    DO NOT HIRE THE LOCAL TWO MEN AND A TRUCK FRANCHISE!

    They quoted me $600 and then wouldn't unload my truck until I paid them $1000

    I just cried...and paid them the $1000. Then I tried to complain and essentially got nowhere.

    Did you use a different mover, Jah?

    should have told them to take it back and unload it. did you not get it in writing? a verbal contract is your word against theirs. That sucks kag.

    they are a member of BBB so you should file a complaint.

    This was my last move - pre-JAH

    Our movers this time are ourselves, with help from Jon's extremely nice family who live in Knoxville.

    Quince, if I can help you in any way with the move, let me know.

    they have 10 complaints in the last 36 months. so your word would be probably accepted over theirs.
