    Damage
    Anas R.

    Moving is stressful enough, and this company made it way harder. It all started when they arrived and asked one of us to stand outside and watch the truck the entire time to avoid getting a ticket. I've used multiple moving companies before, and that has never happened. While we don't live in a fancy Beverly Hills house, most of our furniture is from West Elm, Pottery Barn, and includes expensive pieces like Herman Miller desks and chairs. I specifically asked the movers to use blankets and shrink wrap on items I didn't want scratched or dented. Instead of doing that, Aziz immediately snapped at me, saying he's been in the business for ten years and never had a problem with anyone. He told me to stop bothering them and let them do their job. The other mover chimed in, saying they move furniture more expensive than mine all the time with no issues. Looking back, I should have told them to either follow my instructions or leave. I had enough time to find another company that would do the job the way I wanted. But instead, Aziz spent more time talking about his decade of experience and how they had insurance that would cover any damages if they occur, rather than just using that time to carefully pack the items as requested. He made the entire move extremely stressful for me. Despite everything, I paid him in cash and even tipped him, trusting that they knew what they were doing. He reassured me that nothing would get damaged, even without blankets because they are professional movers and know how to move uncovered furnitures gently without causing any damage. But when I went back to the apartment later, I found scratches and dents on multiple pieces of furniture. I actually witnessed some of the damage myself--like when a Pottery Barn nightstand took a hit while being lifted up a curb without any padding on the trolley. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called the owner of the company the next morning, frustrated and upset. Instead of understanding, he told me that customers often give "opinions" on how to do their job, but the movers don't have to listen because "they know better."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He offered to reimburse me for the nightstands at $1 per pound--which came out to $17 for both. That was incredibly disappointing. When I buy furniture, I'm not paying by the pound. Later that day, the owner and Aziz came to my house for an "investigation." They looked at the damage and claimed all of it was pre-existing, refusing to take responsibility. Aziz again brought up his ten years of experience. I told him I didn't care about his résumé--I cared about how they handled my furniture. Aziz left the conversation in frustration, and I spent another hour talking to the owner. He was more polite but still refused to accept any responsibility. He even told me Aziz didn't think the nightstands were worth more than $80, which is why he didn't bother protecting them. He was shocked to hear they cost $400 each. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner also told me I should have called him the moment Aziz refused to cooperate. But with Aziz acting like he was the one in charge and constantly mentioning his experience, I assumed he was the owner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had no idea there was someone else I could escalate to. Thankfully, I insisted that the Herman Miller chairs be completely wrapped, or they weren't going on the truck. Otherwise, they probably would've been damaged too and they would have said it was just old pre-existing scratches/dents. I heard from the owner that they like to cover desk chairs so that they can roll them versus carrying them but I did not want $2500 Herman Miller customer chairs rolling outside. To be clear: if they had done what I asked and a few minor damages happened, I would've accepted that. Accidents happen. But they flat-out refused to follow reasonable instructions and didn't take proper precautions with any of my furniture. In the end, the owner said he'd send me $100 as a "complimentary discount" without admitting fault. But $100 isn't going to fix the damage done to half my furniture. He said if I wanted more, I'd have to sue in small claims court--and warned me that judges don't care about damages from his experience from going to court because moving companies are only liable for $1 per pound. That made me think they've probably damaged furniture before and have been through this process with other customers. Bottom line: If you have anything nicer than IKEA furniture, do not hire this company. They won't take precautions, they'll argue with you, and they'll deny responsibility if anything goes wrong. If your movers from this company especially Aziz are acting arrogant and refusing to cooperate, send them home and hire someone else--which I wish I had done. Every other moving company I've worked with did exactly what I asked without attitude. These guys are cheaper for a reason, and now I understand why.
