Art of Moving

like to start out by saying that Art's son and 2 other men showed up and they were very polite and courteous. They were very hard workers and had some pretty heavy furniture to move. They carefully wrapped items in wrap and blankets. We were so impressed with how hard they worked that we bought them lunch and tipped each of them $60. They did leave some scratches on my Ethan Allen dining table but I did not mention that to the owner because I ended up having more serious issues to complain about. First of all they lost 2 legs that belong to a 4 legged chair. As requested by them we moved our own valuables including my jewelry box which had my solid 14-karat gold college ring in it. Unfortunately, I did not heed the advice in the contract and did not lock it up. I noticed after the guys left that the ring was missing. My husband and I searched the entire jewelry box and surrounding areas to see to see if it could have fallen out. My jewelry box has a special ring holder and none of the other rings were missing (costume jewelry). We immediately called Art and he acted like he took it seriously and he said he would check into the missing items and call us back. We didn't hear back from him for a couple of days so we called him back. He said he was on a move and check on it when he got back. We waited several days and no word so my husband called him today. He said no one had taken my ring and they had no reason to because each of the guys were paid $240 for the 12 hour move! (not including our tip) Really? $20 and hour to bust your behind in 95 degree weather and that's high pay? Then he informs me that they found 2 of the chair legs with no offer to pay for the replacement of the other 2. I said but we need 4! I told him I was going to give him a bad review and he starts raising his voice at me that he can't help it that 2 legs got lost in a blanket! It was THEIR blanket! Then he tells me he's sending his lawyer over here with the worthless 2 chair legs! Then he proceeds to brag and go on and on about all the millionaires he's moved and never had a complaint about anything. And his wife starts screaming in the background "call your lawyer ma'am!" Then they tried to call us back several times AFTER THE WIFE IS SCREAMING FOR ME TO CALL MY LAWYER. Excuse me ma'am, but when you tell someone to call your lawyer you are telling them you do not want any further personal contact with them. So you don't call them anymore. My husband texted them that he did not want any lawyer coming over here. He received a text stating that was understood and to have a good day. If I ever find that ring I will profusely apologize and revise my review but there's still no excuse the the missing chair legs and no offer for reimbursement and his wife screaming.
