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
