I first want to say that I had no problem with the two men who came and did the work. They were courteous and professional, so I give them a good rating. That said, the ordeal with the organization was a far different story. Upon arrival, I was hit with additional estimates not mentioned in the initial phone call with the agent. I explained to the agent what the contents of the apartment were in that initial conversation. She gave us quotes based on truck sizes. She did not mention that there was an extra fee for the mattress, nor did she mention extra costs for lounge furniture such as the recliner we had. Each was quoted as an additional $30 & $35 more. Then we got hit with an added $100 fee for a "long haul". If the people have to carry the merchandise a distance over a certain specification, they tag on this fee but it's initially undisclosed. They also mentioned there was a packing fee despite nothing being mentioned to me on the phone call. They said they packed things for you in the call. The packing fee was immediately waived since I had already boxed up most of the items and only needed to box up two more with my own boxes. The employees did get to the apartment in the quoted timeframe but very near to the end of it leaving me to stay later than I had hoped. I was stuck in a position of having to get the job done so, I felt I must help to expedite the process. Overall, it took more than 3 hours with my help. I'll be fair and state that it was a 2nd floor apartment, but I did mention that to the agent.We just received the list of donatable items, and it was far less than what we donated. Some items listed were not even amongst items we donated. A lot of decent cookware, lighting, decorative items and furniture were amongst our goods and no mention of them were on the donation receipt. They don't even offer up a listing of things taken on site. What happened to all of that stuff we were hoping would find a new home? In addition, their trucks were hardly geared to carry a full one-bedroom apartment. U-haul trucks are significantly larger, and they are closed containers. Junklugger's trucks were open bed and only about 8' x 10'. While in the end, I did pay less in the quote by protesting, I still paid more than what was stated as their maximum over the phone. I'm not very pleased with their organization given very poor communication and lack of detailed listing of things donated. UPDATE: We did receive a full listing now of items donated and a revised receipt, but I'll note that there was no offer to give at least a partial refund for all our troubles. Despite this rectification, I still have problems with how the whole issue went down. Be cautious with this company if you choose to use them.
