Genise Deal

Dec 10, 2021 Report

He was very late. Did not finish the job and was trying to evade responsibility. I am a very dissatisfied customer and he didnt care at all. Left in the middle of the job because he had something very important to do and didnt not come back in the time frame he said he would. And he insist that I pay him full price for a job not finished and that was late! Pushed all my errands back and even when I tried to be accommodating would not come back to finish his job. Im very unpleased and also feel like its interesting that he wants to text until there is a problem. Then he calls

I've had two experiences with Ben and his crew and both have been very positive. The whole process of setting up an appointment is very simple and they are pros at dealing with complicated IKEA furniture, South Philly parking wars, etc. Really took a lot of the hassle out of a stressful solo move. Prices seem competitive too. Would recommend these guys to anyone

STAY FAR AWAY!!! HE SHOWED UP 4 hours late!!! He didn't call me to let me know he was going to be late. HE DIDN'T ANSWER MY CALL AND ONLY RESPONDED THROUGH TEXTS. He moved my things and then argued with me about only wanting to pay him the rate he quoted me, $630. With the initial $100 deposit, I still owed him $530. When I paid him the money he got nasty with me and was just rude and unprofessional. He said I tried to shortchange him when I gave him the rest of the money I thought I owed. I told him I didn't think it was fair to charge me anything additional due to the inconvenience of having

Broke 2 of my TVs. After that didn't want to replace UT because he said it goes it weight. Scratched my marble table and glass table
Worse company ever. I was better off getting someone with not too my stars. This Man's company is not good at all and would not recommend to anyone

I have unfortunately had to move twice in the past 6 months, but both times, we used Ben and his crew, and I wouldn't want to move without them. Ben and his team are consumate professionals and clearly know what they are doing. On this second move, I gave short notice and he was still able to find a time for me. They were able to navigate big pieces of furniture through small areas and carry multiple boxes at once to maximize efficiency. All furniture and boxes were also clearly cared for. I've used other movers before, but there is a clear difference between them and Ben the Mover Guy

We've used these guys twice and both moves were amazing. We originally found out about them from friends who moved from West Philly to Germantown. Before we found Ben's company, we used other moving companies that 1. broke things, 2. damaged walls, and 3. sent over people who were clearly unable/unused to working as a team. Quick note: I'm a wood worker and build/customize a lot of our furniture. Our pieces have more value to us because of how much time and energy I devote to them. They're also usually heavy as hell because they're solid wood. Whenever I choose a moving
