United Transport Inc

One of the worst experiences I have ever had. They quoted one price, but after the truck was filled doubled the price! Would not return phone calls..never gave acurate estimates of either travel time or cost.  Underneath they just ran an awful business that has the consumer at bay.  NEVER use this company.  Not sure how they stay in business with the underhanded techniques of low balling and then jacking the price up. AWFUL. AWFUL. AWFUL..and left a mess and would not clean up after them!! A nightmare.

Their BINDING-NOT-TO-EXCEED promise is false.  We were given an estimate of 1232$  The movers they "bid out to" said they wouldn't move anything until we paid 3400$ cash.  After we settled for 1500$  They went out again and their "BINDING-NOT-TO-EXCEED" moved up to 2200$ (again, other driver/loaders that said they owned the company).  We had no choice but to pay that money.  They didn't take half the things that were contracted, and overcharged us for cubic footage not used.  Cliff, Jen, Shawn, Isaac, etc. then said they would go pick the rest of the stuff up for free.  Month later, no word.  Now they will not refund us the money or get the stuff that was left behind.  They will put your things in a public storage unit, and they hire out people to move your things.  This is not a moving company.  The people who delivered our things didn't even know UTI.  So now we are filing for all the things that were broke, and taking them to court. Never use this "Broker" to move your things.
I can submit photos and estimated binding contract if anyone doubts the above.

This company can be summed up in a few words, crooks, sleezy, and dishonest. I find it interesting that they could have so many negative posts and then only excellent posts beyond that, of course this is the owners/employees posting vague positive comments. Pay attention to the negative posts and consider yourself warned!!  I researched a few moving companies online and selected United Transport because they gave a resonable price (over the phone) and the representative was helpful. From that point on it was all down hill. They quoted me $3400 and that was after I gave a full listing of all items that were being moved. My wife and I had to move for my new job to NC and we had to move on the dates we gave them. They showed up 2 days late and started loading the truck. After they had loaded the truck close to half way up I was told that this move was going to cost more than what was previously estimated. They said they could unload what they started if I did not agree to the move costing more. I had to get my items moved though as we had renters moving into our home just couple of days later. With that being said it ended up being $6700!! Almost twice what was previously estmiated. When they were almost finished loading item they then told me as they were moving final items that some of my personal property that they were moving would probably break during the move. They then went on to charge me for 2100 cubic feet that they were moving when it was clearly marked in the truck at 1750 cubic feet. Not only that but they said that for thet cubic footage that was over what they originally quoted me they were chargin me a higher rate. Abviously not a company that understands the concept of economies of scale!! When my items were delivered, 2 days late again, there were multiple broken items from a $1000 desk to our piano. The cost for the broken/lost/stolen items was close to $4000. They then offered me $192 to cover what was broken. Then they never even paid up the $192. If I call they say they are still processing the payment in their accounting department. I don't think they could define the word accounting. With all of this being said, please do yourself a favor and DO NOT use this horrible excuse for a business.

I've never received my things.  I never received paperwork upon pickup.  Guess I was the dummy.  My experience started out great with the salesman.  No one will call me, no one will help, and apparently no one knows where my things are.  Who brings their children with them when they are there to pickup your things?  I'm sure my review won't be posted. Although I was given a great price in the beginning the actuall movers claim I owe an additional 1700.00.  I'm just sick that I allowed myself to be taken that way.

Before I decided to go with this company UNITED TRANSPORTATION I think I called every company there is! I thought it was funny because almost every company that I called only talked trash about all the other company's especially the cheaper priced company's! The WORST company with the highest price was Premiervanlines and Neena is the most horriblest person to deal with she lies and that's is told to me by at least 15 people that had problems with her. Plus she was charging me 2 1/2 times more! I didn't know who to go with at first but what made decied to go with UNITED TRANSPORTATION was the man on the phone! RODGER REED, he spoke like he really cared and that he also really listened to whatI was saying not to mention that he really worked on getting me the best deal out there! I knew that I had a LOT of things and I was sure something would get broke and I was right but it wasn't that bad and when I called Rodger with in minutes he had set me up with the information I needed to file a claim. I don't know if he's a employee or if he's a owner but he really does good at his job! I have already referred 2 people to them and would definitely use them again.  They are not only the best price but they are thousands less then other places! No place can be perfect but this place comes pretty close! They even packed my big glass table top! They wrap all my furniture too! The claim is very easy as well just fill out the form and take photos and send them in and they take care of it!

This company is a dishonest and sleazy operation.  After they picked up the items they held them and demanded an ADDITIONAL cash (only) payment for another truck to deliver the stuff from "storage" to the apartment.  They lost items including two suitcases and five boxes.  They also damaged items. One missing piece of furniture (which was claimed to have been "lost") was broken by the movers and parts of the item where found in the dumpster.  Repeated phone calls were met with, at first, claims that everything would be taken care of, then by stonewalling, and finally by not taking our calls.  We received two "settlement" documents with specified amounts that they said they would pay.  They paid on one and denied that the other even existed.  Even the one that they paid was a ridiculously low sum for the damage incurred.  Neglegent, dishonest, incompetent, and skilled at giving you the run around - this is the worst company that we have ever encountered.  The only non-negative thing one can say is that United Transport Inc. is not an outright fraud, taking your money and providing no service.  They simply take your money, provide horrible service that leaves your move a shambles, and proceed to lie and delay in the hopes you go away.  A better option is to stay away in the first place.

I can't believe that they offered me 84.00 for total of missing items. All items missing from delivery were electronics.   I was missing a brand new cannon printer.  key board and mouse.  a sony HD DVD player, and two Dish receivers, which I was charged 50$ a piecefrom dish network. Someone got a new system.  Not to  mention lots of valuables had been broken.  Give me a break.  Not to mentioned they showed up 3 days late, costing me 400.00 for a trip I had to call in for.  I definitely do not reccommend them.  Im sure this will be a big fight, but I intend to report them to every institution possible to prevent this from happening to someone else.
