- Complaint Type:
- Order Issues
- Status:
- Resolved
In July we contracted with Merchant Moving to move our residential items from ***** ***** to ************ *******. We utilized the Atlas Assured Price Protection Program which is a binding total charge estimated on weight. Which means regardless of actual weight, the surplus weight cannot be charged to you. Our actual weight turned out to be higher than the total binding weight. In *****, the moving packers took apart our ************************************************** the moving truck. I was told that once delivered in ************ the furniture would be put back together. When we arrived in ************ we were informed the furniture would not be put back together since it was being delivered to a storage facility. When I expressed my concerns to the coordinator about not having the furniture put back together she apologized for not explaining what happens when you move from a house into a storage facility. The coordinator then offered to have someone or reimburse us the cost for someone to put the furniture they delivered back together. However after we did not agree to pay for the additional weight or spilt the cost of the additional weight she informed me they would not pay to have someone put the furniture back together. The coordinator committed to paying for our furniture to be put back together and it was not conditional on us paying more than the binding agreement. Thus we want to be reimbursed the cost of putting the furniture back together.
