I hired this company based on what appeared to be an accurate estimate done by ***, who walked from room to room taking inventory. Unfortunately, on the day of packing and the following day of moving (10 miles in distance) everything fell apart. The team of 3, led by a complete incompetent, repeatedly attempted to leave the home while numerous areas, and complete rooms, remained unpacked. Even after continuously pointing this out, still an ironing board and step ladder were left behind. At the end of this day a receipt was received in which 2 additional hours of time was charged and an immediate call and email was made to to company. On the day of the move, I was advised the truck was too small and 2 trips were needed. This led to yet another call to ***, who came to give the quote, who tried to justify this by saying I wasnt being charged for 2 trucks so he claimed in the end that saves money. The initial trip to the new home was made, with the truck following behind me, and then 2 of the workers and myself returned to the original property. After the truck was loaded we all left the home and were to return to the new home for delivery. After waiting almost 3 hours, the truck finally made it to the new home!! Several calls had been made to *** during this time to no avail. At this point, I just wanted the truck unloaded and fragile items unpacked/reviewed and for them to leave. I refused to sign the final bill and advised I would call the office the following day as they were closed at the time. Within 10 minutes I received an email advising my card had been charged!! Although I was charged less than the quote, I was still overcharged over 5 hours of time and my efforts to resolve this with the moving company have fallen on deaf ears. They refuse to acknowledge my concerns, simply saying they charged less than the estimate. Based on their erroneous calculations I am owed almost $1,000 of time for services not provided. I also am missing several itemsBusiness Response

We had a great experience with the customer and we are very sorry she didn't feel the same way. The estimate was done accurately and actually ended up being $532.26 less than she was initially quoted. The customer during the original estimate expressed how important price was so we wanted to make sure we ended up charging her less than we told her originally. The team of 3 company employees have been with us for years and are very good at what they do, they are professional movers. Sometimes when we load the trucks it is hard for customers to understand why we do it a certain way and leave items behind temporarily to make sure items get stacked in order and properly to make sure all items are delivered with care and without breakage. This is important to all our customers as well as us so it has to be done how we feel is best and sometimes its not what the customer expects. Since price was important to the customer and the homes were close it was more cost effective for the customer to use 1 truck and make 2 trips then to pay for 2 trucks (a $229.00 savings), again we did this to keep her cost low even though it takes us longer. Sometimes customers on ********************** day have the desire to move extra items that they didn't want to move originally and we always accommodate them no matter how many trucks we need. On the second trip the driver lost time due to 5 the ******* traffic rush and a wrong turn due to incorrect GPS directions and was able to get there as soon as he could. We gave the customer a credit for that of 2.25 hours that was an additional $447.75 discount. While the driver was on his way there to the new home there was still an employee working on the clock at her new home as well to advance with the move. We spoke 3 times throughout the day about her concerns and I know she was worried about it costing a lot more money since moving is an overwhelming experience for people but I assured her we would get it done right and for less money, just like we promised in the beginning. Our standards of procedure is to verify at the end of the move that nothing is left on the truck before we leave which we did so there should be nothing missing. On moving day you can have upwards of 100 boxes packed and it usually takes customers 1-2 weeks to find items that they thought might have been lost. Im sure this is the case here as well. Our total discounts and credits to the customer to provide her the experience she deserved was as follows. We saved her $532.26 by not using a 2nd truck that would have cost her $229.00 extra and getting it done for less money, we credited her more than the time the driver was lost at an amount of $447.75 and I also gave her a discount of an additional $532.26. All together it totals $1741.27, with no broken furniture and a crew that thought they had a great experience.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
Many of the statements made in the reply are inaccurate. The fact is, this was a sloppy and unnecessarily stressful move of 10 miles. The first day I was not credited the time for the hour lunch break the movers took and on the second day the loss of almost 3 hours was not even close to 5:00 traffic, off season, and the 3rd mover at the new home was waiting outside for over 2 hours for the rest of his team to arrive as he was in communication with the driver many times during that period.
Now that I am unpacked, I have unfortunately found that I am missing an irreplaceable glass sculpture, a serving tray, have a broken frame on some artwork and am missing several earrings from my jewelry armoire - which I dont understand as it was wrapped very well.Having moved as many times as I have, I knew the costs can add up and money was of no concern. However, being charged for several hours of work not performed is unacceptable. This company should take responsibility and admit this move was not handled properly and credit the customer appropriately.
Sincerely,

HI the adjustments were made to the invoice when the final bill was processed, the invoice was emailed to customer and reviewed with her at the end of the job, where are concerns were addressed. I told her in advance we were credting her for the time lost due to driver getting lost. That credit was made. Breaks on both days were discounted from labor time. On 5/16/2025 the Damage Claim Form was emailed to her to process the claim for any damage.Initial Complaint

I was given an estimate to move from ********** to ******** with an estimated time and number of movers. There were storage days involved, as well. The movers were late getting to the first house. They took almost twice as long as estimated. One of the beds is a PBK captain's bed. The head mover was in that room for a significant amount of time. Never asked for any help. Afterwards, claimed the "crib" gave him a hard time taking apart. I was charged more for that portion of the move since it took so long. I tipped all three movers as my stuff was going to be in their care for three days, hoping that would be incentive to take good care. Fast forward to delivery day, late again. We were very generous with saying things like first floor or second floor and only having some of the items designated to a specific room. The cluster that this was is too long for the remaining space. However, the highlights, they would not put the captain's bed back together. Claimed they were not allowed to put together a crib. Found out when we put it together, they broke one of the drawers. They broke a dresser by dropping it. Complete cracked on the bottom and the backing pulled away. They did not put king size bed together and didn't even lay the mattress on the frame. Found broken piece there, too and no screws for the bed slats. They scratched/nicked two other wooden bedroom pieces, broke/popped out a piece of a kid's water table, put boxes labeled kitchen not in the kitchen. I left a ****** review stating some of this. Not all was known at the time. They claimed they had sent a claim form four days prior, which if they had, meant they sent the claim form prior to delivering at final destination. Had to hound them to file a claim, and ultimately the "refund" is nowhere near the *********************************** the contract. Horrible experience all around. Complete and utter disregard and disrespect for my family's worldly possessions. Deserve D ratingBusiness Response

Hi we have apologized for any damages caused during the move and have processed a Damage Claim and have refunded the correct amount to the customers credit card already. The customer supplied the weight of each piece according to the contract and the damage claim was processed according to the supplied and attached contract. The customer agreed to 60 cent valuation and denied purchasing our recommended insurance. We always try to take the utmost care of our customers belongings during the move but unfortunately unexpected things can happen during transport of items on highways and thru the process. Because of this we always encourage our customers to purchase insurance to cover their worldly possessions. and belongings. In this case the customer denied the 3rd party insurance noted on the contract where it states the following: Basic Value Protection - Customer release this shipment to a value of 60
cents per pound per article, at no cost to them, unless they purchased third party insurance. This means shipper will be paid **************************************************** damaged
item, regardless of the actual value of the item. We emailed the insurance information to the customer and she read it and reviewed thru a tracked email, following shows when the email was reviewed by the customer. Opened at 10/02/2024 @ 8:53 PMFollowing is what the email states:
Why You Need to Purchase Insurance:)
Hi Kim
Here at Two Chicks Moving we care about your belongings.
Per State of Florida requirements, we carry and offer you FREE of charge...Valuation coverage which is .60 cents per pound. To help our customers understand this better we offer the following example. If we were to break a 60 pound 65 inch TV that cost $600.00 we would compensate you $36 dollars for the TV.
In many cases, this is not sufficient coverage for our customers. So to be able to offer you additional coverage for all your valuables we HIGHLY Recommend purchasing insurance thru ***** Moving Insurance. If you don't purchase this 3rd party insurance you are denying additional coverage for your belongings. This is a coverage we recommend.We understand the customer is as upset about this as we are and we will take appropriate actions within the company to make sure our team is aware of it and can continue to provide extreme care of our customers belongings.

Contacted Two Chicks Moving for an estimate to move from their flyer new biz guarantee to beat any competitor or move you free. After a visit seeing what was to be moved, a written estimate was given for 1600 sq ft home, 2 car garage and lanai furniture @ $1500 based on 3 man crew and 7+/- hours within the same zip code, 10 miles. I accepted the est signed a contract, paid 10% deposit. On Thursday, June 23, crew of 3 showed up in a small rented UHaul truck, I was told the moving van broke down. This truck was too small to move a household without making several trips. By lunch the truck was jammed full and more than 1/2 my household wasn't touched. This crew wasn't prepared for a move of this size, too few men inadequate size truck.
Upon reaching my new home, I found us locked out, my fault. Within 20 min, my landlord in Ontario Canada contacted a local locksmith to open the house. The crew decided to off load my belongings in the carport and open lanai. I was told should my stuff stay on the truck I will be charged over nite storage fees. The locksmith called was on his way arriving in 20 min. The crew decided to leave stating another crew will come back next day. I never told them to leave me and my belongings in the driveway. They did on their own, asked to be paid and locksmith passed them on the street. My furniture stayed outside for two nights subject to theft and weather. Two Chicks phoned asked me what happened, I explained, she told me they were booked for the month and they'll get back, no call back.
Fri 6/24 6:15am received a text for me to confirm Sat 6/25 and another dep req to move the bal and bring in what's left outside. On Sat, 3 person crew same UHaul show up, work till 5pm, still not enough room or crew members. This was a complete disaster from start to finish. The bill was $2300+ from $1500, $800 over the est. Had the proper size truck and crew been sent it never would be a 14 hr job over 2 days! Deceptive practice, bait & switch! $800 bkBusiness Response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/08/01) */
We offer our apologies for how the move turned out. On the first day when the crew arrived to the new home and found that the door was locked the customer told them she was not sure when they would be able to get in and that she did not want to pay to have them wait. The crew was never told that the locksmith would arrive in 20 minutes, if they had been told they would have waited and finished the job. The crew suggested overnight storage but she did not want to pay the fee. The crew was told by the customer to unload her belongings into the car port and lanai. Our crews don't make their own decisions like unloading a customers belongings and leaving it outside unless they are told to do so.
From our communication with the customer there was no damage to her furniture from being in the lanai and carport. There was damage to furniture during the process of the move but she does not want to follow our claim process for us to be able to bring her a resolution.
Unfortunately our moving truck was being repaired during her move and we had to rent a Uhaul and could only rent a 17ft truck. On the second day of the move the customer was not charged for the time it took to make the multiple trips for her belongings that did not fit in the truck. We also only charged her for 2 crew members instead of the 3 crew members that moved her the second day. That saved her $470. In the end the customer only paid for the labor it took to load and unload her belongings, the time it would take to make one trip (the way it should have originally been) and a minimum fuel/truck/trip fee $75 for the first day and another $75 for the second day because we did have to come back. The extra $800 was because it took longer for her belongings to be moved. We only charged her for a 2 man crew on the second day but sent a 3 man crew because we felt bad we couldn't finish it on the first day. The original estimate was 7.5 hours and it took the crew 13.25hr. There must have been more stuff than what was originally on the estimate for it to take that much longer. That was just the time it took to physically prepare her furniture to be moved, load her belongings, and unload them. The fact that there was a smaller truck did not increase the final cost because she was not charged for the time it took to go back and forth to pick up her belongings. The amount of time it takes to load and unload someone's belongings does not change because of the size of the truck, it would have taken the same 13.25 hours if everything fit in one truck. We also
There are always unforeseen factors that can affect each move and make them take longer. These can be the customer adding more furniture or boxes than that were on the original inventory, difficult access areas unaccounted for in the new home, etc. That is why we stated in the job estimate that it is an hourly non-binding estimate, and that the estimated total is an estimated total. The customer agreed to pay the time necessary to move her belongings. Unfortunately there are mistakes that happen and factors we cant always anticipate. We apologize it had to occur during your move. We do good work and do our best to provide accurate estimates and they are accurate more often then not that but we are human and do make mistakes and we recognize that.
But our crew was acting on what the customer had told them, she did not want to pay extra and had them unload her belongings outside. We came back as soon as we could and did not charge her extra fees or time because the truck was too small. We tried to help and be considerate of the customers situation and only charged her 2 guys instead of the 3 that moved her belongings. We are confused as to why the customer decided to wait a month to seek resolution. The crew stated she seemed very happy at the end of her move. We tried to start our resolution and claim process with her but she did not want to work with us.
Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/08/03) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I take offense to this response and do not infer I'm making any false statements! Under no circumstances did I state it's ok to leave and my belongings stay outside! Any company with any sense of integrity wouldn't have left a customer in this situation! My new neighbor was right here witnessed this chaos also heard the conversation regarding a locksmith was on his way! The crew most certainly knew I was going to have access shortly they definitely made the decision to leave. The movers themselves stated can't bring items back on the truck, our boss will be mad, you'll be charged a heavy storage fee. Of course I would this is a rented truck they're paying for! And assured me another crew will be back tomorrow. They did not want to wait even though I'm paying by the hour.
You planned to move a 1600 sq ft home with a 17ft truck and 3 crew that day. Why wasn't I informed of this prior to showing up! Had I been advised of the unexpected challenges I faced, this move never would have taken place. I was given no choice as the paying customer!
Two Chicks estimated 7.5 hours to move a 3/2/2, I relied on the "experts" to calculate time, cost and truck space needed. They incorrectly judged the estimate, the amount furnishings never changed, look at the contract, you documented what was being moved. How could you be so far off from the original estimated amount of time and space needed? I didn't make up these figures, I went by what was presented fully aware it could be higher or lower, but $800 over 30% more? Had you stated $2000+ to move I would have looked elsewhere for other quotes for comparison but $1500 seemed in line. Is this how you are able to lore customers in then take advantage by misjudging prices? Being so far off from the customers written estimate is unacceptable business practice. I don't accept a bigger truck makes no difference, that makes no sense. A proper size moving van and able crew would have made this move more efficient, time is money. If I wanted UHaul I would have hired them and lowered my expectations for much less money!
No company should be allowed to advertise best price to move or we will move you for free. When all said and done the final price is higher than what another company would have charged. Buyer beware, I was taken advantage of with this entire process by being given a estimate that wasn't anywhere near the final cost. A customer is expected to gladly accept your lack of experience in under bidding by over 30% and your willingness to deceive the public. I am requesting a refund for the overcharged amount of $800. Had Two Chicks been truthful, honest and remotely close with the estimate we wouldn't be having any dispute. No consumer should be given information that is completely unreliable to base their decision in choosing a company.
Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/08/08) */
Hello, We understand the importance to move from our position to come to some sort of resolution. We have noticed that ******** has not moved from her position. We choose to trust our employees. They get raving reviews from customers on google and through communicating with us after the move. Our crew expressed to us what we explained in the first rebuttal. We offer to bring a resolution for the damage that is our fault and occurred during the moving process. According to the customers first communication with us she did not mention damage due to the furniture being under the carport and lanai. There was no rain during the time her furniture was under the carport and lanai according to "Weather Underground"
https://www.wunderground.com/history/weekly/us/fl/fort-myers/KRSW/date/XXXX-X-XX
We will compensate her for the damage that we caused. Everything else that occurred was not our fault. The customer was not ready to enter her new home and did not want to pay for the crew waiting for a locksmith. She also never communicated to the crew that the locksmith was only 20 minutes away. We went back as soon as we could. We did not charge her for anything extra, she paid for the time it took to physically move her at the hourly rate she agreed to. During the estimates process unfortunately there can be mistakes but that is why we had the customer agree to a non-binding (hourly) estimate and she did.
According to the estimates inventory we were moving less that 1200 cuft according to what the customer told our estimator she wanted moved. The customer mentioned that we moved 1600 cuft in her last rebuttal. That is significantly more and that accounts for the extra time it took us to move. The customer required the movers to move more.
