Mr*** became our client when we bought the job from *** *** *** his brokerWhen we pick up his household’s goods our foremen told him that once we had the second weight ticket we will email him the breakdown of his relocation base on the exact weigh and provide the final balance
due at delivery we also told him that his households items were in transit and the delivery window is between to daysThe driver call him on Saturday to let him know that his delivery was going to take place on Sunday in the Morning next day drive show up at delivery address and we did not have the balance due ready, that when all the nightmare started without payment driver will not release his items and Obviously on Sundays all banks are close, we give him the option to pay with a credit card but I think we did not have one, so he said that the only day we could take his delivery was on MondayDriver told him that it fine however to hold a tractor trailer and his crew overnight the cost is $dollars(for the equipment for the driver and for his helper.) My opinion here is if you are expecting a delivery within four days why not have the balance due ready in money orders or cash to avoid all this headacheAt this point the five hundred dollars is not refundable we have a truck since Sunday afternoon till today in a full stop waiting for him

In accordance with **and *** ***'s statement, we agree that a leak could exist somewhere in their system, as noted on our invoice # which stated that the system was flat out of refrigerantFreon was added for the purpose of checking for leaksIt also stated that a manger would be coming to confirm the diagnoses the first business day back in the morningAs mentioned previously and taken verbatim from the energy.gov website on refrigerant leaks:If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, either it was undercharged at installation or it leaksIf it leaks, simply adding refrigerant is not a solutionA trained technician should fix any leak, test the repair, and then charge the system with correct amount of refrigerantRemember that the performance and efficiency of your air conditioner is greatest when the refrigerant change exactly matches the manufacturer's specification, and is neither undercharged nor overchargedRefrigerant leaks can also be harmful to the environment.I need to advise **and *** *** that, lack of a proper refrigerant charge is not only failing to provide cooling it will also bring a high electric heating bill during winter seasonUnder charge is also harmful for the compressor operation, and eventually cause it to overheat, like driving a car with engine coolant leaking, consequently inviting, and more major expense to repair.Regardless, keeping the best interest of the customer in mind, we decided to refund in full amount $417.48, as per Mrand *** ***, bring this matter closure

All these things are very easy to say, but they don't seem to line up with the reality that I have seen:"We are very thorough which is why loss of items is such a rare occurrence with our customers."- When the truck arrived at my house and all my items were emptied, there was a stray box and a stray chair sitting in itSo on that truck, I am aware of at least customers who did not receive complete deliveries of 100% of their items."Our movers do everything possible to insure that our customers’ items are safe and secure from the moment we pick up the shipment until the moment we release it back to its owner at the destination."- Except that you lost my items, and only your employees touched my things from the moment they left my home."We are very strict about following proper protocol because it is implemented for good reasons."- *** said the driver confirmed all my items made the truck; his driver said in the same conversation he wasn't there when the truck was loaded.- *** has no records to indicate that my items made the truck when they were sorted in his Boston warehouse, which made it hard to even pinpoint at what point my items were lost.- He does not keep records of where his drivers stop - e.g*** did not know that my driver had to deliver customer's items to a storage facility because they were not ready to receive their items - e.g*** did not know that a pickup was done just before my delivery"At the pickup we tag each box/item with a ticket which is color coded, in chronological numerical order, and each color coded/numbered tag has a specific lot number for the sequence of tickets to help with keeping items together with all the rest of the shipment."- Except that my shipment (with orange stickers) was loaded up next to another customer with orange stickers, which the driver himself said made the delivery process more difficult."We are working diligently to locate her box"- I find that hard to believeMy box has been missing almost months*** is fully paid by meWith all the new customers that have come along and all the other deliveries that have been made in those two months, I'm sure *** is quite busyWhat specific things is *** "diligently doing to locate my box"? I'm curious to knowI have emailed many suggestions of what he could do and haven't heard back regarding any of them."We have searched the truck, the warehouse/storage facilityWe have sent a memo to all of our movers, our warehouse employees, office staff, as well as contacted everyone at satellite locations."- More than month after my box was lost (on 4/15), ***'s contact at the Los Angeles warehouse (where the truck stopped after my delivery), said he has never received the photo of my box from ***I emailed *** to ask him to please forward my photo to *** never replied to that request (weeks)."We have called all the customers whose items accompanied this customer’s shipment in the tractor trailer"- Who exactly/specifically has *** called? When I spoke to him month after my box was lost (on 4/10), he had only called customer (in Oceanside), according to his own wordsHow come his story is different now?- These were the calls I asked him to make that he had not made by 4/when we last spoke: - The customer whose items were loaded into the truck just before my delivery, displacing my items (*** was unaware that there was a pickup before my delivery and that my items were displaced - so clearly he hadn't called them) - The customer whose items were delivered to a storage facility because the customer was not ready for pickup (*** was unsure which customer that was - so clearly the hadn't called him) - The customer who owned the extra box that was found in the truck (perhaps their box was found at the end of the truck's route, meaning they had an extra box delivered originally) - All other customers whose items were in the same truck as mine.Of course I don't need a phone call every dayBut when you make a serious flop by losing a customer's possessions that have been entrusted to you, I would expect some effortI pretty much have had calls back from ***, even when he promised a follow up (see all the notes from my original filing)When I once asked *** why he didn't call as he promised be would, he said "I forgot." What confidence can I have that any diligent work has been done? It's easy to say that you're doing so much, but with hardly any promised calls back, emails replied to, etc., it's really hard to believe.In short, it doesn't look like *** has done due diligence to search for my box, nor to use good processes to keep track of it when he had it

*** ***
