MOVERS BEWARE!!!!! I wish I could leave 0 stars. I am in process of a cross-country move with Elite Moving Partners and feel compelled to write this review. I may have written 3 reviews in my time, always to share praise, but I am writing this to hopefully save someone the stress and anxiety I've been undergoing for the past 2 weeks. Ever since I paid my deposit for pickup, it has been a horrible experience! I initially spoke with ********* ("Moving specialist") who among other companies I reached out to for quotes, was super fast to respond. We went over my 1bdrm apartment inventory (approx 796 Sq feet apartment) and he quoted me with a competitive price. He also said that due to a sudden cancellation on the truck, I would receive a "discounted price," if I booked that day. He also told me that my move from CA to NJ shouldn't be more than 11 days after pickup - So I decided to move out of my Apartment 8 days early to give them a head start to NJ. ********* said to ignore the contract sent stating that it could take, 5-30 days and that the average is no more than 11 days. He stated that they have to create a larger window in case of bad weather - Fine. That seemed fair to me. What a fool I was to believe this! I paid approx. $1500 for initial deposit. When it came time for pickup, Elite Moving Company failed to tell me that they actually outsource a different company to do the actual moving/travel. They also have NO control over when this company decides to finally move your stuff. ********* also told me I could continue to pay with my credit card - LUCKILY I happened to call their Customer service number the day before and, ***** ("specialist") informed me that I would need to pay them with a cashier's check. Upon pickup morning, one of the movers looked around my apartment and instantly said I'd have to pay at least $600 more than my second payment installment quote ($1242) because they'll need to wrap my furniture pieces in blankets...
