    Allied Van Lins carrier, Reebee Storage & Moving, moved my household goods from Chicago to Baltimore. They stole my wife's diamond ring, threw stuff in boxes, broke many items & lost others.

    I had insurance. All claims have been resolved but two -- 9/24/99 claim for missing toolbox ($750) and 11/02/99 claim for broken pinball machine ($100). They refused both claims. I couldn't prove pinball machine worked before I moved and I couldn't prove I had a tool box.

    I bought the insurance. I was ripped off. What are my rights? What can do?

    This is what Small Claims Court is for.

    Thanks for your vote!

    I recently moved from SC to CA. I was informed that I would be notified 24 hrs in advance of my load arriving.

    I contacted the local agent to let them know how I could be reached. The next day the movers arrived without me being informed at all. I had not closed on my house so I could not take the shipment. If I had been given advance notice, I could have arranged a garage release to store everything in the garage. The driver claimed that he could not reach me because he only had a cell phone number. The local agent had not given him the other numbers where we could be reached and no msgs had been left.

    Our stuff was put into storage for one day without our consent and we were told that we had to pay $629 to get our stuff delivered. Supposedly that was half the amount. They said that because of the problem that they would help us out and only charge us half. I am getting nowhere with their customer support and am more than willing to start legal actions.

    All my physical belongings were held until I paid $629 for charges I do not owe.

    My van arrived 5 days late - at 9pm at night with one "mover" and one teenager and one child (about 12 yrs old).

    The 12 yr old was trying to move my things, putting things all over the furniture. Since there was only one professional mover, it took hours (they left after 11pm), things were misdelivered (they couldn't see in the dark) and broken (both my items being moved and the screen door on the house).

    They had to come back the next day when they realized that they delivered the wrong mattress. The driver did not have any data on how much my things weighed (yet I was paying by weight) and was forced to pay the estimated price (which the sales person told me tended to be higher). One month later, I still don't have any accurate info. They lost a box of photo albums, broke some items, etc.

    I am filing a claim with all broken items, but doubt if I'll see my items or money.
