    I booked this company, Moving fellows/Portland student movers, to help me move from a 1 bedroom apartment into a 2 bedroom within the same apartment community. I was initially quoted a move time of two hours at $145 an hour. I personally moved my entire kitchen and other items that I could carry myself (so there were no boxes). The items I had for the company to move were furniture and a few misc items I didnt have time to do by myself. It was a standard amount of furniture you would expect for a 1 bedroom (bed, bed frame, dresser, 2 night stands, couch, coffee table, kitchen table, bar stools, a patio couch/chair/table). This company was slow and inefficient, took 5hrs to move my stuff with many breaks, and are trying to charge me $860. Not only were these movers very tired, but they also took many breaks and told me it wouldn't be factored into the time that I would pay, but they lied and are trying to charge me 5.8 hrs. I do also feel like I was taken advantage of because Im a single female and they saw I had nice things so they took as much time as they wanted to get more money since it was an hourly service. They also charged me an additional $38 for an appointment booking and broke my tv stand. I have sent Moving fellows multiple emails and called multiple times and I can not get ahold of anyone else besides the front desk receptionist, Lace. I left voicemails for the billing department and have received no response. I hoped a manager would call me back regarding this incident but no such luck. The response I get from Lace, is that there is no one else in the office besides her, that they are going through a lot of changes right now and are short staffed so thats why my claim is taking a long time. Only contact I have had was on offer for $40 for the tv stand, with a contract that says I legally can't complain to BBB, yelp etc and there with be no further contact regarding the incident. Its now been almost a month since this incident happened.

    PLEASE READ THIS AND THE OTHER NEGATIVE REVIEWS BEFORE DECIDING TO WORK WITH MOVING FELLOWS.I just completed a move with Moving Fellows and it was an absolute nightmare for many reasons. Firstly, the quoted $650 for the move and when it was over they charged over $1300 WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING TO ME. The move was a disaster because the movers were absolutely unqualified/not fit for the move. They were slow, unprofessional, and complained the entire time. One of the movers was completely wreckless and badly injured himself on our property. We tried to press him to seek medical attention but he declined as he other employees stated he likely didn't have insurance coverage. These "movers" were all probably between the ages of *****. MY WIFE AND I ENDED UP DOING 15%-20% OF THE MOVE OURSELVES BECAUSE IT WAS CLEAR THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO THE MOVE TIMELY THEMSELVES. They brought out a so called "manager" to finish the move when it was obviously taking too long and that man was absolutely rude and refused to talk to us or apologize for the poor service. Just ridiculous.Further, they destroyed a TV stand worth $700 while ignoring safety protocols and refused to replace it. They hauled it off, promising to submit a clam on our behalf which was a lie because we never heard from them again. I had to call repeatedly to have a claim filed. Then, they refused to respond to ANY of the issues they were clearly negligent for. Their response was a measly $120 refund with a lame letter stating they would not be responding to any further inquiries.Moving Fellows is a complete scam. They're liars, fraudsters, will overcharge you without saying anything to you. I'll be reporting my experience to the Better Business Bureau as well and directing anyone I know away from using them.DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MOVING FELLOWS. They do not deserve your business and will only make things more difficult and more expensive for you.
