Response from Clark Transfer & Storage Co
Sir, You are not believe you one of our customers. Perhaps another Mayflower agent, or a different Clark Moving company in NY? We are Clark Transfer & Storage, Mayflower agent in Chesapeake, VA. Your comments however directly affect our rating with Angies List. If you are able, would you please redirect your comment to the correct company it applies to? Thank you in advance, and I'm sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction and damages regarding your previous move.

Description of Work: Calling to set up the move went well. Beth informed me that a rep would come by to give an initial estimate and instructions -- which he did -- BUT when the actual movers showed up on Thursday, July 21, they were p***** off because I had not taped the boxes -- as instructed by the rep, because the movers would want to verify that I had not included any liquids, candles, etc. I also had stacked the boxes in the hallway -- as instructed by the rep BUT that also p***** off the movers because they could not get any big, heavy items out of the apartment until all the boxes had been moved. THEN, no crew showed up the next day (Friday) to finish the job!!! I started calling at 10:00 am Friday and did not get an assurance until 4:45 pm Friday that someone would show up the following day (Saturday) to finish the job. Which they did but that left me only overnight to clean the apartment, get rid of the trash, and pack up my car because I had to be out on Sunday (7/24). When I got the final bill, there was a final charge about $1800 over the original, initial estimate. If I ever have to move again, I will just sell everything and take only what can be packed in my car. This was the worst moving experience I ever had. AND after I finally got the reply at 4:45 pm on that Friday, it turns out that Beth had been fired and no one had checked any of her outstanding accounts until I called and complained. Mayflower was the moving company and their employees were quick and professional -- I think only three things got broken which was not a big deal but there was not even so much as an "I'm sorry" right after they broke it!!!

Description of Work: Because Angie's List rated Clark so highly and because it is Virginia-based and I was moving from Arizona to Virginia, I called and left several messages requesting an estimate for my move. By the time I was called back, four or five days later, I had already received several on-site estimates and was almost ready to make a decision. When Clark finally called, I was assured that it could give me an on-site estimate in Arizona and that I would be called to set up an appointment. I never heard from Clark again and eventually made my decision without its input. As hiring a moving company was a new exercise for me, I wish Clark had just told me they can't provide long distance estimates and I would have proceeded to obtain local ones.

Response from Clark Transfer & Storage Co
I am disappointed that the estimate this member received for a local move from another company was priced to high. Our Company, Clark Transfer & Storage is located in Newport News, VA. We move customers interstate, internationally and within the state of VA. We do not have authority to arrange or price moves for customers moving locally in a state other than Virginia. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and hope this report will be retracted and our rating corrected. Clark Transfer was not associated with his move/estimate. The member is welcome to contact me directly @757-247-6379 Respectully, Michelle Barber

They haven't done any work for me yet. They were very responsive in giving me the estimate and gave me a good price. They did not come to my home, but gave me the estimate over the phone and sent me a written one as I live in New York. From my interaction so far with them, my experience has been fine. Their responsiveness to my questions and phone calls was very good. They were very professional.
Description of Work: The moving company gave me an estimate for a move from Ohio to Virginia last week.

They are a fabulous company. The packers came first and packed up the house. They worked wonderfully and packed up the entire house. The next day the movers came and loaded the truck and they worked really hard. The truck arrived in a prompt manner in Tampa. They got our stuff down here and unloaded the truck. They set up all the furniture and placed it where it needed to go. The representative in Newport News came out during the packing process and asked us how things were going and if we had any questions.

They packed all the things for us using their own boxes. They were extremely competitive. They had a cap on the poundage. We had two trucks of luggage and they packed only one. We did the other one on our own. The people from Clarks were very good. Their drivers were excellent. They even went out of the way to help us by renting out some independent driver and helper to pack the other truck. They were phenomenal and extremely reasonable. The people from Clarks were absolutely wonderful. The damage was very minimal. We paid them more than what they asked. I think that was an excellent move. They were courteous. The packing was totally for 2 days. The first day there were 3 people for 8 hours and the second day there were 2 people for 12 hour. The driver had some truck trouble in the morning one day and he was late. They were here for 12 hours for unpacking. They were very careful very helpful. They were unbelievable. They were the nicest people we have ever had.
Description of Work: We used them when we moved from Virginia to Wisconsin. We got to know about them through yellow pages. We picked them as they were the best.

They did a good job of estimating the cost for us. They were within ten dollars of their quote. They did a very efficient job, took care of our belongings, and were friendly too. We packed and unpacked our small things because we weren't moving very far. They handled all the large items though. The entire move only took us about 7 hours.
Description of Work: They moved us to our new house which was about two miles away from our old one.

The Mayflower movers came out and packed all of our belongings. They took great care to protect everything. They seemed very professional and orderly. They had everything packed up and loaded in no time. We ended up having only one nick in a piece of glass and they replaced the glass right away.

After our last move this was a breath of fresh air. The move was smooth as possible taking two days in total. The movers were well mannered and arrived at the destination a little earlier than they were scheduled to. This gave us a head start unpacking which they helped us with. Nothing was damaged or lost. It was a very well planned out operation.

The crew came out and they packed everything that we had not already packed ourselves, it was about half of our packing. They handled everything with great care and we had no damages at all. They seemed very professional and reliable. They stuck to the schedule we had set up and did a very good job. We would recommend them.

I was really impressed by how they actually stayed within $100 of the initial estimate. The guy came out and took a look at the amount of property and hit it pretty much on the head. The move went well and we didn't have a single damaged item. It was as fast and convenient as we needed also.

We contracted with Mayflower to move us from Maryland to Virginia Beach. We packed all of our own boxes before they came to move us. They were very professional and took a lot of care in loading and transporting our stuff. We only had damage to one table and they were very quick at taking care of that. We were very happy with this company.
Description of Work: They moved our household stuff about 200 miles.

They did a really good job moving us. They packed and unpacked our stuff. They took good care of everything.
