  Our SmartBox driver did pick up all 4 boxes by mistake. We called Tuesday morning after the holiday to try to make it right and bring the 2 boxes back, that ********************** asked us to leave behind when we came to pick up the 2 full boxes. ********************** shared that he had already left the residence and "made things work".  We have offered to refund the $140.00 for ( 1 month fee for 2 )  , for the 2 boxes that were only partially filled and currently in our storage facility. We will credit an additional box for a total of $210.00 for 3 boxes as a good-will gesture for the inconveniences. we apologize for the error and appreciate the business from **********************.

   I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Yeah my dispute with smart Box is because they took 2 of my 4 boxes that I specifically told them to leave at my house because they weren't full they weren't full the lady at corporate that I talked to that took the order did many many notations on the work orders and so on 4th many notations do not take the boxes and for the driver to call me which none of the requirements and notations were red or met they completely failed me and I had to leave behind about 9 or 10 grand worth of stuff because they did that and it was going into a holiday weekend Friday afternoon on memorial weekend I had to be out of there Sunday locks were getting changed Monday morning Memorial Day smart Box said they couldn't do anything about bringing them back until Tuesday which wasn't helping me I tried to rent something but because everybody told me there is a lot of people moving and the holiday weekend that everything was booked so there was nothing I could do about it if they didn't take those 2 boxes I would have my stuff right now I don't think it's fair that I should only get accommodated $200 from them for losing about 9:10 grand worth of stuff I think that's completely unfair everybody's told me I should get the whole amount for 2 and a 1/2 months for free I was willing to negotiate anegotiate and split the cost **** whatever the total cost is And July when I'm not using the boxes anymore or I think that's fair considering what I lost $200 for them is a slap in the face to me

  We have tried to resolve by refunding a portion of his storage fees ( around $300 dollars ) We will not be compensating for goods that customer decided to throw away or give away, due to the driver mistakenly picking up 2 partially full boxes that customer had asked we leave behind for the weekend.
