"Moving Company Rants | Bad Movers Moving company nightmares: What you need to know before you move Ever hear of moving company horror stories? That’s what we’re talking about today I’m a local realtor in San Jose, Santa Clara County, CA. I Represented buyers on a recent transaction and it was, for the most part, smooth. Until Moving day... Sellers opted to use a moving company that I'll name later- so stay tuned! This company quoted them $6k to move. Moving day came and went and they didn’t show up. The sellers finally got a hold of them and they said they were delayed a day, Oh and by the way, it’s not $6k anymore its $15K THAT IS EXTORTION in my book. They showed up and the truck was only big enough to move half the house. AND the movers couldn’t come back again until next month Now I’m sure by now you’re feeling bad for the sellers- and we all do, but a lso my clients who bought this house. They feel bad for the sellers, and they have a fumigation scheduled for the next day which had to be pushed. They are scheduled with another mover to get their stuff moved. They’re panicking because they need a place to live. They just terminated their lease so in essence, they may not have a place to move. Finally, two days ago the seller's friend winds up moving MOST of their stuff into storage. There’s still left over stuff that needs to be removed. Which is where I come back in and why I’m driving to the house right now. Luckily I have a truck and I’m going to grab the rest of their stuff and take it to the dump. Because that’s what I do. Again we all feel bad for the sellers. They’re good, hard working people and they did not intend for any of this to happen. They’ve already left for another state I’m sure they’re losing sleep over this. They don’t even know when their stuff will be delivered to their new home Again they were extorted for an extra $9K to move their stuff. The name of the company is Priceline Moving and storage https://www.yelp.com/biz/priceline-moving-and-storage-atlanta?uid=-Wf79rxXUT2H-z-MENw6Pw&utm_source=ashare Also Priceline contracted this particular job out to Konami Moving - https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0TM8wNispNC00YLRSNaiwMDdLNk8xtDRINDVJMzU0tDKoSDNIMTe2SDa0ME1NSkpOMfPizc7PS8zNVMjNL8vMSwcAmyQUaQ&q=konami+moving&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS728US728&oq=konami&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j46j0l5.4419j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 The morale of my story is to make sure you do your due diligence on any company you work with. Check BBB Google them- look at their reviews. YELP Ask for referrals ( again not always the best option (Talk about HVAC companies next) OUR PLAN: Now here's what I plan to do when I move- and you absolutely don’t have to so this. Give away my tools to my friends. Give away my furniture to a family who recently lost their home to a fire or something devastating. Give away everything else to a homeless shelter or a local domestic abuse center. Throw away everything else in a big dumpster Take what’s meaningful and move it into ONE pods and transfer it. My best guess is that I’ll save $15K and that’s a great start for some new furniture. Because after all we’re starting a new chapter of our lives. Why not get a really fresh start? Alright so that’s my rant for this month.
