

AUTHOR: Ruben - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, August 20, 2004

We are very sorry that Lynne is not completely satisfied with her move. First, to start with I should state that we are under new managment as of July 2004 and we are very committed to customer satisfaction.

Generally, the Company does work on an hourly basis, so if one addtional man showed up it should have reduced the total number of hours required. Similarly, because the customer is paying for the truck on an hourly basis, adding an additional man should have reduced the overall cost of the move.

All additional costs beyond the hourly rate are discussed at the time the move is booked as well as the day before when the move is confirmed. It is standard in the moving industry to charge a small appliance fee for any extra heavy objects (ex. a piano, a refrig.).

We are not plumbers, we are only movers. Therefore, we do not disconnect and reconnect appliances. We believe you would want a professional plumber or professional electrician managing your important safety issues. This issue is discussed when the move is booked to make certain the customer understands this. In addition, before the start of the move, the customer initials her understanding of this issue.

Although the movers are professionals and pack everything in the truck as carefully as possible to avoid damage, in a very small percentage of cases damage does occur. The Company will admit liability and attempt to repair any damage. In addition, the customer is entitled to one of two forms of insurance. It is standard moving industry law to reimburse customers $.60 per pound for damaged goods. Alternatively, the customer has the option to buy replacement cost insurance. Lynne acknowledges this was her mistake, she was aware of the issue. Before the move starts the customer signs a form waiving replacement cost and accepting $.60 per pound.

In closing, we do not recognize the name Lynne, but we hope she has resolved her claim by now. The Company uses an independent company to process any claims and keep the process very fair to the customer. We are committed to customer satisfaction, discussing any extra fees in advance and avoiding damage.

Sincerely,

President
