On Wednesday, May 8th, JG Outstanding Moving in ******, ** was booked through U-Hauls Moving Help for loading. Prior to the guys loading, my husband and I spent weeks labeling boxes (heavy vs fragile) and wrote down the contents of the box on the top lid. We also wrapped every piece of furniture with moving blankets and sealed the blankets in with cellophane. When we began unloading, we realized that JG Outstanding Moving didnt even have the due diligence to read the boxes we labeled nor were they respectful to someone elses livelihood.They were careless. They were negligent.* Our tables front, left edge was ground to its raw wood.* Our couch was discovered to have a few punctures onto the arm/body of it (from being loaded up against our tables legs.)* My green office chair had an indent into its velvet seat cushion (from being loaded up against my cornered office desk legs.)* In the very back corner of our truck, we discovered crushed boxes. Our lighter boxes were on the bottom of heavier boxes and their weight became too much.* Our second office desk was loaded horizontally but had several heavy boxes stacked on top of itone being a box of cast-iron pots and pans. This was too heavy for our desk and crushed it, snapping it in two. I am devastated at the complete loss of my second desk and the repairs to the other pieces of furniture I now have to try and salvage. If they can even be salvaged. I am disappointed and disgusted with how my belongings were handled. My only desired resolution is for JG Outstanding Moving to fully cooperate with the insurance claim Ill be making through U-Hauls Moving Help.Business Response

Date of transaction was May 7, 2024. I reserved a moving company to help with my move, and they never showed up. This caused a huge problem and inconvenience because I had already rented the truck. My only recourse was to hire another guy to help me and we worked like crazy to get it done by 5 pm, as my helper was available until then and I needed to get the truck back. I am 65 years old and this was exhausting. I went in the website and found that their 5 star rating was a farce. There were several 0 stars and 1 star ratings. Moving Help.com mislead me to believe that they had a 5 star rating. I only discovered that after the fact, when I checked them out by digging deeper. Moving Help. Com needs to be more truthful with their ratings.Business Response

I signed up with this company as a single person moving helper. They advertise it that I could do that. I signed up for and logged into their website, spend time to create a profile, and spent a few hours to watch and pass their training videos. Then they also wanted me to email them my driver's license, wanted me to add payment info, and create a work zone and availability. I did all that work for them to send me a email that I would not get any work as a single worker, would need a helper. They could've said that before they asked me to provide all my sensitive info and spend hours of my time on nothing. I complained about this abuse and these scumbags deactivated my account.Business Response

This business sent me numerous emails asking for sensitive uploads like Id and photos, requested I fully go through the website and do training which I finished and also finished the quizzes which took hours of my time. Then they sent another email asking me to go and set up my profile fully and a availability map, and they would activate my account. After I did all that, then they sent another email stating there is no work for 1 person. They could have stated that in an email way before this point. This makes them a dishonest scumbag company that toys with people and their time. Then they just deactivate after all the time I took. This is what is infuriating and hence my complaint. I don't want work for these scumbags, I just want to document their abusive practiceBusiness Response

I hired UHaul and its affiliated moving service to help with a move. I was refused the service I requested, and instead had a week of unreasonable hassles with how my things would be moved, how poorly they were packed (and thus damaged and broken).I asked - or should i say begged - to reserve a truck, have it be loaded by trusted family and then park the truck for a few days before my things were moved. I work full-time, this is a busy time at my work and I wanted to have flexibility.I was told oh, no you must have a UBox, you must have a UBox. I was told I needed TWO UBoxes, ONE was delivered because oh, no, there is not room for two!Because this took so long, and I could not hire other movers, I went through UHaul's moving service. The company cannot be found in any data bases so I assume it is a shell company for UHaul. the workers were more than an hour late, they were rude, they refused to protect my things with pads and I have breakage and damage to furniture. A heavy glass shelf in my china cabinet was in pieces The movers did not know what they were doing and were rude and disrespectful. They needed training before they are sent on any more jobs.The movers didn't even have a tape measure and i had to give them one!!!!!Then when I called and told ***** the box would be ready for pickup after 2 p.m. May 3, they picked it up before 10 a.m. with my things in it!Honestly, i was raped and beaten years ago and that was an easier experience than dealing with ***** and its moving service.I had had great service for years but am shocked at how very poorly this went. The communication was so poor and it was consistently poor. I now much pay to have furniture repairs and to replace a custom shelf. This will not be cheap.Because I have no **************** at my home yet, I cannot easily access my bank statement. (I cannot and will not do that on a library computer.)Business Response

I've made repeat attempts since the date of damage on July 28, 2023 to address these concerns, however, *****, Owner/Registered Agent of Express Movers and U-Haul has been passive aggressive even escalating to bribery to avoid taking accountability for their negligence. I immediately brought these concerns to their attention the date of the incident as soon as the damages were observed, but ***** elected to gaslight me despite my having several video recordings and photos of before, during and after the damage that his company caused to my belongings. When presented with these facts ***** pretended to be ignorant about the state laws and contractual agreements that existed as a hired contractor via movinghelp.com. He continued to deny responsibility until finally admitting full responsibility only to bribe me to take down my honest review in exchange for repayment of the damages that he on behalf of his company caused. This is illegal and per ************** Article 22. ******. Willful and wanton injury to real property. If any person shall willfully and wanton damage, injure or destroy any real property whatsoever, either of a public or private nature, he shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. He and his employee were adamant about forcing the truck door up completely lifting my desk off of the ground repeatedly several feet high essentially ripping the legs out of the desk and breaking the tv in the process. In addition to several cameras at the time of loading and unloading along with cameras throughout the unloading location its even obvious by the damage the direction of which the force had to happen to rip the legs out and break the tv. They didnt even tell me the tv was broken and just walked by me and laid it on the ground leaning it against the wall. When I asked ***** about it he repeatedly gaslit me insisting that these items were already broken. Total damages have been demanded via check for $775.Business Response

U-Haul/Moving Help involves themselves in the dispute process by requesting that customers contact THEM and to facilitate disputes via their online portal. They also list a U-Haul Arbitration Agreement on their website that details the following which further reiterates my rights to damages from both or either entity in addition to the paragraph below: Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Claims shall not be pursued in court (except Small Claims as defined below), but shall be decided by binding arbitration administered by either the National Arbitration and Mediation (NAM) in accordance with its ... a.Claims is broadly interpreted to include any dispute, complaint, controversy, or cause of action arising out of or relating to your relationship with U-Haul or any prior, current or future Transaction with U-Haul.
Furthermore, while addressing this matter u-haul representatives directly caused further harm to myself by gaslighting me and ignoring me and by not addressing or correcting the clearly abrasive, violent, and abusive behaviors of their vendor/helper. Damages that are demanded in this instance are NOT just for my belongings and the payment of service, but for the harm caused by your company as well, MovingHelp, who also in-turn facilitated this relationship with a contractor who illegally bribes customers to delete honest reviews and commits crimes by neglectfully damaging their property and abusing them psychologically in the process. They have allowed them to continue servicing others on their platform despite language on their website clearly indicating customer reviews are vital to ensure the safety of others in the marketplace. They have enacted no consequences or accountability. I attempted to address this through their misleading Issue Resolution platform AND via email and U-Haul/MovingHelp did nothing and said nothing to address the clear abuse even when they were included on the language sent by the mover.Business Response

On 3/8 I had an arrangement with a moving provider through this service to pick up, load, and take the containers back to the uhaul facility The provider didnt show up as planned, saying he was in *******, and I was scheduled to move out of my apartment that day in ***** with my new location being in ************. I had to scramble and make 6 phone calls between uhaul and moving help for them to be able to cancel that provider so I could book another.I booked the next provider based upon a recommendation from the uhaul representative who speaks on behalf of moving help as well.I ended up having to pay 1200 instead of the original 318. The company charged me 500 dollars for their insurance to tow the equipment to my house and back to the drop off facility Moving help refused to help in any way besides offering back the original ********************************************* to the providers that didnt show up.After being a loyal uhaul customer and spending 2k additional on my move, youd think they would want to make the situation right for the customer Terrible experience will never recommend uhaul or moving help to anyone. 9 phone calls later and all I get is a crappy email acting like they care about their customers!Business Response

I think you need to make this right and compensate us for having to find another mover last minute. Dont advertise a business if you cannot take accountability.

I hired movers to help move and load a truck. However the movers dropped a desk down a flight of stairs while moving it, resulting in the desk being completely broken and being unable to be repaired, with several pieces of chipped wood, scratches, and broken pieces. I got into contact with the moving provider, and we agreed on them paying for half of the value of the desk (a $150 refund), however they disappeared without paying the money and never again responded to my calls and messages. I have contacted movinghelp numerous times and they have told me that they can't do anything and that only the moving provider can help, which seems ridiculous that they don't have a process for poor movers being hired or for being able to get the money back from the movers. I am incredibly frustrated with this process, as I now have needed to waste a lot of my time making phone calls and messaging both moving help and the movers, even though I will still not be able to get the full value of my desk. I would avoid this company at all costs and find a reputable company that will take responsibility for items being broken.Business Response

Hello,
The response that was received was about a different order than the one that I was referencing. My complaint was for order number 64348d9c, where the provider was with Greater Earth Moving. This is the order I am requesting a refund for due to the destruction of a property and due to being unable to receive a response from the provider, as outlined in the previous message.

My concern is with movinghelp. Com , its moving company- keep it moving , and U-Haul. I will file a separate complaint pertaining to their involvement. This complaint is to movinghelp . I wasnt aware of their not screening or having no regulations on the movers . That its like hiring anyone off the street and allowing them in your home.landscaping companies have to be bonded and criminal checked I informed moving help of the two companies I had a problem with, they wasted my time having me file a dispute only to inform me three weeks later . Its nothing they can do. My life was put a harm and my *************. I was charged **** for a two hour job they charged $55 an hour.These movers went through my belongings stole and damaged about **** worth of items. Plus 300dollars on helpers to move because they never finished unloading the truck. When discussing the fee he wanted **** I said no spoke on the damages , he didnt work only the one guy did and it should not have taken from **** at night nine hours. No also I spoke on the fact that a lady and a kid came , it suppose to be only 2 men., over ******** me. He stood up said I had to pay him and the other guy got up and proceeded towards us . Im was home alone, 10:30 at night and freezing outside. I have major health issues, on oxygen and had no choice, I was being robbed and threatened.I hadnt ate and was feeling weak and Ill. Its frightening knowing they can come back at anytime.moving help needs to change their policies. They should be held responsible for their independent contractors. Check and see if the people are licensed by the state. Set forth safety measures. Put up front bold letters you hire these guys at your own risk and that they all are not moving companies .

Im asking that my complaint be reopened in that moving help.com in my opinion sent a generic general response. Besides my personal request pertaining to self .. I alsoI requested that they make some kind of effort to let the buyer beware that you are hiring people with out any protection . Not put at the end in small print but boldly stated on the front bold and noticeable. Make it mandatory that the client get a copy of the movers drivers license. And by no means can more people come to the work site than initially agreed. Moving help can put stipulations on the movers and require the client to see it through for some kind of safety effort to the client. Moving help isnt holding up to the BBB qualification integrity and such. This is misleading uHaual / moving help showing high status with BBB . Yet the list of what BBB stands for from the business movinghelp is lacking. Seeing the BBB status is and was another reason to trust all would be fine.Thank you for your considerationYolandaBusiness Response

I am writing to formally file a complaint against MovingHelp, a service facilitating moving assistance, due to egregious overcharging and deceptive practices by their affiliate businesses, specifically Parks Moving Services.On December 17th at 8 am, I engaged MovingHelp to arrange two movers for a two-hour service window through Parks Moving Services. Unfortunately, the service fell significantly short as only one mover was provided for a mere one hour, despite the upfront payment for a two-mover, two-hour service.The customer service experience was equally appalling. The representative, ********, demonstrated extreme rudeness and unprofessionalism when questioned about the discrepancy, eventually hanging up abruptly after demanding a specific code.Despite contacting U-Haul, the parent company of MovingHelp, seeking assistance and a possible price adjustment, I was directed back to the affiliate movers. This lack of accountability and resolution is unacceptable.This situation is nothing short of theft, with MovingHelp and its affiliates charging for a service that was not delivered. Such deceptive practices not only violate consumer trust but also constitute a serious breach of ethical business conduct.I request that the Better Business Bureau thoroughly investigates this matter and takes appropriate action against MovingHelp and its affiliate, Parks Moving Services. Additionally, I seek your assistance in ensuring a fair resolution, including a rate adjustment for the services not rendered as contracted.I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that the Better Business Bureau will uphold the standards of integrity and fairness in business practices.Thank you.Business Response

Please accept our deepest apology for any difficulty or inconvenience you may have encountered with your service provider. Moving Help is a neutral venue and each Moving Help service provider is an independent laborer who is responsible for their own customer satisfaction and level of service. The service provider should have brought the number of laborers that you picked out versus just sending you one as you ordered 2 helpers. As an one time thing, we will refund you for your order. We have refunded what you paid of $140.00 back to your Master Card ending in ****. Depending on your financial institution, it can take up to 3-7 business days to reflect into your account. Once again we sincerely apologize for the issues you have had with your selected moving service provider.Customer Answer
