My WORST moving experience story- STAY AWAY , Hire a professional move

Eddie who calls himself the owner agreed to do the move at 275 flat and I promised them if everything will be good I will give you guys a great tip. The move was scheduled for 9 AM. Right before 1 day, I called to check in if he is going to make it since I haven't heard from him. He constantly requested me to move my shift to 7:30 AM in the morning. We agreed on 8 AM. He again called in the night to tell me he can only do it at 7:30 AM as he has other jobs. I said ok even though I knew it's gonna be tough for me. Finally, Eddie and Johnny showed up around 8:15 AM and they were not wearing any professional clothes. Neither did they had any gloves or any cleaning wipes for their shoes or hand even though he agreed to take all precautions for COVID. I offered all those as I had a small 1-year-old kid and I didn't want anyone to get sick. I offered them a good tour of the house and showed him all the stuff that I got. To make his job easier We had tried packing all household upfront in packaging boxes and keep near the gate (16 extra-large Home Depot boxes). List of items - I already sent these to Eddie before he gave the estimate and also the night before since he asked. A tv console, glass table, sofa, love seat, baby crib queen bed, washer/dryer refrigerator, and few trolley boxes, and a few other smaller stuff. All he had to dissemble was the bed. They started the move and I was surprised to see that they were not very diligent with the boxes event if it's written on top that it's fragile. Eddie was not physically that great and was often getting tired, the other guy Johnny was good. Looking at them how slow they were I also started helping them with smaller items. He took 2 10 mins break and one 30 mins break at 10. To be honest Johnny was the poor guy as he did 70% and Eddie did only 30%. At 10:15 AM he called me and said he needed to talk to me and to my surprise he started saying it's a lot of stuff already and he needed to go to another job and if I don't agree he would put all stuff from the truck out and leave. THAT WAS RUDE, still being a nice guy I requested them please ensure you come back at 3:30 PM as you promised as this is my last day of the lease and I had to turn the keys into the leasing office. He sounded too promising ( shame on me if I don't return blah blah) and I knew he would be late for sure. It's already been 3:40 pm they didn't even bother to call, Eddie was not even picking my phone at around 4:50 pm he texted that he will be here in about an hour. I was not happy still I did talk to my leasing office and requested them and they said fine but they would charge me for 1 more day ( around 79 bucks) I had already made a couple of trips in a hope that these guys would come as they PROMISED. But then I texted him last time at 8 pm and told him I am going with another mover. Then he called me back and said he is on the driveway and will arrive at 9. Finally, he showed up around 9:15 and they both were high on weed. I had to get rid of a few kinds of stuff ( A nice wardrobe) just because they were too late. Finally, this NIGHTMARE finished around 12:15 AM the night. Look at the pictures-

They took my kitchen floor off, broken one of the lamps and GOD knows what's still broken inside the boxes as I haven't yet opened it. At last, when there was stuff left in the truck he was asking me around 600 USD otherwise he would not let

They didn't even move my boxes, neither did they hooked up the washer dryers.

Finally, we settled in at 400 CASH as I just wanted this night to go away soon. If they would have been nice I would have paid them up to 500. You might be thinking about what kind of fool I am, but all I was trying to offer a little humanity and I didn't want my new MOVE to be pathetic. I had moved on and left the JUSTICE to God.

For any professional moving company, it was a job of 4-5 hours and trip distance was just 4 miles. It's just that these guys were not fit for moving, didn't have proper tools, and were high on WEED and kept saying oh it's too heavy, dude if it was all Ikea stuff why would one hire a moving company. I know they work hard and that's why I offered them money but believe me you can not imagine what kind of PATIENCE it takes to deal with these situations.

The reason I am writing this review so that no one else should be engaging with THIS PATHETIC, UNPROFESSIONAL MOVING COMPANY. Eddie is SUCH a LIER, There is no way one could make money like this, HE GONNA PAY FOR his SINS.

For me, it's a lesson learned ----

Never book any CHEAP, Unprofessional Junkies for the moving, not sure how he is still doing the business maybe there are a lot of nice people in the world which these guys are taking advantage of.
