    The date of the transaction is 12/11/2024. The estimate provided by the company for my interstate move was $15,563.05, on the date of the move I was charged by the moving company $26,883.00,when questioned I was told that the company that provided the estimate did not know what they were doing. When I wanted to follow up and left numerous messages my calls went unanswered.

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We are in receipt of this customer's complaint. We would like to begin by apologizing if the customer did not feel they received a satisfactory explanation of their cost increase. We have requested a copy of the final documents and will forward them to the customer for review upon receipt. If the customer has any additional questions we encourage them to reach out to our customer service team for additional assistance. Thank you.

    This is in no way a resolution to my issue. This is their next step. And by the way **************** is impossible to reach. They put you on hold and after an hour of waiting the drop the call. I have tried it multiple times.

    Business Response

    To Whom It May Concern:

    The customer's price increased due to additional items requiring additional space as well as services required. The ******* presented and explained this price increase at the time of pick up. We cannot change the customer's pricing but we are happy to offer compensation in the amount of $300. If the customer is having difficulty with the hold time for **************** they can also email our **************** team at ********************************************************* and will receive a response within 1 business day.

    Complaint: 22786154

    I am rejecting this response because: I have attached the Final Estimate page as well as the items included in this estimate.

    I can't imagine that 32 additional small boxes would increase the estimate from $ ****** to $26,883, this is $11,320 more.

    In addition to this a lot of my furniture came damaged, and some of the boxes were missing and are still missing. One of the missing boxes contained my silverware including 30 sterling silver spoons. Each set of 6 costs more than $300. So I don't know how you came up with $300 in compensation. That is insulting.

    Sincerely,

    *** *******

    Business Response

    Date: 02/07/2025

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We must again stress that the customer signed an estimate based on a set cubic footage. Upon exceeding that cubic footage their price was revised to reflect the space they utilized. We cannot change this cost. We have provided claims information for any missing or damaged items and the customer must follow the proper channels to receive compensation for missing or damaged items. We again would like to offer $400 in compensation for any inconveniences caused. Thank you.

    We originally booked with 3 Brothers Moving and Storage not knowing they were a broker. We sent our initial deposit through ***** since It was linked to our bank. Once we found out they were a broker we refused to sign any other secondary contracts because we were assured they had a "fleet and team" to move our belongings. That was a lie as the next day they sent a moving contract from ****************** as the middle man to move our belongings. We followed their protocol, did not follow through with that contract, and requested a refund through email. After the email we called and made sure that It was seen (they said billing was going to be in touch the same day to refund the $1319.00) Billing never called. We then contacted ********* ******* from the company. He assured us to wait 3-5 business days. We waited and still no refund. We called the number to "billing" belonging to ******* Goluth (the number we were told to Zelle the deposit). He turned out to be a dispatcher, said he didn't know anything about that, put us on hold and hung up. I reached out again to *********, he said we just had to play "the waiting game" because they have a lot of refunds. That was the 19th of December. It's now December 27th and they are telling us to just wait our turn because they have "a lot of refunds" though our turn was over 2 weeks ago. As of 4:52 pm Dec 27th we are now being told we have to wait 60 days to receive a refund. This is an issue that should have easily been resolved. Not something that has been continually pushed back. They accepted the money within minutes but now It will take over 60 days to get It back.

    December 2, 2024, I hired 3 Brothers moving and storage company to load, move and unload my inventory. On Dec 2nd, I was given a quote of $1576.00 for total move (see attachment). On Dec. 2, I paid 3 Brothers $564 deposit. 3 Brothers hired a subcontractor to do the job. On the day of the move, Dec 19th, the subcontractor came 4 hours later than the designated time. He walked in the house for about 30 seconds, looked around at the inventory and said he wanted an additional $500. I told him I wasn't going to pay the extra charge because my inventory was accurate. In fact, I had 3 medium boxes and 1 bookshelf less than the inventory, which 3 Brothers salesman, ********* ******* knew about. He accepted the changes (see 2 emails attached). The contractor told me he would not do it. I called 3 Brothers Moving and Storage company immediately and spoke to **** ******. She did not believe me about the quantity of my inventory and said I was not telling the truth. I told her I would send her pictures of the items to prove it and she said that wouldn't help. I asked her if I could speak to her supervisor, and she said "no". She said if I didn't pay the extra money, then the movers would cancel the job, and I would lose my deposit. I could not pay the extra money. I called Mr. ******* and he refused to speak to me. I then emailed her and the salesman, Mr. ******* the next day asking to speak to a supervisor and neither responded.

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We are in receipt of this customer's complaint. At the time of pick up it was determined the customer required 100 cubic feet additional for all of the items they wanted to go. We did also explain that the inventory list they had provided did not contain all of the items at the pick up location and therefore additional space was required. The customer did not wish to move forwarded with services and sent our team away. Based on our cancellation policy, the customer's deposit is fully non-refundable based on their refusal of service. Thank you.

    3 Brothers Quote was intentionally not accurate.  My inventory I submitted to them was not used to give me the quote they gave me.  In fact, I took some of the original inventory off the list and they still wanted to charge me more.  After speaking to 2 other moving companies, it appears that 3 Brothers Moving gave me inaccurate quote so that they could demand more money at the time of moving. 

     

    My question to them is: How do you charge more money when my inventory to be moved was less than submitted with the quote I was given?

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We do not intentionally charge the customer less. We provide the customer an estimate based on the items they provide. If the customer does not accurately describe their items or their items are different than what they provided to us their estimate has a potential for change. Even if the customer had less items, as they claim, if the items they did have were larger or inaccurately described then there is still a potential for price increase. As a courtesy we are willing to offer $150 in compensation. Thank you.

    I am rejecting this response because:  I did describe my inventory accurate. I think using the ********** boxes that said medium and small on the outside of each box is pretty accurate inventory. I did not "claim" to have less inventory. As the email attachment sent to your salesman stated, I confirmed to him I had less inventory once everything was packed. None of my inventory was inaccurate in its description.  You contracted a moving company who: was 4 hours late to the property; didn't want to be there, as he stated to me; walked into my house and within ****************************************** $500 more. Once I spoke to your company for over 45 minutes with your employee screaming at me because of my frustration at the moment, it ended once she said, "everyone's definition of a sofa is different" and they were going to believe the mover over me. The intentions of your company and the contracted company YOU hired were never to charge me the price I was quoted. It was just for you to get my deposit and then charge me additional money at the time of the move.

    On Sept 12 I began speaking with **** at 3 Brothers Moving and storage. **** was contact person who processed paperwork and payment. *********** both insisted that I had a very large move would require multiple trucks. I agreed to terms and conditions while under medication following surgery due to the timeline of my move, knowing I could review and cancel. When I reviewed my estimate the estimate indicated 1684cf (******lbs) equals one single truck. When I attempted to contact the company I was unable to reach anyone. On Sept 28 after 7 days of attempting to contact customer service using four phone numbers I had been provided I sent an email requesting cancellation of my move, and requested my deposit be refunded.On September 28, the company sent an email which confirmed cancellation and authorized a full refund of my deposit of $3482 in response to my request for cancellation and refund of deposit. In my request I questioned the legality of the contact as it specifically stated my move was considered a long distance move quoted for 24 miles, although my move was only 18 miles door to door, and well under the 50 miles to qualify as a long distance move. I also questioned the fact that over the phone both representatives insisted it would take multiple trucks yet the estimate indicated it was only for 1684 cf (******lbs) which would have only been one single truck. On Oct 13, I received email that they would check with billing as I had not yet received refund. On Oct 30, I received request of address for billing to send refund check. Though multiple emails and text messages have been sent, I have received no further response, and no refund.I hired a different moving company and paid hourly for 3 movers and 1 truck, 1684cuft, a total of $2135 in cash for my move on Oct 7. Which is approx 1/4 of the total 3 brothers estimated total moving cost of $7503. I have an estimate under 3 brothers and a bill of landing under company name unlimited moving and storage

    I got them for my move to *****************, ** and talked to *** and told him everything that needed to be done and be out by Dec. 5th. I sent the deposit $1500, $792 for pickup and $792 for delivery. I told him I had a 2 1/2 garage and a bunch of things to move. During the months before the move I talked to ***** and told I hope that I hope you guys have a big enough truck to move all of my stuff. They said don&#**;t worry we have a big enough truck and we will be there on Dec. 4th. They were supposed to be there between 11 am - noon. I texted then and I told them I have to be out of here by midnight. They texted me that the driver would be late. They kept changing the times. The driver got to my house at 10:15pm. The driver got there and said I had too much stuff and would be charged more money. It ended up costing me $5200 instead of $3100. I told 3 different people that I had a lot of stuff. I would like a refund.

    Business Response

    Date: 01/13/2025

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We are in receipt of the customer's complaint. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration they have experienced. We understand how important a smooth move is.
    The initial estimate was based on the information the customer provided to their ********************** coordinator, who created an estimate based on cubic footage (CF) requirements for the items disclosed. However, the customer is required to pay for the cubic footage their items occupy on the truck, as this reflects the actual space needed for the move. This can occur if additional items are added, if items are oversized or non-stackable, or if extra services are needed. The customer is charged for the space their items occupy, which the customer agreed to at the time of pickup.
    Additionally, the customer agreed to and signed the revised estimate with the carrier at pickup, which is why they proceeded to load their items based on the agreed-upon details. Based on this information we cannot provide a refund as all services were rendered. Thank you.

    I scheduled a move on 10/12/24 for the end of December for within SC, and the company IMMEDIATELY took $1400.66 for 1/2 of the moving cost out of my account. The move had to be cancelled a few days later, so I contacted Three Brothers. They said I could get only $850 back because they still had to pay for gas and manpower, but after two months of repeated texts and phone messages to the billing company, I've had no response and no money returned. I called again last Friday (12/13/24), but was told the ************** doesn't work on Friday, and to call back on Monday. On Monday I called back and was told the ***** was "out to lunch." After 2 months since the move cancellation, I still have not received ANY refund or the courtesy of a return call. Do not use this company. They are a Fraud!!

    I never received any response from Three Brothers regarding my complaint submission with BBB. Also, please note the following:

    1) No mention of a 72 hour cancellation mandate was mentioned verbally or written in the agreement.

    2) The move cancellation was made in writing more than one month before the scheduled move. I was told when the move was scheduled that changes could be made any time before 5 days prior to the move.

    3) I texted ****** *********, the Relocation Specialist, on 12/6/24 requesting the status of my promised refund. He responded that half of the deposit in the amount of $850 had been returned to me. When I responded I had not received it, he said to check with the ************* at ************. The ************* never responded to voice mail or texts.

    We are still in the middle of our move and it's not going well!. In shopping for movers, I provided ********* ******* of 3 Brothers Moving with a detailed list of what would be moved - it was a California King mattress and box springs-a 3-piece sectional couch-a flat screen TV and 5-7 boxes. He provided me a quote for $1976. That is exactly what we shipped (along with one set of golf clubs), but when the movers showed up on December 8, 2024, they said the move would cost $4000. Obviously I was unhappy and argued, but my daughter and I had a flight out that afternoon, so didn't have a choice but to agree to the move - based on the movers indicating that 3 Brothers would probably resolve the charges before the delivery occurred. I did call 3 Brothers customer service (before sending the movers on their way) and they said they would review the paperwork and get back to me and figure out a resolution. That was 10 days ago. Since then I have called Christian several times, but he blocks my number and sends it to voice-mail. I have also called customer service several times, but they say they still haven't received any paperwork. Today, customer service said that I am out of luck, because I agreed to the revised pricing and will have to live with it. I reiterated the circumstances - movers there to pack and load quoting double the estimate, me and my daughter with flights out that afternoon, no choice but to proceed. Based on my experience so far, 3 BROTHERS MOVING IS A SCAM AND NO ONE SHOULD USE THEM. In addition ********* ******* CAN NOT BE BELIEVED OR TRUSTED AND MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE CUSTOMER SERVICE. DO NOT USE 3 ********************************************* AND IF YOU EVER RUN INTO ********* ******* IN THIS JOB OR A FUTURE ONE, EXPECT ANYTHING HE TELLS YOU TO BE A LIE.

    To Whom It May Concern:

    We are in receipt of this customer's complaint. We do apologize if the customer feels he has not be able to make adequate contact with his relocation specialist, *********. We do encourage all of our customer to contact **************** for any issues that arise once they have booked their move as they are the team members that would be able to provide assistance in those circumstances. The customer signed a ********************** estimate with us that states that if they have any additional space, weight, items, or services needed their price is subject to change. The mover did provide the customer with a revision of cost and the customer elected to move forward with the revised cost. The other options the customer had prior to agreeing to that estimate cost was taking only items that would fit in the initial estimated space or declining services. We would like to offer the customer $100 as compensation for any issues they have had and if the customer has any additional questions we encourage them to contact customer service for assistance. Thank you.

    11.23.24 11:00 We told 3 Brothers Moving & Storage, ***** ****** (*******) we needed to move 5-bedroom home ** to **. Quote included 2 semis- 1 full & 1/2 semi. ***** said he could move us for $5136. Paid w/ echeck & signed quote thinking it was what we discussed. 11.25.24 12:45 ********************************************************* ********* ****, had me sign another agreement they referred as a Bill of Landing. That night, I told my husband he mentioned we needed 2036 cuft, contract says 1000 cuft. He calculated again space we needed for a 5-bedroom home, 1000 cuft, was not even close to what we discussed on phone. We researched 1000 cuft was 2-3 bedroom. I emailed ***** @ 7: 37pm he called back saying it would get figured out after the next day with his manager. 11.26.24 10ish Contacted ***** the next day, manager contacted us and told us it was not possible to do a move that cheap. We said then we did not want to use them and to cancel. Which states on the website they refund if canceled within 72 hours of the signing of Bill of Landing. Then we got a new contract 2 hours or so in our inbox with a different cuft #, same price. We ignored the email since we knew the manager already said on the phone we could not do the deal with our budget and we canceled. ***** called again and we did tell him the manager could not come to an agreement earlier and he acted dumbfounded like he didnt know the manager told us they couldnt do the move. He said he sent us another email contract and we could get what we wanted. My husband said firmly once again we were not using his services because of the way they do business and he needed to refund us our money. 12.4.24 6:24pm Wednesday evening ** time the dispatcher calls from the company and wants to discuss our move with us. We told him we canceled several days ago. He said he was just dispatch. I said we are waiting for our money back and he said good luck getting our money back he was just dispatch. Call came from ************.

    3 Brothers was hired to move our 77 year old Mother into subsidized housing assisted living. The day of the move we were told they subcontracted out to another company who was 4 hours late making it impossible to get her to her new facility before the *** that day. Upon arriving and loading the truck they said the price would now be more than double the original estimate. The added items on such as mattresses, stairs, boxing, long carry, and additional stop, all of which was listed in the original contract. I tried for 24 hours to communicate with the company to understand all the additional charges and there answer was "we have to wait for the final invoice". When the truck arrived at the facility the next day the driver demanded $4000 in cash before he would start unloading. (The original estimate TOTAL was $2300 and her original balance on delivery was $1300.) 3 Brothers was of no help to diffuse the situation. The driver refused to supply us with identification, receipts, or paper copies of the final invoice, and tried to run me over when I took pictures of the truck as proof. They started to leave and told us we would pay $900 if they had to return and a additional $600 for everyday it took to get back to deliver the goods. She has over $5000 in damages to items they deliberately broke and flipped upside down when placed into the facility. The contract they originally made her sign states that she is not allow to negativity impact the company on social media for any wrong doing.

    We are in receipt of this customer's complaint. Please note that the customer did sign a Bill of Lading with their assigned carrier listed prior to pick up as well as our estimate which states we are moving coordinators only.

THE CARRIER MAXIMUM LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE AMOUNT OF THE ACTUAL LOSS OR DAMAGE, (B) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO SIXTY CENTS (60 CENTS) PER POUND MULTIPLIED BY THE ACTUAL WEIGHT (IN POUNDS) OF THE LOST OR DAMAGED ARTICLE; OR (C) THE LUMP SUM DECLARED VALUE.

    5.

ALL ESTIMATED CHARGES AND FINAL ACTUAL CHARGES WILL BE BASED UPON THE CARRIER TARIFF WHICH IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION FROM THE CARRIER UPON REASONABLE REQUEST.

    While we do understand it may be frustrating for the customer if there are unforeseen delays we do not guarantee time frames and explicitly state that all time frames are estimates and not guaranteed. The customer was provided an estimate based on 406 cubic feet. If the customer exceeds this space reservation they will be provided with a revised cost at the time of pick up. The customer agreed to this revision and the pick up crew moved forward wit loading the items. Upon reviewing the customer's initial contract, they did not have services listed for packing, long carry, or a second stop. Because these were not itemized charges listed, the charges at pick up are applicable. 

    Per the customer's signed contract, all payments are due in full prior to the team offloading. The customer did have to pay their remaining balance in order for the delivery team to begin to unload the truck. We will certainly address the allegations the customer stated regarding potential safety issues at the time of delivery with the carrier that completed the move. 

    If the customer has any additional questions regarding the revised charges we encourage them to contact our customer service team. Thank you.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Company has not been responsive to any of our calls. They finally sent a email a week later (attached) telling us how to file a claim but the response (attached) from the claim company states that they do not service that carrier who does not even match the *** and MC# that picked up my belongings. The final estimate was not given to us to review and contained additional charges clearly stated in the original contract that were to be included in the original price. When asked for a paper copy we were told to "take a picture". Carrier would not even give us personal ID & a receipt for paying $4000 in cash. When I wrote a bill of sale he denied signing it and scribbled on a separate piece of paper that we paid him with no ID to prove it. The only documents and contract we have clearly state that 3 Brothers is the mover and at no time did they inform us that they were subcontracting out the move to someone else.

The customer is welcome to read their estimate to see that all of this information is provided within it. 

    We are happy to request a receipt be provided for the payments made at the time of pick up and drop off. We also encourage the customer to file all claims with the claims company they were previously provided. Additionally, we would like to offer compensation in the amount of $250. Thank you.
