You can't do that if you must move THAT DAY. That is why this scam works so much, people are hamstrung by time. If you didn't have to move, then you would say no. Of course. But you have to move. Really what causes all this is the lack of a patriarchy. Back in the day, your adult sons and your husband would move your things. But people are increasingly childless and unmarried so (of course) single women and old people are hamstrung by their physical limitations. If older people had adult sons that cared about their parents that lived nearby and/or you were happily married to a healthy man, then this doesn't happen. Then men in your family go to Uhaul and take care of all this themselves. The only bill the rental of a truck and the miles on the truck. But our patriarchy is gone and feminism can't lift furniture. So women/old people who are scammed (its never young men) must seek out the media to be empowered because they can't do for themselves.

@brianrowe9951 Жыл бұрын

@@amy109 some may be legitimate. With Covid the moving companies just had the customer do a video walk thru of what was being moved so it might be more stuff when the movers pick it up. The guys picking up the stuff don't make much so they add fees for elevators, stairs, heavy objects or carrying everything a long ways. Moving companies have a lot of expenses. Most of them are greedy and bad but a few companies do a good job. My truck is $1500 a week plus about $500per day in fuel. This is not counting the warehouse and office cost and other employees. If your move is $5,000 there is not much profit.

You should have seen my last military move. I was scheduled to receive our household goods the following morning and called the driver with concerns that the back yard was muddy, so for him to use the front yard. He informed me that he offloaded 45 minutes from the house that morning. I was livid! My delivery was two days late, wasting two days of someone's time that came to help me get settled so I could get to work. Then, when delivery was made, every blanket and padding had been removed. Antique mahogany dressers with the Queen Anne feet busted off of them, and an 1899 family heirloom buffet came in the door broken into three pieces. The frame of the quality sleeper sofa was broken when they dropped it off of the truck. A bookcase of career souvenir mugs was knocked over, resulting in the loss of nearly all of the items. It was an absolute nightmare. I have never seen a move with such extensive damage. These are just highlights. My claim was seven pages long!

My wife called a tow company who said they would come and tow it from our place to the garage( about 5 - 6 km.) for $45. She was told he works with this garage and they will pay him. Ten minutes later the garage calls up and said the tow truck is demanding $150 cash or he won't drop it. She agreed because what else was she going to do. We only got the money back because we got dirt on the tow truck driver and threatened to report him to the authorities. Ten minutes later a car rolls up and a little kid jumps out and runs up to the door with the cash.

When they reach the final destination they said they won't unload unless I paid the remaining balance. I don't I have a choice so I gave them the rest. After paying they started unloading my staff then I went inside the house. After unloading they left most of my staff including furniture outside and they left.

Okay so this program came out a long time ago. I know it came out 2013 but I’ll break down what happened afterwards. *UPDATE* The owner and most of the movers were arrested in 2010. The sons owned like 20 moving names and they switched them out a lot if you noticed at the end they painted over it on van that’s why. One of the stories not mentioned really irked me “In one recent case, Hooper said, a Haitian couple was allegedly forced to go to an ATM machine and withdraw their last dollar to pay for the rising costs involved with what was supposed to be a $300 move. Police said the movers then jettisoned the couple’s belongings onto the street and drove away.” They got what they deserved. The car he drove which was part of the company was taken. Oh and he was a millionaire on welfare.

@ryandonnelly8901 2 жыл бұрын

When it's moving day, normally your lease is expiring soon (same day, next couple days) and you need to move out asap to avoid being charged with more fees from the company you rent from or being literally kicked out from the house. You've been planning this move for weeks, told there are no extra charges, all the other moving companies are likely booked (including Uhaul, with my experience) WEEKS in advance. You absolutely need this stuff moved and you are hit with extra $$$ slowly (like the deposit pre-moving and then the hidden fees after the stuff is loaded). If you've never moved, it makes sense you'd not understand the stress and planning it takes.

Rick's Giggle their scam was preying on people who hired them (based on a verbal quote). Those customers so relied on them that they had no backup plan and were moving at the last minute. Since they needed to move that day there was no way for them to hire another company and get them to come out that fast. It is really bad- a bad thing to do to people on Moving day (keep adding charges and holding their furniture hostage). Luckily I make a habit of moving well in advance of when I need to be out.

Similar with my situation a few years ago. I was quoted whatever rate at a 4h minimum. I had little furniture, moving apartments, and everything was in/out in less than 30min, plus 45min drive time. After my stuff was collected, they demanded a deposit and that I pay for 6-8h labour, saying now I have to pay them all their travel fees from their last job to me, and pay them for their travel time home after dropping my stuff off. I refused to pay 'til the end because I knew it was never going to take as long as they were claiming i owed them for. I still ended up paying almost $250 over my initial quote though.. and this show is right, i was mostly at their mercy. Only small "victory" for me was that I made them finish all the work and inspected it all before paying. Scummy pricing tactics aside, they were actually professional though. Everything was wrapped, they had carts and blankets/rugs to slide and transport everything safely.

Had a familiar story involving ransom. I was living in my grandparent's basement in Edmonton & got in trouble one day. My supposed cousin came over and gave me a scare tactic by driving me downtown to a place called 'Tent City', which is a place where the homeless reside. When we got back home, he forced me to pack up my Pokemon Merchandise, including my copy of Ultra Moon, an old 2DS XL, and a halloween costume, as well with tons of pop. I was showing an attitude when packing up and he strangled me. When I moved out and got a job, I ordered to have my belongings back. His brother said he'll help out, but it will take some time. Around late March of 2021, my cousin wanted 180.00 to have my belongings back all because of a grocery bill my grandfather helped me with. I had a police escort down to his residence around early April of 2021 to pick everything up. I did get my merchandise back, but I'm still missing my DS, Ultra Moon, and the Halloween Costume.
