      Answered
      I had hired this company to move from CA to WA. I am incredible dissatisfied with how this move is going. 1. They LIED about being a broker. They had told us they, themselves were going to move the items. Not a third party company. This was a lie. A 3rd party company picked up my items. 2. They are beyond terrible with communication. No one can seem to give us a straight answer about anything. We planned this out months in advance as I need the items by Aug 23rd. They told us that they could not give us a specific date for pickup but it'll either be the 19th or 20th. We called nearly daily and they couldn't give us a date until the day before. On the 17th they call to ask if they could pick up the items on the 18th but that's not what was agree upon. 3. My items are to arrive late. On the 18th they call to say they are picking up my items on the 19th, but that my items will not arrive to WA until August 26th or 27th. That is 3-4 days after we agreed. After serveral calls, no one can give us a straight answer to when the items are going to arrive and to call back the next day. 3rd party picks up my items on August 19th. No call before hand. They just showed up. They gave us a different quote for the move as they calculate based off sqft while True American had given us a quote based off number of items. This quote is higher than original, but Hermes waived the extra cost for us, but asked for a tip for their movers. I was asked to pay half when they pick up the items and half when it arrives. We had asked Hermes when my items were going to arrive. The mover called dispatch and confirmed that my items would arrive on August 23rd. True American can't confirm and told us to call the next day. Tomorrow is the 23rd. We give True American a call and they tell us the items are not going to arrive until the 26th or 27th and that the 23rd was just an estimation. My items are still in a warehouse in California. Told to call back tomorrow.

      ZERO STARS. In September 2022, I hired True American Van Lines to move items across country. The movers were supposed to arrive only on certain days and times. They did not. I was never given a bill of lading or inventory list for review and signature. My items were delivered at the destination without my knowledge or consent. I was never given any documentation about the delivery. The company lied to me and didn't tell me my items had been delivered. Once the delivery was discovered, it was noted that many items were missing, many items were damaged, and many items did not belong to me. After hundreds of requests to get my paperwork, to get the company to move out all the items that did not belong to me, to honor their duties as interstate movers, to even have the decency to contact me back, I am left with a lot of missing and broken items, a lot of money out of pocket, and now it appears my insurance claim for $8k will be denied because I do not have the bill of lading and inventory lists, signed by me, because True American Van Lines lied, cheated, ignored, and broke the law by not providing those documents or not allowing me or my representatives be present at the pick up or delivery of my items.
