Cross-Country Move Nightmare: Customer Alleges Damaged Goods, No Refund from Moving Company
Boulder Resident's Cross-Country Move Turns into Nightmare with Damaged Goods Boulder, CO - A recent cross-country relocation from North Carolina to Colorado has left one resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, with significant property damage and a frustrating battle for compensation. The individual, who hired 'All My Sons Moving & Storage' for the first time, reported a series of mishaps that began even before her belongings left North Carolina. According to the resident, the movers arrived 90 minutes late to her storage unit in Durham, North Carolina. A critical oversight was their failure to conduct an inventory of her items before loading, a standard practice confirmed by the Colorado branch of the same company. Furthermore, she was reportedly surprised when the movers asked if she had a truck, only to later learn that 'All My Sons' had subcontracted the long-haul transport to a third party, Old Dominion, a detail she claims was never disclosed. Upon the arrival of her belongings in Colorado, the situation worsened. "Everything's destroyed," the resident stated, recounting how movers in Colorado informed her that they had "never seen anything this bad" in 15 years. Her desk, two dressers, television, bar stools, and glassware were among the items found broken or damaged, with contents of drawers scattered throughout the truck. For over 25 days, the resident has attempted to secure a refund or compensation from the company's Raleigh office, but has been met with unhelpful responses, with representatives claiming there's "nothing we can do." She expressed gratitude for her parents' support during the ordeal, stating she "would've broken down" if alone. This incident serves as a stark warning for others planning a move. The resident advises individuals to thoroughly vet moving companies, ensure a detailed inventory is taken, and obtain the names of all personnel involved in the process to protect their belongings and consumer rights.
