EREricUS•1 reviewAug 2, 2022Trash companyDo not trust any five star in the comment. The company is completely garbage. Almost all my items are damaged. They are only friendly to you before delivery. After they took your items, you wouldn't heard from them. They ignore your message, hang up and call back your phone call. Also, they even gave me a false claims number. Oh yeah, my delivery fee when upAugust 2, 2022Unprompted reviewUseful1Share

ELELAINE US•2 reviewsApr 20, 2022DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANYDO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. Same story as everyone else: paid my deposit then canceled as my "gut" told me something not right. Received email that my refund approved 11/3/21....now April 2022 and have not received my refund. Made several phone calls during this time. Last on 11/30/21 was told refund would be sent by Jan 31 2022. Now when I call I am on "eternal" hold..no one answers.April 20, 2022Unprompted reviewUseful1Share
LELenaUS•3 reviewsApr 14, 2022Fraudulent companyFraudulent company. Believe all the negative reviews. I paid a $1300 deposit for movers after my mom died. They never showed up. They agreed to refund me. At first they said 3 weeks this was Sept. Then they said January. And now they are saying when their legal department clears whatever issue they are having. They send me emails saying they will refund me after I call but I've gotten nothing. I've been waiting over 8 months at this point.April 1

NINinaUS•2 reviewsMar 24, 2022THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLETHIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT USE. They are a BROKER not a mover - and due to repeat FRAUD they have lost their brokers license.

EBEdward BrungardUS•1 reviewJan 6, 2022FRAUD!!!FRAUD!!!! 100% a SCAM! My parents paid half of their $2400.00 up front to these crooks. They wouldn’t provide any information on the actual moving company showing up until they were there. Even then they did their best to make it sound like the truck that showed up was a reputable moving company out of New Jersey, “Falcon”. After I researched their BU# and their MC# I found that yes the company is “Falcon”, however not the Falcon they led my parents
IFIan FrederickUS•1 reviewDec 29, 2021This company is a scam. Do not give them money.DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY! It is a scam. We asked for an estimate and paid an up front cost of $3,543. After we received the estimate, we found another moving company that would be able to do it sooner for the same price, so we cancelled our contract with Gold standard moving and storage. We were well within the 10 day refund period and should have had that deposit refunded. We received an email that said "
CCchristi cessnaUS•1 reviewNov 30, 2021Fraudulent company.They are brokers and do not identify as such. Paul gave me a lovely quote and after the three day window closes to cancel without penalty, his email and phone will stop working. So now that you’re sucked in, Frederick will call you three days prior to the move to suggest you reserve more cubic feet. He will assure you that you will not be charged for cubic feet that you do not use and that this was just to reserve space on the truck so y

Couldn't use a credit card. Had to be an instant withdrawal from a checking account. THEY canceled the move, and issued a refund on October 4, 2021. With no explanation of why, they say it takes four to six week to refund the deposit for a move that THEY canceled. It's been seven weeks now, and still no

Claimed to be a removal company and sent me a quote then the next day added $4000 to the quote. Then said they needed $3000 deposit from my bank account and $1200 credit card to secure the booking.

We just had our experience with them a few days ago. Yes, they are a broker so they sell the contract to another company that upon arrival charge you way more than you were quoted. They are unprofessional and a rip off. The agent that spoke with us, Andrew Hill, sounded very professional on the phone making it look l
