I never received an itemized check list from *************** The schedule pick up date was for 6/22/25 @12 Noon, EST they were not present, by 3:PM EST I was contacted and was told they were having trouble with their van arrival time was between 4:30-4:45 PM EST , Upon arrival I was met with rude and unprofessional attitudes from their drivers after they noted all that they had to move and at that time they begun to itemize each item, relating that this is not on the list they took everything out of the storage made a telephone call to their customer representative who stated there will be an additional fee, I had the drivers to put my items back in my storage shed and requested my deposit to be returned, I was then offered a 10% discount which I refused.

  On 6/11/2025, the customer booked a move with ************************************ LLC from a storage facility in *********, ** to a new residence in *******, **. A deposit of $1,300 was collected at the time of booking, as per the terms outlined in the signed estimate and cancellation policy. It was clearly stated that the deposit is refundable only with 7 business Days written notice prior scheduled PU date . 
  The scheduled pickup took place on 6/22/2025. Due to unforeseen delays, our crew arrived later in the day. We sincerely apologize if this caused any inconvenience. Upon arrival, the crew conducted a standard visual inspection to compare the actual inventory with the estimate provided at booking. When it became clear that the inventory was larger than originally quoted, the customer was informed of the need to update the estimate to reflect the true volume and weight of the move. This is standard industry practice. At no time were our employees intentionally rude or unprofessional. We regret if our service did not meet the customers expectations, and we take all such feedback seriously.

  The customer ultimately decided not to proceed with the move and requested a full refund of the deposit. As per the signed agreement, the deposit is non-refundable once services are scheduled, and this was communicated to the customer again on 6/23/2025.
  We are would offer to the customer to reschedule the pickup at the customers convenience, and we are happy to provide an updated and accurate estimate based on the complete inventory observed during the initial visit.  Or Customer also has opportunity to use this deposit of $1300 for the booking the service with us within next 12 month. 

  Thank you for your understanding,

  I am rejecting this response because: They lied about everything.  They gave 3 different times. Kept changing the time and then we were waiting for them at the storage unit. They showed up and got out the truck and started smoking cigarettes. They stood around. Once they said every single item needed to be listed I told them that they didn't provide me a list to fill out. They only verbally asked and I gave an estimate of the items. I explained it is in a 10x10 storage unit that's full. They said they only go by cubic feet. So they should have converted the metrics or asked for a picture if they wanted every single item counted and listed. They wanted to add more to the price and nit pick every item. I told them leave the stuff in the unit if its a problem. They said everything was fine and they kept going. Then they left all my items outside on the ground and all 3 of them were sitting there playing on their phones with no resolution. I asked whats going on and they got some lady on the phone that was screaming at them and me. At that point I dont trust them or the people they sent. It was a nightmare.  I want to be refunded. They were unprofessional,  rude. Started ignoring me when I was talking to them. If they wanted a line by line list they should have provided something for me to fill out and attach a picture so they can give an accurate quote for the move but they didn't. I feel like these people are running scams. Show up and try to charge more and in the end they take half your money. They didn't even mark the boxes with anything to get an accurate count. Overall terrible experience.  Need to be refunded and they need to start asking for pictures and give the customers an inventory check list to fill out and sign not just verbally ask and then they fill everything out on their own.

  Wayflowers Van Lines, LLC provided moving services from ************** to ******. Among other issues, our china hutch was damaged. The crown moulding was detached. The mirrored glass in the hutch was shattered due to their improper handling and packaging. They charged $200 to package (bubble wrap) the hutch. It was not bubble wrapped to protect the mirrored glass, only the glass doors.This damage occurred during the pick up date of 2/28/2025 and delivery date of 3/24/2025.The moving insurance company only offered a settlement of $77 to repair the hutch.A local (Oregon) furniture repair company quoted $1,995 to repair the hutch.

  Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding your recent move . We sincerely apologize to hear about the damage to your china hutch and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
  According to our records and the signed Bill of Lading for your shipment, you selected Released Value Protection, which limits our financial responsibility for loss or damage. Under this level of liability, the compensation is based on the items weight, not its actual replacement or repair cost. If, for example, your china hutch weighs approximately 125 pounds, the maximum liability for that item would be $75.00 (125 lbs $0.60). We understand that this amount does not reflect the actual cost of repair you have received locally, and we acknowledge how frustrating this must be. However, the liability option chosen, we are not authorized to provide compensation beyond the calculated limit. 
  Regarding the packaging service for the china hutch, the $200 charge cover the labor and materials used to prepare the item for transit. We take care in training our staff on proper packing procedures, but we recognize your concern and will review our internal handling practices to ensure continuous improvement. 
  Again, we sorry for the inconvenience this situation has caused and are available to answer any further questions you may have, please feel free to contact us at ********** at any time.

  1) the moving quote they provide is wildly inaccurate - they will tag on a hundred added costs after you sign the quote - this company is a scam. 2) many items were MISSING upon delivery - the company essentially did NOTHING to resolve the issues i reported (missing items that were never received was just one issue). I filed a claim for thousands of dollars of missing items, and the claim was settled at $75. what a joke. i want to warn people not to use this company.

  Thank you for sharing your concerns. It is very important to us to hear from our customers.
  We are responding each of your concerns separately for clarification.
  1. Your Concern About the Quote
  We are truly sorry for any misunderstanding. Based on your file, Wayflowers Van Lines is your carrier only, and we did not provide you with the original quote. All our charges are based on the exact services provided. After carefully reviewing your file, we found that additional charges, such as long carry and elevator fees, were added at the time of delivery.
  Our contract clearly explains all possible additional services that are not included in the initial estimate. For reference, we have attached a copy of the signed post-contract service documents. For any further questions regarding your original quote, please contact your broker directly, as we act solely as the carrier.
  2. Your Concern About Missing Items
  We are sorry to hear about the missing items. Unfortunately, our records do not show any reports of missing items before the complaint was filed. However, we will immediately begin a track-and-trace process to investigate further.
  3. Valuation Protection and Claim Settlement
  According to our records, you selected the Limited Valuation Protection option, which comes free with your move. Compensation under this option is calculated at $0.60 per pound and does not cover the actual value of lost, damaged, or destroyed items.
  Your claim was processed by an independent third party claims company based on the valuation protection level you selected. Additionally, our customer support team attempted to contact you to discuss offering a complimentary increase to your compensation, but we were unable to reach you.

  
  Please let us know if you have any further questions or require additional assistance.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  it is untrue that the company is just now hearing about these missing items. I reported the missing items immediately to the driver. I also called the company and reported missing items. this company failed to take any action to recover my missing items. I again called the company to follow up regarding these missing items, which is when i was told to file a claim. 

  the quote was wildly inaccurate. i understand that quotes change, but i was misled by this company and i wish to warn other customers. 

  I also cited a number of customer service issues within my claim (ex lack of responsiveness), which the company has failed to address. 

  finally, i am not satisfied with the way the company is handling my missing items. i understand that there is a policy in place regarding cost. however, how on earth did they arrive at this cost based on weight of items that they have no idea are missing? a bed frame, my entire dish set, expensive clothing, an invaluable collection of jewelry, among other items. I believe these items were stolen. the companies poor response and lack of consideration is upsetting. I simply would like to warn others not to use this vendor.

  We are sincerely apologize that our response did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, our records do not show any reports of damage/missing items directly with our company. Please note that your move was booked through a broker, and we are two separate independent companies. If you reported the issue to the broker, we regret to inform you that we have not received any notes or communication from them regarding this matter.
  
  After carefully reviewing your file, we could not find any calls or emails addressed to us directly. Additionally, your delivery documents do not contain any remarks about damages/ missings.

  We are keeping track and trace of the missing items,
