If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and you're moving locally, 
watch out for a company called E-Z LOAD MOVING.

I assumed I'd be able to write them a check, but a day or two before the 
move, when I called to confirm their arrival, he demanded cash.  Had I 
had some time, I'd have said, "blow it out your ear," but as it was I was 
committed.  But, the reason I didn't worry when I should have was that I 
had a reference from one of their regular customers.

But getting that reference was like pulling teeth.  When I asked (I 
called 3 companies, asked for phone references from all of them and EZ 
was the only one who gave me a phone reference on that day) for a 
reference he balked.  I explained I was just shopping around.  So, when 
he actually gave me the reference, an antique dealer--and I got a good 
report from them--I figured I was safe.  

But on the day of the move I found that they had kept some of the items I 
entrusted them with.  I guess they thought I wouldn't miss them.  They 
were wrong.  I do miss them.  Very much.  

I'm going to take them to court soon.  If you've had problems with them 
yourselves, please contact me:  Ron Mendricks; ronm@crl.com.

Thanks for browsing. 

Ron.
