First of all, they had quoted us on the phone that the total charge would be about $480.  The balance due ended up being $1,708!  I can understand being off by an hour or two, but to be off by 5.5 hours is ridiculous!  Also, they charged an hour "travel charge" of $118, which they never mentioned when quoting us on the phone.  Arizona "Discount" Movers...what a joke.


The movers were Gary, Marcos, Jacob, and Bubba, and they showed up late, they were very slow, and it seemed like they took a 15 minute break every hour.  It took them 9.5 hours and we had moved the year prior and it took three guys, 3 hours to load the same size truck.  Granted, they did do some packing for us as well, but that shouldn't have added 6.5 hours x 4 people to do!

They also smoked a lot of cigarettes (while moving things), left trash outside the house, and they even left some items behind, which we had to pay to have shipped out later.


All of the above is reason enough to complain about their service, but wait, theres more.



When I unpacked all my stuff, I noticed my Xbox 360, Wii game console, all the wireless controllers, and several games were missing!  There is no explanation other than someone on their crew stole my stuff.  They knew we were moving out of state, so I think they figured they could take advantage of the situation.



I called to complain and I sent a letter to Larry Pattenaude and they have given me the run around since.  I get the feeling that they think they can just ignore me and I will go away.  It has been over 2 months since my initial complaint.

Do not use these guys!  They will rip you off twice!  Once, when you get the bill and again, when you get to your new place and realize some of your stuff is missing!

New Owner Resolved My Complaint

AUTHOR: Losing Faith - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, May 22, 2010

The new owner was unaware of my complaint, but as soon as she found out about it, she called me personally to resolve it.


She has cleaned house and we have come to a resolution.  If there was any way I could remove my original report, I would.  Please disregard my report, because the company is under new ownership and the people responsible for my complaint are no longer there.

I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

To quote the owner of Ripoff Report:
"ALL BUSINESSES WILL GET COMPLAINTS   ..HOW A BUSINESS TAKES CARE OF THOSE COMPLAINTS SEPARATES GOOD BUSINESSES FROM BAD BUSINESSES. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THEM TO SHOW HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.."

The new owner has definitely shown that she is running a good business.
