Father & Son Moving & Storage

Horrific

by Lucky Dymonds at Citysearch

I will NEVER use this company again – I am telling all my friends, neighbors and associates about my awful experience and want to alert people I don’t know! This company is incompetent in every way – from quoting; to loading; to delivering; to reassembling. They excel at tripling the price quoted; damaging furniture; not reassembling the furniture and getting lost for 1 hr on a 30 minute ride. Experts they are not!

Scam Artist - BEWARE

by TinyTomato at Citysearch

I only wish I read these reviews prior to hiring Father & Son of Newark NJ / New York to move into a 5 room apt - 3 of which are bedrooms. Everything you read in the prior posts happened to me too!! The job cost more than double then the price quoted, my furniture was held hostage,,,,I helped load and had 3 more people come to assist with the unload!! Sal / Sandy are very personable and give you the distinct impression they are stand-up, honest folks - this couldn't be further from the truth!!! Sandy arrived with her arm in a sling - stating her adult son knocked her down - for all I know this is part of the scam. Damage - lots and lots of damage from my grandmother's table, to my mother's secretary, my grill - to a lamp!! The only things that weren't damage were the things I packed myself!!! The movers didn't have tools and I was charged the 1 hr it took me to locate the tools they needed!!!

I can't say this enough - avoid Father & Son!!!

Check out this consumer affairs link if you have any doubt - consumeraffairs(dot_com)/movers/father_and_son.htm

If you use this outlaw, I mean outfit --- don't say I didn't warn you!!!!

• Pros: NONE!!!
• Cons: EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Definitly SCAM ARTIST MUST READ REVIEWS

by baxter5 at Citysearch

My mother had this company move her yesterday. I had no idea who she hired she said she had used them before. Half way through the day I recieved a phone call from my Mom almost in tears that they would not take her furniture off the truck until she pay them for an additional 6 hours. They threatened to take her furniture to there warehouse. My mother not knowing any better and fully under distress went to the bank and paid them cash. They quickly removed the furniture damaged walls floors and the furniture. Left everything in the living room didnt even put it back in the rooms the were supposed to. So they now finished early and didnt refund any of the extra money.

I ask that you please dont use this company move it yourself if you have to or pay some friends to help.

TELL ANYONE YOU KNOW THAT MAY BE MOVING TO AT ALL COST DO NOT USE THE FATHERAND SON MOVING FROM NEWARK,NJ
