I would like to discourage everyone from using "Apartment Mover Co." I have used several different movers in the past and none can live up to the amount of unprofessionalism that "Eddie", the owner, exudes. My recent moving experience with them was not a pleasant one. I would like to describe some incidents from the most recent move I had with them to hope that you think twice before considering them.
First; The ad says, "Exact price quote", but then he will come in and give you a completely different quote for a couple more boxes. I confirmed his "exact price quote" the night before the move and he did not tell me the stipulations behind it. He will rattle off a number in the initial phone call with you clearly without doing any calculations.
Second; "Eddie" said he would be a "little early." My moving appointment was at 1 PM. He called me at 9:30 AM to come over and start moving.
Third; "Eddie" only accepts cash upfront. I told him that I would pay him half at the beginning of the job and half at the end. He said he couldn't do that because "there were a lot of criminals out there." When I questioned his business practices, he stormed off and refused to do the job. I had to coax him back in with giving him the cash up front. I am a woman and I was alone during my move. I had to call two friends to come over and be with me because I felt very threatened by his actions and rude demeanor.
Fourth; he makes you sign a contract that he doesn't give you a copy of (I'm in the process of requesting a copy of the contract). I told him that I would sign that at the end of the job and he made me sign it at the beginning.
Fifth; At my new apartment, while moving my couch in to the apartment, he took off plaster and put a small hole in the wall. He neglected to tell me this and the only reason I knew it was my couch was because it had a paint smear on it.
Sixth; I'm assuming because he was angry with my questioning his business practices, he left after moving everything in. He didn't even stop up and confirm that I had everything to close the deal or anything.
Seventh; At my old apartment, I have a piece of wood that is loose on the door panel. One of the movers ripped it off and did not put it back up. I'm guessing I won't be getting my full security deposit back.
I STRONGLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM EVER USING APARTMENT MOVER CO.!!! Do not be a victim of this SCAM like I was. This "gentleman" was a very threatening and intimidating individual to me and only when I had my two male friends there was he somewhat cordial.
Wow! super fast movers! I was really pleased with the service provided by your team of movers. They were very efficient and professional. I am glad we decided to deal with a professional company. Highly recommended!
