    As you know, moving is stressful. I was originally told on the date of my scheduled move to reserve the elevator from 9-1. I did so. I received a call two days before telling me that they would be there by 11am. I let them know that I only had the elevator until 1pm, as requested by mini movers and that another tenant had it booked for later. I was told they could get it done within 2 hours. I updated the number of boxes I had packed and was then called by the representative the day of, who told me due to the update of items, 2 hours was not doable and had to have the elevator reserved until 3om. When I reminded them that they originally told me it was scheduled from 9-1, the representative blamed me because of the amount of items I had. Her solution was to want me to reschedule for 4 days later as if my move across country can easily be rescheduled. Thankfully, my landlord was able to work something out regarding the elevators. By the way, the movers were done in 2.5 hours, so my stuff was hardly the issue. Scheduling on their end was the issue. Beware, they charge by the number of items not the amount of time it takes. I would have not bothered with this review, but just today a claim was denied by their insurance company on a chair whose arm was broken by the movers packing it and was kept from me. They claimed broken prior to move, which it absolutely was not. This is why I bought the full insurance coverage.
