One REALLY has to READ the contract.
True story.
Began in New Hampshire.
Friend had household furniture placed in a storage unit. Just like the ones you see everywhere.
Then he needed to move all to newly built house in Florida.
He asked for my advice - which I gave - but he ignored.
He measured the items in storage.
Went online and found a moving company that would take his furniture from NH to Florida.
Price: $2,750.
He asked me to travel to storage unit the day that all was to be picked up.
10:00 AM moving company would show up.
They showed up at noon. Drove all the way from Brooklyn NY. Box truck.
As they were loading the movers stated that there was more stuff then was agreed to. The price went UP. $3,250.00. As they continued to load the price went UP again. $3,750.00.
Each time price went up. A phone call took place between friend and moving company.
Prices were agreed to and off went the truck back to Brooklyn, NY. To be transferred to a long haul mover.
Now on to Florida.
Date was provided for delivery.
No show.
Another date was provided for delivery.
No show.
Then unexpectedly this large tractor trailer shows up.
The driver of tractor trailer stated that all would not be unloaded unless cash of $2,500 was provided. No checks. No credit cards.
If not paid. All would go back to warehouse and he would be charged storage fees. And local delivery fee.
Off to the bank he goes and gives driver $2,500 cash.
Some items were damaged. No insurance. No claim filed.
My original suggestion was Ray the Mover in Manchester.
This is the company that I used to move my furniture across country.
I had zero problems and no damage. And no EXTRA CHARGES.
Go figure !
