"Carolina Moving Labor Company" Based in Charleston South Carolina two men were hired to load a 26 FT. U-Haul truck & a 12x10 U-Haul utility trailer for a move from South Carolina to Michigan. Two movers whom were very polite and courteous so nice I tipped each one $20.00 I was to busy to see how they loaded the truck.

The nightmare began after I started unpacking the truck in Michigan. On the way we ran over some road debris that tore the tread off part of the left front tire, the load shifted inside the truck because of the lame packing. U-Haul insurance will not cover damages to a shifting load U-Haul was very quick & prompt at fixing the tire I am quite satisfied with U-Haul and have no complaints with them.

Most of my Antique furniture, my solid Oak dining set and the Kincaid Cherry bedroom set all suffered chips, deep gouges and broken & cracked legs on some of the Oak & Cherry pieces and scrapes and wear rub marks from not being properly covered with the fifty or so furniture pads I rented from U-Haul. I furnished rope to secure items & tape to secure furniture pads I had 90% of items in box's well packed & secured. Box's were crushed along with other items when the load shifted many things were broken or crushed.

I hired these yo yo movers from U-Hauls Move option "Carolina Moving Labor Company" I chose this company for its very good reviews. The reviews must have been for mostly local moves because they are not experienced for a trip as long as mine for almost a 900 mile one way trip.

I spoke with the manager of "Carolina Moving Labor Company" & he said it was my problem & he is not responsible for how his movers packed. I asked him very nicely to resolve my damages & he was unwilling to budge said "what did I expect when I paid so little to have the movers bust their butt to hurry to get the job done in the little three hour time frame". I paid another full hour for 45 minutes of their time after my first three hours & was willing to pay more until the job was done.

Bottom line they were more then likely booked for another job after me & were in a hurry to get mine done it was obvious.
That is how I felt when I asked them to stay longer I was willing & prepared to pay for that. The two movers were in such a hurry running in & out of my house that they did not completely fill the 26 Ft truck and only filled a third & of a 12x10 U-Haul utility trailer. I had to leave a lot of my things behind that I must now go back & get the rest of my stuff when my husband moves up here which could be many months from now.


UPDATE 10/08/09

I received from my review email from moving help .com a partner Of U-Haul for moving help & labor for "Carolina Moving Labor Company" of Charelston SC so I could leave a review for this lame company. Well I posted a bad review & guess what it did not show up on the moving help website for these cracker jack truck loaders.

You want to know why?? The company changed their name to "The Moving Crew" after I complained to the manager and said I was going to post a bad review and his answer in a cocky voice was I quote "blog all you want to honey" . So here I am!

I called Moving Help a partner with U-Haul and was told the bad review will still be on "Carolina Moving Labor Company's" record but will not show up n the "Carolina Moving Labor Company" review page which is currently still up & running even because of a so called name change. I was also told by Moving Help that all the company's featured on their website any business can change their name at anytime for any reason.

I said this is a flawed review system I hired Carolina Moving Labor Company" because they were at the top of the page as top rated with nearly 100% good reviews. So there is no way to knowing if you hired responsible labor help because if you complain to the offending company they just change their name at will. Because of this loophole people are being scammed by Moving Help a partner with U-Haul into thinking the review system is on the up & up.

By the way compare the photos of my packed truck & furniture at http://blufox51.xanga.com/ to the photos on Carolina Moving Labor of Charleston SC advertisement at http://www.carolinamovinglaborcompany.com/

Note none of my Antiques nor any of my furniture was shrink wrapped and their neat & orderly photo of a packed organized truck compared to how they loaded my truck for a 900 mile trip.
