About a month and a half ago I had them come get a refrigerator from my kitchen, left a hammer and screwdriver with the item to remove my door In case it did not fit out. My brother was home to show them everything but is in a wheelchair and could not help. A man named Herman called me in the way I explained that I had left it in case he needed to remove my door. After the job is over they call me from outside to take my payment over the phone, I specifically ask at that time if they had to remove my door. Herman then tells me he did not have to remove my door and then everything went well; I pay the $123 and change with my card over the phone and expect that to be the end. When I get home I find that they did not only dent my door but gouged my $400 and change (more with installation) door in multiple areas. I called right then and there and I’m told I’ll hear back within 24 hours.
Three days go by and I callback, I’m told they’re sorry. They will send a message to Herman who is apparently the manager and have him contact me. Another week and a half goes by I have heard nothing but I received an email from a woman who tells me the case is going to be closed because no one has heard from me. I reply to the email that no one has contacted me as my phone does not have a spam blocker and I answer every call due to my business. And then call the woman explain everything to her surprise Herman said he contacted me multiple times and I did not respond to him.
Surprisingly he contacted me in the morning, but then proceeded to tell me that I was wrong, told me that the screwdriver and hammer I left was not enough to remove a door, got mad during the phone call when I told him that I have pictures and I want it replaced or I want the money to pay for the door and installation, proceeded to try to say that my brother who is in a wheelchair told him he could not remove the door, and then hung up on me. I called back to one 800 got junk flipping out on the way he handled things and then I received a text message from him asking me for the door price and what it would take to fix it. I send all the information back picture of the door with the price tell him it needs to be installed as well he says OK somebody will come measure the door and get back to me.
No one came, so I text him again asking him when they’re supposed to show up he tells me they already came and no one was home, mind you my brother who’s in a wheelchair never leaves because we don’t have a wheelchair ramp he is always home!!! I explain that is not even possible as somebody is always at my house and I have two very large trained watchdogs who will alert the home to anybody there especially that close to the door. I then get a phone call later that night that somebody is on their way to come take a look at my door. I told them I would like them to leave the measurements they find with my brother and to let me know what’s going on the gentleman says OK leaves I have the measurements here when I get home and I am expecting a call to let me know when it would be done.
Nothing came for about a month, so I texted Herman and asked him for an update. He ignored the text. I called the main number at the beginning of this week and was told that the franchise did not answer but somebody will answer me by Wednesday at the latest.. It is now Friday, trying to sell my home and explain that I have a banged up ding the door because of idiots is not the easiest. I have to contact the comptroller as well as an attorney to be able to get this fixed fast enough that I can sell this house, and not be charged way more than needed for the door replacement! If I can give them zero stars or negative I totally would, not just for the original experience, but for every proceeding experience after that. This place is absolutely the worst company I’ve ever done business with!
I had an appointment on a Saturday for the removal of one item (duel recliner loveseat). Jason from "got-junk" texted me for confirmation that morning at 7:55 am. My appointment was 8am to 10am. They did not arrive by 10 am so I sent a text to Jason asking what was going on. He informed me they had a big "2 truck" job and were running behind. I asked when they might get there. He said probably noon. NOPE. That didn't happen. Finally at 1:20pm one of the "crew" phoned me saying it would be another hour before they could make it, as their first two jobs were "2 truck". This same crew member then phoned me at 2:20 pm stating they had run into traffic and could not be there for at least 45 minutes more. Appointment times mean nothing to this company. Unless you plan on hanging around all day this is a terrible company to use.

I'm mad at myself for trying them twice; do yourself a BIG favor- DON'T. I called them at the end of May for what I THOUGHT was a simple task- to clean out a partially filled 10' x 15' storage space at istorage located on 7600 Queen St in Wyncote PA. I explained that I'm handicapped (a bilateral leg amputee), & I needed them to take away the rest of the items left over from my father's house after his sudden passing 2 years ago. The representative explained the process very well; a crew of movers would contact me inside of a 2 hour window at a phone number I provided, meet me at the pre-defined address, look at my job, quote me a price based on their observations, and haul everything away. Simple & straightforward, correct? NO, the process was NOT simple or straightforward at ALL.
That Sunday at the end of May was HOT. Due to my many health issues, I don't do well in the heat (that is my issue & NOT their fault BTW); what I DO blame them for is the repeated LIE that someone is "on their way" & "the team will call" for 2 hours while I waited in the heat. When they DID call after my shouting at the rep on the phone, they informed me that they had 3 larger, more important jobs ahead of mine, AND maybe they could squeeze me in the next day! I angrily cancelled that pickup. In addition I was charged an extra month at the istorage facility due to 1 800 GOT JUNK's shenanigans.
Despite my better judgement I actually tried the service again- today. Unfortunately the same thing JUST happened AGAIN. The difference being I have a reliable friend with a truck as a backup plan in place. 1 800 GOT JUNK clearly places the importance of its jobs by their size & prospective customer cost instead of order of receipt. If they made that fact clear at the outset BEFORE people like me believe the implied LIE that once they schedule you they will try to honor the scheduled time promised at the initial call, then all bets would be off & all complaints would be SILENCED. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. TWICE. Find another service.
Company gave us a quote, but raised it twice. We were told there would only be a price per truck and then they wanted an hourly fee. A time of 12 pm - 2 pm was the arrival time stated. They did not arrive until 2:15 pm. We were told important documents would be sifted out or if taken brought back. This was not true. Items were taken that should not have been. On the second day only one person came around 10:30, although a “full crew” was promised. After two and a half hours a second person came. After another hour both left to empty truck and get lunch. At 5:00 pm I called to hear where they were. I said I needed to leave in 20 minutes. One man showed up after I left. I do not recommend this crew in West Michigan.
