Red Ball Van Lines


Lee of Winston-Salem, NC, writes:

We moved from CA to NC last July.  We had a non binding bid of $3900.  The total bill came to nearly $5000; they said it weighed more than they thought.  

The estimator admitted that it was his fault that the estimate was too low.  This is a man who has been in the industry for some forty years.  I find a low ball bid that is off by 25% to be excessive.  I have paid 10% over the estimate when the goods were delivered.  If they can't estimate better than that they should eat it.  

I should mention that during the move they backed their huge truck into my car and did $1200 worth of damage.  Their insurance company quickly paid me by check to repair the car.  They did release the cargo for 10% over the bid.  But now they are about to turn me over to a credit bureau.  They want their money.
