Below is the email we sent the customer after having a few conversations. Not once was anything mentioned about damages. Any move that is that far of a distance is not a guaranteed delivery date. We explained to the customer from the begining that we couldn't guarantee same day, especiallywith the delay in the morning. The night before the move, the foreman commun9cated w the customer to ask if we can start the move at 7am instead of 8am in order to avoid traffic and get everything done on the same day. He responded yes. A little before 7am, he contacted Mauricio, ( the foreman) saying that he isn't available till about 8:30am because he had to go somewhere. The crew waited and couldn't start the move till after 9:30am and it was a 3rd floor. A walk through was completed and space was showed and explained prior to touching anything. Once the customer agreed, we proceeded with the move. He paid for space he used and $75.00 for 1 additional flight of stairs. As a courtesy, we did not charge him wait time which is clearly stated on the contract for the time the crew had to wait. This caused a domino effect for the rest of the day and delayed us getting to the next customer. With logistics, nothing is predicted. Anything can happen in route. Throughout the process, the driver stayed in communication with the customer. He was told we will do our best to get there as early as we could. However, due to unforseen circumstances, we had to wait until the next day to deliver. Around 11:30am, the delivery took place. The customer spoke w Scott and Zenio multiple times. He told Zenio he wants $450 or he is going to put a review. He left a voicemail stating that if this isn't resolved my noon today.a review will be posted. This is a form of extortion. We have proof of everything. EMAIL BELOW
Dear Mr Adam:
I understand that you are in the process of preparing a review for the move that we provided. We want you to know that we did everything that is expected of a moving company with regard to your move. Let me start by saying that you agreed to a window of time that started at 7 AM on Monday, March 3rd, 2025. We arrived at that time, and you were not ready for our movers to start the move. Actually, we had to wait 3 hours to begin the move. This caused our scheduling to become problematic, and we did not charge you for "waiting time". The Waiting Time amounted to a charge of $450.00, but again, we did not ask you to pay us, although it is clear in the contract.
Then, due to us having to wait this extra time, the move that we were scheduled to do that afternoon had to be delayed. We then had another unforeseen issue on the road and that caused us to be even later with our schedule. The best that we could do for you was to deliver your items the next morning. We did that, and our Foreman, Mauricio, was in contact with you throughout the entire process. I even spoke with you a couple of times, letting you know what was going on with regard to the delivery process.
Please understand that you got an expedited move/delivery, even though you were not charged for that service.
Then, you asked that someone from management to call you and Zenio reached out to you to assist. Please understand that our company tried to assist you in every way. We did nothing wrong. We actually provided expedited service, without charging you for that. We also waited three hours for you, and again, did not charge you for that waiting time, although it is clear that we could have, based on the language in the moving contract.
I do not know what else we could have to done to make this process better, but we feel that we went over and above with your delivery and by not charging you for additional services, when clearly, we could have. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the foregoing, as I will be happy to address anything else that you may need to discuss.
Have a good evening. Regards,
Scott James
