Response from College Hunks Hauling Junk & College Hunks Moving
[Member Name Removed], My name is Dan and I am the owner of College Hunks Hauling Junk. First and foremost thank you for letting us know how you felt about our service. We take every review positive or negative extremely important. When you mentioned there was a no call no show that didn’t sound like us since we have a process and system for which that could not happen. That said, I did some digging into your potential job for John on Feb 9th between 4pm-6pm. What I found out was this. Any add on meaning a job that gets added on the same day must be approved by our operations manager. If there is a request for our team to come to someone’s home or business the request gets sent to David and than he can call crews, check schedule, and so forth to see if it is something that we can do the same day. David approved your job at roughly around noon so it was in our schedule. In the morning our team gets work orders for each job they perform. Any add on jobs they have to come back to pick up a work order. This is where the bottleneck happened. Around 2pm David had to leave for a family emergency. With his quick departure and it being an emergency our team never received the work order for your potential job. With him being out a few days, we never realized this issue occurred and for that we are deeply sorry. If you believe in a second chance we would love to make it up to you with a substantial discount off your service. If not we understand, and thank your for and consideration. Sincerely, Dan 248-246-1065 Dan.ryan@chhj.com

They arrived very late as the scheduling person gave them the wrong phone number. I had been frantically trying to reach someone to find out where they were for almost an hour when they finally arrived. Then the cost was almost double the quote I received on the phone when I had been exact as to what needed to be moved. I had no choice but to pay for it as the house was sold and I had to be out of it. The young men who arrived were professional and knew what they were doing regarding moving furniture. He explained that the scheduler should not have quoted a cost and then gave me the much higher quote. I would not use this company again.
Description of Work: They removed furniture left over from an estate sale and delivered it to a charity.

Went perfectly! Scheduled online. Received call the morning of appointment indicating they were on their way. Once they arrived, they surveyed the mess, provided an overview of their services/credentials and an estimate for the work. They completed the job perfectly and were very courteous and efficient. Glad to be rid of all that junk!

When I called the first time there was a voicemail and I left a message. Within the hour they got back to me and told me that they would send someone out to check out the tools they would need to move the piano. They quoted a price on the phone. That price never changed. The day of the move they arrived promptly and began the move. Since the piano was over 40 years old they had to work at taking it apart. Within an hour and a half the piano was moved. No nicks in my walls and the carpet was fine. They did an excellent job.

I had a $20 Angie's List coupon for this company and called their toll free number. Upon calling the number, a very pleasant woman gave me a rough estimate of cost. She told me that an exact amount could be given to me when the truck arrived and they could survey exactly what needed to be hauled and how much of the truck would be filled.. I could then decide if I wanted them to do the work. Since I had a possible recycling source for the metal wardrobe, I asked for a price both to have them take the wardrobe and a price to have them haul it to the garage and place it in my SUV. Since the wardrobe was quite large, they told me it would cost $100 to take it and since I had a source for it, I could save by having them put it into my car. Carrying it up to my car was included int the $30 hourly charge (for 1/4 hour) they had quoted for carrying the other cabinets to the garage. The $30 charge was included in the final $276 charge and was definately less than what I had been quoted by other companies. I appreciated their flexiblity in quoting both ways since it saved me money. The two young men were extemely pleasant. They called the morning of our appointment to confirm the 2 hour window for the time frame and called again as they were on their way. They introduce themselves, surveyed what I had, and provided the quotes. They worked quickly and courteously. They turned something I had dreaded doing into a very pleasant experience. I have already recommended them and will definately use them again.
Description of Work: Hauled multiple items from basement for donation, recycling or disposal. Items included old cedar chest, book case, kitchen table and 4 chairs, window panes, assorted wood, and additional junk. In addition they carted a large metal wardrobe from the basement and placed it in my SUV and moved some cabinets from the basement to the garage.

The morning of the move arrived several weeks later, and I was concerned because I hadn't received a confirmation call or anything. I called the company that morning and one of the staff members was baffled - my appointment wasn't on the books, the manager hadn't told anyone anything about it and was now on vacation... and further, the staff person indicated they do not move items, only haul them away, and they absolutely would not be equipped to move a projection tv securely. He was quite apologetic and tried to come up with a solution, but at that point I didn't feel confident in letting anyone from this company move my items if that really wasn't their specialty or they weren't equipped to handle this particular job. I asked him to relay my extreme disappointment in his manager's unprofessionalism to the owner. A week or so later I did receive a phone call from the owner to apologize, and he sent an Edible Arrangements product to me to apologize. That was quite unexpected though appreciated. I don't think this is a bad company, just terrible management at the time. Ask to speak to the owner and you will probably get a correct assessment of what they can/cannot do for you. Personally, I do not intend to call them in future for any projects.
Description of Work: This company was one of several miscategorized under "Moving" when really they and some others are not movers, only haulers. I didn't know that at the time. I called and spoke with man who identified himself as the manager. I indicated I needed to move a dresser and a projection tv across town and were they equipped to do this. He enthusiastically affirmed that the company could provide this service and we discussed what I expected in detail - the tv must be carried upright at all times and well padded and secured in the truck during transport. He agreed this would not be a problem and we scheduled a moving date.

Staff arrived on time, the business is local and close to my home so I felt I was supporting local business. They also know the area. I pointed out things I wanted to be hauled away. The staff introduced themselves, evaluated the items and then provided a rate for me and explained how some of the items would be given to charity. The staff was professional and very nice. The items were moved quickly, including hauling a heavy television down 2 flights of stairs, furniture and other items. Everything was removed and cleaned. I was very pleased with the whole process.

I called and received an estimate. Shopped around because I thought the estimate was too high just to have my old furniture removed from my house
Description of Work: I was looking for a company to remove my old furniture due to purchasing new furniture. They quoted me over the phone $369.00 and it was dependant on if the furniture was in good condition. I thought the amount was quite high to have someone come and haul my old furniture away. I found another company that removed the furniture for 1/2 the price.

Response from College Hunks Hauling Junk & College Hunks Moving
Please note that this job was never performed. We pride ourselves in our level of professionalism and customer experience. According to our notes taken "(10/5/2012) @ 10:27 AM by Dan Ryan - dan quoted 266 - 309 she would think about it." The way we charge is based on volume and how much an item or items fill up in our trucks. You only pay on what you fill up. This was an over the phone estimate, as we give FREE no obligation estimates with the exact upfront cost. In other words, there is no fee for us to come out to a home or business and give an upfront price. If the price fits we come prepared to do the work right then and there. There must of been a break in communication when informing the potential client where all the exact costs are that incur. Again, we charge based on volume and the price includes all the labor and loading of all the items into the trucks (our team is insured) no matter where the items are located. The price also includes, fuel fees, and most importantly the disposal costs. Whatever we can not donate or recycle we have to dispose of properly and that is the larger cost that we incur. It's frustrating to not even do the job, or even let alone come out to the home to give an exact price and receive a D. Our team puts their blood, sweat and tears into this company to make sure our clients have a stress free service. At College Hunks Hauling Junk we pride ourselves in our level of professionalism, courtesy, and efficiency and I would just like share our side of the story regarding this matter.

I was not very impressed with them. I would not call them again. I spent over $600 on their services. I would not recommend them. I don’t remember about their responsiveness but I don’t think that it was bad. I think that was alright. They were here on time. I will not use them again in the future.

I had called Angie’s List about somebody to do a delivery service and I never could get those people. So I called up somebody else. I got a real good deal on a sofa and I didn’t have anybody to bring the sofa to my house. I tried to get people from Angie’s List but nobody answered the phone. So I called a friend of mine and she gave me a number for these guys. They picked up the sofa and brought it to my house. I got an excellent delivery service from them. They answered the phone right away. They were excellent and they even gave me a discount. I get a $10 discount if I ever use them again. This is the place to use to pick up things from places where they don’t have a delivery service. I didn’t have any family member that could do it. A friend of mine in the neighborhood is in real estate and she knows a lot about these places, and so I ended up calling her. I had to give them one day’s notice and the next day they did it for me. They did come from a little distance. I met them at the place where I bought the sofa and they brought the sofa back to my house. They set it up and left. I guess it took a little bit over an hour. They had to come from where they were at to the place where I bought the sofa on Hall Road. I met them there and they picked it up and brought it back to my house in Washington Township, which is not that far but they still had to get on the freeway to get back over here. Then they bought it in which took a little time and they set it up for me. I thought that was excellent. It was two young guys, and they had energy and they were able to do it. They did extra by coming in and it took a little while. They had adorable personalities and they were pleasant. They didn’t have any problems setting it up for me and they did not complain about anything. Maybe it could have been a few dollars cheaper. Their personality and overall performance was good. They were there within 5 minutes of the time I was there. They did everything I asked them to do and everything was fine. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of College Hunks Hauling Junk for delivering a recliner sofa. The last time I used them was on January 19th 2012. They brought the sofa to into my house and also set it up for me.

They do different kinds of moving, not just moving to a new home. They even move things within the home. They were very responsive to my questions and answered all my questions. They showed their credentials. They quoted the price before they began the work. They completed within the time allotted. They were punctual and cleaned up after themselves. We are definitely going to use them again.
