If they refuse to pay tell them "see you in court" and "I plan to file a report with the better business bureau" then do it!! I don't think it's too expensive to file. I am sure you will win your case against them. What state are you are in? Call the city hall or the local chamber of commerce in your town and ask them if there is a legal aid society there. Most counties have a legal aid society. They will help you with a case if you can't afford to pay a lawyer. Sometimes they are lawyers just starting out kinda like going to the beauty college to get a hair cut. Costs about 1/4 of the regular price or sometimes free depending on your income. Like the others said, take lots of photos and keep all the packaging materials. Sorry this happened to you...

When things settle down, you can try looking at Rplacements.com to see ifyou can locate the broken china pieces. They sell tons of replacement china, glass and silver pieces. My mom has ordered several pieces from them and never had a problem. http://www.replacements.com/index.ht...FQ10gwodPhFNEg I hope you are able to get this worked out. |
So sorry to hear of this, taking pictures might be a good idea if you are going to place a complaint. It won't make the mess any easier, but they might compensate you on your bill.

Thanks everyone for your concerns and suggestions. You all make me feel better.

I am so sorry!! Definitely file a claim. Never had a problem with movers ever...not even growing up and we moved every 3 years (Dad was career AF).

All movers are not trained on how to pack and ect. They also get help from the local Labor offices many times drunks and druggies so it is no wonder I know this because we drove for a moving company we refused to do household moving because we weren't trained for it. What we learned mostly in training do not loose a inventory andpacking list because it will cost you $500.00.

Also, take pictures of not only the broken contents but of the boxes and packaging that they were in as proof of the condition the boxes were recieved in. We packed everything on our last move but they moved us and did a really great job. We did get recommendations from several people before hiring them. They were local guys. Young college guys with decent muscle development. Not the wasted druggie looking kind of people.

I lost all of my wedding pictures (unfortunately in a box with a movie camera.) I didn't even realize it until about 3 months after the move! Submit a claim and don't back down. You paid good money for the move and expect your property to get to the destination in good shape. What colors do you need for your stash?
