Unethical
Today they arrived and examined the junk. They quoted a price verbally and I agreed. But they removed a portion of it and demanded more money to complete the removal. Totally unethical. Better to get the quote in writing. Disappointing service.
Initially they quoted $478 including tax. I agreed and started removing the junk. They stopped in the middle and demanded more money - $538.

800-Got-Junk ... Very Dissapointed
We hired 800-Got-Junk many times over the past 12 years in the Farmington / Avon CT area but this last time was a rip off. We are quite familiar with their pricing model and have had no issues in the past. But this crew was set to rip us off from the start. We showed them exactly waht was being picked up: 1 bedroom dresser, 1 small bedroom wicker bureau, 1 single mattress, 1 single box spring, 15 kitchen size garbage bags containing clothes, dishes, etc... They said pricing would be based on 3/8th or 1/2 of the truck which I immediately disputed and the team leader said we would know for sure just how much of the trick our stuff occupies when the truck is loaded. It took the crew about 20 minutes to load the truck and it clearly was less than 1/4 full. The two person team argued that it was 3/8th full. I estimated that they could quadruple what was in the truck and maybe that would fill it.

They would not let up so we agreed to pay for 1/3 plus $50 for the mattress and another $50 for the box spring. So really a less than a 1/4 full truck, 20 minutes of work, cost $588. Ridiculous!

Wer will NEVER call these guys again! They just lost a loyal customer.

Not even worth 1 star
Don't ever use this company. They will scam you and double the prices and add extra "surcharges" for no reason. I use to work for them [trainer] and hated doing this to customers, but if you wanted a job, you had to. Take it from me. Do NOT use this company.

Denies Responsibility for Employee's Damages
I paid this company $600 to remove junk from my house. The weight of the employee & and all that he was carrying caused him to break an indoor step while he was going downstairs. He took full responsibility for causing the damage but his supervisor in (Columbia, South Carolina) denies that 1 person can cause 1 step to break & he said, it's the customer's responsibility to provide a safe environment for the employees.

My house is safe & to remove items, the employee had a choice to use the ramp outside or go down the steps in the game room and he chose the steps and broke one.

After paying this company $600, this supervisor can't take the responsibility to spend way less than $600 to repair 1 step that his employee damaged. And his mind is set that it was not the employee's fault.

I'm going to take every necessary approach to see that this company repairs that step. This is not fair to consumers. Their employees can accidentally cause some form of damage at anyone's home or business and 1-800 Got Junk should take full responsibility.

Excellent service!!!
I called 1-800-Got Junk this morning at 11:30 am and booked an appointment in San Jose, CA. They were here by 12:05 pm and asked how they could help me. I showed them everything I wanted them to take and they gave me an estimate. Anthony M and Max were very professional and finished the job within 30 minutes. They allowed me to make sure everything was removed to my satisfaction, which it was. This is the second time I have used this service, and I was very happy each time. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!

Best Service from GOT JUNK in RENO NV
Hi received service from GOT JUNK in Reno NV in March 2021. We were moving and didn't have time to take everything to the dumps. I contacted GOT JUNK and received a phone call back to schedule an appointment. A young man named Kevin Andrews was the gentlemen who came to our rescue. He was awesome, very kind, and did his job well. I am very pleased with GOT JUNK services here in RENO, NV.

Ridiculous ! Asked me for tools (sockets and wrenches) to help them dismantle furniture
1. Who shows up without basic hand tools in this business? Who asks the homeowner to furnish the basic hand tools?
2. Who shows up without a lift gate truck when they know in advance that there are heavy items to move? Not even a ramp!
3. Who starts to move items, stops the job and leaves partially dismantled items furniture items in the middle of a hall? Leaves and never returns to finish the job?
Never calls. Never apologises. "Customer Service" promises to call but never does.
4. Who sends a corporate review form, promises to call within 24 hours to solve issues and never does?
5. Who would ever call again for Junky service ever again from this group? NOBODY!

I give up
I used this company for many years and was very satisfied, pleasant, punctual and reasonably priced. But the last two times I have sent them away, the prices are just silly now. Three hundred dollars to take away a love seat and TV screen? Get serious. Fuel costs have not gone up nor have the prices at the dump. My suspicion is it isn't the front line guys greediness but the company gouging the franchise owners and the customers both. Note to this big fat company, there is lots of competition and people are careful with their money now. This type of pricing is no longer acceptable. And when you refuse to pay the quote they take pictures of your furniture without permission. Creepy.

Review of Rex Wheeldon
Called got-junk Tuesday 77-2020 to PU 4 garage door panels. Rex Wheeldon arrived as scheduled, gave us an estimate, and cut the panels in two. After loading in the truck he cleaned the area ad gave us a receipt.

We were very satisfied with his handling of the project Ken and Patti Marah

They say they can arrive anytime you need them which is not true. I wanted an appointment on a Wednesday at 6 pm and was told they do not come out that late. I set up an appointment on Sunday 2 to 4. At 2:30 they call and said they would be late but not sure how late. They would have some one call me. I called them at 4 pm and was told they were on there way and I should have a call within 10 min. It is now 5 pm and no call and no show. They do not live up to there ad that they come any time that you need them. They do not show up for appointments and the do not care enough to call people back. I regret EVER CALLING THEM. I WILL NOT recommend them. Gave them 1 star since I am unable to give them zero.

Sincerely,[redacted]

Unfortunately, we are at an impasse with this customer. We have not once disputed the fact that we arrived to the work site with a truck that was partially filled. The customer’s wife agreed to have us fill the remaining space in the truck and then return within an hour to complete the job. [redacted] (who was never on-site), contacted his wife shortly thereafter and determined the situation to be unacceptable to him. We then accepted payment only for the items of junk that were actually removed. The pricing was agreed upon before we loaded any items onto the truck, and [redacted] signed the receipt and provided payment. Any misunderstanding that transpired had nothing to do with the on-site explanation of pricing and services, and the only reason that “junk” remains on the premises is [redacted]’s decision to refuse our offer to return to the site to complete the job. A 50% good faith refund is currently being processed by our company and will be forwarded to the [redacted]’s within the next 5-7 business days. Our good faith refund offer was in fact $152.43, and was agreed to entirely in consideration of [redacted]’s perceived negative experience with our company. We see no reason whatsoever to provide a 100% refund for services that were in fact agreed to, and rendered.

Review: Had estimate done for large junk removal on 6.25.2016, estimate done in person by two workers. Estimate was 7 loads or "jobs". Wkend of July 2nd ordered "jobs" on as they call it consisting on 4 truck load removals on July 9 and 3 on July 10. Confirmed job would be the first to go out on July 9th and 10th.

July 9th, they were supposed to arrive between 8 and 10:00. The latter time, although I was first job in the queue, because they may have to empty their truck. They called between 9 and 10 stating that they would not be coming until later because they had two other jobs ahead of me. I let them know that I was supposed to be first in line. I filed a complaint and a customer service person would call me in 48 hrs. They stated that since my order was for an estimate only, they were not obliged to come at all. They would come the next day. I told them that they were wrong, it was a job, next day would be for a job too. They arrived late and took one truck load, one worker was same as showed for estimate. They said that they would come the next day to finish all. All agreed to arrive at 9:30. Next day I arrived at 9:30, they left note stating they missed me and I would have to reschedule. Called main number. Main office stated that my order was for an estimate only (still!) and they would file a complaint, customer service rep would call in 48 hrs (too late). Requested to talk to a manager, they would not go up chain of command. [redacted] from Sacramento called and apologized, stating that his employees had showed up at gate stayed there from 8:30 to 9:00, they reported that a "gardener" was supposed to open gate. We do not have a gardener and no such discussion was given. Guys showed up finally several hours later, did a good job, charged me about 10% less overall for our inconvenience.Same guys from prior day. Note this impacted 7 people some from out of town. They did not finish the work and said would come back next day; I was unavailable next day. They did not perform work requested and lied.Desired Settlement: Provide a written apology from the OWNERS of business so I can share will all seven involved on my side. Provide a reduced billing to Visa by 50%. This whole experience was horrendous. They do not live up to their advertisements. The only reason why they even showed up at all was because I told them that I will be providing poor reviews on the web.

The actual workers were hard workers once they showed up. It is the managers, main call center, owners that screwed up the whole job

Review: The organization says they will quote you a price before starting the job and that wasn't done. When I made the appointment I informed this organization that I have a garage full of construction debris. The workers showed up with a truck that was more than 3/4 full. They put in a few items and charged my wife $368.00, saying it the 1/6 of a truck charge. I wasn't there my wife and son were there I had to work. Then upon leaving they left debris sprawled in the driveway that had to be cleaned up by my son. Their advertisement says they clean the job-site after work is complete. I got on the phone and the worker was rude and didn't answer any questions I asked, he just quoted prices. He was totally unprepared to do the work I requested. However, they put the unwarranted charge through and took advantage of a female. Their advertisement says they will give a quote before working and you can decide on whether to let them do the work. When I called the organization to complain, I was told by the first rep, he would call the driver. It never happened, then upon calling again they supposedly took my information and a resolution expert is suppose to call me back in 48 hours, and if I don't get a call within that time I should call back. Another example of bad service. If you lodge a complaint the matter should be resolved completely, you should not be put off!Desired Settlement: Total Refund. Comapny called me wife saying they would refund $168.00, not good enough, only a total refund is sufficent!

Response:

Our Truck Team arrived at the customer’s home and provided [redacted] with a clear upfront cost estimate, same as we do with the other nearly 200 local jobs that we perform each week. [redacted] agreed to the price and our Team went to work. If we were at “fault” for anything, it was that we could not fit the entirety of the job into the truck that arrived on site. We explained to [redacted] that we would load as much “junk” into the truck as possible, dispose of its contents, and return to her residence to complete the job. Upon hearing of the situation, [redacted] (who was never on-site at any point), called his wife and told her that our service was too expensive and requested that we leave immediately. We received payment only for the volume of “junk” that we actually removed from the home and left the premises. [redacted] then contacted our corporate office to lodge a complaint and asked that our local franchise contact the family as soon as possible. Our [redacted] called the [redacted]’s home and [redacted] answered. It was explained to [redacted] that we were unaware of any wrongdoing, but in an effort to leave her and her husband with a positive experience we offered a refund equal to 50% of the service price - purely out of good faith. [redacted] accepted our offer and we were under the impression that the situation had reached closure. Two days later [redacted] again contacted our corporate office and began - for the first time - to allege “bad service” and “debris left behind.” We have tried to reason with [redacted], but he continues to dismiss the fact that our Truck Team followed all of our company’s explanation of service protocols. They explained to [redacted] that she was under no obligation to accept our cost estimate, and they received pricing approval from [redacted] BEFORE starting the job. We have done everything possible to satisfy [redacted] short of refunding the balance of payment for services rendered. Our company has an impeccable reputation for customer service and integrity, and we see no reason to refund the balance of payment since no one disputes the fact that our company removed and disposed of 1/6 volume of “junk” from the [redacted]’s home.
