Elite Relocation

First the good and there’s not much. The movers themselves did a good job and didn’t break anything.
Now the not so good. I received a quote for a «flat rate» move that would be billed hourly and my final bill was more than $ 300 above the estimate. They arrived in the alloted time but the fuel surcharge which was estimated at $ 75.00 would up being 15% of the total bill! I never heard of such a thing. And then there were other hidden charges, so a $ 760 move ended up costing over $ 1100.
But the part that really ticked me off was that our driver wouldn’t take a check, ok fine. So I asked if we could pay with a credit card and I was told there was a $ 47.00 fee for paying with a credit card. What?! When they took my $ 100 deposit over the phone from the same credit card there was no $ 47.00 fee. No fee at all. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
So the driver wanted cash or I pay the $ 47.00 fee to use my credit card. I regularly don’t carry over $ 1100 in cash on me, most people don’t. So due to the fact that we were just moving in we had to make several ATM withdrawls from 3 different accounts (daily cash withdrawl limits wouldn’t let us take over $ 1100.00 from one account) and would up paying all the ATM service fees on top of it.
Hidden costs, highly suspect «credit card» fee? Avoid them.
