Avoid this company at all costs!!…
I am very disappointed in 3 Brothers Moving. It seems like there was miscommunication every step of the way. We were underquoted for the price of our move. What we thought was going to be $3200 turned into $4700! It seems they subcontracted each step of the move. The movers who showed up worked for a different company than 3 Brothers. They were 7 hours late, and they were rushing to get done so they could get to the warehouse to store our stuff. They left behind important items that we luckily saw and were able to take with us. The delivery is an absolute joke. After they loaded up all of our stuff, they confirmed our first available day for delivery and THEN told us that they actually have 2 week window after that day to deliver the items. They told us an amount to expect to pay the driver upon delivery. They told us it was cash only. So…we prepared for that and had the cash ready. So the day FINALLY arrives for us to get our stuff. The driver calls and says he can’t get into our apartment complex because he is in an 18 wheeler and we will have to pay $500 extra for him to deliver our items from the street. So basically our stuff was held hostage if I didn’t pay him. I went no got the extra cash and paid him and then he decided he could probably get his semi into the parking lot. He parked in a large open space by our building but refused to give me my $500 back because it was still a “long walk” to the door. I asked to speak to someone else about this and he called a lady who told me that the $500 was for his time because he is “just a driver” and it takes a long time to unload all of this stuff by himself. They would not refund me and said that the money is because he will deliver all items and assemble etc and he deserves to be paid for his time. Well he didn’t assemble ANYTHING. He was on the phone chatting with someone the whole time that he was bringing in our items. We had to assemble all of the furniture that the movers took apart. Several of our items that the movers packed were damaged, but he made us sign the form that we received all of our items before he unloaded anything. I will never use this business again and I will caution all others against it as well. I have never been so displeased with a service. Do NOT use this company!
Response from Movers & PackersJun 27, 2023
Leigh Anne, I apologize that you were less than satisfied with your move, and apologize for the delay in responding. After receiving your complaint we had requested the paperwork and information regarding your move from the carrier to investigate the situation. I do wish you had called us during the pickup or informed us that there was additional charges at the time of service. The inventory sheets from the time of pickup indicates that there was several items not on the inventory you provided us. The information you had provided us was 78 pieces and according to the paperwork from the driver they loaded 110 items. We completely understand that it is not possible to remember every single item that is going to be moved. Our estimates are based upon the volume of the items. Your final charges are based upon the final inventory and the volume of what is loaded. The paperwork indicates that there was an additional 32 items adding an additional 100 cubic feet of volume. As with any estimate for services if the final scope of work is larger or smaller than what is originally agreed upon the final price will be adjusted to reflect so. As for the additional fees at the time of delivery, as per the contract, if they do not have access for a 18 wheeler or they need to carry the items from the truck over 75 feet to the home there will be additional charges assessed. Based upon information provided from the driver there was more than 75 feet from the door the the truck. If they had to park the semi on the main road and not the parking lot near the building google maps has it listed as 50 ft just to the building, not counting to any distance between the front of the building to the apartment door. As of this morning the carrier is actively reaching out to the carrier to get you reimbursement for the funds as they believe this was excessive for a long carry fee as well. The carrier stated that they have reached out to you and informed you of the status of this as well. Please feel free to reach out to customer service if you need any further information.
