  More info

  I hired Troys Movers to move some furniture and a few boxes from 1 level to the next in an apartment building. The building has an elevator. The movers were unfriendly and unmotivated from the start. It was a 2 hour job that turned into 3 hours because the movers took multiple breaks and went out to their truck many more times. The movers were extremely slow and they even broke a piece of my furniture. It took 2 weeks for the owner to come to a resolution. The resolution was to glue the furniture. I stated that I didnt believe that would work and the owner patronized me basically saying I didnt know anything. I asked if he could refund me an hour of the supposed moving fee and he laughed at me. The owner also sneaks in a $20 fuel surcharge which I do not understand as a truck wasnt even needed for my move. The owner is very rude and condescending.

  The owner is clearly very unprofessional and doesn't tell the truth.  Nothing in his reply was accurate, as there is security footage to show his movers incompetence moving furniture just 3 units away.

  This owner is not telling the truth.  I never declined a professional to fix my furniture.  All the owner offered was to come glue it himself and when I questioned that he said he wasnt going to fix it.  At this point, I dont want this man stepping foot in my home again as hes hostile and arrogant.  Id like a professional to fix the furniture his movers broke, plus the extra hour they overcharged me for his workers doing nothing and the price gouging fuel surcharge.  The owner is also not telling the truth regarding the distance between units.  The units are literally only 3 doors away from each other and he even stated himself how close they were together.  The elevator was also available the entire time for the movers and they had exclusive use.
  
  
  Ive never experienced such an unprofessional and rude business owner in my life.  Hes very disrespectful to women and is extremely condescending.  Not fair to be taking out the incompetency of his movers on customers.  Clearly by this companies online reviews, Im not the first person to feel this way.  The way he argues with a customer here in this complaint speaks for itself.
