et me tell you my moving story: We decided with my wife to move to argentina, and started browsing for moving companies in the internet. I found this moving company in L.A. called moverquest between several, I called and requested a quote. Barry showed up at home from moverquest and saw all the stuff that I had already packed in plastic containers and furniture, etc. He gives me an impressive quote, and he assured that it can only vary depending on the final weight of the shipment, but he bragged saying that the industry standards were a variation of 10 % but he’s personal standard was 5%, saying that my original quote was $5900. The most expensive company was $7400. I hired them, he was an operator for King Relocation, from United Van Lines. After they picked up my stuff, they come with the surprise that the shipment came higher, and the total was now $ 8400. What happened with the 5% margin of error??? And I would admitted if I added 1000 pounds, but I didn’t. I started talking with the Operations Manager from King Relocation, I believe his name is Martin, annoying guy, they lowered the price a little bit, but still, it was out of my original budget. He offered on the phone to pass the cargo to another company, with no problem, so I called another company and informing them about the exact weight, they quote me $7200. But Mr. Martin, came out that I had to pay $ 1300 for services rendered, which after fighting with them for days, they lowered to $600. Anyways, disgusting situation, taking advantage that they had all my stuff. Here is the funny part, the company that quoted me 7200, it’s an agent of United Van Lines, funny huh?? The name of the company I used is Suddath International, which they told me that the same thing happened to another customer, a couple of months ago. Do not use this people, they are lying to everybody, and they are annoying. Send me an email if you have any questions, I have emails to proof everything.
King Relocation should lose United Van Lines representation.
I want my $600 back!!!!!!!!!
