Qualified Movers LLC

As so many other reviews say, this company is definitely a scam. The initial estimate was reasonable so I used them for my move. Bank withdrawal only was a red flag but I was in a bind and paid the deposit. My move consisted of a small 2 bedroom double wide into a storage unit. A week before the move, Anthony/Tony called and we reviewed my move. I needed to change a couple of things in the inventory and Anthony/Tony encouraged me to pay an additional $250 to ensure extra space needed. I paid the $250. Move day came and the box truck and 3 men showed up. As soon as they walked in, the driver immediately started complaining about the amount of stuff I had and the time it would take to load. Very rude and unprofessional to say the least. Of course I had to sign the paper work, which did not reflect the additional $250 I paid, before they would start loading. The driver called dispatch at Cosmos Transport and Betty told him the $250 was never received from Qualified Movers. After many emails, texts and phone calls, I have yet to receive the $250 refund. I even provided the bank statement to both Qualified Movers and Cosmos Transport, showing the withdrawal by Qualified Movers. I was told the proof didn't matter. I also had to pay an additional $800 for storing my belongings a few days past the initial 30 days free.

The initial estimate was $4,962. I ended up paying over $10,000 for my move. They are scammers, cheaters, liars, thieves and any other derogatory word you can think of to describe them. I read a few positive comments but they were probably written by family members or friends of both companies.

DO NOT HIRE THEM!!!

Qualified Movers contacted me regarding my move and offered an unbeatable price. They gave the appearance of a professional company and convinced me they could not take a credit card for the deposit (RED FLAG). I gave them my checking account information and they took the $700 deposit.

I called before their 72 hour cancellation period was over but somehow there was no one available to speak whenever I called. I waited for them to contact me to set up the move and no one called. No one contacted me or came to my apartment on the days for which the move was scheduled. They have not responded to my emails or phone messages still to this point. And the link to the estimate they sent me is now a dead end and inaccessible.

They are not registered with the Better Business Bureau, they are not on Yelp, and it is difficult to find on them on google. All RED FLAGS. STAY AWAY.

This was the worst moving experience I’ve ever been a part of. Grossly inflated difference between estimate and final costs, they lie to you about what vehicle is being used to move and make up the costs based on cubic feet but when the movers come they tell you it’s organized by “lines”. But, they’ve already got you for a large sum with your deposit so what is there to do?! The truck showed up on the other end and it was a rental box truck and not a tractor trailer (like they tell you). Total scam. Don’t give them a dollar.

Their Quality assurance department lead Kyle, couldn’t have been a worse human being - gave me a whole run around and told me to accept the additional $2k they wanted to charge me “and we’ll get all your stuff out for you bud and you can eat at all the great restaurants.” When I told him no he said well don’t complain to me when it costs more. It was even worse than what I’ve described. That’s just a piece of the conversation. Trash customer service.

The company will only contact you when they need you to pay up. They didn’t give me any updates on the date of pickup. I received a call from the movers on the other end the day of asking me to move in that day. I had to take off from work to accept my belongings.

Zero transparency. Zero accountability. They don’t even answer their phones. Avoid avoid avoid.

DO NOT USE THIS COMANY FOR MOVING FOR REASONS BELOW.

Professional liars from customers service to movers. Never on time - 7 days late from binding time, no courtesy to even call and apologize for inform the customer. The amount they quote is actually not the amount they demand at loading and unloading. When you will call them to find out details, they are rude, unprofessional and will outright lie to you . In my case I caught their lie due to my profession and tried to help in response the ‘manger’ laughed at my profession as ‘first responder’.

Their crew of movers were extremely rude, unprofessional, cheating and lying . I have proof of all the things I am writing in this review. I have moved long distance several times and never had this kind of experience, headache or disrespectful treatment. WILL NEVER USE THIS SERVICE OR COMPANY.

DO NOT USE this so called buisness. Only put one star because you have to so you can write a review. Not worth any star.. They are scam artist to the fullest extent. They lie as soon as they answer the phone. They knowing hire fraudulent criminal moving companies. As soon as they have your money they will not return communications and when/if they do it is nothing but lies. They did not honor anything in contract. I still have not received any of my things. Items were picked up on 8/24. Two months later and nothing has arrived. No idea where my things have gone? They have not helped at all. NEVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY, EVER!!!!!
