      We moved in February 2022 and still have outstanding questions on a lost/stolen/or misdelivered rug valued at $1000. They claim the rug was delivered and have essentially called us liars when we state that it was not delivered. A rug that was not ours (but was mixed in with our possessions) was handed back to the driver and an email to our representative was sent that very day stating this fact. A trace was to have occurred but our questions go unanswered for over a month now regarding their trace process - what process is used in looking for missing items, who oversees that the correct homeowners possessions are loaded onto a truck and what process is used in determining the rightful owner when apparently a wrong rug was delivered to us. It took the claims team 6 months to get us a check for items that were broken during the move and also for a missing step ladder. Why would a missing step ladder be included in the monetary reimbursement but not the rug? And now we are told once we cash the check our case is closed. Communication with the claims team has been abysmal - and now to continue to wait over a month to questions we have and still have no answers - is just one more example of bad customer relations. Our request is to be reimbursed the $1000 for the missing rug.

      Business Response

      Date: 09/01/2022

      In response to the BBB report, we do apologize for any issues that may have occurred during your relocation.

      Hughes Relocation picked your items up for storage, which were all containerized together in storage vaults including the rugs. Your items were not in contact with items belonging to any other customers goods while being handled by Hughes or the warehouse. Upon your request for delivery, we released those items over to ****** *** ***** for transport to your new home. All the containerized items were brought to a specified area for the operator to  check the inventory to be sure each item to be transported was accounted for.

      A proper tracing has been performed to locate the item which you were reporting as missing;  however nothing resembling that item was located. There were no items from your household left behind at the Hughes warehouse or in the storage vaults that contained your household goods. There was an in depth search performed as soon as we were notified.  

      When items are reported as missing on claims, ****** *** ***** does a tracing with all adjoining customers.

      As your goods were transported with ****** *** ***** for the state to state portion of your relocation, they processed the claim for loss or damages based on the information signed at time of delivery. If you are not in agreement with any part of their settlement, you may forward your concerns in writing to the adjuster that handled your claim settlement. If the settlement is not resolved to your satisfaction at that point, the adjuster will offer you a free arbitration that is handled by the American Moving and Storage Association.  They are a third party, not affiliated with ****** *** *****,  that will review the full claim and make a final determination for all parties.

      Again, our apologies for any part of your relocation that was not satisfactory.
