I first contacted these people in June re: a move in Aug. I spoke to a Sharon and she quoted me a price of 1100.00 - granted it was just a ballpark figure .We moved from Va. to Alabama . I then called GPS movers again . I spoke to a Jack who was very nice. I gave him the dimensions of the storage facility and the items in the unit. We have a lot of boxes, triple dresser, mirror, chest on chest dresser, couch, loveseat, aquarium, queen size mattress set and other miscellaneous items. He quoted me a price of 2200.00 with a discount of 200.00. It was to be paid in 3 allotments. They needed 600.00 to hold the truck and secure the date. On the move date , the movers called my sister ( who is in Va. with the storage key) to let her know they would be there between 7 - 10 am.

Later on, they called her again , they were lost. She found them at the Taco Bell eating lunch!! The truck had a cardboard sign duct taped on the side and the license  plate was in the front windshield!!! They got out of the truck . looked inside of the facility and told my sister they needed a check for 2400.00!!!  They claimed the weight was 8500 pounds - mind you we have moved the same furniture by ourselves  ( my husband is 63 and I am 53 ) 3 different times in his pick up truck! That's not the worst part - they would need another check for 2400.00 when they got to Alabama in addition to the 600.00 deposit they already took from our account!! They could load the truck , weigh it  - but that would also be a charge!!

Needless to say - I told them to go back to NY!!! I called the customer service line and spoke to an " Ann" - there was nothing she could do - I would need to talk to the driver "Mike" whom I just got off the phone with!! So, I then called my friendly representative "Jack", who couldn't do anything either! I asked for a supervisor which he informed me - he was and I did not need to talk to anyone else but him!! As I stated earlier, I am 53 and the manner in which he spoke to me I was totally speechless. It's amazing how these people can be so nice but when problems come up - customer service is the last on the list!! To make a long story short - these people are rip- offs. I managed to speak to another supervisor whom informed me - he couln't do nothing either  - I needed to read the contract - they need 72 hours for a cancellation!! I had absolutely no intentions on cancelling but when the price goes from 2000.00 to 4800.00 plus another 600.00 deposit - I was totally upset!  It doesn't appear that I will be getting any of my deposit back. I don't expect all of it but maybe some of it. DO NOT DO BUISNESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!
