  On July 8, 2023, a trio of RA Movers ("*****", ****** and "******") arrived at my former home in **************************** to move my belongings to **************. The spokesman of the group, ***** was both callous and rude, greeting me with the words, "What do you want moved?" Zero customer service skills. They snickered amongst themselves and carried on inappropriate conversations relative to an individual they knew who was gay. Post-move, I was heartbroken to find that a commemorative bi-fold mlitary Navy knife as well as a black leather bi-fold badge holder containing my late husband's retirement badge and *********** was missing. These items were of sentimental value and no amount of money could ever replace them. I understand that things might fall out of a drawer during a move, but this $150.00 knife was in a sheath that was velcroed closed. Only the closed sheath remained in the drawer of my husbands things. Am I to believe that the knife fell out of a closed sheath, which then reclosed itself after the knife allegedly fell out? Draw your own conclusions on that one. Contacted owner "*****" of RA Movers with no resolve. His first defense was that none of his employees were thieves (I never made that accusation) and that the knife "must have fallen out of the drawer." He stated he would check with his staff regarding the missing items. That was in early September and I've yet to receive a call back from him.

  I contacted the owner of the business on September 6th regarding the missing items.  He stated that there were no thieves in his employ (one of the trio of movers involved is his brother) and that he would check with them to see if anything had turned up on the truck.  To date, I have not heard from the business in response to my missing items or my complaint.

  Yes, I did tell you that our employees are not thieves because we are not. We have great reputation in our community. my guys get paid well and would never steal. ***** runs a tight ship and had been with our company since day 1. he is not rude but he is firm and does let you know what is needed to get the job done the right way. when booking the job we do tell our customers that everything but clothes and lines needs to come out of the draws, exactly for this reason. loose items in draws are not safe when moving and transporting items with draws.  loose items Neds to packed and the customer knew this. we do pack and protect the furniture. we have no need to check the draws and I'm sure my guys didn't check the draws. this is a good crew that has never has complaints. I fully have confidence that my men did not take your items. I am sorry you item was lost and hope you do find it. my guys checked the trucks and cleaned trucks. I did respond to your call and I told did not find anything. like I said I know fore sure their are no thieves in this company.

  This customer wanted the free insurance and chose not to buy the full value insurance. This was a long distance job that was supposed to go directly for point a to point b. A few days before the move the the customer stated that they now need storage and they are not sure for how long. So we had to adjust our strategy.  Everything left this customers house wrapped and protected, and all her items remained that way until it was received at the unload. I do take a 10% deposit on all long distance jobs, how ever this customer could only pay me $100 until they sell their home. We spent 4 days packing and moving this customers house with 6 men each day. we went above and beyond fo this customer taking everything but the kitchen sink. We did this work in good faith because we knew we were not receiving any payment until the unload.  We stored her items for free and we never changed out quote. we delivered two truck loads to this customer this "organ" was on the first load. my ******* delivered this organ on the first load, he put this item exactly where they said they wanted it. he finished unloading the truck and proceeded to head back for the second load. About 800 miles away). they did not say anything about the condition of this organ when it was delivered on day 1 of the unload and had an extra two days before the second load came. this couple was intoxicated on the unload and we have several witness. my ******* staled they must of moved the organ themselves because it was in a different spot when they arrived the on the second day of the unload. After my men left the second day I was then contacted the next morning about this organ. this customer has denied the full value insurance and elected to get the free insurance that comes with the move. an average organ only weighs about 200-250lbs. we are willing to pay her the .60 per lbs  on her damaged item. she has demanded more money, up to $1000. she has also threaten to ruin our reputation on the internet. we are willing to work with this customer but she is asking for more than what she agreed for.

  I used this service to move out of state. They stated that one of my items could not fit on the truck and that they would bring it down within a month. They later stated they would ship and its been 4 months and I have not received my items. I was missing a box, my stick vaccum. I was told that they found it in their storage and would be shipping that as well. I still have not received it and its been 4 months. Another large box went missing and they claimed that it leaked. They either discarded the entire box of my items or lost them because I still have not received the contents of that box.

  I hired RA Movers,*******************, for a move within my town. They were callous, and I believe that they stole several items. The magnitude of the items that they broke, and that have been missing are in the double digits, and many out irreplaceable. Things of high-value are nowhere to be found, and antique furnishings were damaged where they cannot be repaired. They broke three credenzas, I have seven pairs of expensive boots missing, which I believe they stole. They rampaged through many of my items, and now I am missing all types of items that were cherished memories between my lay husband and I. They broke pieces of furniture and gouged an antique table and hid it behind boxes when they delivered my goods so that I wouldn't see it till after they were gone.. They refused to give me any reimbursement. I have moved 10 times and this is the only time I have ever had a problem with the mover. They are not less expensive than other movers in the long run. You will pay much more trying to replace all the things that they will destroy or steaI. What it cost me was about $15000 in missing items and furniture that is heirloom and cannot be replaced.

  This statements are absolutely false. No one stole from you.  You gave items away. This will be a reason we no longer take items from customers. I have proof in text that you were giving them items. The move went fine, I have text and messages to prove that you were happy with the services (calling then moving ninjas). I provided more than one moving service for her on multiple occasions and she was happy every time. I even went there for free on the last occasion to help her find missing items and to move some things around. We were there for about three hours making sure everything was where it needed to be and to help organize/ find missing items. I have proof of this customer saying she is missing things on multiple occasions, then here texting me saying she found the items. She states men stole CDs and a box of used boots. We never been accused of stealing and she is looking to tarnish our reputation anyway she can. I have records of her calling me at past office hours at night and I did my best every time to make everything right. She will hear from my lawyer for calling us thieves and reporting that we stole. This is illegal and will be addressed.  I have went above and beyond for this customer, I did not answer her calls and her multiple mass text each day degrading out company. This will get handle the legal way.

  The company insists on a $50 deposit to book a move. I had to cancel my move a month ahead of scheduled date due to plans falling through. After several phone calls and emails they agreed to refund my deposit. They kept lying to me telling me it will take 15 business days each time I contacted them. I never received a refund.

  I have not heard from the business in response to my complaint. They told me back twice that they would refund me within 15 business days which was in August.

  This issue has been resolved. I do have proof of a refund receipt.  The whole point of a deposit is to reserve a date of a move. They are non refundable because that does take a date of the schedule. She moved her move date at least 3 times before cancelling which is more than we do allow. She has her deposit money back even thought we do not refund deposits most of the time
