Moving Staffers Company Pods uses to move you I would never use Moving Staffers again to move......very dissapointing Wichita Falls Texas

 I used Pods to move my furniture for a local move.  They suggested I call moving staffers (that is who they recommend to help you with your move).  They are supposed to move your items from the home to the pods.  The price they quoted was 1384.00 for the first complete move.  The price was to wrap all my furniture and put it in pods along with my boxes that I had already packed.  This sounded great, at the end of the move I had the option to use them again......this is where story goes bad. 

I told the lady I spoke with that we had very nice furniture (most from Furniture Land South in High Point NC).  She said no problem, movers would wrap each piece and take very good care of furniture.  When moving company showed up they had paper rolls..............yes paper rolls to wrap our furniture.  Now it doesn't take a genius to know that paper wrapped furniture is not going to protect it at all.  I told them that in order to do the job, they would need actual furniture blankets.  They had them at the shop, not sure why they showed up with paper in the first place. 

Anyways, they wrapped the furniture in blankets....very good actually.  I had wrapped each picture that I had in double bubble wrap and shrink wrapped it as well.....so that each picture was good and protected.  The moving company told me I should have them put those pictures in cardboard to give them extra protection........they didn't say it would cost any more or caution me either.  I said sure, go ahead and put them in there if you think it will help...but I said I don't really see the need they are protected very well.  The mover said, well it will help and it is no big deal for us to do it.  Perfect, I thought wow, these guys really care about my furniture. 

Anyways, the move went fine they packed the pods very well, I tipped each person 40.00 (total of 5 guys).  Then they gave me this form to sign.........they went through real quick and told me to initial boxes.  I asked what I was inititaling, they said "this is what we did for you".  I said ok.........I just received an email from Movingstaffers.com and in it I received another charge for excess wrapping of pictures.  I called them and told them noone told me about an additional charge, the lady said anytime we have to box pictures it is additional. 

I told them I understand that, but someone should have told me that before this.  I told them that all my pictures were already protected and I just did it because of the reccomendation of the moving company.  She told me she couldn't help me......basically for 12 boxes I got charged an additional $400.00..........what a ripoff.........hence the reason I am here at this site.  Be cautious when using this company, there are hidden fees and reports all over the internet about them doing the same types of things.........I wish I would have done some research before using them.  Next move I will be calling a full service company to take care of my belongings.
