Thank you for sharing your concerns. America's Choice Moving Group is a moving brokerage: we coordinate interstate moves, while assigned carriers perform the physical moving services. We take allegations of misconduct seriously and want to clarify the documented circumstances.
Our records show the carrier repeatedly called you starting the day before the first day of your two-day pickup window and continued trying through dispatch. Those calls went unanswered. Despite the cost of sending a truck without confirmation, the driver went to your address and called again. We have photographs documenting the carrier's presence at the correct location. For safety and liability reasons, crews do not approach or knock at a residence until they have confirmed a four-hour pickup window directly with the customer; this helps avoid trespassing or approaching the wrong home.
We acknowledge and apologize for one communication error. Our representative said the truck was outside because they understood the carrier to mean it was still there. The carrier actually meant it had been there earlier, attempted contact, and left after receiving no answer.
Our agreement provides for contact approximately 48 hours before pickup to coordinate an ETA. An ETA is an estimate, not a guaranteed arrival time. Previous jobs running late, traffic, mechanical problems, weather, weigh stations, and law enforcement inspections can affect timing. In this case, repeated calls over two days were also unanswered.
Regarding the deposit, coordinating an interstate move involves significant work before pickup: reviewing inventories, preparing estimates and contracts, arranging carrier capacity, scheduling dispatch, communicating with providers, and committing staff and resources. Section 8 of our signed agreement explains our 48-hour cancellation policy, which is also publicly posted on our website. We wait until that initial cancellation period ends before beginning substantive coordination, avoiding unnecessary expense if a customer cancels in time. By pickup day, services had been performed and resources committed. The claim that we collected a deposit without doing any work does not reflect those efforts or costs.
Given the documented arrival, unanswered calls, and pickup circumstances, we are treating this as a refusal of service under the applicable agreement terms. We nevertheless offered to arrange a return pickup when a crew became available; those options were declined as unsatisfactory. We remain willing to complete your move, even if arranging another pickup means a substantial financial loss for us.
We recognize the frustration and our communication mistake, but a service dispute is not an intentional scam. Please call our management team at (888) 864-5721 so we can agree on a new pickup date and complete your relocation.
