    The crew that picked up and the crew that dropped off were both quick and diligent. When I started the process, I wanted to pay with my credit card. Then in the middle of it, I was told no. I told them, "The person I talked to in the beginning said I could pay everything with my credit card and that's what I'm gonna do." They ended up doing it anyway. But they had to keep me on the line a little bit more to get that done.

    Everything went well with my move with Solomon & Sons. It ended up being way more expensive than we expected, but that was because my poor wife was like, “Let me handle it.” and she was way under of boxes. But no complaints. The team that came to the house in Maryland was great. The driver was absolutely awesome. He worked with his guys as well. He was really helpful in describing the paperwork. He knew his stuff. They also cleaned up. They put everything together and put things where we asked them to. And nothing to my knowledge was damaged. All in all, it was nice.

      I liked Solomon & Sons when I talked to them and I could not have been happier with what they did. This was a move from Florida to Maine and it is not easy to find that kind of operation. I called them on a Friday and they asked if I could be ready the next day. I couldn't so they packed on Monday. I had everything packed up in Miami and it arrived in Maine in six days, which is unheard of. I've never had such a service from a moving company, ever. I would go back to them in a heartbeat.

      The movers were very nice and professional. It took forever on moving day but they were very careful. There were very knowledgeable about what we would need, what our expectations were, and how the process would work for the storage. They were a little small but they were hard workers and they did the job. Solomon & Sons is honest and they tell you like it is. They try to get as much information from you as possible as far as quantities and how the packaging gets done. That's the easy part with them.

      The initial quote and the final bill had a huge difference. The drivers were driving an 18-wheeler so they couldn't park it. So, they had to rent a truck and I had to pay for that as well. But they met the timeline. Solomon & Sons has great customer service and the rep was awesome. I'm not happy about the price, but it happens. The moving crew were fast. They came around noon and they were done by 2:00.

      The only thing that worried me, but since I was in need, was that once you made a reservation with Solomon & Sons, they take out $800. You cannot cancel it and get that money back. But they were pleasant when I couldn't find anybody else and the other people were asking me for more money. The money bothered me so much, maybe because of what was happening. But it’s fair. They're not the issue. It’s me. They were very helpful and I was able to do certain things online because I had so much going on. And they took everything for me. When the reps got to Florida, they put everything in the storage and made sure that they fit. So, I appreciate that part. They were going above and beyond.

      SOLOMON & SONS • Based on my items in storage, my estimate of the move cu ft was 400 and Jordan’s estimate was 530 cu ft. He provided an estimate of $3,653 which included $500 for the mid-point and a $200 Sr. Citizen Discount. He assured me that the truck could make it to the house but would have to back up to depart – no problem.

      • The coordinator, who was responsible for the labelling of the parcels, did miss-label/miss packages or other errors(?) about 3 times. I am not sure if this played a part in my now forever missing items? • With the truck loaded, I took pics of the inside of the truck and the final size of the load. Then Forrest told me the load was 200 cu ft over the 530 (a 37% increase in Jordan’s estimate of 530 cu ft. (now 330 cut ft more than my 400 cu ft.) and the new total price was $4,687 first quoted by Jordan, so another $1,034 in fee! I was astounded.

      • Reviewing the pictures compared to the dimensions of the truck, I concluded that the load was 400 cu ft as I had predicted, less than Jordan estimated, and far less than the 530 plus 200 that had calculated. • I contacted their customer care guy Stanley, who asked his own team casually, when my items were on a pallet…”guys, what cu ft is that?”…Their answers: “400 cu ft.” • Stanley quickly informed me that he had contacted Jordan and all agreed the 400-cu ft was accurate, so I only owed a small balance of $276!

      • The last two items unloaded were 1) a box clearly labeled by me as mine, but with no sticker, and 2) my grandfather’s 90-year-old antique smoking cabinet. • Upon my own unpacking, I noted there were no kitchen boxes (no dishes, no small kitchen appliances, no glasses, no Bronze Arcosanti art bells, none of my ceramics (mine or mother from her childhood), no teapots and ceramic tea sets, plus more. • I contacted Stanley. My small moved took ten days, so either sat somewhere, or was I the LAST move of a larger truck? “Please advise, and would he please enquire of the previous/following other stops, if they had any of my boxes?” I heard nothing back from anyone at S&S or Stanley.

      • On 24 April: I called Stanley: The only thing I care about is ....IF YOU CAN ASK THE OTHERS AND GET A FINAL ANSWER BY THE END OF THIS WEEK? 1) if they have searched for the boxes of mine? 2) if they will look if they have them? 3) if yes they will look, will they look by the end of this week? I never heard again from Solomon & Sons, nor any did I have any response from Stanley on my missing boxes, or any results of any inquiry of their locations at other delivery locations. Conclusion: They acted honest on the REAL PRICE...but never responded on my missing items. These were family heirlooms of little weight so not worth a $ Claim based on weight only. Very distressing experience all in all.

      Horrible experience. Firstly, the quote which I was very specific with was about $1200 off of the final amount that they made me pay. The fact that you have to pay by cash check or money order should say it all… Driver up charged massively. Items took 6 days from A to B. Dozens of items damaged in transit. They were completely careless and obviously threw everything around, Thousands of dollars in damage, so unreal and such a shame. Dealing with their insurance company now. Will be paid Pennies on the dollar for the value of my items damaged. Do yourself a favor and use another company.

      SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SANITY! This was the absolute worst experience. They start out great and make you believe they are the right and affordable choice, but you’ll end up paying double the initial quote in additional charges. They start out very responsive to emails and pick up calls until they have received your deposit. Initially, the salesperson gave me a pick-up date which was incorrect, and I had taken a day off from work to accommodate. Thankfully, Keisha was able to explain that the driver would call me 24 hours before the actual pick-up. I was called 2 hours before they showed up and that was a week after their initial scheduled pick-up window and of course had to add additional charges that were not originally quoted. I was then told that delivery would be within 4 days of the first available move in date…. Which was incorrect.

      I was then called by the driver to confirm a delivery for the following date, which was 2 weeks after it was supposed to be delivered, and that there would be a “shuttle charge” of an additional $487.50. I expressed frustration in the additional charge and when calling management, I was informed that the truck broke down and my delivery was to be rescheduled. Another week and a half later I finally receive my delivery. Furniture is scratched, some furniture doesn’t sit flat on the floor anymore, irreplaceable and one-of-a kind sentimental items are broken, and my couch is torn. To make matters even worse they scratched my flooring in multiple places even after I mentioned that they were causing damage, no measures were taken to avoid further damaging the flooring. I advise you to move yourself or do extensive research before choosing a moving company but avoid Solomon and Sons at all costs! I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone!

      Worst moving company!!! Estimates are way off inaccurate, driver has very bad attitude, rude, very disrespectful toward women, they have hidden fees that they don’t inform for example bulking items, manager does not help, he make things worse, quoted me at $10089 and end up paying $13500, I will forward my complaint toward every organization that protect customers to prevent further financial abuse from this Type of fraudulent companies that prey on the desperation of a moving day.

      Hired Solomon and Sons for a move from Florida to Georgia. First, the driver showed up on the wrong date. He showed up a day earlier than scheduled when I was out of town. My partner had to drive 4 hours to meet them right after they called. After the delivery, I noticed two of my items were lost - a kitchen chair belonging to a set of 4, and two shelves that were attached to a corner table. I know they were put on the truck because we checked our storage unit after pickup and it was completely empty.

      After speaking with multiple customer service people, months of trying to get them to find the lost items, and filing claims for the lost items, they never responded back to me on any inquiries. Instead, the company that handles claims for them emailed me saying I cannot be compensated for any of the lost items because the driver did not put them on the inventory list. So they lost my stuff and won't give me anything for it. Of all the moving companies I've used in the past, these guys have been by far the worst.
