I hired Zippy Movers based upon a recommendation from my Realtor. They stated that this company was trying to get their business. I figured that I would try them. Over the phone Maria, the owner, set up the move. I described the amount to move and she took the information to make arrangements. She did not come to the property to assess the move. Now I have moved many times and this appeared odd. I downsized my house by sending off all of the furniture from a 15 room house to auction and kept two beds a a living room suite. Clothes and kitchen accessories were to be moved. My assessment was that one day would do. My housekeeper did all of the packing. The day came and when the movers arrived at noon. they brought a car trailer and a pick up truck. really? I called Maria and she then said to me that the job was very large . I was shocked. I moved major houses in one day. Previous movers moved a whole house in one day: they charged 5500.00 for the entire house, close to what this company charged for 15% of the same cargo. She then begins to address how much more this is going to cost. Remember she never estimated the job in person but sent me one via email. This job was a day job at most. The movers had attitude and complained about all of the stairs. I mean this is the job! My secretary and housekeepers remained on job all day dictating the move. I had to be elsewhere. To cut the story short, They delivered half of the furniture one day and took the full day next to deliver the other half. The movers stated that my housekeeper asked them to leave because she was tired. That did not occur. The move that should have taken 8-10 hrs- Took two days. I feel as though they padded the bill. evidenced by the fact that when I complained they reduced the charges somewhat but not correctly. When the charge came through no reduction was given! It was just a mess. I would never recommend this company
Description of Work: I hired this company to move my home furnishings consisting of a couch, 4 chairs, a dining room table, three beds, and personal items of clothing, book, TVs, book shelves. The move was one block from existing residence. Packing and Art moving was done by others

Response from Zippyshell Mobile Self Storage and Moving
Our receipt of this report was disheartening as it was a tough scenario that we tried very hard to rectify for the customer. When we spoke to arrange his move, we first arranged for him a separate company to come before us to assist him in packing and moving his artwork before we came in to move the rest of his items. The client stated he had a bed, a chest, a few chairs, a few book shelves and some boxes. As noted, we arrange that smaller unit to assist him with his move. When our movers got there, he had many more items then were stated. There were approximately 200 hundred boxes, tables, televisions on the walls, clothes in the closest, more furniture than stated and sets of very large book cases that spanned the floor to ceiling of a room that needed to be dismantled and moved. He had stated that he gave almost everything away and had only a few items left. Our movers knew it would not fit into a small moving vehicle so we started moving what we could and quickly arranged a large truck and more movers to assist with the job since he needed to be out right away. We did not charge extra to have an additional large moving truck come to site. The extra laborers came with the truck and were only paid for the hours they were there- no trip fees or additional fees were added. By the time the larger truck was able to arrive, the job could not be completed in one day. To the remark that my movers said the housekeeper told them to leave, she did not. I misunderstood what the movers told me and it was the movers that told the housekeeper they would resume the next morning. I apologized to the client for my communication error with him and assumed full responsibility for the error. The client did not state that the moved goods were going to two different locations initially. The new location had two floors down to the basement for the first place and nine floors up with no elevator to second place. It did take the movers a bit more time than expected to take all the larger items like tables, and book shelves up the nine flights of stairs and reassemble them. I was in contact with the client the whole time, as this was certainly not the best scenario we both had hoped for. The movers even disposed of carpet padding for the client to help clean out the home.The client disagreed with how long our movers took for the move so we adjusted his bill according to the amount he was satisfied with. We do not "pad" anything, and only charge for hours worked so there is nothing to pad.The client signed agreeing to the terms and the credit adjustments were made directly through his credit card company. The credits were received. Again, we regret that we could not satisfy this client and we tried very hard to rectify the situation. We at Zippyshell try very hard to please every client and know that good customer service is what everyone deserves. We have files of excellent reviews from many real estate agents and clients with the same movers as well as many very happy storage clients. We would be happy to share these great reviews with anyone that would like them.
