Menards Moving & Storage
Consumer Reports Submitted to Trunk (3)
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.

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.

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.
