World Moving Scam Company Big Hidden Charges $2000 has been a horrible company to deal with. For a cross country move, Shleppers' packers "packed" an antique crystal family heirloom by putting a blanket on the bottom of a box that was too small for the item, and just dropping it in and putting another large heavy item in the same box. Needless to say, both items were destroyed. They never mentioned or even offered the extra moving insurance (provided by a third party) - the moving insurance is cheap! for an extra $150 i don't know anyone who wouldn't purchase it! Had we known it was an option we would ABSOLUTELY have purchased it. If you don't buy the insurance, your sure-to-be-broken and sure-to-be-expensive item will only be worth SIXTY CENTS PER POUND OF THE ITEM. Your grandfather's autographed Jackie Robinson baseball was "lost" during the move? Without 3rd party insurance SHLEPPERS would probably give you SIXTY CENTS.After months and months of emailing and calling was met mostly with silence; their customer service people (who seem nice, but completely ineffective, are apparently they are TRAINED to IGNORE unhappy customers for MONTHS AT A TIME) promise a response "later today." "Later Today" is actually anytime someone gets around to it. They do NOT care about their customers, their customers' belongings, or fulfilling their responsibility when their employees do a poor job (which, I'm finding out now, is most of the time).
