    Unpursuable:
    BBB is unable to locate the business.
    Failure to Protect Floors: Movers didn’t place drop cloths until I requested them, after walking inside with shoes on. Unprofessional and Inexperienced Movers: Only two movers arrived instead of three as quoted. One was visibly unwell and inexperienced, slowing the entire process. I was told at the end that he wasn't even part of the crew—he was just a friend filling in due to staff shortages. ?? Insured?? Professional?? Lack of Professionalism: The movers didn’t wear uniforms or introduce themselves. I was forced to sign forms despite raising concerns, and Tom promised a credit that I never received. Rude Comments: When I raised concerns about the slow pace, Tom told me, “We’re saving you money by not having a third mover. You’re welcome”. One mover spent >30 minutes fishing out screws he dropped down my vent. Damaged Furniture and Floors: Several pieces of furniture were scratched, and my daughter’s bed was half assembled and remaining screws not left, mattress placed over bed in attempt to hide damages. Hidden Credit Card Fee: I was charged a $42.54 fee without notice or being informed of a CC carge. Had I known, I would have paid in cash. Trash Left Behind: Movers left plastic coverings and pads inside my home and in my dumpster when they are supposed to remove and dispose of their own garbage. Owner’s Poor Fix for Damage: The owner attempted to fix a 3-foot scratch with a furniture marker that didn’t match the wood. I refused to let him touch the other damages after seeing his poor attempt, which caused me to have to get things fixed myself or live with the new damages. Despite contacting the company to resolve these issues, I received no resolution or compensation. This was my worst moving experience, and I strongly advise others to avoid Castle Express Moving.
