  We engaged 2 Men & A Truck Tucker to help move on 3/15/24 to a storage unit. We paid a deposit ($597.00) on 3/12/2024, and scheduled to have 2 movers arrive at 1pm to transfer furniture and boxes - we did not request any assistance packing, and everything was already boxed. We had an estimate of 3hr maximum to finish the job, as my wife had already transferred 50% of our items to the storage unit.They arrived almost 2hr late. They were not working together/taking items individually, even big items. The first piece of furniture damaged occurred when one mover tried to flip a large, 150+lb dining table over without assistance, and ended up catching his hand, dropping it, and breaking off the legs (picture attached). He then proceeded to spend 2+hr trying to fix the table with screws and wood glue, while the other mover placed almost all items in the truck on his own. Once the movers had all items in the truck and arrived at the storage unit (~7pm), then began to move items quickly and carelessly, damaging our grill and family heirloom bed, among many other smaller possessions that we did not claim. They also declined to use a mattress bag on our new mattress because it was 'too difficult to move'. The dining table was a total loss and they did not store it/hauled it off.We spent several weeks attempting to contact the business (email thread attached), only to find almost a month later that our contact had been fired. We were then told that, despite the gross negligence of the movers, because we had chosen the lesser insurance, they were not going to compensate us for over $6000 in damaged furniture (links to similar items in email thread). They paid out $363.00 on 5/14/2024 based on their $0.60/lb minimum insurance, which they actively tried to talk us out of upon reservation. The business took no responsibility for their gross negligence and insinuated that we were at fault for not choosing better insurance, despite being pressured to choose no insurance at all.

  As previously stated to ****************, we would like to apologize for claims that have been presented as a result of their move and any inconvenience the claims may have caused. I understand that moving can be stressful. It is always our goal to resolve matters expeditiously so that customers may settle into their new space without delay.

  In determining the most appropriate remedy, the business considered multiple variables and completed a thorough investigation. It is noted that basic valuation was elected at the onset of services. Basic valuation is provided at no additional cost and defines the carriers maximum liability for claims of loss or damage will be $0.60 per pound based upon the weight of an item regardless of its actual value.  The election was authorized via signature by the customer at the outset of services and this method is prescribed the contract and the ****************** of ****** Safety.
  

  Again, we apologize that the service did not take place without incident.  We do wish the Westlys the very best in their new home.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  While we understand the notion of the insurance package selected, the response from this business was insufficient to the claim. Us selecting an insurance does not absolve the comment of responsibility for unprofessional, negligent, and increasingly careless handling during the process of our move. 

  Throughout the move, the movers did not follow professional protocols to ensure the safety of our items, and when they damaged furniture through a lack of attention or care, the response was a shrug. 

  Two Men and a Truck - Tucker have expressed that any issues that occurred during the move are regrettable but not their problem, since we selected a specific level of insurance. In our view that does not absolve them of the responsibility of remedying the extensive damage done to our household materials through the sheer negligence and unprofessional conduct of their staff.

  When we select insurance for a service like moving, we still expect our furniture to be handled and cared for by professionals, which is not the service that we received.

  
  Sincerely,

  We are saddened to hear that **************** is not satisfied with our reply.  To be *****, we as a business do not sell insurance nor do we claim to be an insurance broker.  The customer opted for valuation, which is the carrier's level of liability at the outset of service.  The reference to "insurance" is erroneous at best and the Company has acted in accordance with the contract that was executed by both parties and in accordance with our level of liability.

  We regret that the service did not take place without incident but it has been resolved in a manner that is consistent with the executed contract.  The matter is closed and we continue to wish **************** the very best in his new home.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Thank you for the response. We do not want to dispute the fact that they executed the contract as written. Our complaint stems from the fact that as "Movers Who ****** our items were treated with no care. We hired a professional company and expected a professional level of service, which is far from what we received. 

  The company adhered to their contact and provided the minimum effort and reimbursement they were allowed to (per the contract), and have showed no accountability for the neglect or terrible service provided.

  
  Sincerely,

  I had two men a truck (Tucker, *******) to do my move back in 2021. Not only did they do my move but they packed my items and stored my items in their storage facility. When they delivered my items on 01/19/24, my items were damaged, had mold on them and I even found rat droppings in the boxes. In addition, I didn't sign all the moving paperwork and I saw where I was charged for the move. I went to the office on January 20th and spoke to the ops manager of the company. I have yet to hear from him as he said he needed to find the paperwork. Yet I was charged for the move and have yet to hear anything about the damages.

  Dear Mr ******* We are very sorry to hear that you had a less than perfect experience with Two Men And A Truck. We searched our records and have determined you were not our customer and we didn't preform your move or store your belongings. Unfortunately, we are unable to help in this claim because our Franchise did not preform your move. Our franchise is in ********.  Because you noted that you used the Two Men And A Truck in Tucker, **, I am including their contact information so that you can attach this complaint to the correct franchise and hopefully get it settled. The Two Men And A Truck franchise that you used in located at *************************************** Tucker, ** ***** ************. Thank you and we wish you the best.

  I am rejecting this response because this complaint was closed out months ago by the BBB due to no response from the company after numerous attempts were made. How is it now when this was closed all of sudden a response is now given. 
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Elroid Lights
