Unique Moving and Storage Charged me more than $9000 to move clothes and a few personal iyems from 341 swuare goot condo and about 10 packed bixes from storage init. Columbus, Ohio Internet
Plymouth Relocation Services set up this mover to move clothes, 2 bicycles, and a few personal items from a 341 sq foot furnished condo that was to be put on a rental program as well as approximately 10 boxes from a nearby storage unit. Plymouth Relocation was informed kf what was to be shipped and asked to ensure oricing was correct every step of the way because I wanted no surprises. Movers came late in a rented U-Haul truck and started flinging evertying in a big box, including a Kosta Boda vase, jewelry boxes, books, clothes, and items that I indicated were to stay because condo was furnished and on a rental program. They paid no attention. I was quoted a orice of around $2000 from Plymouth. I was presented with a bill for $9000. I told them anout Plymouth's estimate but was told it didn't matter. If I wanted items moved, that was the charge. I said I would nit oay it and was told all my belongings would be thrown in osrking lot or taken to warehouse and I would be billed more money for storage. Since I was keaving the condo in two days and it eas to be rented, I wrote a check. I never heard from the moving company again and could get no info on where my items were so I stopped payment on the check; called the company; and asked to have my items delivered fior a reasonsble price. Was told that $9000 was reasonable for a 341 sq foot condo. I indicated entire houses can be shipped for $2,400 and was told that didn't matter.
When I indicated that the paoerwork wasn't filled out oroperly with a list of items but just "Box 1, Box 2, etc, I was told that didn't matter either. No one was responsive. I told them that I could not oay $9000 for the moving fee and only signed because it was very late and I needed to move the next day. The movets wanted a check, which I gave them and then stopped payment the next day. But I did call the company to tell them that I stopped payment because the anount was about 5 times what I was quoted and I had to be out if the condo in two days. I asked for my clothes and other items to be delivered to me for the original price and was told that they didn't have my items and did not know where they were. I have moved with only several dresses and none of my other belongings taken by Unique. Unique says they don't know where they are but other times they do if I agree to pay $9000. It is a nightmare from which I hope I can recover and regain possession of my items.
