  The definition of bait and switch marketing tactics and scam. Scheduled time to do a walkthrough. They gave me a quote which I said was ridiculously expensive compared to others. Their VP if sales texts me without my consent asking to speak with me. I respond and he ignores me. The sales agent told me he was "already working with his director to give me a discount". I never heard back. Then I email and call again and no one responds. If you told them accountable for providing a discount they promise, they ghost you and never respond after providing an excessively expensive quote. Do your research and get quotes from other companies, and if FlatRate says they will give you a discount, they will do nothing but ignore you. Complete waste of my time

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

    The response actually reinforces the problem. FlatRate offered a discount, then did not honor that and now simply declines to respond or provide service. This is classic bait and switch tactics illegal in many states. I agree that further correspondence from FlatRate is not productive and thus the record should simply reflect the deceptive activities of FlatRate for all consumers to be aware of.

  Moving is fraught with occasional problems that more or less are resolved. But FlatRate Moving has brought devastating destruction and rock-bottom incompetence into a move of only 20 city blocks. It started with the unctuous, false promises by the salesman over the phone and via email. Of course well do this, of course well do that, we just want you to be happy. To begin with, the company supplied a fraction of the cartons than promised. When I saw the flattened cartons against the wall, I said, where are the rest of them? There wasnt a rest of them. I called them and they said thats all Id be getting. I must have squawked to their customer service (another ha ha), and a few more were delivered, too few. This initial incompetent facet of the move led to the stuffing, and I mean forceful, bodily stuffing of all my stuff in the inadequate number of boxes. Seeing the untrained packers (another horrible joke) physically forcing things into too-few boxes, with and without wrapping, was too much for me. There were two results of this mis-handling: several precious things broke, and more than I know at this point because I havent been able to open the boxes. Part two of this debacle is that one packer had haphazardly thrown my things in so that the contents looked like a tornado had blown through my apartment. For instance, for three pairs of shoes, so one shoe of a pair in one box, a second shoe in another box, and a third shoe in another box. Then theres the absence of labeling on 80-90% of the boxes and some of what there is is illiterate, misspelled, scrawled and inaccurate. The deliberate over-stuffing of boxes has meant that I cannot budge, lift, turn, or slide them. I will have to hire other people to open and empty them. I will not let flatrate near me again.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  First of all, flatrates customer service was complicit in the problem regarding the inadequate number of cartons supplied. It was they who said more were coming and they did not. Were it not for this failure, my items would not have been stuffed into the boxes we had, and not broken. Secondly, I will not accept an open-ended discussion of my complaint with no endpoint. There should be a deadline by which my refund and possible replacements would be resolved. So I do not believe what they say and it sounds exactly like more runaround. Id like to add that after I wrote my initial complaint, I found to my true horror that the doors that slide open on my two-section farmhouse cabinet dated 1905 to 1910 were jammed apart and to the back of the cabinet, and I have not been able to dislodge them from this position forced by one of the movers. I have never had a mover in the last 20 years that did this. Last but not least, how do you expect to discuss this with your claims department if you dont know the price of the objects ruined? most of my shoes and winter boots were crushed by the illiterate packer. Or are you talking about the whole moving fee, which should be returned to me as this was a noteworthy debacle. I think they are blowing smoke.

  I am filing this report to not only report Flat rate moving as a company with bad business practices, I am looking for assistance with getting my refund back in full.On 1/20/2024 I had a move scheduled move with Flat rate moving, moving my possessions out of one of their storage units where my they have been stored for the past 38 months. Upon arrival to my current home, the movers claimed that some of my items didn't fit on the truck and someone would be following up within the hour. After a few hours and not getting a call from anyone, I reached someone from the dispatch office, who claimed that they were not aware all of my items were not being delivered and that they would get back to me. After 1 FULL week of me reaching out to anyone who would answer my call, and me leaving multiple messages, I received a call and it was finally determined my (5) items were just lost. I was advised to file a claim and provide as much detail as possible to the current value for replacement. I have attached all documentation I sent, incl. submitted claim form, claim letter, existing photos, and photos of the current value, which totals $4,636. Additionally, I requested a partial refund for the cost of my move, $425 since the move was based on qty of items to be moved. (total value $850). Attached is the email I received notifying me of awarded claim refund of $300. According to the letter, the total value of refund is determined by weight? Then why ask for value of my possessions?? If I lost a diamond ring worth $10,000, would I get that value back in weight??? $5.00?This company has ZERO customer service. Not one person actually reached out to me to answer any questions, give me any updates or try and resolve locating my items. The claims department is email only, the sales department, who set up my move could care less. I was completely ignored and passed around to each ***** with zero answers. I will need to replace my items out of pocket due to their negligence.

  We're sorry to hear that you had problems with your Out of Storage move.

  We've checked our files for your move - it appears that you've been through our initial Claims process. Your items were not covered by valuation coverage, so your claim was settled at the Federally mandated rate of 60 cents per pound. FlatRate does not recommend shipping small, expensive items (such as jewelry) without valuation coverage or 3rd-party insurance. If you feel that the weights used by our Claims team were unreasonable, you may appeal your case by sending an email to **************************************.

  It appears that your move has already been reviewed by our ***************************** on 2/5/24 you were issued a refund/courtesy compensation of $207.28.

  Hello, I am simply writing here because FlatRate refuses to answer my emails and phone calls.I wish to resolve a billing dispute that is only $800 extra than what I paid. Attached screenshots of my withdrawals. July 3, 2023 - Flat Rate Total bill for delivery NY to ******** $3,640.16 Sept 2023, Wire Transfer to international delivery company $2028 Total Paid ******* + additional fees for paperwork, notaries, tax-id etc.This was supposed to be ONLY taxes around $1,200, but I paid $2,003 + $25 Wire fees, and I ended up being charged these warehouse fees unfairly - attached invoice_********.pdf file. Keep in mind the conversion rate in ******** pesos changes daily.FlatRate claims to be "well-versed in foreign regulations and customs-clearing processes" which I can attest was not the case at all. I had to rush to get a tax-id number in person in a foreign country unbeknownst to me, I had many signatures and notaries to complete, and various inventory and communication between parties as if I was the delivery company.My dispute is, I was falsly charged warehouse fees when that should never have happened if FlatRate was available to answer phone calls and questions by their shipping partners. I have many gaps for days in emails, and even now, there is 0 communication from FlatRate regarding my complaint after I was informed by ****** that they would help cover these warehouse costs.****** directed me to customer service and they do not respond to my emails and I am sent to voice mail when I call. I have not received any response voice mails or texts, or emails from Customer Service.My Account Order Number is: #******* Appreciate a quick resolution to this.

  We have forwarded your complaint to our ************************ as well as ****************.

  From what we've been told, the fees that you experienced in ******** were legitimate Port fees.  Your items were selected for a random inspection, which may have led to the associated fees from his inventory being warehoused.  The total fees and taxes charged by the ******** port may have exceeded our initial estimate stated on the contract.

  It is our understanding that **************** will be extending you some courtesy compensation for the problems that you experienced with your move, but FlatRate is not responsible for the ********* port fees.

  I signed up with Flat Rate to move and store items from my *** studio apartment in April 2021. I did so because Flat Rate offered the best price. However, several weeks ago I contacted the same Flat Rate staff (Ming **** and ***************************) who assisted with my move about visiting my storage locker to obtain some items and was told I would be charged $160 to do so. This fee was not included or disclosed in any document I signed. I noted this to the Flat Rate employees who did not respond to my emails. I complained to customer service and similarly received no response. If the fee had been disclosed up front, I would not have chosen Flat Rate. I believe this fee is illegal under state and federal law because it was not disclosed up front. Attached are the only three forms I received from the company and/or signed. I want the fee waived, and the company should be required to disclose it upfront to customers.

  Flat Rate Move Plan: ******* Long Distance Move ******** ** to ********* ** We utilized your company for a cross country move. Because we did not have a final destination our contents were to be stored until such time as we called for delivery.We were told our contents would be stored in ******. The crew who loaded our home contents in ** did a good job. There were many problems sprung on us the day of the move.Later we learned out contents were moved from ****** to storage in **, without notifying **.When we did request delivery of our contents to our new home in ********* the crew doing the delivery did a fairly decent job but worked very fast and we had to make them slow down to be able to document what came off the truck.I DID NOT sign off receiving everything because we had no way to tell that moment when they finished and were ready to leave.WE DETERMINED WE ARE MISSING SEVEN (7) BOXES of our contents.I IMMEDIATELY emailed the move coordinator to notify we are missing boxes (this started April 7th).Since that time I have emailed, called and left messages so many times TO EVERYONE I COULD FIND I DEALT WITH AT THIS COMPANY and including customer service email and phone.I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY REPLY AT ALL FROM ANYONE.It is now NOVEMBER and NOTHING. We are missing 7 boxes of contents from this move.I feel strongly that this company DOES NOT CARE AT ALL what to happens once they have your money and the contents are delivered (whether all of that is received or not).I WANT SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY IN THIS COMPANY TO ADDRESS OUR LOST CONTENTS AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. It is possible our contents could have been or are still sitting in a warehouse in ****** or Bronx, but since no one will respond there is no way for me to know if those things are lost forever or make a claim for them against this company.

  I was contacted by customer service on the 14th and told ********************** would be looking for the items. I have not heard further from them, but we agreed additional contact was needed to determine the status of my contents in both ** and NY locations. We LOST 7 boxes of contents in this move.  Having that amount be missing is completely unacceptable.  I was emailed separately a claim form from a different department with a bold highlighted clause that has a time requirement to file a claim, which I will NOT accept based on the business not responding to me for MONTHS. If this had been addressed at the time of the delivery when I originally notified the business it is possible we might have been able to locate our missing items. More communication directly with me to convey the extent of their ACTUAL efforts to locate our contents would be helpful rather than communicating via this portal to just file a claim.

  Our Long Distance Manager oversaw an effort to find your missing boxes/items. Unfortunately, they reported that none of the missing items were found.

  The only way forward at this time is to submit your claim form. If, by chance, your items happen to be discovered during the time your claim is being processed, then they will still be returned to you - there's no reason to not start your claims settlement process.

  This is the worst move I've ever had. Paid $1.5K to move a 2br apartment around the corner plus $500 for 2 packers to pack the apartment. Was told I'd have 4 movers in addition to the 2 packers and that it would take 4-6 hours total.Day of the move, they sent 2 packers, but no movers (the 2 guys they sent told me they were hired for the move that morning). I couldn't get any response or info from the company until they finally sent over 2 movers at 4:45pm, arrived at the new building at 5:20pm, 20 minutes after the end of the move in window. We were not allowed to move in and only had a place to sleep that night because the super let us at least take up our kids' cribs and our bed.

  I used Flatrate Moving to move my furniture and put into storage in their warehouse. When they returned the furniture 3 pieces were damaged and the marble on my nightstand was cracked. total damage was $5,175.00. they sent me a check for $1,780.00 which covered about a third of my replacement/repair cost. When I booked the move they asked if I wanted to buy insurance and bought $25,000.00 worth. They never mentioned the $500.00 deductible nor that they do not pay for shipping or sales tax. They also wouldn't pay for the other nightstand top as they discontinued the marble I previously had and had to buy that on my own. This so-called insurance is nothing more than a scam and even they later admitted it is not insurance. They were dishonest and did an awful job with my move.

  

  Business Response

  We apologize for the damage suffered during your move, but please note that the service which you signed for was not insurance - and was never presented as insurance - it was valuation coverage. We have included the signed **** of Lading from your move, where you can see that you initialed "Option 1", under the section which reads "VALUATION, THIS IS NOT INSURANCE"

  That section also includes mention of the $500 deductible.

  I was clearly asked my the person who wrote up the proposal if I wanted to BUY INSURANCE.  It was Plain English.  He didn't mention anything about that it WASN"T insurance, that there was a $500.00 deductable, that they pay no sales tax or delivery charges or that they would make good on making sure I had a matching set of tables.  I am not surpised as if he did I would have had many questions and approached this completely differently.   I assumed after I bout $20,000.00 of insurance that I was fully covered and left it at that.  I trusted them with this as I did my furniture.  Based on my experience clearly I was wrong on both counts as they misrepresented the insurance and damaged my furniture.  They can spin it anyway they want but they are wrong and their Yelp reviews back up what I am saying.

  I moved into FlatRate Moving's storage on 08/28/22 and was guaranteed two free months of storage to end on 10/28/22 (Move #*******). I moved out of FlatRate Moving's storage before the 2 months free promotion ended on 10/08/22 (Move #*******). However, since 10/28/22 I have been charged a total of $763.22 in monthly storage fees despite the fact I moved out of storage and have no items in any FlatRate Moving storage facility. I reached out to my move consultant ***************** on 08/03/23 about these incorrect charges and getting a refund but I have heard no response from him nor any other representative of FlatRate Moving. I have also not been refunded any monies and currently it appears my card will be charged again on 08/28/23. I have called FlatRate Moving's customer service line and no one has ever picked up any of my phone calls. I have also received no emails from FlatRate moving.
