Moving APT

I trusted this company by the reviews from this site. There were no bad review. Boy was I wrong and I hope this review goes through for I will be posting it on Facebook and Tweeter too. These people are a broker. They will book any carrier no matter what their review. They sent me QRS who have nothing but bad review. So watch out for Alex Avalos. He was the salesman. I started with and trusted and that was the last time I heard from him. They could not care with not just your clothes and furniture, but that was all I have in life so I will be posting this as many times I can untl I get my life back.

This is a terrible company! Don't waste your time. They just book whoever, anyone who says they can "move" and harrassing you for days with phone calls. If you don't answer they'll start texting you. When you tell them to stop, they're rude about. The one I had to deal with tried to call me an idiot for intentionally putting in the wrong number to try to avoid being called and demanding to know how they go my number after he tired to come up with excuses.

I was quoted. 68 cents per pound at 2800lbs and then we went back reviewed my stuff and decided to raise it to 3800lbs at. 68 cents with the verbal understanding that I only pay for what I ship and would be credited back at .68 cents per pound well my total weight was 3001lbs and they only credited me back.15 cents what bs! You will also never talk to the person you booked with, I think I've talk to a total for 5 different people and the last one yelled at me!  And you wonder why movers get bad wraps! If you like to get ripped off this is the company for you!

I have been very happy with the Moving APT team. To begin, they sent several timely, organized emails after I booked them clarifying the details of how the day of the move would go (what time they would arrive, their price estimate, etc.). Moving is always stressful and their emails let me know what I should expect and gave me confidence that they were reliable professionals. The day of the move, the Moving APT team arrived exactly on time with a 30 minute warning call so we could be prepared. They were friendly as they packed up the truck, presentable, and very efficient. I was pretty amazed at how quickly they loaded up the truck and how careful they were with our stuff. They packed our large TV screen and other furniture that needed to be wrapped well. When they arrived at our new house, they stopped the clock for a break and ate some food. They were tidy and nice to talk to --- they all seemed like nice guys with families and I felt comfortable with them in my home. They handled everything very delicately. While packing, I ran out of packing paper last-minute and ended up packing a medium box full of glasses wrapped in thin tissue. Not a single glass broke.
 
I'm very happy with the experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable movers in the Florida.

This company has been an absolute nightmare. They are out to ook you and get your money, and then dump you.  In brief:    
1) They told me they were going to overestimate my shipment weight during the booking process to ensure that there was enough space on the truck, but assured me that I would only pay for the actual weight of my shipment.  The truck was not weighed before and after loading as was promised.  I contacted MovingAPT and was assured repeatedly that this would be done before and after unloading.  When they showed up to unload, they had no weight, and MovingAPT refused to honor their agreement, telling me if I really wanted a weight, they would put my stuff back in storage for weeks to months until they had time, and that they would charge me more.  In the end, I paid for their purposefully overestimated weight, not what I actually shipped.  
 
 
2) They are impossible to reach.  Their booking number for new customers goes straight to a person, but if you try to reach customer service, it takes many messages, and sometimes weeks, to get a call back.  I logged all my calls and often had to leave 10 to 15 messages before someone would call back.    
 
 
3) They book me with a carrier (Sammy Services) who is irresponsible and exercised no care for my belongings.  Over 20 of 50 boxes were missing, furniture arrived unwrapped and heavily damaged, and boxes were crushed and torn open showing extreme negligence. The delivery also took 7 weeks because the carrier "could not find a truck." When informed of all of this, MovingAPT had no problem with it and informed me that they would continue to use this carrier for future customers.

First and foremost, Don't do it. Now to tell you why..
1- Moving APT is a broker. This caused alot of confusion when another company ( Public movers ) showed up to pick my stuff. They had some objections about dessembling my bed room, claiming this is "too complicated" since it was from ikea. When calling moving APT, there was no direct connection between the two.
2- Also initial stimates by the broker do not have to match the mover actual special weigh station numbers ( which are VERY suspicious). the yweigh the stuff at CAT weigh stations, which are scattered and maybe over 60 miles from your place (my case).
3- Moving APT uses weight for their estimate. So for a 1 BD romm apt with the items I noted they estimated the total as 32000 pounds. The price was 1500$. (they use the deceptive language of "oh we usually over estimate, so don't worry") However, when movers came and weighed my stuff it came down to 52000 pounds ! charged me 3200$ instead !! calling them again.. no valid response..
Moving on..
4- Damaged items and missing items ( I don't understand how they miss items after they color label your items with a special color! ).
5- Worse part.. When complained, the complaint company is a third party!!. (movingclaims.net) so there is a lot of confusion in the whole process. and this is a very lengthy process ( three months and no word from resolution center yet). 
Bottom line.. Don't do it. I would rent a Uhaul and people to load and unlaod and drive it myself instead ( in my calculations it would have saved me 1700$)
I read bad reviews about them but not too many so I didn't listen .. Too late !

I had the worst experience with Moving APT.  The company took the upfront money and gave the business to Quality Relocation Services in Colorado.  I had a bad feeling when two guys in an Enterprise rental truck pulled up.   Almost three months later my goods arrived. The driver, by himself driving a semi, said he could not get into the city, so I had to agree to pay for a rental truck so he could get to the destination.  Then there was the matter of damage to a bureau and the complete loss (as in not devered) of a sofa.  During the transit time, Moving APT was of zero help.  It was very difficult to get Customer Service to answer or respond.   I figured out that the only way to talk to someone was to call the reservations line. someone was always there for new business.  Current customers, forget it.   My impression of Moving APT is that it is a broker like business farming out the commissions to the lowest bidder.  If you are thinking of moving your goods and you come across Moving APT on the web, run for your life! Do not go near them.  .
