    Complaint Type:
    Delivery Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    On May 1st, 20**, I contacted Atlas to get a referral to one of their movers. (reference number: **-**-*****). Kilpatrick Moving and Storage, contacted me, and we developed a quote for $5,534 that included the ***, 3 men, and packing. The driver (Wes) and three laborers who appeared to have no training in moving arrived on July 5th to pack and load the furniture and deliver on July 6th. The main problem with the move was that the driver (Wes) moved all the furniture without assistance from the three laborers. I paid for three movers for 8 hours at the pick-up address and three men for 8 hours at the destination. However, only Wes moved my furniture, which included a large couch, entertainment center, queen bed, dresser, nightstands, a 60” TV, etc. The laborers only packed and moved cardboard boxes. Wes dragged our furniture through hallways, elevators, and doors, which is why they are damaged. I did not get what I paid for. We have moved with Atlas before: 2004 (Philadelphia to ******) 2017 (international move from the United Arab Emirates to ******) 2018 (Packed my daughter's apartment in DC and stored it with ****** *** ***** in Virginia for four years) 2022 (Atlas delivered my daughter's stored belongings from Virginia to Clifton, NJ) Our previous moves by Atlas agents were all done professionally with staff that cared about the quality of their work. We have never had a relocation with Atlas that went this horribly. Kilpatrick Moving and Storage has sent me a check for $160.00, while the damage resulting from negligence exceeds $2000. I can provide pictures and claim forms that were filed with the mover upon request. I cannot upload the pictures with this complaint because of file size limitations of BBB website.

    They charged for insurance that was not valid, refuse to compensate for damaged of broken china plates and refuse to address this issue. They provide false advertisement stating they were accredited by Better Business Bureau.I contracted with Kilpatrick Moving & Storage for *********************************************** services because they are an agent of Atlas *** Lines, which is known to be a reputable moving company. The first email I received from them stated that they are an accredited business with the Better Business with an A+ rating, so I felt reassured. My experience was disastrous. Their moving consultant overestimated the moving time and number of items- he estimated 10 hours, it took only 5 hours. He included items that I told him were not part of the move, he also included charges for packing of several items even though I told him we were doing our own packing. Any move that does not include storage will charge for one labor day to load and unload; I was charged for 4 different moves: loading from house to van, uploading from warehouse, loading from warehouse, uploading to new house. On top of a warehouse additional fee. Additionally, on the day of the final move only 3 movers showed up. I had a certified check to cover the labor of 4 guys.The primary issue is regarding insurance issue has not been resolved. I requested many times to purchase insurance in addition to the valuation. They reported the fax machine was not working so I was just given a paper/contract to sign the day of the moving. In the contract I chose Option 3, stating The consumer orders INSURANCE of $50,000. They mislead me into believing I had purchase insurance and refuse to pay a small claim for some shattered ***** plates because they did not pack the items. They took my money knowing that I was doing my own packing which I told them verbally and in writing. Furthermore, Kilpatrick refused to give me the name of the owner or any contact information to solve the dispute amicably.
