Business ProfileforCall My Mover

On February 29th 2024, Call My Mover came to my home to give an estimate for my upcoming move. I had other companies come and give a quote as well, and they all quoted a similar price- around $2000, but Call My Mover was the lowest of the bids I got so I went with them. On my move date, April 13th, once my stuff was loaded on the truck, they called to say there was more stuff than they had estimated and changed the price to $7000. Additionally, my original quote had been for the whole move, and this new quote was for just the first half of the move, and they would not tell me how much it would cost to unload. It took lots of begging and crying on the phone for them to lower the price to $5000 (all the money I had) for the first half and to get them to commit to $3000 (and put in writing that they would not change that price) for the second half of the move. I paid a total of $8000 for what multiple companies had agreed would be a $2000 move. My family said I should just walk away from the stuff- the price they were quoting was more than all my stuff was worth put together. But that stuff included things like my kids drawings, my grandmother's quilts, my childhood treasures, my kids favorite toys, my birth certificate, my annotated books from graduate school. They knew they had me in a corner. They are predatory. They are unethical. Additionally, they claimed to have "lost" my bookshelf, then claimed they actually "broke" my bookshelf and that they were fixing it, but they have still not returned it.At the very least I need them to return my bookshelf immediately, and I also feel strongly that they should refund a portion of the moving costs to me. If they do not I am considering taking them to small claims court.
