    My shipment was held at their warehouse for 6 weeks. While there it was damaged, items stolen, 3 boxes of Christmas ornaments taken, 4 large pieces of furniture also taken. All boxes showed signs of theft. A carrier from California was hired to go get the shipment and deliver to me. They did not check the manifest. More than half of my shipment was gone. All attempts to contact, do a claim or speak to anyone was ignored. The company is fraudulent. The local carrier “All Saints” were dirty, unprofessional and demanding. Please- do not use these companies.

    These people are crooks. Broken antique furniture, double the cost quoted. Demanded a wire of funds to release my belongings. Never, ever use them. They harassed my wife at our old home telling me she was uncooperative, they packed valuable Native American vases inside hanging clothes and nothing was marked. Unpacking we broke vases worth thousands because we did not know they were intermingled with our clothes. God what a nightmare.

      I was extremely dissatisfied with the All Saints Movers contractors that this brokerage company worked with for the following reasons:

      1. I received a reasonable quote on the phone after giving a detailed list of inventory to be moved twice. Moving Direct indicated that there was no need to visit the premises for a more accurate quote. However on the day of the move, the contractors indicated I would need to pay over $900.00 more because there was more furniture - quite a shock as I provided specific measurements. I expected to be charged some difference but not $900.00+.

      2. On the date of the move, the payments expected from the contractor were never discussed and quite unexpected. The lead mover from the contracting company as well was extremely unprofessional with me when I contracted Moving Van Direct Lines about submitting the payments.

      3. The actual date to move my furniture to the final destination took way longer than expected (almost 3 weeks) and I had to continually follow up with Moving Van Direct Lines for an update which was poor.

      4. On the date of the move to the final destination, the contracted moving company at that time that they were not able to load from the truck to my door and if they were to find another way it would cost an additional $900.00 + cash which I was not prepared to pay as I was not aware of this. In addition, the contractors only accepted USPS Money Orders or Zelle which was never communicated before. So I had to rent a U-Haul truck and have them load into that truck on a side street, drive to my location and offload the furniture there. This was highly inconvenient as I was unaware how to assemble the furniture they de-assembled that was never de-assembled after purchasing from furniture store years before. In my experience, the communication between the brokerage company and contractors was highly lacking, making for a very disappointing experience.

      5. I asked for my complaint to be passed on to the owner of the company who never responded.

      6. One piece of furniture was lost and not returned. In repeated calls, I found out that that even though they claim the item was not found, they did not have a complete description noted on the specifics of that item even though I had submitted that before. I submitted a claim but never hear back about the status of that claim. I continue to follow up with the company about the lost filing cabinet which I am hoping they will locate.

      7. The only positive experience I had is with the person I initially contacted to schedule the move at the Moving Direct Van Lines - who seemed to be very professional. However, with all the negative experiences that I have had with this move, it overshadows the positive.

      Our initial movers, Colonial Van Lines, cancelled our cross-country move two days before our scheduled moving date, creating havoc in our lives. Moving Direct and the third-party company that they used, Moving Express, was available to pack up our fragile items and move us at the last minute, and I was initially very grateful for their assistance. Unfortunately, the issues began immediately after the Supervisor arrived at our home. Our moving estimate of $26,701.00 suddenly became $55,000! I was frantic so the Supervisor put us in touch with the President, Anthony Sannicandro. He offered to give us the "bargain rate" of $42,700 for our move. He knew that he had us over a barrel because three other real estate closings were contingent upon us moving out of our home in two days. We knew that they were taking advantage of the situation but felt that we had no choice but to accept their pricing.

      There was a large crew of people packing up our glassware and fragile items, and other than the Supervisors who were not there the majority of the time, none of them spoke English which made communication impossible. The crew was careless and began breaking items before we even left Boston. However, the extent of the negligence and the damage that was caused was not evident until another crew arrived in South Carolina to unload the truck. The SC crew was very efficient and professional, and they were appalled by the haphazard way that the movers had packed our belongings. They said that they had never seen such a poor job of packing in their experience.

      The movers in Boston used a massive amount of tape on the outside of the boxes, but they didn't wrap the fragile items in the boxes properly. Their negligence caused approximately $7,000 in damages to our furnishings. They managed to break off all of the front legs to two custom made couches, and they even managed to lose two of the legs as well. They also damaged artwork and irreplaceable items of great sentimental value. The movers didn't mark the majority of the boxes, and when they did, the room names were incorrectly marked. This caused the movers unloading the truck to waste an inordinate amount of time opening the boxes to figure out where they belonged. Because of this wasted time, the movers had to leave for another job before they could completely finish our move. They ended up dumping a lot of boxes in the garage and attic which made our move-in process a nightmare.

      I spoke directly with the President of the Company, Anthony Sannicandro, and he made many promises to make us whole, even if he had to pay for some of the repairs out-of-pocket. He reneged on every promise that he made to us, and eventually his insurance company offered us the insulting amount of $257.40 in settlement of our claim. I did not accept their offer to settle because I didn't want to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. I wanted to be able to warn other potential customers to avoid this company at all costs, so they won't go through the pain and anguish that this move has caused us.
