      Status:
      Answered
      During the recent move of our belongings from P********* ** *********** I was shocked to find several items during the unloading of the truck on August 14th 2023, including a ******* 65-inch cracked TV that no longer functions, a damaged fine dining table with broken sharp edges that were unsafe, 5 chairs with multiple punched holes, a discolored couch that cannot be cleaned despite professional vacuum cleaning since it has dirt watermarks on a fabric couch and a broken robot vacuum. I am very disappointed with the level of care that was taken with my belongings during the move. I had specifically requested that my belongings be handled carefully, as many were fragile and expensive. The following are the items with their replacement cost: Cost of Perlora Table and Chair set replacement: $5843. I have confirmed, as in the email forwarded, that this cannot be repaired but can only be replaced. (7150) Robot Vacuum- Wi-Fi Connected, Smart Mapping, Works with *****, Ideal for Pet Hair, Works with Clean Base: $427 The cost of the Samsung TV 65 inch: $1399 Cost of Crate and Barrel Couch: $2100 We were redirected to an insurance company who never reimbursed anything for the past 4 months.

      Definitely the worst company that you can imagine, their crew didn't take any care when loading my belongs into the truck they were literally throwing everything without any organization at all, which got most of the things damage during its travel. They damaged my walls during the pick up, had one member of their crew the entire time on his mobile phone, didn't pick a single box and saw him dozens of time after his partners just asking "How much will I get paid for this work", I was told that was his 1st day, by the way. After all this frustration and disappointment, I called their customer service and they weren't paying attention at all in everything that happen, as bad as the experience, they were just worried about collecting the payment, even mentioning that member of their crew hadn't worked at all, so they just send your home random guys that has no experience, responsibility and commitment at all, but they do want get paid as they would. Believe me, avoid this company as much as you can and safe yourself from bad experience like mine, this company is a shame.
