Hi, Has anyone else ever had to deal with the �MOVE FROM HELL�. We hired Williams Moving and that�s what it was. I�ll start by saying this company is one that gives you the impression they are above board, HA........was I wrong. We were moving back from the OK valley to the Van. area. The driver arrived 4 hours late & told us he had just driven all night from Alta. Packers had come earlier & blanketed the furniture & were waiting for the driver for over 2 hours. After the trailer was loaded (10:30pm) the driver told me he was going to leave for Vancouver, despite my concerns expressed to him about the hours he had just worked & driven & that the OK Connecter was in the middle of a snow storm not to mention he was carrying a trailer full of antiques & a antique grand piano. Despite my concerns he said he was ok & would leave. The next day he arrived 4 hours late again. I was then informed that they did not have a third mover with them & could not move the piano in that day ( we paid for 3 men ). As the furniture started to come in it became very apparent that the driver had a problam on the way to the coast. 75% of our antiques were broken or damaged in one way or another. They had gone as far as to try & hide some pieces behind boxes. Through talking to the swamper I found out they had swerved all the way up & down the OK connecter due to the snow storm, & the driver was not alert. After further conversation learned that the driver had 2 sets of log books to avoid a legal problams due to driving too many hours. The following day 3 men arrived to bring the piano in. Why was I not suprised to find they had lost important screws & there was damage to the piano as well. After conversations with the V.P. of the company we still have not been compensated for antiques that will never be the same, after they�re attempts to repair this furniture. Angry..........you bet, frustrated right again, but mostly sad to see a company of this size can have so little concern for it�s customers & reputation. If anyone else has had the same type of problam call me at 532-5895 or E-mail : mkaufman@Direct.ca
