What to do about Team usa next?

Well I'm back for another post on this moving company nightmare. So after my troubles I find these people have scammed before. I have tried to track down some of these people but its hard to get to them. I went over to the other moving scam websites and posted in there some but I felt uncomfortable over there. To much hate and what not. I think I would rather just shit out my mouth for awhile and see what happens with this moving company scam blog.

Moving Company Scams

I am setting up this blog to post my thoughts on moving companies like Team USA moving company. I am in the military and was forced to leave my wife to deal with finding a moving company. She went online and did a google search for "cheap moving companies". I guess we assumed that the lowest price was the way to go. Man was I wrong. She found a company called Team USA moving located in Fort Lauderdale Florida. We should have done some research because it's easy to find out what a scam moving company these people are. They are a moving broker which means all they do is take your money and dump you in the lap of some unsuspecting mover. Team USA used horrible math to come up with some lowball price for our move and convinced my wife to give them a deposit. We needed to be out of our house by the end of the month. Team USA movers said they would be at our house before the 26th. They showed up on the 29th with half a truck full of someone elses stuff and only two guys to load a 4 bedroom house. They being some other company that Team USA subcontracted to. My brother in law had to get a friend of his to help the guys because they had been driving for two days with no sleep (can you say scary). After a horrible day of packing and repacking stuff they realized another truck was needed and actually had to rent one for them. They got everything loaded and on the trucks. the two drivers took off in the two trucks with no one to back them up in cab. They promised they would get plenty of sleep but my wife knew they lied. She found a bottle of Ephedra pills in the bathroom that were not ours. They drove our stuff across state lines pretty fast. I guess they were in a rush to get the other peoples stuff delivered. Most of our stuff arrived intact but getting it in the new home was another story. The dumbest one of the two movers we had dropped my dining room table top in the living room and shattered glass everywhere. The fat one sat on my wifes wicker chair and crushed it like a straw hat. They scraped and scratched just about everything you can imagine including the hallway walls in my new house. As they were moving stuff in they claimed that we were way overloaded and we would need to pay more to get our stuff fully unloaded. My wife argued that we rented the damn truck but they told her some crap about weight stations and additional fines they paid. She was tired of fighting them and since they refused to finish the job she was forced to pay them another $1000 on the bill. That's after they had dinner at our home, slept in our garage and asked my new neighbor for a beer. Can you believe these people? We're trying to get our stuff replaced but its a hassle not worth fighting for.
