Overall Poor Experience
ZERO STARS - Absolutely Terrible Experience I recently used Hello Movers for my move from Lakeland to Lake Mary, FL, and it was the worst moving experience I have ever had. I was initially quoted $1,706.25 for the move, including a $350 fuel surcharge, which seemed reasonable. However, the final bill was an outrageous $2,037.50, with no clear justification for the extra charges. Here are the major issues I encountered: 1. Deceptive Pricing:The movers were dispatched from a location much farther away than initially disclosed, resulting in travel time nearly double the original estimate. This additional travel time was not communicated to me and significantly increased the cost. It's a blatant case of bait and switch. 2. Unjustified Break Charges: The movers took a lunch break during the move, and I was billed for this downtime. According to the contract and standard industry practices, I should not be charged for movers' breaks. This is highly unprofessional and unethical. 3. Lack of Transparency: Despite multiple requests, I was never provided with a detailed breakdown of the charges. The company failed to explain the sudden increase in cost and ignored my inquiries. This lack of transparency is unacceptable. 4. Poor Customer Service: When I tried to dispute the charges, I was met with rude and dismissive responses. The customer service team showed no interest in addressing my concerns or providing a fair resolution. I dealt with Nicole, Gilbert and their father Xavier whom may sounds like a nice family business but theyâ re really just rude bullies. 5. Overpriced Materials: I was charged exorbitant rates for packing materials, far above what was initially quoted. This added to the already inflated bill and felt like an attempt to squeeze every possible dollar from me. In summary, Hello Movers exemplifies everything that can go wrong with a moving company: deceptive pricing, unethical practices, poor communication, and terrible customer service. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere. Save yourself the headache and choose a company that values honesty and customer satisfaction. Avoid Hello Movers at all costs!
