  Hello,

  We always ask to send us pictures once house is packed .After reviewing the pictures with all the boxes being packed already.

  We advised customer that 26 footer truck may not be enough to fit everything.

  Customer ask if we will be able help her and   drive uhaul truck she will be renting we said no problem we can help loading unloading and driving uhaul truck at no additional cost.

  I just want to remind that we did not change our flat rate we agreed on.

  Additional cost we talking about is for gas and rental fee of the uhaul truck customer rented herself an addition to 26 footer truck we provided upon our agreement..

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: The business did not say that photos would be required and that there could be an adjustment to the contract. Instead, as per the submitted documents, they provided a quote and made a firm commitment stating that the 26 foot truck would be sufficient for the contents and that there would be no additional charges. They changed the cost involved without any caution at the time of the contract commitment that they might do so. As such, they provided the contract in bad faith since they are now suggesting that they typically ask for pictures and give a firm quote closer to the date. As you can see by my documents, that is completely contradictory to what they said at the time of the quote. 
  
  Sincerely,

  More info

  I used Ottawa Pro Movers to move between two One bedroom Apartments. In advance, I spoke with the owner and asked for the costing and was told a flat $120 / hour. I called back and got confirmation of the flat $120 / hour. I also asked if they were insured against damage and was assured that they were. After the move I was hit with $200 with hidden fees that weren’t previously discussed. I went with the company because they didn’t have these added fees that other companies were transparent about. After the move I found many of my belongings were damaged or broken. Frustratingly, many of the broken items were organized into the a grouping that I explained needed more care. These included a standing light, a lamp, my computer, a bookshelf, a mirror. In addition to these items, things were treated with such a lack of care, that even a round pan was bent to the point that part of it was flattened out on one side. After taking account of everything that was broken, I called the owner. In that conversation he kept changing his language. He flipped between saying that he had insurance and that he didn’t have insurance. At times explaining that he had coverage, not insurance. Saying that he only had the bare minimum coverage that was legally required of him, which would compensate me for at a rate of 6 cents per pound. My $1000 laptop’s screen was broken and I found it in multiple pieces. Using this formula, I would be offered 18 cents for my laptop. In the follow-up conversation, I was being dismissed and pointed to his website which explained points that were completely misrepresented in the two conversations leading up to the move. Between the hidden fees, misrepresentation of the insurance, and costly damage that I experienced, followed by the lack of ownership in attempting to make this right, I am incredibly disappointed and feel conned. I have a far more expensive bill than was agreed upon and over $1000 dollars in damages that I'm currently being asked to cover.
