“PCS from CO to AZ and the moving company didn’t want to go over all the paperwork with me. He said, “I don’t need your signature” and drove off with a lot of our high value items like paintings, vases from Korea, Korean and Chinese antique furniture, our TVs, etc. I had police, TMO, and quality management at our house, waiting for him to return. Really sucked for him because he claimed to have taken some of our furniture but all of that furniture was still in the house. Should have gone over the paperwork with me before driving off. “

“Our first move the manager had to come because they were short staffed. In a really weird twist of fate he knew my best friend’s mom, they had worked together years and years ago. Best move we ever had, they were so careful with everything and nothing was broken.”

“PCSed from Little Rock to Eglin end of February/ beginning of March 2014. Husband went to San Antonio for 2 weeks training en-route to Eglin. The kids and I (10 and 2 at the time) were headed to stay with my mom, she lived about an hour from us during that time. Everything was a mess! Orders took forever to receive. Scheduled TMO a week before we were supposed to be out of our rental. They packed us on a Friday. We got everyone ready and went to my mom’s. Hubby left from there on Saturday morning. I was supposed to head back Monday morning to our rental to meet the truck to pick up all our HHGS while the kids stayed with my mom. Sunday morning, they started forecasting snow and ice. I’m from AR so I didn’t think it would be more than a couple of inches at worst but the whole state shuts down for a dusting because they don’t plow or prep the roads so I left that afternoon to sleep in our packed-up house with literally no supplies since we weren’t supposed to be there anymore. It was a record breaking storm. Something like 8-9 inches of snow. I “camped” in my house among all our boxes of stuff for 4 days. The moving company told me they would not move a single thing unless the driveway and walkways were clear of snow. I bought a shovel and salt and shoveled our huge driveway that could fit 6 cars comfortably. I had never been so happy to be going to Florida. But! Florida was an adventure all its own. It rained 26 inches in 48 hours during our first month there and the whole place tried to break off into the ocean. Alligators in people’s backyards. Palmetto bugs (flying roaches) Snakes everywhere displaced from the rain. All highways flooded for entering or exiting our area. I looked at my husband while our backyard was flooding and inching closer to our back door and asked him where in the actual heck did his job move us? It’s never boring! “
