I requested a dolly for 1 person to put up my window blinds. The person Dolly said was going to come never showed up and Dolly ended up charging me $100. I have cameras around the property recording 24/7. There was no one showing up to the door, nor did anyone call etc. I emailed Dolly and called them many times but no one answers or replies. I need my refund and I will never ever use this crappy service again.Business response

Hello, we apologize for the troubles with scheduling your Dolly. Though we promote all Dollys as much as possible and personally reach out to Helper teams in your area, the fulfillment of your Dolly is dependent on our Helpers finding your job appealing and bidding on your job.Though we promote all Dollys as much as possible and personally reach out to Helper teams in your area, the fulfillment of your Dolly is dependent on our Helpers finding your job appealing and bidding on your job. We're so sorry that we were unable to connect you with a team to carry out this job. We want to also clarify that the amount on your account is only a hold and you were not officially charged for your Dolly. Charges are only processed once a Dolly has been marked as completed as this verifies that a service was rendered. With all this being said, we have noted that one of our agents had released the hold on your account on March 31st upon your request and the funds should be back in your account! Please feel free to reach out if you have any lingering concerns.Initial Complaint

This is a complaint about the moving service known as Dolly. I requested service on Tuesday, March 29th and paid $107. My request was accepted by the mover Marceo and service was scheduled for Thursday, March 31st. On the day of service, the Dolly mover cancelled me because his truck was broken. On March 31st, I requested a refund from Dolly. They acknowledged receiving my request, but have not gotten back to me. Their business practices are suspicious and they are not accountable.

I purchased a washer dryer unit from best buy and paid for delivery. Best buy hired dolly *** to deliver my unit. When the two delivery guys showed up they said o you have three little stairs leading to the front door and we didn't bring our hand truck and you have to pay extra for the stairs. So I told them best buy never told me that and they were upset. So I told them they could go through the garage but there were still three little stairs. As there were trying to bring in the unit they mad a lot of damage to the unit and when I showed them the damage thay said it was my fault. So I told them I don't want the severely damaged unit. They told me that are not taking it back and start getting violent and mad and calling me names like your just a fuc...g frog and then I told them I'm calling the police because it was getting to the point were I thought this guy was going to fight with me. So the delivery guy jumped in his truck and almost ran me over just to pull out of my driveway and park in front of my house. So the cops came and mad a police report and made them leave off of my property. This was so unprofessional I can't even believe this happened. My kids were in the house crying because they thought there father was going to get beaten by these two big African Americans. So they left the damaged unit in my driveway and were escorted off my property by the police. This has to be justified. These people are scary and dangerous. I can't let this happen to anyone else. I'm willing to do whatever I have to in order to insure no one gets hurt from this company. Please help. ThanksBusiness response

Scheduled delivery which was immediately picked up by a deliverer. Then the delivered cancelled. When new deliverer picked up they went the wrong day then tried to rescheduled. Then on the day of delivery day they asked to change again. Dolly offered zero support for serious inconvenience. Very difficult to reach a live person. Seems like a scamBusiness response

Hello, thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. We are so sorry for the lack of communication here in regards to this Dolly. We understand that you had a wonderful experience with your Helper that day and we are ecstatic to hear about your satisfaction there in regards to your move. However the inconvenience of rescheduling and delayed support from our team is absolutely a review we will take into consideration while we develop out our customer experience further. Our Escalations Team will be in touch shorty to further comments in regards to your experience here. Thank you.Initial Complaint

I booked a move with a Dolly Helper for 11/06. My requested start time was 8am. My Dolly helper showed up 2hr and 45min late. Then they started moving my furniture but did not finish. The helper marked my job as complete before they moved major items of furniture such as my couch and TV ect. I called Dolly and pleaded with them to send the helper back and finish the job but they didn't send them back. Nor did a supervisor ever call me back to try to resolve or issue the credit that I was promised. IBusiness response

Hello, we apologize for the delay in addressing your concern. As of this morning, we have refunded 75% of your Dolly order as the rest goes towards the time and effort the Helpers had given that day. That being said, we have also put these Helpers under review for the behavior exhibited during this Dolly. The service provided is by no means how we envision the customer experience to be and apologize for failing on that front. For the inconveniences caused, we have added a credit of $30 to your account for future use. We hope to service you in the future and provide an excellent experience.Customer response

Dolly did not provide services and charged me 50% of the move in fee because they were unable to find a parking spot. I tried to cancel but they refused to honor the cancellation of 20% being that they said they were in the middle of providing a service. All of my stuff is still in my apartment. What service was provided to me?SCAMBusiness response

Hello, we apologize for the lack of clarity of our cancellation policies. In the event that your Dolly has started, and/or your Helper(s) have arrived at the first location and cannot complete your Dolly due to cancellation, rescheduling, or any reasons outside of their control, a 50% cancellation fee is applied. This is outlined here in our cancellation policy: https://dolly.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046107331-What-is-Dolly-s-cancellation-policy-. Since there was no available parking at the location in order for the Helper team to load items from your apartment on to their truck, the 50% cancellation fee was applied. This fee goes directly to the Helper's for their time and effort they took in preparation for the job and traveling to the job site. We thank you for your understanding.Customer response

Our office flooded which caused us to have to vacate our building with 9 days notice. Dollys helpers arrived late on the date of service (10/14/21). Upon arrival, the helper informs me that he cannot find parking for his large box truck in the area (we are downtown). He then proceeds to drive away as Im in tears begging him to fulfill the commitment and move our office. To add insult to injury, Dolly then CHARGES me for the service anyway and tells me there is nothing they can do to help or reverse the charge. This company is a total scam with THE WORST customer service ever!Business response

Hello, we are so sorry for the experience you had during this Dolly and understand this must have been an incredibly frustrating process to organize. However, after reviewing the phone calls and messages between all parties, you had confirmed with our agent that, if this [Dolly] can not happen today, then I need to cancel it. You had confirmed with the agent that this would be the means of action during a call on Oct 14th at 11:16am. This was said during a conversation about a potential need to reschedule in order to assign a vehicle that would be able to fit your needs better as there was no available parking for the Helper team near by your facility for the vehicle type chosen. You had stated that you had rented another vehicle and had friends on site to assist with this move instead as the Helpers were having trouble locating parking. Per these records as well, at 11:37am, the Helpers had already begun loading boxes onto the truck as the cancellation was being finalized. As the job was in progress, it was cancelled with a 50% cancelation fee to your account in order to compensate the Helpers that were on site that day for their time and effort. This cancellation policy can be found here in our customer knowledge base: https://**********************************/hc/en-us/articles/360046107331-What-is-Dolly-s-cancellation-policy-. We understand this is not the ideal resolution and we deeply apologize for the inconveniences that are attached with this, however we must comply with our policy in order to compensate the Helpers for the work done that day and inconvenience on their end due to the cancellation.
