              Meathead Movers in mid-April 2023 sold me on moving services and storaging personal items at what was stat** was a Meathead Movers-own** facility in Oxnard: **************** [select Oxnard option which now r**irects to the website of USStorage.net] There was no indication this facility was in the process of being sold or to be sold at some future date. I was email** this AM for payment from a 3rd party, USStorage, for storage at that location. In calling the USStorage manager for Oxnard, Daisy Rodriguez, she stat** her team took over the Oxnard facility Mon June 5 on "short notice", and that she has no information to share with existing customers at this time. A request to speak with management at Meathead Movers has been met with silence. As you may know, even the process of selling residential real estate may take weeks to well over a month for the process of title check, finding existing liens, inspections, etc to occur. For corporate real estate, there may be concerns around zoning changes, etc. that ne** to be discuss** with local government offices before a sale takes place, hence, that process could take well over 6months. I believe by my moving date of Thu May 4, and possibly earlier into March before I even spoke with the Meathead Movers sales team, they would have known Meathead Movers was initiating a sale of that property or in the middle of a sale of that property. I ask for BBB to investigate whether Meathead Movers has execut** misleading sales to explicit fraud against customers. It is possible dozens of consumers (Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, LA County) using that facility are unaware of the ownership change. While I file this complaint with BBB, I am stating that I do not give up rights under the laws of the Unit** States. Please let me know if someone with BBB Tri-Counties can speak with me. Thank you.

              I would not recommend this company. First, they were over an hour late, and they employed dishonest people. I accidentally left my Chanel wallet that had $5000 cash( to pay a contractor), a checkbook, credit cards, gift cards, and my Cartier ring on a storage bench. It was a hectic day, and I didn’t notice it was missing until I unpacked it late that night. However, I did not assume they stole it and thoroughly reviewed my belongings four times. I am 100 % certain that one of the movers took it. The team consists of Ricardo, Garret, and Steven or Stefan. The main suspect is Garret, who spent the most time in my room. I had a strange feeling when I came into my room to check, and he looked up with this guilty expression. As I mentioned earlier, I said, it was a hectic day, and I didn’t think anything of it when it was too late. I called them, and of course, the staff denied seeing a wallet, and the company did not offer anything but empty ‘sorry comments, and I understand what you’re going through.’ Fake and lies. All I could do was file a police report. Do not hire this company, or they will steal from you. What is done is done, and I learned a big lesson. However, I want to get the work out for any movers looking for an honest moving company. Stay away. Lastly, to the thieves, what goes around, comes around.
