    It's hit or miss for customer service Right now I'm…read morestanding around waiting for one of the 2 people working here to help me

    I recently relocated from the Tampa Bay area to Blacksburg, Virginia…read more I shipped my belongings in a U-Haul "U-Box" (similar to a "pod"). The closest U-Haul facility to Blacksburg that accepts "U-Boxes" was about 45 miles away in Roanoke. Initially, the move went well. The "U-Box" was packed in Florida, shipped to Roanoke, and then stored in the U-Haul secure facility for two months until my apartment was available. I scheduled a 7:30 AM time to pick up my "U-Box" in Roanoke, reserved a specialized "U-Box" trailer and a full-size pickup truck to pull the trailer and "U-Box", and scheduled a moving company to be on-site in Blacksburg to unload the "U-Box" and move the contents into my apartment. At 7:00AM I was on my way from Blacksburg to Roanoke when the U-Haul manager telephoned. He reported that the facility did NOT have the specialized "U-Box" trailer I'd reserved, but he'd try to find one. The manager mentioned that he didn't know when this might happen as they were busy. I notified the moving company of the delay. The moving company was, understandably, not very happy that their scheduled morning activity suddenly disappeared. I waited until 10:30 am before I phoned U-Haul for an update, which did me absolutely no good at all because i was "on hold" for an hour, so I finally decided to drive the 45 miles to Roanoke to talk to someone "face-to-face". I was on my way there when the manager called, said he'd found the appropriate "U-Box" trailer, and it would be ready to go by 1:00 PM, roughly 5 hours after it was supposed to be ready. I contacted the movers and updated them. Their comment was "We're busy. Text us when you are actually on site, and we'll TRY to work you in, but no promises". I picked up the truck, the "U-Box" and the specialized "U-Box" trailer at 1:15 PM, in Roanoke and was back in Blacksburg by 2:00 PM. I contacted the movers, who told me that they were still busy, but WOULD work me in after they completed their afternoon job. The movers DID work me in at 5:00 PM, and I returned U-Haul's equipment by 7:00 PM. One day's rental= $100. My experience suggests that customers have not only one, but several alternative plans should "Plan A" go sideways. It's also a good idea to have an extended window of time, like several days, to "make your move" My "Plan A" was using a U-Haul "Moving Help" provider recommended on the U-Haul website to transport the "U-Box" from Roanoke to Blacksburg, unload the contents, and return the "U-Box" to Roanoke. At the last minute, the U-Haul provider declined the job, even though I paid $450 in advance. Fortunately, I'd planned to be stiffed, and had reserved a pickup truck at U-Haul to transport the "U-Box" myself. I'd also found three other labor-only moving contractors on Craigslist, had contacted them for estimates, and had the contact information handy. Incidentally, the U-Haul "Moving Help" provider that declined the job at the last minute (even though I'd paid $450 in advance) was "White Gloves". I don't know why this happened. The company representative told me that they didn't do "U-Boxes", even though they were clearly listed on the website as being able to provide this service. I emailed this company twice to confirm the services needed, and got zero response. I texted twice, with similar results. A representative called me once and assured me that we were good to go, but called later, at the last minute, changing his mind. WTF? It's worth noting that U-Haul is almost impossible to contact, and "Moving Help" is even more difficult. The only way I reached a representative was by posting a negative comment on Twitter. So, think twice before using U-Haul, think several times before using "Moving Help", and have several backup plans, cash, and loads of patience!

    I ship a lot of stuff as I run e-commerce businesses so I come a lot and it's smooth most of the…read moretime but when i'm hustling trying to pack everything in time and I arrive at 5:50 (with the open sign still lit) and am told they don't feel like it because it's close to closing time it kinda rubs me the wrong way. I'll be shipping through the post office from now on but I have had some good experiences here no doubt.

    I attempted to take two packages to this location for UPS. I watched from my car while a pair of…read moremen left, one with a mask one without. So I walked in with my daughter not wearing a mask. Say what you will, but some people do have medical reasons for not wearing them. I don't owe anyone an explanation regarding my medical reasons, nor do I expect to be discriminated against as a result of. That in mind... while the man wearing the Cheetos T-shirt was assisting two customers rather slowly I might add, I stood about 15 feet away with my daughter and my two packages. A few minutes after waiting he looks to me directly and tells me... You need to put a mask on. So... I did. I put a mask on. It covered part of my mouth but not my nose. My daughter wore hers under her nose. A moment later the man is looking at ME again, and says... You need to wear the mask the right way. I say, "There's no law stating how I have to wear this mask." There isn't. In fact, already by the way he's treating me in front of other customers... I'm feeling incredibly discriminated against and harassed. I find it to be incredibly unprofessional for an employee to behave in this manner. He continues on with how I need to place it over my face. He did not tell my daughter how to wear her mask. I found that to be pretty odd, that he was so focused in upon me specifically. I said, you know what, I'll just leave. Frankly there are other means to mail off packages... so I went to the UPS office in Dublin and guess what... mailed my packages off for CHEAPER, and the woman there was a hell of a lot nicer and more professional... plus there was no wait. NRVShipping, shame on you... You will never have my business again, and you know, discrimination is bullshit. I've read several times Governor Northams speech and he clearly states that there are instances where people are NOT required to wear a mask, one of them being for health conditions. It is not for anyone at NRVShipping to determine what my health conditions are, or question me, or shame me publicly as a result of. Health conditions or not, I too still have things that I must do in life. Given the choice, I would certainly not have been coming into a shipping company of all places for a good time.
