      I contacted several local movers to help with my move. I contacted Strong Hands to get a quote, and sent a deposit for their services. I was also contact by a company called Big Strong Back. I should also explain that I have a brain tumor, and often information is difficult to process. On my moving day, the movers arrived, packed up my things, took them to my location. Then when I went to pay for their services, it was significantly cheaper than I expected. They also had no knowledge of my deposit. I discovered that I had hired the 2nd company, Big Strong Back. The gentleman at Big Strong Back explained that this happens a lot. That his company gets mistaken for the other and vice versa. The first company, which I had paid the deposit to, came the day after my move. I did recall schedule a move with more than one company. When I contacted Strong Hands to see about a partial refund for the deposit, the company denied it. The deposit was $361.50, quite a lot for someone like myself on a limited income. I would of course be willing to pay for the mileage and gas, and even the time wasted by the movers that showed. I feel that it is in no way worth $360.50. I signed no contract for the deposit. When denied I was told it was non-refundable. That it was my responsibility to cancel their services. When I explained the situation to them, they still denied the partial refund. I am making an attempt to contact and report this so that other do not fall for the same scheme that I did.

      I hired these guys to move my family. They showed up over a half hour late. The moving guys got in a fight outside my home amongst themselves. They ripped a hole in the flooring of my home while moving my washer. They then wrecked the moving truck full of my belongings by running into a bridge on the way to my new home, causing thousands of dollars of damage to our personal property. The owner came, and offered to pay for the damages. I have since tried to contact him several times. He will not return my calls or text messages. My three year old son and I lost furniture, televisions, toys, decorations, and other belongings. The owner “Justin” acted like he was going to make it right, and then disappeared on me. Please don’t hire them. It isn’t worth it!
