209 items were picked up in W. Phx and delivered to a local storage when 203 items were delivered in central S Carolina. I would greatly appreciate their finding at least some of the items they lost.
Morgan K., Yelp
After paying for insurance for our move, upon delivery we discovered our bookcase was busted. We immediately showed it to the driver and filed a claim, but his paperwork was not completed correctly and our claim was denied.

We were informed they wouldn't be able to deliver everything until 7/26, 11 days after the end of the original delivery window.
