Charged for custom moving boxes and not reimbursed as promised Reports & Reviews (1)

- Bath, PA, USA • Oct 15, 2024

Was promised that my move would have no additional charges over the flat rate for any wrapping of my 2 mirrors and a tv entertainment unit. I was clear and adamant that it was included in the price as I've had trouble in the past with extra charges with movers. The salesperson Warren insisted this would not happen and "gave me his word"! Movers show up and refuse to pack up my mirrors and unit without purchasing their "custom boxes" at $90.00 each or they would leave. I told them I was told they could wrap the 2 mirrors & unit safely in blankets for free. They refused to do so, and said that was not an option. They reiterated they would leave and not do the job if I did not agree to custom boxes. I immediately called the AVL offices. Left 4 messages and spoke to representatives who kept saying management was busy. After almost 2 hours AVL finally called me back...(in the meantime the movers refused to start the job while we waited the 2 hours to hear from AVL management). The movers knew my 80 year old mom had to be out that day as her house had sold. They knew I was now under duress for them to not leave as I HAD to be out that day.

Finally an American Van Lines representative called me back and promised I'd be reimbursed for the packing at the end of the job. She explained to me that the actual movers at my house were a 3rd party so I should let them charge me, but no worries because AVL would take it off the final bill and reimburse me.

I was NOT reimbursed. In fact they denied saying it! I had even put it in an email at the exact time they promised that to me because I could tell this was shady. So then they denied getting the email. They denied my original agreement. They refused to let me speak to the gentleman I had booked the job with to verify. Earlier they told me he was in and would call me back. Then they said it wasn't "necessary" to speak to him. They charged me $800 to wrap 2-36" mirrors and one unit. (The unit and mirrors weren't even worth $300 total and were 20 years old!) Then they said they would not deliver my moms furniture until I paid the bill in full PLUS the $800 increase. It was fraud. They held my moms furniture hostage until I paid with my credit card. The most unprofessional, underhanded movers I have ever experienced. Absolutely shameful. I pray no one else has to go through this horrible, illegal & traumatic experience and that this review can at least help even one person..... that's why I took the time to write this. I am seeking legal advice as I report this. They should not be ScamPulse.com certified!
