4/10

Johnsons crew turned up on time and were reasonably efficient (one bookcase damaged by Johnsons crew when loading on the truck). Main issue is that the quote included the statement mattresses were to be bagged prior to placing on the truck, however neither mattress was. On questioning Johnsons about this the reply was that they don't bag mattresses for a "local move" (they haven't defined over what distance they would deem in necessary to bag a mattress). My issues is that they stated they would bag the mattresses when they didn't. They also abdicated all responsibility for damaging the bookcase. This must be the only industry where companies think they can get away without taking responsibility for their actions.

Lack of communication was the problem in this situation, customer didn't ask about the mattress bag during the move. Mattress Bags are complimentary (FREE of Charge), all the customer had to do is simply say "Hey, where's the mattress bags" - would of solved the problem "immediately", as the bags were on the Truck available for use. The Team use Mover's blankets to wrap the Mattresses in the Truck to keep them nice an clean.
Basic insurance was chosen on this move...a wiser choice is to purchase "Premium insurance" to have full coverage of contents while in the relocation process. Communication is key for a successful relocation. Thank-you for choosing Johnson Moving & Storage since 1967.

It's not clear if this company is called TR Overseas Moving Inc., Tippets World or Tippets-Richardson. I've got paperwork with all three names on it! I had no choice in using Tippets, they were selected by my UK remover. They held our goods for ransom for an additional $600 then when the goods were finally delivered one of their guys had some sort of episode and started throwing our stuff around. It got so bad one of his mates took him outside and they had a massive argument. All the screws and fittings from our furniture diappeared and our TV has a 6 inch scratch in the screen due to the guy having his breakdown.

The company that were involved are called "TR OVERSEAS MOVING INC." and refer to "Tippet-Richardson's Terms and Conditions" on their paperwork. How are they not affiliated? Please explain your diatribe.
