No Limit Movers

DO NOT USE THEM !!!
I just used them to move on 7÷12÷2011. They quoted me around $ 250 for 1-​bd move for 3 hrs. To make the long story short:
1)They were 1.5 hours late
2)They took 6.5 hours to move — two guys took their sweet time.
3)They bubble wrapped stuff we didn’t want to wrap — cost $ 89 for wrapping 4 stuff.
4)Total cost $ 599
For 1-​BD apartment. DO NOT USE THEM. They will rip you OFF.

My experience with this company is one that I will never forget. No Limit Movers is the epitome of unprofessional business standards and practices.
THE MOVE SITUATION:
I plan to move into a home this Saturday and as part of the moving process, I needed to move things out of the new location and into storage. Now the storage facility is right down the street from the new home. I called and set up the move at least a week in advance and corresponded with the manager (JOHN) via e-​mail who verified all the details and general request. This was a small move and is nothing compared to the actual move of my things to the new house, so I found this company on craigslist and didn’t do my research on Unilocal as I am known to do before using a company.
MOVE DAY: «No Go, No Show»
The day of the move (Saturday, June 25^th) the move was scheduled for 12pm. I called the moving coordinator, JOHN in the morning to confirm and was told maybe I scheduled the move with another company because he could not find my information. After I took a deep breath and requested he find the e-​mail, he then proceeded to tell me that I messed up the date in the e-​mail — then in the same breath he said «oh no sorry my fault, everything is a go see you at noon». This was the first RED FLAG.
12pm came and went, 1pm came and went called JOHN no answer, 2pm came and went called JOHN no answer — but I left a nasty yet still lady-​like message of my unhappiness and disbelief of their lack of customer service. NO MOVERS SHOWED FOR THE MOVE. At 4pm, the moving coordinator JOHN called me apologizing profusely and blaming the mishap on his drivers phones that apparently broke (both drivers phones broke, huh?). I decided to give them another chance and also indicated that a discount on the move is warranted seeing as though this mishap has wasted my time — JOHN agreed completely. The move was them set up for Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 11am.
RESCHEDULED MOVE SAY: «SLOW, LAZY, WHINING, INDIFFERENT BEHAVIOR»
On Sunday 11 am came and went no movers. JOHN called at 12pm indicating they should be at the location shortly. I bought the movers water since it was hot out there and I knew they’d get thirsty. At 12:05 they arrived and began. I requested two movers and one of the guys was great — he worked and was very professional… the other guy, his name is RICHMOND was a PIGEON-​LIVERED, NO MANNERS HAVING, WHINY, LAZY, DESPICABLE INDIVIDUAL. I could spit in his face for the punk stuff he tried to pull. He tried to get me to sign the contract of how much they would be paid before all the items were even out of the house. When I indicated to him that I was told there would be a discount he told me, «the discount is that you got us to come out here on a Sunday», he then proceeded to tell me, «my 2yr old was crying when I left out this morning to be here for your move». I could have punched him in the mouth for using his child as a reason to whine and cry about the fact that they screwed up as a company and now a discount was in order and agreed upon. He then proceeded to tell me that «the white man aint gonna give me no discount they are just going to tell me what I want to hear.» Now while he’s running his mouth, he’s not pulling his weight as far as moving the items. I immediately called John who gave us a half an hour discount. Additionally, when I tried to explain to John about the unprofessional behavior of the mover — — he really did not care and stated, «what do you want me to do about it?» The whole ordeal was a HUGE waste of my time. The bill was paid, the items were stored and the drivers were both tipped but believe me when I tell you — PLEASE GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY!!! Their rates might be more that reasonable but their behavior and work ethic is terrible. It will make you want to cut somebody.
I can’t stress this enough… GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY!!!

I used them 3 years ago, but just ran across their card. Truly my worst moving experience ever. I was out of town for the move and a friend volunteered to handle it. They were more than an hour late. I went with them because they guy on the phone said they only hired professionals, «no students or part-​timers or day laborers — all our employees have years of experience.» They also agreed to do all of the packing.
When they arrived it turned out no one told them they were supposed to pack. They were mad and didn’t mind showing it. They hadn’t brought the requested boxes or other materials — another 2-​hour delay. It then took them more than 9 hours to pack and load a small 1-​bedroom apartment. (Previously the same amount of stuff had been packed and loaded in about 5 hours.) They seemed confused and clearly didn’t know what they were doing.
I got to the new place (just across town) the next day and started looking for my kitchen stuff to unpack. Looked in every box, and no kitchen stuff. Called my friend and he said, «Oh, I thought you knew — they ran out of time and didn’t move the kitchen» I freaked out and asked him why he gave them the check, and he said the mover told him that the manager had called me and I said it was ok. Total lie.
Then I realized that there were 10 – 12 trashbags full of my things. Apparently they just got sick of it at the end and started throwing things in trash bags — books, my Bose speakers, candles, etc. all mixed together.
I called four times and was told «The owner isn’t here right now, you’ll have to work it out with him.» Then was told the owner was on vacation for 3 weeks and no one else could help me.
I gave up. I wished I’d sued or at least taken them to small claims court but I was traveling for work a lot and didn’t have the time or patience. The people at this company don’t seem to mind lying to your face and ripping you off. Stay away. Stay far away.

Same bad experience from the management as the previous reviewer. The movers (2 guys) did a good job, were helpful and polite, and got the 1 bedroom apartment job done in 3 hours beginning to end (minus 1 hour travel time). If I were to review just the movers, I would have given them 3 stars. They even gave me a discount on the hourly rate for being late (we couldn’t get in touch with the manager so the lead mover discounted this himself). Overall paid a reasonable price including tip for the 2 movers.
Found this company on craigslist. BEWARE!
DETAILS:
NO STARS for Customer Service from the management. The movers were supposed to arrive between 12 – 2, they showed up at 4pm after multiple calls stating they would arrive in 15 minutes. They were late due to management giving them the wrong address/​booking.
Prior to the movers arriving, when I had repeatedly called the phone number on the website, the man on the other line was very rude and hardly apologized that the movers were late. Basically they stopped answering the phone after I had called several times, I eventually left a message with still no call back.
BOTTOM LINE: I would NOT recommend this company due to the management. You can really find another moving company with similar rates, AND friendly management.
