    -I hired COFFEY **** to move my items on 4/17/2024 -I gave a detail account of all of my ********************** items to the sales manager *************************** -I made sure to tell him all the items were in a storage facility and they were professionally packed and wrapped by the previous moving company.*************************** gave me an estimate of $825 for 4 hours and 2 movers to move items less than the size of a 1BR apartment.The movers purposely waste time and it took them 3 hours to move everything into the truck. All items were professionally packed, the storage facility had a big elevator to fit plenty of items and moving carts to move items faster.The prior moving company took only 1 hour and 20 mins with 2 movers The movers kept calling their boss to add made up charges to the bill claiming they "special wrap" several items that were already professionally wrapped. Claiming they used 12 roles of tape at $5 a roll. When they only used 3 rolls of tape.Once we got to the move in destination the movers said that they won't unload the items until we pay them first. I asked for the total and i saw they were lying trying to increase the total to $1300+I called COFFEY ****, I told them they added $450+ claiming they had special wrapped items that were already wrapped and charging for materials they didnt use and now we were wasting time trying to fix the total. The person on the phone said i wouldnt be charged for the time. Then manager ************************* got on the phone and tried to sell me that they had special wrap several items including my 75 inch tv. I told him the ** was brand new, sealed in a box and proved they were trying to scam me. He then removed a few of the fees but not all. But then he charged me 1 hour extra for the time that we wasted correcting the total. I let him know it wasnt my fault I had to spend 1 hour on the phone trying to correct the total and it was they mistake but ****** didnt care They extorted my 70 yr old mom into paying or keeping her items

    I have some grave concerns in regards to deceit, billing, and property damage. I went into our home and I asked the gentlemen what happened to the light and he stated, Oh, we took off to move the furniture, but we will put it back up I was quoted $1,953.00 for the move The movers moved our items to the new house and before the moving off of the truck began, ***** stated that there was a contract that had to be done or the furniture could not get moved off the truck. He showed me his Ipad and showed me a total for the bill $2,678.75; and I took a picture of what was on the ipad ( at first) I was struggling to get it transferred. It took me about 1 hour to get everything set up and then ***** suggested *****.After the move was completed he then changed the bill to $2,826.44 which I am also attaching and- I paid it. I was extremely confused why it was changed in under 1 hour?!After the struggling with the Venmo all I had was cash and told him I had $339 for the tip Edgar then said, whoa, whoa, we had talked about a %20 tip. My husband then stated that $339 was a good them and then he stated well, your wife walked about a 20% tip so my husband ******* the rest. I was then was pressured to write a ****** review as he would not leave until I did so due to the office wanting to see them and told me to mention all of their names. Lastly, property damage was discovered. The movers shattered our entryway light in the home and lied to me outright when I asked then what happened to light. I understand that I signed a waiver that property can break, but intentional hiding, lying, and sneaking in a different story. I came home to clean our home and found pieces of glass in the entryway. My husband looked in the garbage and found more glass in the garbage. I was charged an astronomical amount upon arrival to the move of our home before they move the items and then was given a final amount for a completely different amount a third time. No one has contacted me.
