*UPDATE*
Great experience once again. We've used FlatRate 3x and we keep coming back b/c of the excellent service.
I am waiting to find out what Flatrate is going to do about this. I will be happy to change my opinion if they find a way rectify the situation, but this theft overshadows everything else.
This place was OK due the location it's in but customer service overall is good.
Jewelry STOLEN out of my moving boxes: I recently moved cross country with Flatrate, from Brooklyn, NY, to Portland, OR. Yesterday, I started unpacking boxes and many items of jewelry were missing from my boxes. Someone went through two boxes (marked Bedroom/my name--a big mistake) and methodically took everything they thought looked valuable. They had time to open each box and hastily toss everything back inside. One box was even retaped.
FlatRate reimbursed me for the value of everything that was stolen. It doesn't replace the one of kind family heirlooms, but it is a nice gesture. They haven't given me any details about what might have happened.
Best Regards
I just don't understand how this is acceptable. Damaging things in a move, even losing a box or an item once in a while, sure--it happens. But Flatrate, YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE STEALING your customers' belongings. No business should ever stand for that.
Well this comment is for long hauler that wanted to haul for this company, just be prepare for a long wait for everything from being in the office checking in and loading...it's the first time and last time for me...FOR SURE LAST TIME!!!!
I used to work for the company the staff has no consideration and the management just pushes things off. Just the heads up. Don't take your chances. I wanted to believe they have the customers best interest involved but the bottom line only matters to them. I've seen customers get charge ridiculous amounts of money for a misleading service and they are not transparent and you will get the run around if you don't just accepted mediocre service. To sum it up there are some good people that work in the company but are subject to the mistreatment of upper management such as the ridiculous hours and low pay (I can tell because I worked there for a whole year and never got a raise and was performing managerial work and still was treated as trash. I wasn't perfect, I'm human but it was cause and effect situation the company subjected people to.) because the people don't position themselves where they don't need the company. So ultimately its trickle down effect happening and the customers always suffer in the end. Good luck with your move I hope this insight would be helpful to any considering a move. Life is made up of many risk with and outcome of choice.
