    My recent move was a total drag until I found the right moving company. These guys were the real deal! They were patient with my demands and didn't try to jack up the price on me. They helped me pack everything up and even labeled everything so I wouldn't lose track of my stuff. Their team was super friendly and made the whole move a breeze.

    I was apprehensive about using a new company on such short notice, but Mike and the other two movers were fantastic in every way! I chose to shop around after having concerns about another company's professionalism. First, when I called, Mike answered right away. He was incredibly considerate and direct. After asking me what I needed to relocate, he gave me a quote that included three movers, packing materials and transportation. The experience was truly worth paying for.

    Max and the rest of the team deserve much credit for their efforts. The people I know who could use your help are on my shortlist. The men were already gone when I arrived home, so please convey my appreciation to them. The people you sent were top-notch and very helpful. This was a major undertaking, as you know, and it was completed with minimal disruption to regular life.

    The service has always been satisfactory to me. The movers assisted me with my relocation, and they performed a fantastic job, like they usually do. The crew's early arrival was a huge help. During the course of our guided tour, they handled our belongings with the utmost care. They assured us they were following all COVID requirements for a secure move, and we felt safe with them wearing masks.

    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.

    One of my appliances, the fridge, wouldn't fit through the door. But the movers didn't panic or trip. They took a quick break to assess the situation and came up with a plan. They detached the doors and handles and were able to squeeze that bad boy through. Crisis averted, thanks to these guys!

    There was a lot of destroyed and missing property during the move. Also, they lied about the timing of the truck, put our stuff in the storage area, and wanted more money. They wanted to charge an additional 10 grand because they brought a smaller truck. It was like one company taking a chunk of money and taking their portion of what they wanted. Then, renting a smaller truck saying, “Oh, you can only get this much,” bringing it to a storage unit, calling the other company up and saying, “Okay, well, we got X amount of stuff. We got this much for you.” It was a bunch of garbage and the stuff that they pulled was very unprofessional. And they made it so that the only way my mother could get her money back is to go to a court in that state and take it to court. I tried calling them to fix things and they kept kicking us to the curb.

    Kathryn said a direct move (a dedicated truck) would cost me 5000 dollars more than a shared truck but my stuff would stay on the truck that picked up my stuff. It would not be moved - this was a complete lie - all my stuff was moved to a shared truck. I complained and was ignored. They ripped me off for 5000 dollars. Never responded to my complaints - stay far away. These are brokers. They could care less about you - it's all about a commission --- hire a moving company. Stay away from brokers. Kathryn is a thief in my opinion. A proud one!!!!
