    The moving company Five Stars Movers wasn't able to deliver my furniture and goods within the contractually promised window and wasn't able to provide any updates/solutions either.Five Stars Movers picked my belongings up on Jul-28 2023 from ********** ** and should have delivered the goods to ********** ** no later than Aug-23 2023 based on the contract. However, as of today Aug-24 2023, the company failed to deliver the goods and wasn't able to provide any updates on either the timeline or the actual location of my goods. Moreover, any attempts to communicate with the company failed-- I couldn't reach the company's dispatch manager as well as the sales rep by phone calls, voice messages, text messages and e-mails since Aug-14. No one in the company ever contacted me concerning the delay. I need my things delivered ASAP and a refund for the move as the company failed to fulfill their responsibility.

    Absolutely terrible experience. If I could give it a negative rating I would. When they fist packed up my apartment in ****** they tried to add charges after everything was already packed up. Only when I said ok bring everything back up then did they meet me on the middle with a fair resolution. I put my stuff in storage until I had an address in my new location and once I had a delivery address I tried for a few months to get on a truck but communication was poor. The last email I received after that said Im working on it I think I will load up over the weekend I will let you know as soon as finish loading up the semi. The next thing I heard was that the truck was 5 miles from the new city WITH MY FURNITURE ON IT! I had NO warning and was told that if I couldnt accept delivery I would be charged for holding the truck up. I pointed out that I wasnt even in the city and that it was 2pm on the Friday of a holiday weekend and I had no warning at all. I ended up having to scramble to get a storage unit in about 1 hour, have a friend take $3300 out of a bank to pay them on site because they refused to unload unless I had the cash. In addition, I had to pay $800 for an additional shuttle truck because I didnt have time find a place that could fit the big truck. As I communicated this all I got was defensive attitude and no accountability. Even as I was trying to work this out with them they simply stopped responding to my emails. I believe they have predatory pricing. They low ball quotes but will to all they can do add additional charges when they have the customer over a barrel. I will NEVER use this company again and hope no-one else does. Its sad that a company can stay in business with an attitude and communication like this. Its well worth paying more initially for a reputable, honest moving company. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
