Moving Solutions Van Lines

INCOMPETENT SCAM COMPANY--DO NOT HIRE!!!
This company transported my elderly father's belongings from Maine to Florida. They were contracted by Ocean Ridge Van Lines (a/k/a Pinto's Moving & Storage) and were supposed to deliver by 8/29/2021. When they arrived for pick up on 8/25/2021, they increased the price by $3,300 and forced my father to pay $600 for overtime. They also failed to take all the boxes, which is now lost property. After nearly a month of unanswered phone calls, they finally revealed that they had put the household goods in storage in New Jersey and were waiting to get it loaded onto a truck headed south. When the driver finally arrived, later than the revised ETA, he demanded cash or a post office money order for the balance, or else, they wouldn't unload the truck. His reasoning was that they had so many unhappy customers that were refusing to pay and were cancelling their personal checks or credit cards. The original moving estimate to transport my father’s household goods from Maine to Florida was for $5,553.28. The final cost was $9,657.07. To make things worse, nearly everything that arrived was damaged; many irreplaceable cherished artwork and momentos. NOTE It looks like they created a new front business called Great Guys Moving in 2021. BEWARE!!!
