Horrible! I contacted All My Sons to help me move my shed. Granted, it is not their forte, but I explained the situation, and they said they could do it. I have a 10' x 12' tool shed I needed moved and it all came apart into manageable sections. I set up the move for noon on sat. at 11:30 they said they would be there within 45 min. Finally, at 1:00, they showed up. I filled out paper work and we got started on the shed. Somewhere along the way, someone told the moving crew that we were only moving the shed from the back yard to the front yard, even though I gave them a pick up address and a separate drop off address and told 3 different people over the phone that it needed to be moved from our old house to the new house. Not a big deal but I would assume being a big company they would be able to keep things like that straight.
We pulled off the roof of the shed, and they were starting to be reticent about the move. Granted, the roof has shingles and it was heavy. So I said I would take off the shingles and plywood so it would move easier. As I am pounding off the plywood, I hear their truck start up. No biggie I think. They're just backing into the driveway so we can load this. I get part way done and look around, and all 3 guys are no where to be found. I get a call 10 Minutes later from one of the movers, and he says "My boss says we cant do this, it wont fit on the truck". I specifically asked for a truck big enough that it would fit, and talked to each person before the move, to make sure it would work.
So here I am, with the roof partially off and torn apart, with no moving crew and no truck. I call the office, and get told that it wont fit on the truck and that they would not do the move. It was the only weekend I had to get the shed out or I lost it. Extremely frustrated and near breaking down. I called U-Haul and rented a truck and trailer for 4:30 that day. I called my wife and she called a friend, and we moved the thing ourselves.
I am extremely disappointed with the work crews ethic when the going got a little hard, and the lack of courtesy I got showed. They left so fast, one of the guys left his full energy drink. If any of you at all my sons are reading this, I want you to know, 2 women and I moved what you said was too hard. I guess in the end it worked out better, it would have been over $500 to have All My Sons move it, but the U-Haul truck and trailer only cost $75.
