Father & Son Moving & Storage

This moving company is a rip-off. I should have done my homework before hiring them - they charge $115 an hour for three men and a van. I got two and a half men, at best, for a move that took almost 8 hours from Meriden, CT, to Wallingford, CT (5 miles). There was no huge furniture except for a sleeper love seat and a recliner. The bulk of the move was boxes and bins - no dining room set, no bedroom furniture. The movers broke my computer table and the company would not replace it. I settled for their furniture repairman coming to my home to repair the keyboard tray and a leg of the table. I don't want to revisit this move anymore so my advice is to hire Mike's Delivery & Moving Service out of North Haven. I had a headboard delivered by them - and guess who delivered it? Mike himself! They charge $85/hour for a move and are efficient and pleasant. Father & Son's ad says "a family man on every van" - they don't mean one of their family members - they mean any human being because we all have families! Call Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree the company charges way too much and I really only needed two works not three. The third man was much older and asked if I had any food to eat and suggested before the job even started for a $50 tip for all three of them. I would definitely not recommend this company.

Comment to the reply from the moving company - anyone company can be in business for over 16 years - even bad ones!!! I would imagine you don't get any repeat business - and at least 70% wouldn't recommend you to an acquaintance, let alone a friend!

My experience with Father & Son was horrific - worse than the case described here!!

At any given time a person can get a bad move with any moving company even the best. We pride ourselves on being responsive to any issues that may arise.

In regard to this customer; yes the computer table did get damaged but as with any licensed moving company in the state of Connecticut the included insurance is 60 cents per pound per article.This customer did not purchase additional insurance So at 60 cents per pound on this article the settlement would have been about $50.00 maximum yet we sent our woodworker out to her home more than one time and the item was repaired.

As far as the move time; boxes and bins are very time consuming, more so than furniture.

This customer was not so concerned with having her item repaired which it was repaired as good as new. She was more concerned with trying to recoup some of her money because she had more items than we were told about when we had done her estimate over the phone.

We would not be here for over 16 years by ripping people off as this customer says. We have been serving the State of Connecticut for over 16 years.

Thank You.
