RH Delivery damaged numerous household goods on my interstate move - broken picture frames, broken glass on several framed art pieces damaging the art, shattered a glass table, cracked a bed castor mount, cut leather, broke a statue, plus other dings and dents. This is my seventh interstate move (first with RHD) and there was more damage to my goods than the other six COMBINED.
It gets worse–after the fact they informed me of their bare-bones insurance, insurance below that which is required BY LAW for interstate movers. I was assured verbally that Replacement Value insurance coverage was “not a problem”. But when I asked for claims forms, I was told it was “too late” and that 7 days was “common practice” for claims filing with interstate movers. From prior interstate moves, I knew that was false–the customer has nine months to file a claim. All RH Delivery carries is $25,000 for a catastrophic truck incident and a minimal 60 cents per pound coverage. They won’t accept a claim after 7 days. Both are contrary to laws governed by the FMCSA (DOT); RH Delivery also has no DOT registration, as required of interstate movers, and they have no Dispute Resolution Process or Arbitration Process.
RH Delivery was grossly negligent. They were hired to pack, as needed, and clear and move all goods from my house. 3 weeks after the move I got notice from the landlord that I was being charged to clear items from the house, with pictures attached. Inexplicably, RH Delivery left numerous items behind – 2 suitcases; an upright vacuum cleaner and a carpet shampooer; clothing items; portable A/C unit; bath towel sets; and more! Several thousand dollars of my goods that they left. Scattered throughout the house–they didn’t bother to walk the house to ensure they cleared it out, as they were hired to do.They refused to take responsibility! They refused to accept an insurance claim! They even refused to acknowledge their error despite irrefutable photo evidence! An unfathomable lack of responsibility and competence.
RH Delivery does not understand their business. The day they were to be finished with my loading, at 2 PM I was told they would be pulling out at “4, latest 4:30”. I had to leave Colorado the next morning and, at 10 AM, they were STILL loading. They had no clue on what should be their expertise. RH Delivery delivered goods to 2 storage units. They put those units under their name and assured me I could get them switched to my name. Not so! Public Storage assured me they NEVER switch the customer names, and the RHD owner did not know that, despite claiming to have PS units rented all over the country. I cannot use the PS App, I have to go in person to pay, I cannot send or receive messages, it is untenable. I have requested that RH Delivery move the goods to units in my name. No surprise, they refused! They insist they have fulfilled their obligation in delivering the units to storage, despite the storage being unusable. Packing and delivery were a mess–cables separated from their electronics, shelves separated from bookshelves, modem and router packed in an unmarked box and buried, requiring purchase of new equipment.
RH Delivery’s owner will act like your best friend, full of confidence about getting everything done. Be extremely aware of RH Delivery. If you want to engage them, particularly for an interstate move, check their compliance with laws governing interstate movers on insurance, claims, and dispute resolution. The quality of their moving and packing service was quite poor with lots of damage. Their interstate moving services do not comply with FMSCA legal requirements. At every turn, they refused to pay for damages that are of their doing. All this while charging a premium price for their service! Their website boasts of a “100% satisfaction guarantee” which they have ignored. They take NO responsibility for their work product. I am being forced to deal with difficult measures to try and recover the thousands of dollars that are owed me as a result of the incompetence and negligence of RH Delivery.
