    Contracted with Loadup on 6/28 for removal of 2 pieces of furniture that was scheduled for 6/30/23 between ****pm. They were told furniture had to be removed that day as other work was also scheduled. They said it would "not be a problem". They required payment in full at the time it was scheduled (should have known right then it wasn't legit). I requested to pay 1/2 deposit and balance on completion but they insisted on full payment and guaranteed it would be done. Around 11am on 6/30/23 husband received a call from them with their (obviously scripted) excuse of delay and extended window until 8pm. Around 5pm I began reaching out to them to get an ETA. I received a phone call from a representative who gave me the same scripted message. He asked if we could reschedule for 7/6 and I told him"No". I asked point blank if it would be done as contracted or if I should make other moving arrangements. He said he would leave it scheduled with the 8pm window then contact us to reschedule for next week. Received email about being rescheduled for 7/4. This is still unacceptable. This appears to be an ongoing issue for this company. If they don't have a mover who can do the work, be honest and don't make promises you cannot keep. This is a deceptive business model! I expect a FULL REFUND!

    I ordered service online to have tree debris removed from my yard this past Friday. I paid $394 upfront. I received a phone call at 8 am from a driver stating he was on his way. By 7pm, no one ever showed up. I tried contacting customer support online and there was no support. My account number could not be found. I tried finding a number to call and it only would send you to an automative voice where someone would text you. You can never actually speak to a live person. Someone claimed they would reschedule me for Monday 6/26/23 at 8am. I received a call by 8:30 from someone that he was on his way and again no one ever showed up. I tried calling again and I was told that my service was on hold because on Friday I reached out to PayPal complaining about them requesting a refund. Although they supposedly had worked everything out by rescheduling me they claim now it was on hold. I then researched and saw all the exact same complaints. They get your money and don't ever show up. I am requesting a full refund. Not 50% as they claimed I could get on Friday. I never received a call, an explanation until I called hours later. They are ripping people off and should be shut down!!

    *******, we greatly appreciate all feedback as it helps us provide a better, more reliable service. LoadUp prides ourselves on delivering superior service for each and every customer and it appears we may have not met that standard in your circumstance. I believe we had an agent get in touch with you to discuss further. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at ************************************ and let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

    Load up emailed me today 6/28/23 regarding the matter.  I requested a full vs a partial refund.  Although it was noted in the email that a refund would be issued; they failed to acknowledge the amount which should be the full amount of $394. They stated that this would be refunded to my PayPal account.  I have opened a complaint via PayPal but they have not responded nor initiated my full refund.  Therefore I am waiting confirmation from Load Up. I meed them to professionally acknowledged those terms...the full amount,  communicate with PayPal and initiate a refund before I accept the terms. I will not be bamboozled again.  

     

    Thank you

    Hi *******, after looking through our records and speaking with our agents, it looks like we had to cancel your order because once PayPal opens a dispute, we at LoadUp cannot close it. I have confirmed that you will receive your refund in full, $394. Once PayPal dispute is won, you will receive the refund in full. We apologize as it is never our intention to mislead anyone with our services or have anyone feel bamboozled. Please reach out to ************************************ if there's anything else we can help you with.

    They were supposed to pick up some items last Wednesday and they still have not shown up. The stuff has been sitting in our driveway for a week now. Communication has been terrible. They were supposed to be here today between 6-7 pm and it is now 8:30 pm with no call or text to tell us anything. They have you pay when you book your appointment so I would think twice if you are thinking about using this company. I will never use them or recommend this company to anyone.

    ****, thank you for leaving a review. We apologize for the issues you have experienced throughout this process. Sometimes delays occur, and to your point this is unacceptable and I greatly apologize for keeping you waiting. The best thing we can do in this situation is communicate effectively. I believe we've had an agent get in touch with you to get this order rescheduled. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please reach out to ************************************ and we'd be happy to make this a positive experience for you.

    I am rejecting this response because it was rescheduled for today and once again no one showed up. It has been over 2 weeks that this stuff has been sitting in the driveway. You have been given numerous chances to correct the situation and have failed every time. Enough is enough. Refund the money because we are having someone else pick it up. Clearly your company is not capable of doing what you were paid to do. We paid to have stuff removed not to haggle. 
    Sincerely,

The information the request is Copy of drivers license, SS # , copy of insurances documents , general liability, ************* documents, home address, pictures of trucks and pictures of license plates.

I get an email stating sorry we do not need any more venders in your area it was full. I feel like this is a scam to get personal information and falsely advertised to the consumer.

    Bill, we greatly appreciate all feedback as it helps us provide a better, more reliable service. LoadUp prides ourselves on delivering superior service for each and every customer and it appears we may have not met that standard in your circumstance. As far as your concern, LoadUp does not scam people into giving out their personal information. There are times where we don't have the capacity to take on any more drivers in the area and unfortunately that is not determined until after someone signs on to become a Loader. We are not here to keep your personal information for any other reason than to get people signed up on the app to become Loaders.

    Please do not hesitate to reach out to us ************************************ and let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

    I placed an order on 6/8 for a couch pickup on 6/9. My order was confirmed. The next day, there was no arrival within my window of ****. They asked to extend the window to 8-8 so they could get a driver. I agreed. They didnt make any effort to send a team to pick up my item. Contacting them is a mess, they have no one on the phones and half of their email addresses dont work. They texted me for a while but have since stopped responding. Their policy is a 20% fee taken for cancellations. I want that waived because they made no effort to complete the service I paid them for. I need a full refund.

    We was supposed to receive a pick up on March 31 and nobody showed. When inquiring we get no response besides filling out a survey on how well they are doing. On June 1st we still haven't had a pick up and still haven't got a response. We have texted, called, emailed and have got nothing back. They was quick to respond to tell us the original $400 was not enough that an additional $150 was required. So we paid $550 for junk to be picked up and after days of waiting it's still sitting in my front yard. Now we are getting complaints to my HOA about the mess.

    Paid $200 + in advance to have items removed from house after move. *** jobber business sent one guy with a pickup truck unable to handle the items I wanted removed. Rep ********** and and refused to send additional help OR to refund my purchase. Misleading booking process, uncooperative reps, frankly, a ripoff. They do nothing but post your job on some other site. Have no real working employees just a bunch of suits ripping off hard working Americans.

    I requested a pickup service for yesterday and got numerous calls and texts confirming the removal pickup. AFTER the 4-hour time slot had lapsed, I get a text saying they rescheduled my appointment to another day or I can choose to reschedule. I've attempted to reach them numerous times but their customer service is an absolute joke. They do not respond to any questions nor can you speak to anyone. They keep saying reach out by text but they don't respond with any information except a link to reschedule. They also keep texting from a variety of different numbers so you can't get a proper answer. Based on other complaints I've read on this site, it's clear that they are not a legitimate business that follows through on the service that is purchased. I would like a full refund of the charges immediately as they did not fulfill the service.

    I was order number ******. LoadUp was supposed to collect a sofa from my apartment on Saturday, May 27, 2023 between the hours 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (16:00 -20:00 hours). At 4:11 p.m., I received an email stating that a driver named ****** was assigned to me. I was supposed to receive a confirmation call from him and never did. I texted the number they gave me to contact him, since nobody was showing up at my location, and there was no resresponse. After being confused about an email I received that claimed that the driver tried to contact me and the company tried to contact me, but I was "unreachable," I tried to call the number issued to me that led to ****** and he claimed that he tried to contact me, and I asked him which number he tried to contact and he could not answer that question and said he no longer had it, because the order was no longer available to him (but he could have checked the outgoing calls list on his phone and figured that out, if he did call). He was a bit rude and unprofessional with me and inquired if I was calling him a liar. I do not know what occurred on his end, so I did not make that claim to him, but I know I received no calls. The email responses were polite and professional, and I was offered to reschedule, but I told them no, because I now have a distrust for the company and want my money back. I received no response yet after requesting I wanted a refund, and my debit card was charged $151.34. I suspect that this is either a scam or a poorly run company.
