BAIT & SWITCH – Solomon and Sons Relocations Services Standard Business Practice
DO NOT USE THIS MOVER!!!! Solomon and Sons overcharged me for my move and have maintained throughout the entire exchange that they believe the charges to be entirely accurate without offering any explanation. Overcharge details (based on actual inventory and measurements) - Cubic Feet Cost – over by $2,932.01; Packing Cost – over by $1,559; 15% Fuel surcharge – over by $439.79 less = TOTAL OVERCHARGE: $4,491.01 - 2 other moving company estimates using the same inventory, overpayment was ~$7,000. Received quote on 8/28/2023. I relied on salesperson to help estimate boxes needed while on FaceTime. He recommended 65 medium boxes but said they will only charge for is used. An experienced salesperson would have included a variety of boxes (some fragile). He did not mention fragile objects at all. Movers arrive at 12:00 PM on 11/10/23 and didn't leave until 1:30 AM. They spilled a can of wood stain all over the floor of my garage tried to hide it with boxes, the cops showed up 11:30 PM, there was a 66% increase in charges (the mover said all boxes were fragile packs), they were 5 days over the expected delivery date and the treatment I received when trying to discuss the costs with S&S has been awful. They basically trapped me into using them and jacked up the cost leaving me stuck. I thought they would only charge for what they used and actual cubic feet, but that incorrect. They low-balled the estimate and intentionally left off packing material that they knew would increase the cost so that I would agree to move forward. I believe the driver incorrectly charged for packing material not used and cubic feet that didn’t exist. I mean unless the driver and his helper have no idea how to pack a truck and the real policy is to make items take up as much space as possible and then charge the customer for that space. They do not follow their own policies regarding cubic feet and packing material & say charges are accurate. I think they saw a single woman and decided to overcharge me. They maintain that I was not overcharged. I clearly disagree. So, here we are. My honest review of the Solomon and Sons Relocation Services is that they are not honest. They do not follow their own policies regarding cubic feet and packing material. They likely saw a single woman and figured I would just pay whatever they said with no questions asked because well, I don’t know anything really, do I? Good luck to everyone in finding a mover who will not rip you off, but don’t pick this one.
At all costs, avoid!!
This organization is the biggest con. They ask you to sign for the delivery and tell you that you have nine months to submit a claim, but once you do, they tell you that you agreed that all of your belongings were there at the time of delivery. Employees that are absolutely unprofessional and whom I would avoid at all costs!! The biggest deception. They misplaced items and refused to compensate us for them.
NIGHTMARE!!!
Another post correctly states that they do not move you but hire sub-standard 3rd. Party "movers!" Lost half of our stuff...damaged many items. Lie consistently, kept re-scheduling delivery date...rude, unprofessional...talked to owner at one point, who just lied and gave me more BS! PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FRAUD OF A MOVING COMPANY!!!
Positive experience
Customer service was always there for us and the movers did an amazing job packing and loading our stuff. The entire experience was quick and smooth.
Horrible experience
This company will not make your move but will hire another company to do it. The movers who came to our house even stole my wallet during the move. It was an embarrassing experience.
Horrible move from Miami to CT. Worst movers ever.
They broke and stole many of our things, the damage made us lose more than $ 25,000. And we paid $ 22,000 for the move. This is a nightmare, and they don't want to refund anything at all.
from Tallahassee to Tampa
A true disaster, I regret using them and they are disgusting
The price of my move ended up being hundreds of dollars higher than the estimate they gave me. I needed to move so I paid for it. When my things arrived I couldn't believe it, everything was damaged or broken! A lot of money was lost and they only reimbursed me $ 100.
from Destin to Sarasota
Polite, fast,efficent
The entire team of movers was always attentive to every detail, and they worked very carefully not to damage anything. I recommend them if you want to feel calm during your move-in process!
from Orlando to Miami
Best Moving Company!
They did an amazing job, took a lot of weight off my shoulders. The customer service was wonderful, and the entire team of movers was very friendly and professional.
BUYER BEWARE on Interstate moves!
This company does not make your move directly but they hire third-party companies, and they are not responsible for any problem you have with them. In my experience, I was overcharged so many times that I am initiating legal action.
