Don’t trust this company pls
Our family was relocating in Florida from Michigan due to work. I searched up online for moving companies and one company came and looked at all the things in my house and the other I just spoke on the phone which was a lady names Joann Wistoski from City Moving Group LLC. She was super pushy and I was still looking around so didn’t really respond to her after multiple emails and calls. Our date to move came closer and she happens to call me and she tells me I work now for One Souce Van Lines. I thought that was add but whatever. Super pushy again with everything they were only 1000 dollars cheaper than the other company that came and looked at the entire house. We were quoted 5900 dollars from One Source. We were ok with paying that. The day we made the contract Joann wouldn’t let me finish reading the contract and pushing me just to sign. She couldn't get off the phone. Monday I get a call saying that we need to go thru everything again what we are taking and they jacked the price up to 12000 dollars now which we were not going to pay. After some very unprofessional phone calls with Joann spoke to customer service and basically came down to you need to leave stuff behind if you don’t want to pay 12k. The day the company came it was a different company from Chicago that had basically nothing to do with One source. Had a big Budget truck rented and they were moving our things. We got charged 150 for and elliptical extra bc that was a risky item if they have to put items on top they might fall so insurance wise they had to charge me for it. Same thing with our workout bike. So there is an extra 300 dollars and plus another 150 for materials they used which was some plastic and duck tape. Ok paid the extras. Our stuff moved really fast to Florida. When our stuff got in Florida, our tv, dining table and coffee table all were damaged. I have tried to contact One source thru their number it doesn’t work anymore. I have tried to contact Joann that number also doesn’t work anymore. I have emailed her she doesn’t respond. I have emailed the company on the email that they have on their website no respond. This company is an absolute scam and my husband and I are looking to take legal action. On their website it clearly states if you have damaged items please give us a call and we will file an insurance claim. Nobody’s phone number is working since I’ve moved.

Hello, We are sorry to see this type of review as we never want customers to have a poor experience when moving with us. We can assure you we are here everyday and fully staffed. All phone number on the customer contract are indeed working. The only reason the cost of the move would ever increase is in the event the customer has additional items, requires packing, additional stairs, or bulky fee's for unique items that cannot be stacked on. This is clearly stated at the top of the moving agreement. Furthermore, our contract clearly states that we work with our network carriers. This is a broker driven industry and this business practice is common for most companies. When reviewing the file, it appears that during the QA call prior to pickup, the customer asked to add inventory to be moved, 432 cf. ( size estimate-roughly 2 bd apt worth of goods) This does indeed increase the cost of the move as the job has gotten bigger. It says in the notes that the customer was scared no matter who she goes with, us or Allied, that her cost would go up. Allied has been around over 100 years and is a highly reputable company. If she went with them, would they have received this type of review? Are they a scam? They ended up not adding the items in QA and chose to possible take their chances with the mover and add items on-site day of service. Inevitability, this cost again increased on-site as the mover saw they had additional items. Finally, a claims email was sent to the customer to file an insurance claim and we are sorry that they incurred broken or damaged items. This is part of moving unfortunately, and why insurance is available. If the customer needs assistance with the claims process, we can assist. When calling the customer service line we would ask that they be patient as the calls are answered in the order they are received. -One Source Van Lines
