Mover slowed work and pressured customer for a large tip.

Business reply on Google

Hi Alex, Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We truly appreciate that you chose to work with us again, especially after your positive experience last year—and we’re very sorry to hear that this move did not meet the same standard. What you described is not the level of professionalism we expect from our team. Pausing a paid move for personal matters, any change in attitude toward a customer, or creating a situation that feels uncomfortable or pressured—especially around tipping—is unacceptable and not aligned with our company policies. Tips are always optional, and there should never be any suggested amount or pressure placed on our customers. We’re addressing this situation internally, including reviewing the conduct of the crew involved, to ensure this does not happen again. Your feedback is extremely valuable in helping us improve and maintain the level of service our customers expect and deserve. We’d also like the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to contact us directly via email, so we can discuss your experience further and work toward a resolution. Again, we sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment this caused. We

Hi Lau, We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and appreciate you sharing your feedback. We always strive to be transparent with our pricing and promotions, and it sounds like there was some miscommunication regarding the 10% discount. We regret if our explanation wasn't clear or consistent. Even though you didn’t move forward with our services, we take your comments seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve how we communicate our quotes. We wish you all the best. Sincerely, California Movers

Business reply on Google

We deeply regret hearing about your negative experience, and we sincerely apologize for the issues you faced during your move. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are truly sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Regarding the delay in arrival, the time it took to load your items, and the additional charges, we understand how frustrating this must have been, especially with your strict time schedule. We take full responsibility for not communicating the details more clearly, and we will be reviewing our processes to ensure that these situations are handled better in the future. We are also concerned by your comments about the pressure to leave a positive review and the behavior around tipping. This is not how we want our clients to feel, and we sincerely apologize for any discomfort or pressure you experienced. Please contact us directly at [your contact information] so we can discuss this further and work to address your concerns. We truly value your feedback and want to make things right.
