We chose Mayflower over United and Atlas because of all the good reviews on this site and the negative reviews about the latter two. We called the local affiliate in June to move from Baltimore to TV. We sold a lot of our furniture to the buyer. We only had a master BR set and and a few other pieces but we did have 70 large boxes of which 10 were very large wardrobe boxes. The estimate was $3400. After they picked up our goods on June 27th they called and said after weighing the shipment it will only be $2850.
Delivery was suppose to be on July 8th, 3 days after we closed. Every week we got a new delivery date from our agent in Baltimore, they said Mayflower didn't have any drivers available. Finally after 2-1/2 weeks they asked if we would reconsider United, I said yes, anybody is fine. We've been sleeping on an air mattress and no television since our TV's and Directv boxes were in the load. I had to reschedule Directv three times.
Finally our delivery was made by United Van Lines on July 28th. During the delay I had called Mayflower to file a complaint and they gave me an email address to file a late claim after our delivery had been made. We paid the driver with a certified check for $2850 on a Sunday. I filed an email claim on that Tuesday and on Friday in my mail was a check for $2000 from Mayflower for being late.
