Hammers Moving & Storage

Run away — FAST.
The owner did my quote, which was 2 parts. One for moving immediate items across the state, and one for storing items until I found a new house in Pittsburgh. The items that were moved next day arrived fine and in good condition. The items on the other truck — loaded out same day, are another story.
Items stored over a year — I have over $ 5000 in missing items, boxes were crushed, punctured, torn, and half of all wood furniture damaged. There is evidence of water stains on boxes and mildewed and blistered wood. So much for climate controlled storage.
They did not give me the inventory list to cross check as pieces were delivered and at 12:30 am, I was too tired to fight them hard. The movers signing everything out marked everything as damaged when I know he didn’t spend but an hour tagging out a 4 bedroom house on pickup. And on delivery, yes, I signed the damn sheet just to get them to leave at 12:30. I was sick from looking at damage and knowing pieces were missing, hadn’t eaten since lunch and even the one mover admitted he hadn’t seen such damage in his 30 years in the business.
Will see how claim goes but I am less than optimistic due to size of claim (likely $ 10,000).
