Worst moving experience ever

Had the absolute worst moving experience of my life with Bust-A-Move. What should have been the easiest and simplest move turned out to be the most frustrating and expensive (for amount of stuff and distance moved). Because I moved most of my belongings on my own, Bust-A-Move only had to move my furniture (from a 1 BR apt) and a few containers out of storage into my new apartment. Both buildings had elevators and the moving distance was less than 2 km. For those of you who are curious and don’t have time to read the rest of my review, the move took a total of 6.25 hours and cost me more than $2000 ($1873 + tip).

When I made moving arrangements with Bust-A-Move, I agreed to a 3-person team. Instead, I was sent a 2-person team (and charged more per mover) because the initially assigned team’s first move of the day was taking longer than expected. While I understand that not all moves go as planned and Bust-A-Move did their best to allow my move to proceed as planned, what happened next was totally within their control.

About an hour into the move, the lead mover asked me if I have a toolkit. Apparently, the team didn't bring one with them, and like all moves, they needed a toolkit to dismantle some of my furniture (bed frame; dining table; sofa). Of course, I didn’t have one because my apartment was empty with the exception of furniture. The movers then had to call the moving company to have one sent over, which took another 45 minutes. While waiting for the toolkit, the movers disappeared (for at least 30 minutes), and I didn’t see them again until the toolkit arrived. They didn’t start dismantling my furniture until two hours into the move!

Though I am willing to forgive Bust-A-Move for sending a team of 2 instead of 3, I found the company’s lack of preparedness, i.e., not bringing a toolkit with them, ridiculous and disturbing because it unnecessarily caused the move to take longer and cost significantly more than it should have. How could a moving company send movers to do a move without a toolkit? This still baffles me to this day. While a number of other things happened, for which I will spare you the details, the worst part of this entire experience was John, the owner of Bust-A-Move. You would think that, at a bare minimum, he would apologize for his team showing up without a toolkit and give me a discount on the move. Of course, he did no such thing and instead got angrier with me as the move went on. Once again, I will spare you the details.

I have moved more than a dozen times in my life. I have done local moves, inter-state moves (I’m from the US), cross-country moves, and international moves. I know how long moves should last and this move should not have taken 6.25 hours. At most, it should have lasted 3 to 3.5 hours. In fact, when I arranged the move with Bust-A-Move, the person I spoke with estimated that it would take 2 hours since I would be moving most of my belongings on my own. Furthermore, because I was sent a team of 2 instead of 3, I ended up getting charged more per mover. Given that I had agreed to a team of 3, I should have been charged the same rate per person. Instead, I was charged $34 more per hour for the same amount of work output. FYI, their rate is $250 per hour for 3 movers and $200 per hour for 2 movers. To make matters worse, I never received the follow-up call that I was told I would receive approximately one week after the move. It’s been almost 2 months since I moved so it’s become clear to me that they won’t be following up. This lack of follow-up proves beyond a doubt that management doesn’t care about their clients and is not seeking to improve their services. For those of you considering Bust-A-Move, I highly recommend that you look elsewhere. This company, especially its owner, lacks professionalism, provides extremely poor customer service, and will seriously overcharge you.

The move was great, I was worried some furniture would be too heavy but Marius told me no worries its nothing for them. I then relaxed and all three gentlemen were so friendly and understanding of my anxiety. They were prompt and fast too. I will tell everyone I know to use this great company. Thank you again
