I was quoted a move for 2000lbs @ $0.69 per lb.
for a total of $1, 497.00
They kept sending "updated" quotes for a higher estimated weight even though I was removing items and decreasing my estimated weight for a higher payment and all the while I was informing them that they were "overestimating" the total weight to be shipped. They then sent a quote for 4000lbs (double my original) for a total of $2900.00
They repeatedly assured me that if the weight comes in lower I will be refunded or credited that difference at delivery. This did not happen and on the day of the pick-up in OR. a company I didn't know showed up and had a bunch of papers for me to sign and the driver told me that I was signing a 10% holding agreement for my stuff's storage in a warehouse. It actually was an agreement that my esitmated weight would be within 10% of the estimated weight...therfore when the weight came back at 2000lbs they could only refund $200 off of the estimated $2900...therefore they scammed me out of $1, 200. I paid over $2, 700 for an estimated $1, 497.00 move!
This FRAUD and a felony under federal law.
