Progressive Movers PMI movers Ripped off, quoted $425 for moving and charged $2500 on moving day in cash! Paterson, New Jersey

15th of May, 2011 by User155138

1. Lowball offer for moving at $425. The actual cost is disclosed after all the items have been loaded into the back of the truck. The cost to me was $2500. Outrageous add-ons were for 'long' walks and steps. The cost of packing added over $1000 to the total. The cost of packing a TV is almost as much as the cost of buying a new TV. 2. The loaders were shoddy and took frequent breaks. Items were broken during the move. 3. There is no option other than to pay the extortionist amount demanded in cash or they do not unload your household. They will haul it away if you do not have the demanded amount in cash. 4. Stay away from them if you can. Save your money and your peace of mind. Find somebody who is at least honest enough not to quote you $425 for something that nobody in NJ will do at that price. 5. This has been said many times, if the quote is too good to be true, it is better to stay away from it.

EXACTLY SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ME. They quoted me $280 for the move and i ended up paying $2300. PLEASE PLEASE please stay away from these people. They are a big big RIP OFF!!! Very dishonest service and they even stole one of my Bose speakers!!! When they unloaded the items, they immediately took off without putting the stuff in its proper place.

Almost similar things as my friend said above. They should be fined for unacceptable business practices. One word of advice, please do not sign the papers they ask you to sign before the move with out reading every little bit of it. I made a mistake and they used it against me. Please stay away from them.
