Where to begin with this review... My experience with Metro regarding the move of my 800 square foot, two-bedroom home was nothing short of a nightmare.
Initially, I spoke with Thomas, who seemed supportive and assured me of his ability to assist with the move. He painted a picture of a seamless process at a great price, convincing me to put down a $900 deposit. Despite my insistence on paying in full upfront, Thomas advised against it, recommending a pay-as-you-go approach.
On the day of the scheduled pick-up, I received a call from someone claiming to be the dispatcher, who was shockingly rude and informed me that the movers were not coming. The following day, I heard nothing from the dispatcher, Thomas, or anyone else from the company, despite them already having my deposit.
Two days later, I finally received a call from Tessa, or whoever she claimed to be, providing me with a specific time for the arrival of the drivers. However, the deadline came and went without any sign of them. Another dispatcher called to apologize for the delay, promising a discounted rate for my troubles. Yet again, promises fell flat.
Eventually, a driver called to say they were ready, only to be contradicted by a manager claiming their truck was full and accusing me of having more items than initially noted. This was an outright lie, as I had photographic evidence of the nearly empty truck and storage unit.
After refusing to be swindled into paying extra, the owner called to assure me that I wouldn't be charged and arranged to pick up the storage. This marked the last contact I had with the driver or anyone from the company, as they promptly blocked me.
Now, I find myself forced to involve my lawyer to retrieve my belongings and seek compensation for loss of wages, pain, and suffering. It's clear that Metro operates as a shell for scamming unsuspecting customers. My advice: steer clear of this company at all costs.
