Starving Students Complaint - Horrible, Unskilled Workers, Deliberately Scamming Customers, Worst Company Ever! - Apartment Move

Apartment Move - Complaint

Review by Kagan on 2009-04-13

After considering several companies, we decided to go with Starving Students because the clerk I talked to sounded quite professional and prices were quite reasonable. So moving day comes, and they are supposed to be at our apartment at 8 AM--the guy said it will be more like 7.30. Great... 8 AM comes and goes. I call them and the guy tells me a smaller job came up and they will handle it first and then come do our place. So by the time they show up, it's 1.30 PM! The two fellas looked like neither professional movers nor skilled workers. And the whole move for a 2-bedroom apartment took 7 hours excluding the road! Some of our furniture was damaged, and some of it damaged the floor of our new place while they were moving stuff around. I never felt this scammed in my life! It is obvious that they deliberately were slowing down their work in order to charge us more. So for a move of about 5 miles distance, we paid close to $750 dollars! And one more thing: The moment one of the guys saw our new place (which is a quite nice apartment) he practically started yelling at us for some superficial reason. He was simply jealous! I couldn't believe it.

If you have any type of common sense, just don't let these people make a penny off of you. They are just a bunch of scam artists.
