Classic Bait and Switch
We were directed to Jackson Movers by MoveSafe Relocation Services in Florida for a move from Dallas to Bend, Oregon. The original price quoted by MoveSafe was just under $4,200. The move ended up costing just under $14,000. That was lie number one. The pick up of our goods went fairly smoothly. We were told that our furniture, which was picked up on April 11th, would be delivered by April 16th. It was delivered two weeks later on April 29th. That was lie number two. Getting information from MoveSafe as to the whereabouts of all of our worldly possessions during that time was akin to finding out who would be the next Pope. We were also told that since we paid additional funds to "buy" the entire truck, that the truck was ours and that would not be shared with any other items. That proved to be the third lie. Our goods were taken to a warehouse in Dallas, loaded onto another truck with seven additional deliveries, the first of which was in Chicago, which from a geographic standpoint is northeast of Dallas some 900 miles, so there was no way our furniture would show up by the 16th. When the furniture did show up, it was delivered by two gentlemen who seemed to be rather upset that we were in a two story house, although that was clear from the paperwork. It turned out that they were from another moving company which indicated that Jackson brokered the move to a third party which was not disclosed to us. That was lie number four. During the unloading the movers received another call that they had to make another pickup that same day and the unloading of our goods became a rather haphazard affair with them placing boxes that we had clearly marked by room wherever they found space. We also ended up having to assemble the beds. We attempted to keep an inventory of boxes as per the list that was generated when the goods were picked up, but the way the movers were working towards the end that made it impossible. We lost 10 boxes in the move and my road bike was damaged. During the whole process I would say that the degree of empathy exhibited by the staff at MoveSafe was somewhere around zero. We had to buy furniture and cookware just to make our new home somewhat inhabitable. MoveSafe could start the process by explaining exactly what is going to happen during the move and what to expect. There seemed to be a new surprise (and not good surprises) every day and they were less than helpful in explaining what was happening. We were living in a home with nothing to sleep on or cook with for two weeks and their standard response was that they were within the prescribed time window. That was not helpful.
