On June 18, 2024 I hired MuscledUpMovers.com to move our household furniture and other stuff from ***************************************** to ***********************************************. The move went well except for 1 piece of furniture that was damaged during the move. We purchased the coffee table about 1 1/2 years ago for $1700. They have offered $350 towards the damage but this is not acceptable. Since we did not claim the furniture to be over $1000 this is they have offered for their responsibility. *** asked for them to pay us $999 for the damage they caused but they refuse to do so.In addition they have been very hard to communicate with. All communication is via email and sometimes a week goes by without a response.Customer response

We did not purchase additional insurance for more expensive items.
They claimed that since we did not they would not cover items over $1000. So I suggested that they reimburse us $999 for the damage. They caused this damage, not us.
Thanks

I hired Muscled Up Movers to move my things into my new home. The three movers they sent damaged my furniture, left scrapes and holes in my walls, and broke my tv base. They were aware they broke the tv as they glued it back together while on lunch My move was scheduled between 9-12. They arrived at 9 and went to lunch at 10am. They left their tools at my apartment so I had to go get them just so they could finish moving my items in. After the movers left I noticed the damages to my items and called my scheduler *****. I contacted them the same day and was told to email claims. The claims department said it was associated with the move and no adjustments would be made. I processed a stop payment thru my bank. ***** called and said claims wanted to discuss and I asked him for what he proposed in writing as our previous written communication said nothing would be done. I also followed up again and received no response.The business operating under an automated message offered me a cleaning service which I declined. Then I got a series of messages from Accounting threatening me with jail time and a new bill with almost triple the balance owed. Once I let them know I would report their threats they again stopped responding.Per the agreement I signed they would disassemble as necessary. The dining table clearly didnt fit thru the door and they damaged it when they should have taken it apart. It also said my items would be covered in transport and they were not.Initial Complaint

Date of transaction: May 29th 2024 Amount paid to company: $2,145.00 Nature of Dispute: Replacement/refund of two T.V.'s (58 inch and 32 inch) while moving items onto the moving truck.Company declined replacement or refund of T.V.'s due to items already being bubbled wrapped, and unable to inspect items. As a moving company, and the time they take to train their employees, I would hope, they would go over key elements such as bubble wrap is not a guarantee of protection for any fragile items. Why was there no extra protection offered to customer would be the bigger question on hand. The company is also refusing to reimburse or replace due to "option" selected by customer which is a cop-out so the business does not need to be responsible. When I have *********************** (team leader/supervisor) tell me that what he saw, and how those T.V.'s were loaded onto the truck wrong, and certainly not the way he would have loaded them, what does that tell us? You are a moving company, I dont understand how you can not be responsible for damaged items done by the hands of your employees. As much as we paid for the services, the least the company could do is reimburse us for two damaged T.V.'s. Do the customers right instead of corporate greed.Business response

To Whom It May ****************************** were surprised to receive this claim, as we spoke with the customer during the move and obtained signatures confirming that their televisions were already padded and the power cords stored away. Due to time constraints and hourly charges, the customer requested that the TVs be moved as quickly as possible, agreeing that dismantling and checking them would incur additional time and costs. Attached, please find the customer's signed confirmation.Additionally, we find the $2,145 claim amount to be highly questionable. Based on our experience, these televisions typically range in price from $180 to $300 (see attached) . It appears that the customers may be attempting to make an unjustified claim.Please review the attached documentation for further details.

Dear Sir/*****,
We would like to address a recent issue concerning *******'s submission of a claim to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). While we understand her concerns, we believe that she may have acted prematurely in escalating the matter. Throughout the entire process, we have been diligently working alongside *******, ensuring that every necessary step is taken. It is important to note that not all procedures can be streamlined, as investigations, discussions, and research are often required. In any business, unexpected complications can arise, which is why it is crucial to approach each situation with care and avoid making ***** assumptions.
Attached to this message, you will find a detailed record of our communication, which clearly demonstrates that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily. The new breed has been successfully recovered, and ****************** has been duly reimbursed.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Claims Department

I am rejecting this response because:
Ha, these guys are a joke.
1. They should be finding someone to come and fix the table, as they're contractually obligated to do and based on what was sold to me, that would be done BY MUM, not put on my shoulders to make calls, get quotes, bring it to get fixed, etc.
2. I emailed one of the co-owners or at least the COO, ******* several weeks ago, directly appealing to him and asking for assistance. Because customer service isn't a priority there, I got ZERO response. (see attachment)
3. I also emailed several weeks ago to the MUM claims department and just said to send the reimbursement check... weeks later... nothing (see attachment), other than being told previously they wouldn't b/c I might leave a bad review. Again, no idea how customer service or contracts work. It's funny how after you file a formal complaint, people pretend to be operating in good faith.
So yea, "we'd be glad to reimburse him" appears to be anything but.
Sincerely,
