I was given a written agreement for a certain price to transfer my belongings the day before the move was scheduled to take place. The first $221 contribution was also zelled from my account. The final tally was $521. Upon completion of loading the truck on moving day, the movers waited inside for three hours before calling to inform me of the new amount of $3688.August 30, 2026Unprompted reviewUsefulShare

overcharged . damaged . hostage . stolen . unprofessional . baitswitch
Hired Menards to move from California to Texas with storage until finding a place to live. Menards lost almost half of belongings. Items that were received were damaged and all boxes had been opened and gone through. Charged triple the original estimate. Once move started, could only pay cash (not disclosed upfront). Menards does not return calls, emails, or messages. Had consumer file claims with two insurance companies. One no longer covered Menards. The other denied because Menards did not have correct paperwork ("it was lost"). Consumer has been dealing with this for 16 months with no resolution. Approximately $7,000 in lost items. All boxes opened and searched. Broken items throughout.

overcharged . hostage . unprofessional . baitswitch
Hired Menards Moving (broker) for binding estimate of $4,924 for ND to OH move. Estimate increased without justification before pickup after claiming more space needed, despite consumer having far less. Carrier Immaculate Moving loaded only a portion of belongings. Approximately 295 cubic feet loaded but charged for 919 cubic feet. Paid $6,989 total. Driver Amer Mousa collected cash at pickup. At delivery, carrier demanded additional money before unloading. Medically necessary items for autistic three-year-old son withheld. Consumer disputes accuracy of Bill of Lading and has evidence electronic signature was not properly obtained. Has extensive documentation including photographs, inventory measurements, estimates, payment records, emails, texts, and recordings. Filed complaints with FMCSA and other agencies. Menards and Immaculate Moving shift responsibility to each other instead of addressing overcharges.

Menards gave move to a company (Loyal Moving and Storage) that lost their license 22 days after picking up belongings. Cubic footage quote did not match actual items. Consumer refused to pay more and exchanged big items for smaller ones. Currently hostage load status. Mr. Menard Jr. (owner) promised 3 weeks ago to get belongings back ASAP if consumer removed negative Facebook posts. Consumer removed them and still does not have belongings. Office staff described as rude and condescending.

Hired Menards not knowing they were a broker. They hired Immaculate Movers with a foreman of Shay Levi. When they finally delivered our items, approximately 1/3 was held back due to lack of space. It has been over a month now and they refuse to tell us where our belongings are or when/if they will arrive. Both Menards and Immaculate have been nonresponsive until we involved FMCSA.

Low quote by FL broker -> large deposit ($1,400-$3,000) -> subcontract to LoadRans or similar CA carrier -> price doubled or tripled at pickup -> belongings held hostage in public storage under carrier's name -> cash/Zelle/money order demanded before unloading -> damaged and missing items -> boilerplate BBB response
Estimated scope: Likely thousands based on 750+ BBB complaints alone. Coastal Moving Services has 316 complaints in 3 years and 1,377 BBB reviews.
