      We had contracted with this moving company and we paid an extra $2,387.40 for "Day Certain Load" which means we were given a date when our furniture would be delivered in *********.We received a partial load on the 6th of September and the rest of our furniture on the 13th of September. The contract dates were from 8-26-22 to 9-07-22 and we feel that they did not deliver as promised.I did contact them and I was told there would not be any refund. And we also contacted our attorney and he said businesses like this know most people will not *** them for such a small amount. He recommended I write to the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint. It is so disappointing to deal with a business that is only concerned about profits and not delivering on their contracts. I did submit a negative report to the higher *** at ******* and never heard anything. THEY ARE A RIP OFF COMPANY - SENIORS AVOID THEM!!

      Anchor Moving Systems has changed management/ownership in the last two years since my last move and they no longer take exceptional care of their customer. The movers were disrespectful of my things. Freshly painted walls were marked up. I saw the movers drop boxes, and items were broke and damaged. Anchor refused to file a claim as I did not notify them in writing within 10 days of the move. I was two days late. I feel they use/hide behind the fine print in the documents they have you sign instead of taking care of their customers needs/concerns. I paid $200 for valuation coverage and they still will not file the claim for items damaged/handled by their movers not packed in boxes.Estimate/Invoice was not accurate as to the items needed for my move. My contact number was wrong on the invoice so movers were not able to contact me when they were not able to find the apartment. When I called the office on moving day to ask where the movers were, I got their voice mail which was not helpful.
