Response from A-1 Moving Co
I BELIEVE THIS MEMBERS MAIN COMPLAINT IS THE CRACKED DRIVEWAY. THE MEMBER HAD CALLED US AFTER THE MOVE AND SAID THAT THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY HAD BEEN PUT IN NEW A MONTH PRIOR TO THE MOVE AND THAT WE HAD CRACKED THE DRIVEWAY AND SHOULD REPAIR IT. OUR RESPONSE WAS THAT THE NEW DRIVEWAY SHOULD NOT HAVE CRACKED. OUR TRUCKS USE CUSTOMERS DRIVEWAYS EVERYDAY WITHOUT PROBLEMS. ALSO, WE PARKED ON THE STREET AND THEN WENT INTO HER HOUSE. IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVEWAY, THE PEOPLE WHO INSTALLED IT SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE MEMBER AND SHE COULD HAVE REQUESTED THAT WE LOAD FROM THE STREET. WE TOLD THE MEMBER TO CONTACT THE COMPANY THAT INSTALLED THE DRIVEWAY TO COME BACK AND FIX THE DRIVEWAY. I AM ALSO DISMAYED THAT SHE RATED US POORLY ON THE REPORT. I WAS PART OF THE CREW ON THE MOVE AND SHE SEEMED VERY HAPPY WITH THE MOVE. THE PRICE WAS LESS THAN SHE WAS INITIALLY QUOTED AND ALL HER FURNITURE WAS MOVED WITH NO DAMAGE. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE GOOD WORK WE DID IS NOT REFLECTED.

IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING THE GOODS OUT OF THE BASEMENT OF MY HOUSE, ONE OF THE MOVERS WAS CARELESS. HE ATTEMPTED TO CARRY TOO MANY BOXES AT ONCE. HE HIT A SMALL WALL CABINET WITH THE BOXES, KNOCKING IT OFF THE WALL, AND SENDING IT TUMBLING DOWN THE STAIRS, WHICH RESULTED IN LARGE CHUNKS OF THE CABINET BEING SMASHED OFF. THE CABINET WAS NOT PART OF THE SHIPMENT. NEVERTHELESS, THE MOVING COMPANY ONLY OFFERED TO PAY ME $50 FOR THE CABINET, ALTHOUGH THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE CABINET WAS $116. THE RATIONALE GIVEN WAS THAT THEIR INSURANCE DID NOT PROVIDE FULL REPLACEMENT COST COVERAGE. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEIR INTERPRETATION OF THE INSURANCE LIMITATION. THE LANGUAGE OF THE LIMITATION ONLY APPLIES TO 'THE SHIPMENT', I.E, THE GOODS BEING SHIPPED, AND DOES NOT SET A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES PAYABLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE MOVERS DAMAGED OTHER ITEMS.
Description of Work: MOVED SOME GOODS FROM MY HOUSE TO A STORAGE FACILITY AND CONSOLIDATED GOODS FROM TWO STORAGE LOCKERS INTO ONE STORAGE LOCKER.

NO SECRETS, HOWEVER, THIS WAS MY THIRD OFFICE MOVE IN 15 YEARS AND THIS COMPANY WAS, BY FAR, THE BEST MOVERS I HAVE USED. JON AND JASON PERFORMED THE WORK AND THEY WERE PROFESSIONAL, PLEASANT, FUN, EFFICIENT, COURTEOUS, AND COMMUNICATIVE. THEY EVEN RESPONDED WELL TO MY QUIRKY SENSE OF HUMOR, AND COMPLIMENTED MY BEING ORGANIZED. I PLAN ON HIGHLY RECOMMENDING THEM TO COLLEAGUES AND FRIENDS, AND I PLAN ON THIS BEING THE ONLY MOVING COMPANY I USE FOR ANY MOVING NEEDS IN THE FUTURE. A+++++.

I USED THEIR ONLINE FORM TO FILL IN WHAT I''D NEED MOVED, THEN THEY RESPONDED BY EMAIL WITH A QUOTE. THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL SINCE IT MEANT I COULD DEAL WITH IT AFTER BUSINESS HOURS. THE THREE MAN TEAM WAS FRIENDLY, RESPONSIVE, AND THOUGHTFUL. THEY EVEN ATTEMPTED TO GET OUR QUEEN BOX SPRING UPSTAIRS WHEN THEY KNEW IT WASN''T GOING TO FIT JUST TO CONVINCE ME THAT IT COULDN''T BE DONE. VERY NICE CREW AND A PROFESSIONAL JOB.
Description of Work: MOVED WITHIN ST. PAUL FROM A 2-BEDROOM APARTMENT TO A 3-BEDROOM HOUSE. THEY MOVED ONLY THE HEAVY ITEMS (BEDS, APPLIANCES, TV, ETC.)

WE HIRED TWO TRUCKS. THEY HAD FOUR INCREDIBLE WORKERS. INCREDIBLE IN THAT THEY ALL MOVED AMAZINGLY FAST, WERE FRIENDLY, ATTENTIVE, ARTICULATE, AND ASKED QUESTIONS WHEN NEEDED. THEY EVEN HELPED ME REMOVE AND LOAD A WASHING MACHINE FROM MY NEW HOUSE INTO MY VAN. THIS WAS OUR SIXTH MOVE USING PROFESSIONAL MOVERS AND THIS COMPANY STANDS OUT AS SUPERIOR IN TERMS OF TIME, COST, AND THE QUALITY OF WORKERS. WE HAVE ALREADY HIRED THEM AGAIN TO MOVE A FAMILY MEMBER LATER THIS MONTH. GO THE TWO-TRUCK ROUTE BECAUSE YOU GET FOUR WORKERS, THE COST IS NOT MUCH MORE, AND YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW QUICKLY A SINGLE TRUCK FILLS UP.

THE TWO GENTLEMAN THAT ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE MOVE WERE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. OUR TROUBLES STARTED WHEN THE MOVERS SET OUR BED RAILS ACROSS MY SLIPCOVERED SOFA. THE BED RAILS TORE A LARGE HOLE THROUGH THE SLIPCOVER AND INTO THE SOFA. WHEN I CALLED JEFF AT A-1 MOVERS TO REPORT THE DAMAGE, HE INFORMED ME THAT WE HAD ONLY SIGNED UP FOR .60 CENT PER POUND INSURANCE COVERAGE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION WE WERE GIVEN. HE SAID HE WAS SORRY, BUT IT WAS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE CONSUMER TO KNOW TO ASK FOR FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE. I BELIEVE IT IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE MOVING COMPANY TO EXPLAIN ALL OF YOUR OPTIONS. HE GUESSED MY COUCH TO WEIGH APPROX. 150LBS. THAT LEFT ME WITH A CHECK FOR $90.00. I PAID $1200.00 FOR THE COUCH AND SLIPCOVER. SEVERAL OF OUR FRIENDS ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CURRENT LOW MORTGAGE RATES AND PURCHASING NEW HOMES. WHEN THEY ASK ME WHO TO CALL TO HELP THEM MOVE, I TELL THEM ANYONE BUT A-1.

TWO MEN MOVED ALL OUR HEAVY STUFF IN FOUR HOURS INCLUDING DRIVE TIME FROM OUR OLD HOUSE TO THE NEW ONE (A TWENTY MINUTE DRIVE). THE WERE VERY CAREFUL WITH OUR STUFF AND WORKED VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE WE WERE PAYING THEM BY THE HOUR. I WAS VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR SERVICE, BECAUSE IT SURE SAVED MY BACK AND A BUNCH OF MY BUDDIES BACKS AS WELL. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND I WILL NEVER MOVE ALL OUR STUFF AGAIN.

OVERALL DID A GREAT JOB. THERE IS A 30 MINUTE TRAVEL TIME CHARGE WHICH DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS THE TWO HOUR MINIMUM CHARGE. OTHER COMPANIES THAT I CONTACTED DID INCLUDE THE TRAVEL TIME TOWARDS THE MINIMUM SERVICE TIME WHICH MAKES A-1 A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE COMPARATIVELY.

WORK WAS PERFORMED IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER. THE TRUCK SUPPLIED WAS SMALLER THAN EXPECTED, BUT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN TO A LACK OF COMMUNICATION ON MY PART. THE MOVERS WERE SHORT ONE WARDROBE BOX, BUT THEY WERE VERY HARD WORKERS AND HAD A FRIENDLY ATTITUDE.
