First Choice Moving and Storage Complaint - Worst Moving Company - Long Distance Move
Long Distance Move - Complaint
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- This was the worst moving experience I have ever had. From the very beginning, they were rude, unprofessional, and dishonest. They quoted me for my move from Florida to New Jersey with full packing at $2800. To make a very long story short. On the contracted day of the move, nobody showed up. When I called the office, nobody answered. When I called the driver, he was in Jacksonville and had no idea about my move. He said he could be there 2 days later. This caused me to miss 2 days of work at my new job in New York. When they finally came, they were completely unprepared for a full packing job. The office did not tell the movers that we requested full packing with materials. The foreman came with two untrained movers who had never done a move. When they finally started moving out things, things were thrown around, jammed into boxes and treated very poorly. I witnessed the foreman first hand throwing very valuable books into boxes carelessly. Everything was finally packed 11 hours later which is inexcusable. The total bill was $4500! Even though we had a written estimate that was binding could not be overpriced, they did so anyway and I had no option but to sign the paper because they had everything we own in a truck. When our things arrived 1 month later in New Jersey, a contracted company hired by First Choice moved our things in. They made me pay up front even though I wanted to make sure everything was there first.
They refused to work until I paid the balance. When the move was done, I wanted to go line by line to make sure everything was there, but the mover refused and said he already did that. How am I to believe him? Overall, this was a horrible experience and I need to be repaid for overcharging me and for the days I missed at work because they were late from the contracted move date.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

You should definitely sue them in small claims court for breach of contract, extortion, and property damage.

SC in which jurisdiction? And when the moving company defaults, who will enforce the judgement? Life isn't Christina's Court, you know?

I also think you should take them to small claims court.
