On August 8, 2023, Michael Smith of Uncle Sam's Moving Corps came to my apartment to discuss moving me and my family's furniture and personal property from Covington, LA to New Orleans, LA. He quoted a price of $3,600 for the complete move and insisted on being paid upfront via Venmo. In return, he would provide 6 men and 2 trucks who would move the contents one 1150 square foot apartment, two 10x25' storage units and one 10x10' storage unit all in one day. We paid the agreed upon $3600 in 2 payments and a moving day and time of 9 am on August 12, 2023. At 12:45 pm on August 12, 2023, one truck and four men arrived to begin the move. We were told one truck was sent to move someone else to Carencro, LA and the truck they sent to us had broken down and they had to rent a truck. They loaded half the contents of the apartment and delivered them to the New Orleans address that day. The truck was less than half full. On August 16th, a second load of furniture from the apartment and some boxes from the 10x10' storage unit were packed into a truck. They started late due to a broken truck (2nd). We were informed by the movers at 4 pm that it was late in the day and they we're finished for the day and they would deliver what they had loaded, which again was a less than half full truck, the following day. The third and last failed attempt to complete the move occurred on August 21, 2023. They loaded some of the contents of the two 10x25' units, but another half full truck. After this third failure to complete the job, Michael Smith became increasingly difficult to get to obtain a response from. I threatened him with legal action, he did begin answering the phone, briefly, he promised he hadn't forgotten about us and that he was going to complete the job and/or issue us a refund, neither ever materialized. On December 12, 2023, I hired another mover who completed the job. I paid him $3900.

Uncle Sam's Moving Corp moved my household from Metairie to Covington in October 2023. The packing personnel were polite, thorough and took great care with my belongings. The young men who did the moving were exceptional and easy to work with. It took more than one day because of the amount of contents in house, garage, and shed. They did not complain when I did a little rearranging and were happy to assist. All employees working at the old house and my new home were hard workers. I highly recommend Uncle Sam's Moving Corp.

Takes money that doesnt belong to him and then wont give it back. Ill be sure to let every other professional in my field know that this man clearly will take things that dont belong to him. I hope you hear that voice trying to tell you to do the right thing and listen to it .
