Get A Moving Company -MISREPRESENTED, LIED, UNPROFESSIONAL, STOLE MONEY BY CREATING DUPLICATE FAKE CHECK, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE Pompano Beach Florida
1. Get A Moving Company did not clearly state they were hiring another company to move my goods. They acted and spoke as if they were the company doing the moving, though they were not. They provided no information about the company they hired.
2. Get A Moving Company explained the "deposit" paid before the move to be for gas and fees for the moving truck, but in reality were their fees for hiring another company. This was a outright lie.
3. Get A Moving Company did not provide any documentation other than the contract I signed, discussing the estimate and deposit. FMSCA requires other documents to be provided.
4. Get A Moving Company was aware I was in a different state than the pickup and drop off of goods and discussed methods of payment, yet did not accept the method of payment discussed. I was blindsided by the moving company they hired and had no way to pay them 2000 miles away.
5. Get A Moving Company signed a contract with me for one price per pound, then signed a contract with the company they hired to charge me
a higher rate per pound.
6. Get A Moving Company is extremely unprofessional, hung up on me, and would not let me speak one full sentance on the phone when trying to discuss these lies and misrepresentations. I was yelled at for interrupting the guy after he interrupted me 4 times. When I asked why I should let him speak when he wouldn't let me, he even interrupted me then and yelled "listen lady...". Ridiculous.
7. Get A Moving Company created a fake check, similar to the check I paid them a deposit with, and withdrew money from my checking account. I was completely unaware and never authorized such a fraudulent activity. This is ILLEGAL!
8. Get A Moving Company provided no weigh slips, never called to set up pick up or delivery dates and times, and has no voicemail system to leave a message. Their email only works sometimes, other times emails bounce back. When I asked the guy who answered the phone for his name he would not even tell me that.

I understand your concerns, but as far as claiming to not know that they were a broker, I find that hard to understand. While they should have explicitly told you they were a broker, the name pretty much states it. That said, brokers are notorious for this sort of thing.

I sort of have to agree because it's clear you failed to do any research before deciding on who would take every possession you ever owned, some of which were probably irreplacable, and decide to go with a mover who never saw one piece of furniture, one box, one of anything that needed to be moved. You selected a mover you found on the internet - I know because many of them are located in Florida - and then complain about what happened! There are lots of websites that warn consumers about the pitfalls of moving and you managed to find none of them because you broke the most basic rules.
Let's be very clear so that others learn:
Moving is not an inexpensive venture and anyone who tells you it is happens to be lying to you. In the end, the cost to move you from point A to point B generally ends up being close to the same - whether you use a scam mover or whether you use a large reputable mover; if you get a lowball price, the scam mover makes up for it elsewhere. The difference is in the condition of your goods when they finally arrive at destination; in that case, the scam mover will generally end up breaking or losing most of your items - which will cost you plenty. In the end, the scam mover you found on the internet will cost you far more in lost time, energy, and broken or lost items.
Scam movers can be best dealt with by not using them. If you don't use them, they can't stay in business. By choosing a mover based on price, you keep scam movers in business.

I had quoted this very same consumer and as most people they did not do any prior research and decided to go with the "lowest" price. Regardless of what their complaint is I can only say, everyone wants to bargain shop and believe they are going to get the deal of the century and when the obvious happens they have the nerve to go online and bash these companies. If you had done your due dilligence and been an intelligent consumer as opposed to a bargain shopper you would have clearly seen the fact that this particular company has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau and that the lowest price is DEFINATELY not the best. Stop bargain shopping when you are moving and go with a reputable company not a cheap low ball sleaze company such as the one that you chose trying to save a buck because in the end not only are you going to have damages, you are going to pay MORE than the most expensive company.
