Do not use American Dream
American dream relocation was a terrible experience. I suggest you do not use their services because they do nothing. I spoke with Evan, who assured me he would be available to me for the entirety of my move. Very charming until my deposit was paid, after which he never answered his phone despite the many calls I made. He vanished. They emailed me to use a moving company, Cosmos moving, which upon review had horrible almost zero star ratings on google.The contract required them to perform a call to solidify final inventory prior to the move to ensure capacity - no one ever called or performed it. I had to book a pickup date with the mover despite having already done so with Evan and assuming Evan had booked me as discussed and contracted. American Dream as a broker collects ⅓ fee, jobs you out to a terrible local mover and disappears. Upon arrival, the mover immediately said I needed to pay an additional $ 500 over contract. I said the items were exactly as I had gone over with Evan and bought space for accordingly, but they back you into a corner. I called American Dream and spoke to a customer service person who tried to assist but said I could not send the bad movers away and that my only choice was to lose my ⅓ deposit already paid to them or pay more as demanded. The Ryder truck was messy, the blankets provided were filthy and full of holes.The back office guy from Cosmos who calls the shots on money demands is rude, nasty, abrasive and crass. In order to lessen the $500 demanded, I had to leave items behind. I had the same experience on the delivery side. My family helpers came and went because the truck never came. I had given my preferred delivery date at pickup and it was ignored until I called every day for a week to get them to deliver 5 days later than requested. They were lost and had been given the wrong address so I stood out on the road to guide them in. Upon arrival I was immediately hit up for more money for things that were already provided for in the contract. The guys doing the move are fine and try hard to please. It’s not their fault. I spoke to American Dream several times throughout this journey and got nowhere. They said they would perform an investigation into all items listed above. They did not. They put the workload on you to attempt any recovery or have your case heard. They exhaust you so you go away. Overall they are not a company to be relied on for customer service or performance. They are a middleman and you start all over with the mover when they choose your mover, who you are stuck with. They gave no care or expertise selecting the almost zero star mover. They leave you high and dry. In the future I will hire help directly or do it myself. The price gouging, wasted time, frustration and complete lack of follow through from American Dream resulted in a bad experience.
