Please - NEVER-NEVER- NEVER, use Public Movers! My experience with them was more horrible than I ever imagined possible, and I had heard many moving horror stories My "binding" quote from [redacted] which I updated with her several times before my move date meant nothing On my move date, needing to catch a plane in hours, I was told by the moving supervisor that my bid was too low by $and that my boxes were inadequate???? When I told him I had a binding quote that I had updated and felt was VERY accurate, he said either I agree to the higher quote or they would leave, leaving me in the lurch Funny, when I CALLED THE OFFICE, NO ONE ANSWERED!!! I HAD NO CHOICE I bought "better" boxes and tape from them, quickly repacked all my boxes, and continued the move out Then the supervisor had the gall to asked me to tip him and his crew I opted to have Public store my goods for days until my new place became available Despite many calls asking for a review of my higher moving day quote, I never got a call back from anyone During the days my things were in storage, I called many times to reiterate that I had started a new job, could not ask for time off, so the movers HAD to be in my new location on Sunday, the 1st I was told MANY times that would be no problem However, as the date for the arrival of the truck drew closer, the info from them became more vague - bad weather, road conditions, etc may delay the arrival of the van, but "don't worry" The van was to arrive Sunday the 1st I called Wed, Thurs, and ZFri, but never received a call verifying that the van would arriveSunday the 1st came and went I called repeatedly, never getting a call back weeks later, after calling the Attorney General, I got a call at work saying the van would be at my new place and I needed to pay the balance , in cash, before the truck could be unloaded I explained that I could not get away, especially with no notice, and they would have to wait until I returned from work at 5: They said no, that would not work It was much trouble to get away , get cash and let them in I drew a map of where I wanted the furniture That was completely ignored and I had to end up moving almost all the furniture again, because they ignored my map and placed the furniture haphazardly MUCH BREAKAGE!!!! My glass top to my dining room table was dropped - it shattered into a million pieces, and they just left the mess Lamps, my bicycle, dishes etc were broken I called them to say they needed to come back and correctly place my furniture, but of course I never got a call back I was heart broken and furious at the way I was treated I felt I did everything to communicate with them and they did absolutely nothing in return I was SO ANGRY that they NEVER returned any of my calls - I always had to call them back and then the outcome- TERRIBLE THey had me over a barrel and they knew it and treated me accordingly However, I take comfort in believing that what goes around, comes around I hope they go out of business BEWARE OF PUBLUIC MOVERS There were some good reviews online when I contracted with them, but I am sure they must have written them, because now, I see nothing but bad reviews
