On August 24th 2023 I was assigned Divine transition moving company through U-Haul they recommended this moving company out of ******** ***********. On the 26th of August 2 Movers at 6:00 p.m. came to my apartment with their sister driving them and waiting the entire time in her vehicle. I had paid the first 2 hours through U-Haul order number 396b1ab4 for $165.95. I was told if I went over the 2 hours then to pay them directly cash. I had these movers from 6:00 p.m. till 10:00 p.m. totaling the moving charge to be $320. I paid this sister directly as I was told to $640 total. I paid the 320 for the moving services and $120 per driver each for a tip. If you add the 320 and the 240 it comes out to 560 a difference of $80. When I was at the storage unit the two hours had arrived the sister was behind me in her vehicle and text me that I owed another $80 I walked over to her and handed her $100 as I was told to pay cash and told her to use the extra 20 to buy ********** for the guys. That $80 I forgot I had given her when I gave her the remaining total back at the apartment at 10:00 p.m. I text her immediately after she left telling her that I had overpaid her her response back right away was I will talk to my boss do you have cash app I said yes I do. As I submitted the info above stating this I am seeking the $80 before I have to file any Court notice I am trying to have a resolution and the money owed to me. I paid them a significant tip for each driver and make note items were thrown literally into my storage unit breaking a table and lampBusiness 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. Customer paid the additional money outside of movinghelp.com. They paid that directly. They will need to pursue the provider directly for the $80 that they over paid in cash to the service provider.

I was never informed of this disclaimer until after I filed a complaint. I ordered this additional service over the phone through UHAUL when ordering u-boxes for an upcoming move.

Even when the customer books through U-Haul they read a quick run down on terms and conditions and customer agrees or if they did it online through U-Haul they still have to click agree to the terms and conditions.Customer Answer

You are completely wrong. I did not order the your moving help service originally. as I stated earlier, I ordered the moving help later over the phone. No one ever told me that your service was only a website and that I would be on my own if they help you provided caused damage to my property. Show me my signature on any document stating I would accept that responsibility. I would have never accepted those conditions otherwise. The fact that you don't hold your hired help accountable is unbelievable. I will never use your service or Uhaul going forward. Expecting the consumer to take legal action against someone your service provided is absolutely ridiculous.

I had ordered movers (Precision Pack and Move) thru MovingHelp.com. The movers were great and accomplished my move successfully. I had ordered 2 movers for 3 hours. Our move went over by an hour and I needed to add an additional hour onto the move. I changed the hours from 3 hours to 4 hours. A few days later, I realized that instead of changing the total amount of time from 3 hours to 4 hours - it ADDED 4 additional hours to my move bringing the total to 7 hours. I have tried to resolve this with MovingHelp.com but they are claiming since they have already released the funds to the movers that the movers are responsible. I have contacted the movers and they are claiming that UHaul/MovingHelp.com is responsible. All I know is that I am owed ~$240.00 for services that were not administered. UHaul/MovingHelp.com does not have a clear notice that when you are changing the amount of hours you need that it is ADDING time and not changing the entire total time of the work order. This is not a small amount of money and I truly expect that MovingHelp.com should be resolving this and not passing it off on the movers. In total I paid $537.95 for a 4 hour move that should have been $304.00 for 4 hours. I am currently owed a refund of $238.01. This is a completely reasonable mistake that anyone could have made with merely a typo. It seems unacceptable to me that MovingHelp.com can simply claim they have no responsibility in getting my funds returned when the movers have in essence stolen money from me. I have text receipts of when the movers arrived and left and can provide those if necessary.Business Response

Customer had to put in their credit card information before it was charged. But as a one time curtesy we will refund the 3 hours out of the 4 that were added on their part. Customer claimed they were just trying to add one hour but selected 4 additional hours. Each hour the service provider charges was $76/ hour so x3 hours = $228.00 refund.
A refund of $228.00 was refunded back to your **** Card ending in ****. 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.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.I appreciate your understanding and speedy resolution. I apologize for the mistake. It was not very clear that I was adding 4 additional hours and not simply changing the amount of time for the move from 3 hours to 4 hours.
Also, please investigate the movers in question. They have made no attempt to resolve this with me, they are not responding to ya'lls emails, and I have proof of him stating he knows that he accepted funds that he did not work. I do not think you should allow them to still be employed by you.

I hired moving help through this website for a move on 9/2/23. The movers confirmed the appointment earlier in the week but did not show on the date of scheduled service. MovingHelp took my money, so it never went to the moving company, but did not respond to emails, calls, phone messages, or a resolution request filed through their website. I would like a refund and for this information to be made public so others can avoid working with MovingHelp and hire movers directly.Business Response

I paid Moving Help for contracted moving services to unload my U-Haul in ****, ******. They connected me with a provider who engaged in unethical practices, including demanding the payment code prior to the termination of my move, resulting in a gross overpayment of services. Moving Help has not assisted whatsoever in helping to resolve this issue with the provider, claiming they are a "neutral" platform and that money was released with the release of the payment code. This is absolutely an unethical practice. They should be a better intermediary, protecting the customer, as I am a customer of ******************. There is apparently no recourse as a customer using their services - truly a despicable experience. The provider, Cascadia Moving Company LLC, has since started stalking me online and harassing me via text, sending messages threatening my business. Moving Help has turned a blind eye to this unlawful behavior by their provider, leaving me, the customer, completely at risk.Business Response

Please reach your Moving Helper directly via the ***************** would be the best route at this time. You can reach that Moving Helper directly at ************.

I set up moving services with Moving Help through UHaul for Saturday, August 12. I received a call from "***", he said he could accommodate my move at 1:30PM. I thought we were good to go. Well, guess what!!! *** couldn't accommodate my move. He texted my Saturday at 1:03 and told me he was going to be late. He couldn't come until 4pm. Then, he NEVER SHOWED UP.I could not reach the company by phone. I contacted by bank to stop the charges to my credit card. The company needs to return my money - charged me and no services were provided. The company is terrible, unreliable and unprofessional. 08/0908/11MOVINGHELP.COM ******* ** ** Transportation$183.95Business Response

On July 31st 2023 I hired the UHaul Company here in ********** to move a bedroom set and air conditioner. They were supposed to be at my home between 3 and 4 but did not get there until after 8 pm in which I was going to cancel the move. They took my furniture to my new apartment and insisted that I pay for the overtime hours. I do not agree with this since they were the ones who worked overtime somewhere else and did not take 1 1/2 hours to move a bedroom set. He told me to pay 500 instead of the 295 and I refused. I gave the driver 300 cash and they brought my furniture up and left it unassembled in my bedroom and damaged my headboard, footboard and dresser. Also, one of the handles on my dresser is gone. It was there when they picked up. Pictures are available of my damaged furniture in which I spent over **** on my bedroom set. I believe he should pay for the damage caused to my bedroom set. I am very disappointed with this company since I believed ***** was a great company. If he does not resolve this, I am going to take this to court.Business Response
