  More info

  On Dec 22, 2022 A2B moving and storage moved a piano for my renter. In the process they damaged the siding on my house. Since then the renter began reaching out to them in an attempt to get my house fixed. He gave them my info since I am the home owner. The first time thr company actually talked to me directly was not until April 12, 2023 despite me trying to reach out to them. It is now May 10 and I still have no resolution and my siding is still broken. The person from the claims department has been incredibly rude to me throughout this process and seems to have no interest in actually helping me get a solution. Lastly, their website says they are BBB accredited but the BBB website clearly states they are Not accredited.

  ************************* is not our customer. Our company did not have a contract with, nor conduct any business transaction with the complainant *************************. The contract and move referred to in the complaint was with a gentleman named *****************************. Per the contract with ********************, our liability for any damages occurring during the moving process is limited to $.60 per pound based on the item being moved. ******************* has not filed a claim for damages with our claims department. If he wishes to do so, he can go directly to our website www.a2bmovingandstorage.com under the "resources" and file the claim.

   Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  I have been in correspondence with the claims department because ****** is a renter and has moved out. He filed a complaint and then passed it on to me since it is my house. Also according to vdot, there is a difference between property damage and cargo damage. Cargo damage is covered 60 cents per pound for material, but property damage is covered by the Movers policy for damage caused by the Movers actions. Therefore the damage to my house (property) is covered according to the Virginia department of transportation. 

  The claims department was in contact with me and then stopped giving me any kind of info or updates so I know that a complaint has been filed. 

  Regards,

  According to our claims manager, even though we have no formal contract with her, the complainant was offer a settlement of $200.00. In order to resolve the matter amicably, we would increase that offer to $300.00 conditional upon receiving a signed release from the complainant.

  On February 18th, **. ***** at A2B Moving and Storage whom seemingly feels very comfortable in his position of business of authority at A2B Moving and Storage where I experienced everything must be processed by him, nothing is delegated to the other A2B Moving and Storage staffers. Nonetheless, I got the bombshell dropped on me when I shared I would not be using A2B Moving and Storage to moving out my personal belongings. **. ****** then firmly stated unbeknownst to me, not once had he mentioned it days prior when we spoke that he charges a "hidden" labor fee to get the cubes down for my move-out that's coming up on Saturday, February 25th. I learned this on Feb. 18th, in the phone call **. ***** states, "the fee is included if we do the move for you but since you have your own movers there's a fee to get the cubes down and opened up to move-out your..." I find business scrutiny that at least this needs to be communicated to consumers well in advanced when I spoke with **. ***** three days ago and requested a written e-mail itemize cost which I never received. Here, **. ****** springs "hidden fees" of $50 which needs to be pronounced and communicated to the consumer well in advance. This is not good business practices.

  Tell us why here...

  ***************** is actually not a direct customer of A2B Moving and Storage. We were contracted by the City of ********** Department of Community and Human Services to pick up his belongings and bring them to storage. He was being evicted from his residence and applied for assistance through a government program paid for with grant funding. All billing and correspondence are done through Case Workers at the Department of Community and Human Services for the City of **********. All moving and storage costs up to this point have been billed to the City of **********. *** ******* contacted our facility directly to make arrangements to pick up his items and spoke with our Move Coordinator ***** ****. It was clearly explained to him on multiple occasions that the City of ********** would pay for any bills agreed to within our contract with them, and that he would be responsible for any charges outside of that agreement. Since he was wanting to pick up the items himself versus having them delivered per the contract, he was informed that he may be responsible for loading he items from storage into his truck since this was no part of our contract with City of **********. We are still waiting on clarification for this from City of ********** and will charge him appropriately based on their response. 
  
  I would like to add that from the first point of contact *** ******* has been confrontational. He has been threatening in tone and overly aggressive when speaking with our office staff here. I personally witness his hostility toward one of our dispatchers ***** ****** when he came to pick up his items Saturday February 25th 2023.  Including a racially charged remark caught on camera in our dispatch office toward him when he was simply asked to have a seat in the lobby while his items we being prepared for loading. 
  
  At this point in time *** ******* has not paid our company anything and the only services performed in question was having his storage vaults pulled down by our forklift and opened so he could load up his items. This would be a simple $50.00 fee for the forklift operation. The obligation for this service is currently being determined by City Of ********** Department of Community and Human Services.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  For the record, tell me what the state of a consumer situation bears no relevance to the subject matter at hand. If ***** thought throwing slants and harassing a consumer is it. By all means, *****, demonstrates exactly the points I initially made with reference to A2B Moving and Storage. At the time I filed the BBB, *****, is a very unprofessional, confrontational, and impractical business practices that he subtly included during the last phone conversation that they were looking for me to fork them a hidden fee of $50 for their lift. I will NOT ever pay this underperforming impractical business a dime.
  

  Since it was delayed via BBB in A2B Moving and Storage receiving my complaint, I would never do business with ***** A2B Moving and Storage in the future. They place your belongings inside wooden vaults and they (*****) have very poor customer service experience. I share this experience with everyone I know. So long, very glad to be far removed from A2B Moving and Storage.
