  1. Did you hire the moving helpers with U-Haul or did you contact them separately? No they were part of the uhaul reservation. But apparently u haul takes no responsibility for the. Even tho it was booked thru uhaul. 

  
  

  2. Would you please provide a copy of your contract with U-Haul and with Alberta First Helpers? Yes

  
  

  3. Did you get insurance cover for the rental equipment and your property? Would you please provide your receipt? Just whatever comes with uhaul

   

  
  

  4. Is there a email I can foward all this too? Trying to go back and forth to screen shot it all is getting messed up

  I rescued a uhaul and on the website you can pay extra to have moved come out to move you. The movers dammaged our stuff and the rental. I contacted the owner he said he would help me then blocked me. Uhaul said tough luck to deal with him. So I have no way to get my money back or dammages paid for.

It is always our hope that by providing this marketplace, both parties will walk away satisfied with the outcome; however, we understand sometimes issues arise.

  I hired KMJ Junk Removal through U-Hauls Moving Help marketplace to provide moving labor. On 07/31/25, their crew packed our truck negligently, laying one flat-screen television flat on its back, placing one inside our couches, and tightly taping cushions to both TVs, which caused damaging tension and broke the ****** liability waiver was signed, and they failed to provide the certificate of liability insurance that my landlord required.After I filed a dispute through MovingHelp, customer service promised both a refund of the job and reimbursement for the damages. In a phone call, the owner (****) stated a check had already been mailed (despite not even asking who he was speaking to or for my case number and failing to provide any tracking), but no payment has ever been received. In the customer service messages, ********************** staff repeated my report that **** claimed he sent a check. MovingHelp customer service has also reached out to **** but he refuses to respond and has blocked my number.U-Haul/MovingHelp confirmed in writing that the owner said he was sending a check, but they cannot force the payment. This companys actions amount to negligence and deceptive practices. They caused property damage, admitted responsibility, promised restitution, and then failed to follow through.I am requesting a full refund of the moving job and reimbursement for the value of the damaged televisions.

  I ordered moving help from U-Hauls website. Day of the movers canceled on me due to rain after my U-haul has been retrieved. They told me to cancel my job to get reimbursed. Then told they could do it possible get paid through *****. The whole thing was shady and left me without movers day of.I had an injury, and still had to move myself with no help, in the rain. It set me data back in my move due to my injury being worsened and needing recovery before begin unloading my things.Using this service worsened an already bad injury, the move took 3x longer, and set me back days in my move.The least they could do is refund the U-Haul, if not cover any medical expenses I now need to spend.

  We do show that you have been provided a full refund of $694.95 by Moving Help for the service when that cancellation was processed on 10/4. If you are seeking any additional compensation beyond the full refund that would be something you would need to pursue directly from the responsible Service Provider. Unfortunately, MovingHelp.com cannot require that the individually owned and operated company pay you any sort of restitution.

However, when I called the company, they said that they could not come due being in another appointment, therefore they told me that they have to cancel. However, my card was never refunded. I called them and they said It would ge refunded. But after almost a month the charge is not refunded.

  We apologize for your experience with the Service Provider. We do show that a full refund of the $255.95 that was charged for the service JB-21ef8bcb on 9/9/25 was refunded back to your Master Card that same day when the cancellation was processed. Refunds for both the $250 Service Fee and the $5.95 Handling Fee were issued back to your card on 9/9 and should have posted within 3-7 business days from that point. If you have not yet seen those two refunded amounts appear back in your account we would recommend contacting your financial institution directly for clarification and assistance.

  I had a **** delivered to *****. At the time of booking, i was very clear that I wasnt 100% sure of my final destination and was told with moving help, i can hire a team to bring the ubox down and unload it. I have now hired 3 crews over the past month and all 3 have suddenly have vehicle issues on the night prior or the day of service. They keep rescheduling and i keep buying new parking permits and clearing my schedule for the entire day of delivery. Meanwhile, i am getting charged for storage through uhaul and they keep referring me to moving help, who keeps scheduling companies who cant complete the job. I just want my stuff delivered

  Please accept our deepest apology for any difficulty or inconvenience you may have encountered with your service providers.

That refund was issued back to your card on 10/3 and should post within 3-7 business days from that point.

  ****** hired U-Haul to move some furniture from ************** to *************. U-Haul contracted with a partner to load the furniture into U-Haul's Box. The partner then put a lock on the box and charged ****** *****. When the Box was delivered to the homeowner in ************, there was no key to the lock on the Box. The homeowner had to pay ***** to remove the lock. Seems like a scam to me. ****** would like to be reimbursed for ******.

  I contacted UHaul to rent 2 UBoxes to move from ** to ** and also used their services provided at movinghelp.com to hire movers to load the 2 UBoxes. The ***** representative that I spoke with when I placed the order assured me that I could rely on the moving help advertised on the movinghelp.com website. With the ***** representatives recommendation, I reserved The Careful Movers located in ********, ** to load the contents of my apartment into the 2 UBoxes, as well as transporting the UBoxes to my apartment and then back to the ***** location to be shipped to the destination.There were many issues with the moving help that The Careful Movers provided. They did not use the protective padding to protect my furniture and jammed the furniture together so when it arrived in **, I had damage to 2 pieces of furniture. There were 24 furniture pads provided per UBox (48 total) but only 8 pads were found when the UBoxes arrived. I reached out to *****, Movinghelp.com, and The Careful Movers. After many emails, The Careful Movers agreed to refund to me the amount that I paid to them and Movinghelp.com agreed to refund the portion of the payment that they keep from the total amount that I paid. The Careful Movers asked me how I would like to receive my refund and I indicated I would like to receive a check and gave them my current address. They told me they would process the refund in 2-3 business days. After almost 2 weeks, I did not receive the check so I reached out to them again. After 2 more emails, he pretended that he still needed to know how I would like for him to process the refund (i.e., Venmo, ******, etc.) and he would process the refund immediately. Since I didnt want to wait any longer, I gave him my Venmo information. That was 2 days ago and I have not received the refund. I have emailed him twice and sent him a text message, but no response and now they keep ignorning me. I have attached the email exchange with the refund agreement.

  Please accept our deepest apology for the difficulty and inconvenience you have encountered with your service provider. Based on the email documentation you have provided from The Careful Movers where they have confirmed that they will be issuing a refund for their portion of the Moving Help payment, we have issued a refund for our Marketplace Fee amount back to your Master Card. Our refund of $53.52 has been issued back to your card and should post within 3-7 business days.

  We are also contacting the Service Provider to ask about the status of the refund they have promised. As the Service Provider is their own independent entity and are not our employees we do not have an ability to force them to provide a refund of the 269.98 that they received to you, but they are being advised that failure to honor the agreements that they have made will result in a review of their account on our Marketplace. Hopefully they do contact you soon to provide you with that $268.98 refund. If that Service Provider continues to be unresponsive or refuses to provide that refund to you, please let us know by email at ********************************** for us to further review the helper's account.

  On 8/11/25, I hired ******** through U-Hauls Moving Help platform for 3 hours of loading/unloading. The night before, *** called via TTDY to confirm, but did not inform me he would be one of the movers and fully hearing impaired. On moving day, *** and **** arrived; they primarily communicated through sign language, which made giving directions difficult. I had warned them in advance there were many boxes and that the house was chaotic. I also apologized several times, as my son-in-law (who was supposed to help) canceled last ********* the end of the initial 3 hours, they said they needed 2 more hours. I agreed, but once approved, their pace slowed significantly. After loading, we drove to my new home. With ~45 minutes left in the 2-hour extension, they told me it would take another 45 hours to finish. I could not afford this. At the end of the 2 hours, I believed the job was complete, so I paid them directly via Venmo **************** (off-platform).After they left, I discovered half the truck was still full, including the heaviest items. My husband, who was already working 10-hour shifts, had to unload everything himself over several hours, with only limited help from me (physical restrictions) and none from our child (injured knee).I later learned that all extra hours should have been processed through U-Hauls system at a lower rate. The money I paid off-platform would have covered multiple additional hours if handled properly. Instead, I overpaid, the movers violated U-Hauls rules, and they left the job unfinished.Requested Resolution:Review ******** for misconduct.Reimbursement or credit for services not rendered.Assurance that Moving Help rules are enforced to protect future customers.

  We apologize again for the experience that you had with the Service Provider. Your feedback regarding the Service Provider accepting payment for additional services outside of the Marketplace has been noted for us to review the Service Provider's account. The ****** review you had submitted for the helpers does also appear on the MovingHelp.com site and does negatively impact the helper's rating on the Marketplace.
  
  Unfortunately regarding a refund for any additional payments made directly for the Moving Helper for incomplete services that would need to come from them directly as they are in possession of those funds. We do see you opened a ***************** case to which those helpers responded and declined to provide a refund. If the responsible Service Provider is refusing to resolve the issue with you then unfortunately the next step may be to take legal action against those helpers if you choose to do so. You can utilize the business information for ITEMS ** that we have provided to you in our previous communications to assist with that process.
  
  Thank you for informing us about your experience. We strive to provide excellent service to our customers and will utilize your feedback to prevent any recurrence. We realize that this is a service industry and our customers deserve the best.

  ***** and ***** came with the uhaul box. They didn't bring both boxes together. Per ***** it was uhaul's mistake. I met them at the leasing office directed ***** (the driver) to the loading dock with the complex map. ***** was tasked to move the things to the apartment while ***** went back. ***** was awesome with his tasks.***** was carrying a gun which the building management saw as soon as he stepped out of the car and advised him to conceal it. I was absolutely not comfortable with this but did not feel safe to argue.Furthermore, before pulling into the loading dock, apparently ***** decided to sneak enter the residential garage, with uhaul, behind another resident. The garage clearance is 8 ft 2in, uhaul in the front is 8 feet 6in. He ended up slamming and damaging the door at *****am. Building has video of this. He argued with building management the uhaul was clear. He had not license plates on his car, a temporary tag which was hard to read behind a tinted windows. Overall, he is responsible for the damage but refused to take ownership or provide any insurance information.Per MovingHelp.com they do not screen the contractors or confirm if they've insurance, nor complete a background check. They also do not provide contractor information until you pay for job plus ~$6 fee, so you are unable to confirm this information with contractor prior to reservation. Even ***** Lyft, and other delivery survives do some due delugence to assure some customer safety. Here we have people in our home with our family and address for future them to retaliate in the future with no concern/responsibility for uhaul.

  Please accept our deepest apology for the difficulty and inconvenience you may have encountered with your service provider. We have responded to your direct email with information on how to pursue the responsible Service Provider for compensation for the damages they caused and have communicated with them directly asking that they reach out to you directly to get the issue resolved.
  
  If the Service Provider is unwilling to resolve your issue, your next available step is to pursue the Moving help provider outside of MovingHelp.com through the appropriate legal channels. Our email did include all of the business information we have on file for the Service Provider. Unfortunately, MovingHelp.com cannot require that the individually owned and operated company pay you any sort of restitution. MovingHelp.com only provides the web site needed to connect individually owned, independent service providers with their local customer.
  
  You do also have 60 days from the scheduled service date of 9/6 to open a ***************** case with the helpers in order to communicate with them about potential compensation, and also to submit a review for their services. The instructions for both are also included in our email.

  7/26/25 I made a reservation online for a rental truck from *****. As part of the reservation process, I was offered to hire a professional moving company in the same transaction. I selected the company that had the best reviews and paid for two hours. 7/27/25 I contacted the phone number provided by the Uhaul confirmation and left a voice mail advising that I had booked the services online, I was moving on 8/9/25 and I was wanting the movers to arrive between 1-2 PM. Later that day I received a vague text message indicating they had me on the schedule and asking a few basic questions about the move such as heavy items and stairs. The week of 8/9/25 I texted the same number a few times just to confirm the arrival time, and at one point the person told me they would "send me a confirmation," but I never received any documents or emails from anyone. On the day of the move we were ahead of schedule and arrived at the unloading location around 11:30 AM. I texted that we were already at the unloading location and if the movers were available to arrive earlier they could, or we would wait until the original start time to unload. I received a text response that they had me scheduled for 8/10/25 and would be arriving around 2 PM on that day.The truck reservation was for 8 AM- 7 PM on 8/9/25 and was to be returned on 8/9/25, which meant there was no way to unload the truck on 8/10/25. At no point in my booking or communication processes did I indicate that my moving date was flexible. A woman called me from the same number I had been texting, and this is the first time I had any verbal communication with this company, ***************. She said that they never received any information from Uhaul and they always thought the move was supposed to be on 8/10/25, which is not what we had discussed via text prior. She said she would "see what she could do." No one ever showed up, and I never heard from them again.I paid $140 up front for services that I never received.

  We apologize for the issue with your order and the service date that was selected. Your order has now been cancelled and $135.93 was refunded back to your Master Card. Depending on your bank/financial institution, please allow 3-7 business days for your bank to process this transaction, and for the funds to reflect into your bank account. Please be advised, Moving Help cannot expedite the refund process.
