ripoff

They gave me an estimate of $3, 650 for a weight of 7, 000 lbs (MAX). They said it was a conservative estimate. I estimated the weight at 6, 000 lbs. 2 other professional companies estimated the weight at 6, 200 lbs and 7, 000 was a maximum weight. They loaded up all my furniture and then jacked up the estimate to 10, 500 lbs and wanted another $2, 000. This is a total scam and screw job of the consumer. DON'T EVER CONSIDER HIRING THESE THEIFS ! When I asked to talk with the manager they totally avoided and even screened my calls. I called once and they hung up and then when I called and blocked my phone number they then answered the phone. There is 24 complaints against this company at ripoffreport.com. They also have an "F" rating at the better business bureau
