Business ProfileforJacob and Sons Moving & Storage

On April 9th I paid a deposit of $1218.79 in agreement with an estimate we received on the cost of moving our belongings from *********, ** to ******************, **. The total estimate we received was $3950.83. Upon arrival on 5/28/24, the moving company increased the price by $1800, claiming there was more in the house than estimated. That was a lie. I have the old estimate and the new estimate, and the furniture listed is the same, with the exception of 4 additional boxes (19 boxes as opposed to 15 boxes). When we pointed this out, they claimed its about cubic footage rather than the furniture, but neither estimate has cubic footage on the documentation, and the cubic footage they claimed we had was also wrong. They claimed we had 1400 cubic feet as opposed to 829 cubic feet they estimated. That was incorrect, as my photos show their truck is only half full with all of our belongings and could easily be estimated to around 800 cubic feet. We asked to cancel the move, and they said they would not return our deposit if we did, leaving us forced to either lose our deposit or $1218.79 or pay them the extra cost of $1800 over our original estimate of $3950.83.
