I was going to ask that. People need to know for sure. What a scam! Sorry you had such a bad experience. It’s so up and down. I always use higher known names when moving. Price or not. Worth it!
I would 100% sue them for the full moving cost plus the cost of left behind and damaged goods. They misrepresented themselves, having someone from Craig’s list is disgusting and unsafe. All the damaged property and left behind items is unacceptable. I would also report them to The Better Business Bureau. Don’t let them get away with this or they will continue to take advantage of others
Definitely don't let that disaster of a moving company get away with that. That amount of damage to your property is unacceptable Michel. Please do not let them get away with that.
Girl. You handled that move with some much more grace than I would have. I would be PISSED and a bawling mess. Omg I’d probably also sue 😂. Also that wasn’t a “little” manipulative, that was a full out SCAM.
@@ELpeaceonearth Definitely scammers in the DISCOUNT moving trade. You can pretty confidently hire a major moving company (although things can always go wrong) but they are very expensive.
Also…. I vote for center dresser on the wall. I think that would look better. It doesn’t have to be centered with the bed.Fantastic job getting organized. Love the rug in the upstairs den. Very fun there! Take care of yourself!
How horrible! Make sure you take pictures of EVERYTHING! Then sue the pants off them! I’m glad you posted their name. I know you will out this behind you and fully enjoy your new home, but I feel so awful that this had to happen. Stay strong and keep looking up ❤❤
Hi Michel. I am so sorry you had such a bad moving experience. I’ve been in the moving industry for 30+ years. It’s tough to pin down good movers. Your best option is get references from people that you know that have moved. No move goes perfect. Somethings don’t travel well and they do break but your damage is quite extensive and from what I’m seeing watching your RUclips video right now definitely neglect by the crew in Texas. Absolutely file a claim. I am so sorry that this happened to you. There are some good movies out there and unfortunately people like whomever you used, give the entire profession a bad reputation. Another suggestion, is definitely write reviews on their website and yelp if you can. If you have a bad experience with a mover, you should definitely put the word out there.
I agree with others that say to sue. I literally gasped when I saw the travertine table, and I kept saying "AHH" out loud whenever you showed other stuff that was broken and the things they told you and then lied about (6 months training versus the craig's list ad). Can't wait to see the decorating video! :)
Our movers packed and wrapped everything and drove 1,674 miles, and it was over 100 degrees, and not one thing broke. I hope things get resolved quickly. 🙏
It is scary the movers are even still in business. This is the worst move I’ve ever heard of or seen! I’m so sorry y’all are dealing with this. What a huge disappointment. So sad the olive tree was left behind.😭
It's so frustrating that you pay so much for professional movers and things come so damaged. I'm sorry that tainted your happy move. I'd also fully recommend filing a complaint with the BBB so others know
You truly did handle that so well. Especially the way you spoke about it was very composed and well articulated. This is so nice to see, because it reminds me how we can’t control things and also allowing our emotions to take over does nothing. So I always appreciate your positive outlook and take on things! Praying you have a good outcome to filing claims!
I just have to say - I really applaud how HARD you are working to truly make this house a home for you and Jordy, and it is coming together wonderfully, despite that horrible company. You are making such a beautiful life, I hope it's everything you both dreamed of! (PS I'm not detracting Jordy's hard work - I know he is doing a lot too when he's not touring but we do see mostly your side since it is your channel and it has been a privilege to watch.)
Oh my gosh, like everyone is saying…do not let one bit of that moving damage go! I have anxiety from that story lol please keep us posted 😊 Love your home, looks fabulous 🥰 Always look forward to your vlogs ❤
Ahh Michel!!! I love this so much and I’m so obsessed with your content. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and so many other girls. I love your love for coffee/ matcha, home decor, and just living life. I loved your most recent vlogs and o love the custom couch! I can’t wait for you and Jordy to make a life in California and him making a community for you is so sweet. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
Ugh, I'm so so sorry this happened! It's terrible that there are so many predatory companies for things that are stressful, e.g., moving, funerals... I hope some good vibes come your way to bring bright rays of sunshine into your life after this terrible experience!
Hello Michel, I hope that they are able to compensate you for the damage and also praying for healing for your joints. Also, just wanted to say that it is a beautiful thing to be unapologetically confident in who you are in Christ! Love your home making videos!❤❤❤❤
I never comment on videos but watching your moving experience just made me so sad. When I moved 500 miles I had a very similar experience, EVERY piece of furniture was damaged and I was just heartbroken. My furniture wasn’t expensive but it was all under a year old and I had to decide whether to keep damaged furniture or replace everything. If I had wanted all new furniture I would have sold my things and not spent thousands to move my stuff. I’m so sorry you had a similar experience, and I’m glad you shared it.
My daughter moved from MI to Utah and paid movers $5000 for 15 boxes and a couple pieces of furniture. It all got there in one piece including a large round vintage mirror. I couldn't believe how expensive it was for how little they moved but at least it was undamaged. I think you could recreate the other half of the coffee table. You are very crafty. You could find someone to buff out the chips of your dinning room table, too. Make it look like new again. ❤
I felt the need to share some feelings. I've been watching your videos since you were previously married in LA. I loved watching your thrift and sip videos and your beautiful family. Your mom and dad are thee cutest humans. At first when you moved with Jordy, I thought "great every video will be about him" but then I checked myself and realized that is a big part of your life. And you're happy. And I am happy for you. It's about self awareness and watching this video just made me realize that. I think you're a great joy and thank you for sharing your life with us all ❤
Always go with your gut. If you think it is too good to be true, it usually is. What a horrendous experience. Don't let them get away with it. As for the bureau, definitely align it with the wall and not your bed. Congratulations on your new home!
I you have not gotten rid of the stone sidetable yet and you have all the pieces, you might want too look into Kintsugi, it's a japanese repair method where you put gold pigments in the glue that you repair ceramics with.
Wow, girly! I'm so impressed. Take care to not get too exhausted. Xoxo ❤ Your new space is looking good. It's a shame that shady moving company did so much damage; definitely file a claim and leave a review on BBB, etc.
Michel! That moving company should face legal action, honestly. That's outrageous! Im so sorry about that and your poor shoulder! I've witnessed a lot of shoulder dislocations (my oldest son, both shoulders, seizures that destroyed the sockets) and know they are excruciating! Once we had to go to the hospital because one was stuck. I was amazed that you were still unpacking!!! I hope you get some rest, what an intense couple of days.
Aw these are my favourite kind of videos! Love seeing the progress, it looks amazing 🤎 I’m so mad on your behalf for the mover situation, so careless 😢
I’m so sorry to hear about the scary shoulder experience 😢 I’m so mad for you seeing all your things destroyed. I’m glad you are at least moved fully now and on your way to getting settled in your new home ❤
So sorry they broke so many of your practically new things. I have moved alot. I pack my own things & let movers load the trucks & unload. I only lost items that I trusted someone else to pack. Last year we moved from FL to SC. Our belongings were in pods for 4 months. Nothing was broken. Glass top tables, curio cabinets, our whole house.
Ahhh Michel, I am so sorry! Not to pile on but I used Allegiance Moving and Storage for a similar distance move - and they were also awful, dishonest, and scammy. I could not overstate how horrible of an experience I had with them from start to finish - so everyone reading please please protect yourself!! I don't know why it's so difficult to find reliable movers these days, but thank you for the honest and open review!
This seems to be the common practice among moving companies. I just moved from CA to OR and literally the SAME thing happened to me! we were quoted a way lower price and then when they got to our house to load up the price sky rocketed by thousands of dollars and there is nothing you can do because you have to be out of the house! IT IS A CRIME! we ended up suing them, I think you should too.
Michel my heart is literally broken for you as someone who just moved recently it’s so hard & incredibly stressful and I literally only moved 30 minutes away in the same state. Definitely file a claim for every single thing even if you don’t get nearly as much back. And also, please write a review or have Jordy write a review, mention all of the steps that you tried to take to prevent things from happening and what happened anyway. I am so sorry I don’t know if you got moving insurance but definitely something to look into for the future. Hugs 😩❤️
Love your moving and decorating vlogs. It's fun watching your vision and ideas in your new home come together. Sorry about all your damaged items☹ I would definitely file a claim. Hope your arm feels better soon. Its amazing how much you accomplished! So happy for you and Jordy❤
Michel, you gotta try mastering the art of standing up for yourself!!! It's a very important character trait & crucial for your psyche! You can do it!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 It pisses me off sooo much when people get taken advantage of, especially such a nice person like yourself! 💗
oh my GOD. Michel im so sorry this happened to you i cant imagine. You're being incredibly patient and kind with this company. Don't be! Get em!! Think of it not as being confrontational towards the company by as protecting future people from having this happen to them.
I’m sorry you lost so much from damage. Thanks for sharing what happened. Hope this get better soon ❤have a great weekend.Also I hope your shoulder is feeling better.hugs from Alabama ❤
I am sooo sorry this happened to you. We just moved from Seattle to Austin and after reading reviews, hearing horror stories, and talking to companies that seemed so scammy we opted to get a POD and load it ourself. It seemed like the only option which wasn’t a total scam. I pretty much have a negative opinion of all moving companies at this point. And I echo what everyone else says about getting your money back. Did you happen to pay by credit card? You might be able to do a charge back through the credit card company.
What a Royal Pain should be their name! That’s just way unacceptable. I hope they pay for all your broken stuff. You are amazing and such a hard worker, Jordy will be so surprised when he gets home.
Center on the wall for sure. Loved the tulip lamp in the living space better, but if you spend more time in your office you'll enjoy it more there. :) I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience with the movers...that would have made me absolutely LIVID!! I was just telling my husband how customer service has tanked in this country so hard.
Hi Michel! I'm a new subscriber but your videos have popped up on my feed for years! I want to say Thank You for sharing your life with us! I currently moved for work and sadly hate my new job but have to stick it out a year because of contracts. I'm hoping that year flies by! But that being said, your move and house buying, and settling in is making me realize just how fast things are going. I remember when you said your were moving back to California but it was months away and now it's here! You're here! And settling in! It's wonderful to see. I look forward to your upcoming holidays and wedding. Wishing you all the best in this very transitional time in your life!
You quite literally NEVER complain. You’re like my first born who would wait until she had a fever of 105 to say “I just don’t feel that great” so I always know that when she SAYS she doesn’t feel good she’s really really sick. It’s ok to share bad experiences. This was a horrible experience. It would have been better for you to just sell all your furniture in Austin because then you would have made $ and saved $. I feel so sad for you. As a beautiful different perspective- what an awesome chance for you to see your fiancée act with merciful love toward you and take care of the things you don’t like to. ❤
I'm so sorry about your terrible mover experience! I swear I have never heard a single person give a positive review of their experience with professional movers, but you are definitely was one of the worst I've heard. I have friends move from Oregon to Texas and it was a complete nightmare for them! They paid something like $15,000, and ended up not having their stuff for like 3 months and then lots of broken stuff and missing stuff and they got other people's stuff, too. I'm so impressed with how much you got done, especially with being injured! You have inspired me to do some organization around my house! Loving this moving series/time and excited to see how your decorations and general house stuff go!
So nice to hear someone talking about EDS! A lot of people don’t know what it is. I have shoulder issues bc of it and it’s the worst!! I hope your shoulder is feeling better 💕
You amaze me with your enthusiasm and energy to get things done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I think you should center the dresser with the wall, not the bed, the mirror will look so much prettier on the wall that way. 😊
Hi Michel - you are such a hard working person! I can’t believe how much progress you made unboxing and getting the house put together. I would center the dresser on the wall…never, never block the windows. Also, I think you need to move Max’s bench aka the boucle bench to another part of the house…maybe along a window so he can look out.
Well done Michel......you did sooo much following delivery of your things!! Be gentle with yourself....hope your shoulder is healed soon xx Get those complaints in ASAP......so disappointing for you re all the breakages and poor service! Xx
Oh sweet girl!!! So sorry about all of your furniture being ruined!! My God, they tore it up!! I must say you are handling it so very well, good for you!! After you get reimbursed for the damage, you must be sure to give them the rating they so deserve!! That's terrible. My husband and I moved recently after living in our for er house for 28yrs. We went with a moving company our realtor suggested, girl!! Every piece of furniture them guys moved has a nick in it!!! I was livid!! I keep forgetting to tell our realtor not to suggest them to anyone else because they really weren't worth the money we paid for them!!! Other than seeing all of your damage,I enjoy the vlog as always! Stay sweet!
So sorry for your moving experience. You should get money back, also make a claim with your credit card company to get money back. Also report them to better business bureau. I think the damage is unacceptable. Also, let us know their name, so we do not use them!
I totally get you… last weekend I bronchitis while I was moving my apartment from Atlanta to Charleston… loaded my pod and a UHaul, filled those, and still had boxes, a bunch of cube shelves, boards, my chest freezer, my vibration machine, my metal shelves…so we had to come back this weekend to rent another UHaul and load the rest…oh and we are on the third floor… So I wish you all the best… hope your arm feels better quickly
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry about your experience moving! Moving is already so stressful. We recently moved from east coast to west coast and thankfully there were only a few casualties. I really hope you get some of that money back!
You could totally take that travertine table top and since it’s already broken with crazy random pieces you could break it up more and make coasters out of them and repurpose it all :)
I'm so sorry Michel! I totally understand how you feel. I have a moving horror story as well. The company I went through I don't even think is in business anymore but, they completely left everything that was in the bedrooms and kitchen so my husband and I were awake moving day until 6am the next day moving everything else in our car, 5 trips total an hour both ways, so like 10 hours of driving. Then we find that they broke a bookshelf, a box of glassware that says fragile, and they propped a fabric bag of linens against our heater and almost started the house on fire. Then they had the nerve to ask for more money! I sent them huge letter compliant and they dropped it but, it was a nightmare!
I literally live for your videos 🩵 They are part of my life/routine, and without them I feel like I'm missing something 🤍 You're literally my comfort youtuber and one of the youtubers I can watch for hours and never get bored! You're my role model & I look up to you so much ❤️
Girl, such a horrible moving experience, i dont know how it works in US but in UK you buy insurance package that is added to the moving price and it covers possible damage to some extent. See if you had one in your papers, maybe it is there? About your kitchen, drawers are great for storage and so much more versatile than cupboards, so it looks like you will be fine ;) what i would do is put as much as i can away so it doent collect the dust and for the shelves i would probably keep decorative glasswear, plants, pretty cookbooks etc there, but not plates and daily used items, but hey, thats the beauty of owning a home- you make it how you like it ;) good luck ;)✌️
Leave a scorching review to warn others of your experience. How did you keep from being absolutely furious? (or maybe you were). But then, what's done is done. Jordy is going to be so impressed by how much you achieved while he was away. Look forward to the decorating video.
Hi Michel, first of all I’m so sorry you had such a horrible experience with that moving company…as many have said,definitely file a claim and report to BBB… Love your decorating ideas…would love to know where you purchased the “ shades” for you lighting above the island…a great idea to change decor at a reasonable price ..
I moved 2500+ miles with a ubox that I packed myself thoroughly because I don’t trust movers. I made sure everything was in there safe and secure. It was a lot more, but everything was fine when it arrived! I’m so sorry this happened.. but the company is definitely noted for any of my future moves if I don’t do U-Haul again.
Michel, i didn't know that your joints were prone to slipping so for the remainder of the video (post shoulder dislocation) i was stressed watching you move your arms :') glad to see you're feeling better!
Wow, your stuff is trashed, I’m so sorry. I’m moving soon due to divorce after 24 years of marriage, praying for a smoother transition. Hope you’re able to get some compensation ❤❤❤
I've had movers move our entire household three separate times, all from one state to another. I have NEVER had that many broken items. One thing I'll NEVER do is hire the company that gives me the lowest quote, especially when it's significantly lower than everyone else.
OMG! Please, don’t let that company get away with that! What a shame! Not just a BAD job - that is “we just don’t care” job! Please, don’t let them get away with that! Worth all the energy to fight! Doesn’t matter how nice someone is - to get the job! Grrr!!!
I know you mentioned like 3-5 vlogs ago that the mic was making a weird noise and that you had fixed it, but wanted to let you know it’s still making the off creaking noise, you can hear it when you show us the ruggable! Just wanted to let you know :)
Michel I was in a similar moving experience story at the end of 2020. I had to get my next door neighbour to come in and supervise the movers as we had to be on our flight back to where we were going. I had assume they would pack the beds up for us, duh stupid me. Then I get a phone call saying I needed to pay more money as there were more boxes than they quote me on, so had to pay. On moving day several items broken, the removal guy got almost angry with me when I pointed out the broken items, all were like you brand new prior to moving. I had also booked a reputable company, oh so I thought. Anyway you learn and move on. Loving your videos and what your doing with your home.
I’m gutted for you when I saw your beautiful coffee tables on Instagram I was 💔 they were such stunning pieces it’s absolutely appalling they damaged so much 😢well done on getting most of the boxes done even with your poorly shoulder ❤
The name of the moving company is Royal Moving Co by the way - just to protect y’all from ever using them!🤍
Please sue them! Dispute with your CC for fraud
Absolutely 💯💯💯
I was going to ask that. People need to know for sure. What a scam! Sorry you had such a bad experience. It’s so up and down. I always use higher known names when moving. Price or not. Worth it!
When you have time, go everywhere you can to provide poor review. It will help the next person. HUGS!

Thank you 🥹 Definitely going to be looking into what my options are 🥲🤍

Yeah.. not good 🫠🫠🫠

Oh I’m sure she was too, she just didn’t film or show us that.
HAHA. Yeah I think I also fell into the catergory of very pissed and bawling mess.. lol 🫠🫠
@@ELpeaceonearthPODS are a great invention. Load it yourself at your own pace, and pack it well so you know things won’t move around and get broken.

Have you considered putting the broken pieces of your cement tables back together like the rejoined golden cracked Kintsugi? Could be a cool DIY!!
Loving this positive outlook HAHHA!! Always opportunity for a diy 😉

Love your moving and decorating vlogs. It's fun watching your vision and ideas in your new home come together. Sorry about all your damaged items☹ I would definitely file a claim. Hope your arm feels better soon. Its amazing how much you accomplished! So happy for you and Jordy❤
I love how cozy your new home is.
Michel, you gotta try mastering the art of standing up for yourself!!! It's a very important character trait & crucial for your psyche! You can do it!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 It pisses me off sooo much when people get taken advantage of, especially such a nice person like yourself! 💗
I agree with others , this is unacceptable. Sue them for the full costs !
I’m glad you’re feeling better and everything looks amazing. You’re so good at that.!
For your travertine table keep the pieces glue them back on and then use gold leaf to the cracks. It would be beautiful!
oh my GOD. Michel im so sorry this happened to you i cant imagine. You're being incredibly patient and kind with this company. Don't be! Get em!! Think of it not as being confrontational towards the company by as protecting future people from having this happen to them.
I’m sorry you lost so much from damage. Thanks for sharing what happened. Hope this get better soon ❤have a great weekend.Also I hope your shoulder is feeling better.hugs from Alabama ❤
I am sooo sorry this happened to you. We just moved from Seattle to Austin and after reading reviews, hearing horror stories, and talking to companies that seemed so scammy we opted to get a POD and load it ourself. It seemed like the only option which wasn’t a total scam. I pretty much have a negative opinion of all moving companies at this point. And I echo what everyone else says about getting your money back. Did you happen to pay by credit card? You might be able to do a charge back through the credit card company.
Deine Vlogs strahlen immer eine so positive Stimmung aus.
What a Royal Pain should be their name! That’s just way unacceptable. I hope they pay for all your broken stuff. You are amazing and such a hard worker, Jordy will be so surprised when he gets home.
I can’t be the only one who can just stare at Michel all day. She’s drop dead gorgeous 😍
Center on the wall for sure. Loved the tulip lamp in the living space better, but if you spend more time in your office you'll enjoy it more there. :) I'm so sorry you had such a bad experience with the movers...that would have made me absolutely LIVID!! I was just telling my husband how customer service has tanked in this country so hard.
Hi Michel! I'm a new subscriber but your videos have popped up on my feed for years! I want to say Thank You for sharing your life with us! I currently moved for work and sadly hate my new job but have to stick it out a year because of contracts. I'm hoping that year flies by! But that being said, your move and house buying, and settling in is making me realize just how fast things are going. I remember when you said your were moving back to California but it was months away and now it's here! You're here! And settling in! It's wonderful to see. I look forward to your upcoming holidays and wedding. Wishing you all the best in this very transitional time in your life!
I’m sorry you hate your new job :-( hoping time flies for you just as fast!!🫶🏻
You quite literally NEVER complain. You’re like my first born who would wait until she had a fever of 105 to say “I just don’t feel that great” so I always know that when she SAYS she doesn’t feel good she’s really really sick. It’s ok to share bad experiences. This was a horrible experience. It would have been better for you to just sell all your furniture in Austin because then you would have made $ and saved $. I feel so sad for you.
As a beautiful different perspective- what an awesome chance for you to see your fiancée act with merciful love toward you and take care of the things you don’t like to. ❤
Center dresser on wall with a cozy reading nook by the window :)
Also I’d love for you to get back into acting that would be sooo cute
Don’t feel bad for complaining! I have only moved a few times, but my experience has been very good!
I'm so sorry about your terrible mover experience! I swear I have never heard a single person give a positive review of their experience with professional movers, but you are definitely was one of the worst I've heard. I have friends move from Oregon to Texas and it was a complete nightmare for them! They paid something like $15,000, and ended up not having their stuff for like 3 months and then lots of broken stuff and missing stuff and they got other people's stuff, too. I'm so impressed with how much you got done, especially with being injured! You have inspired me to do some organization around my house! Loving this moving series/time and excited to see how your decorations and general house stuff go!
P.S. You are NOT complaining about a move that went wrong. You are EXPOSING a scam. Don't feel bad, I'm glad you called them out.
So nice to hear someone talking about EDS! A lot of people don’t know what it is. I have shoulder issues bc of it and it’s the worst!! I hope your shoulder is feeling better 💕
I have EDS too.
You amaze me with your enthusiasm and energy to get things done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think you should center the dresser with the wall, not the bed, the mirror will look so much prettier on the wall that way. 😊
Hi Michel - you are such a hard working person! I can’t believe how much progress you made unboxing and getting the house put together. I would center the dresser on the wall…never, never block the windows. Also, I think you need to move Max’s bench aka the boucle bench to another part of the house…maybe along a window so he can look out.
Well done Michel......you did sooo much following delivery of your things!! Be gentle with yourself....hope your shoulder is healed soon xx Get those complaints in ASAP......so disappointing for you re all the breakages and poor service! Xx
Thank you for your sweet encouraging words 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Wood Glue on the outside chair should work. Try it before you dispose of it thinking it’s an impossible fix.
Great idea. Wood glue is often a stronger hold than actual wood grain.
Oh sweet girl!!! So sorry about all of your furniture being ruined!! My God, they tore it up!! I must say you are handling it so very well, good for you!! After you get reimbursed for the damage, you must be sure to give them the rating they so deserve!! That's terrible. My husband and I moved recently after living in our for er house for 28yrs. We went with a moving company our realtor suggested, girl!! Every piece of furniture them guys moved has a nick in it!!! I was livid!! I keep forgetting to tell our realtor not to suggest them to anyone else because they really weren't worth the money we paid for them!!! Other than seeing all of your damage,I enjoy the vlog as always! Stay sweet!
So sorry for your moving experience. You should get money back, also make a claim with your credit card company to get money back. Also report them to better business bureau. I think the damage is unacceptable. Also, let us know their name, so we do not use them!
I totally get you… last weekend I bronchitis while I was moving my apartment from Atlanta to Charleston… loaded my pod and a UHaul, filled those, and still had boxes, a bunch of cube shelves, boards, my chest freezer, my vibration machine, my metal shelves…so we had to come back this weekend to rent another UHaul and load the rest…oh and we are on the third floor…
So I wish you all the best… hope your arm feels better quickly
Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry about your experience moving! Moving is already so stressful. We recently moved from east coast to west coast and thankfully there were only a few casualties. I really hope you get some of that money back!
Thank you, such a bummer!! :-(
You could totally take that travertine table top and since it’s already broken with crazy random pieces you could break it up more and make coasters out of them and repurpose it all :)
So sorry you had furniture casualties. I'm so frustrated for you. That company is horrific!! I would call them scammers.
Thank you, so frustrating… 🫠
You are such a delight with such positive beautiful energy!! I also love your taste!
Center the dresser on the wall
I'm so sorry Michel! I totally understand how you feel. I have a moving horror story as well. The company I went through I don't even think is in business anymore but, they completely left everything that was in the bedrooms and kitchen so my husband and I were awake moving day until 6am the next day moving everything else in our car, 5 trips total an hour both ways, so like 10 hours of driving. Then we find that they broke a bookshelf, a box of glassware that says fragile, and they propped a fabric bag of linens against our heater and almost started the house on fire. Then they had the nerve to ask for more money! I sent them huge letter compliant and they dropped it but, it was a nightmare!
I literally live for your videos 🩵 They are part of my life/routine, and without them I feel like I'm missing something 🤍 You're literally my comfort youtuber and one of the youtubers I can watch for hours and never get bored! You're my role model & I look up to you so much ❤️
MARIA!! You’re the BEST 🥹🤍 thank you friend
Ditto!
& I agree! Center the dresser on the wall!
Girl, such a horrible moving experience, i dont know how it works in US but in UK you buy insurance package that is added to the moving price and it covers possible damage to some extent. See if you had one in your papers, maybe it is there?
About your kitchen, drawers are great for storage and so much more versatile than cupboards, so it looks like you will be fine ;) what i would do is put as much as i can away so it doent collect the dust and for the shelves i would probably keep decorative glasswear, plants, pretty cookbooks etc there, but not plates and daily used items, but hey, thats the beauty of owning a home- you make it how you like it ;) good luck ;)✌️
Don’t let them get away with that. Report them to the better business bureau too.
Leave a scorching review to warn others of your experience. How did you keep from being absolutely furious? (or maybe you were). But then, what's done is done. Jordy is going to be so impressed by how much you achieved while he was away. Look forward to the decorating video.
I’m glad your pottery got there safe 💛💛
I’m so sorry for all of the damage!!! I would definitely sue them. It’s unacceptable how negligent they were in this whole move.
Hi Michel, first of all I’m so sorry you had such a horrible experience with that moving company…as many have said,definitely file a claim and report to BBB…
Love your decorating ideas…would love to know where you purchased the “ shades” for you lighting above the island…a great idea to change decor at a reasonable price ..
I moved 2500+ miles with a ubox that I packed myself thoroughly because I don’t trust movers. I made sure everything was in there safe and secure. It was a lot more, but everything was fine when it arrived! I’m so sorry this happened.. but the company is definitely noted for any of my future moves if I don’t do U-Haul again.
Michel, i didn't know that your joints were prone to slipping so for the remainder of the video (post shoulder dislocation) i was stressed watching you move your arms :')
glad to see you're feeling better!
Wow, your stuff is trashed, I’m so sorry. I’m moving soon due to divorce after 24 years of marriage, praying for a smoother transition. Hope you’re able to get some compensation ❤❤❤
I hate to sound so superficial and vain but gosh yours so pretty!!!! When you came back in the morning i was like wowsers! ❤️❤️
I love that swing idea❤
The island would make sense for food storage/pantry since you’ll likely have things out by the time company gets there.
thank you for being so honest and real in your vlogs that's why i love you so much!!! also 12:51-13:36 song name please 🥺
Omg! I’m so sorry this happened to you. Movers can be horrible.
I've had movers move our entire household three separate times, all from one state to another. I have NEVER had that many broken items. One thing I'll NEVER do is hire the company that gives me the lowest quote, especially when it's significantly lower than everyone else.
OMG! Please, don’t let that company get away with that! What a shame! Not just a BAD job - that is “we just don’t care” job! Please, don’t let them get away with that! Worth all the energy to fight! Doesn’t matter how nice someone is - to get the job! Grrr!!!
Lol “I can’t stop until it’s done!” So relatable 😂
I know you mentioned like 3-5 vlogs ago that the mic was making a weird noise and that you had fixed it, but wanted to let you know it’s still making the off creaking noise, you can hear it when you show us the ruggable! Just wanted to let you know :)
Michel I was in a similar moving experience story at the end of 2020. I had to get my next door neighbour to come in and supervise the movers as we had to be on our flight back to where we were going. I had assume they would pack the beds up for us, duh stupid me. Then I get a phone call saying I needed to pay more money as there were more boxes than they quote me on, so had to pay. On moving day several items broken, the removal guy got almost angry with me when I pointed out the broken items, all were like you brand new prior to moving. I had also booked a reputable company, oh so I thought. Anyway you learn and move on. Loving your videos and what your doing with your home.
Your home is wonderful!!! I am so sad for you that some of your beautiful items were damaged in the move!!! 😢
I’m gutted for you when I saw your beautiful coffee tables on Instagram I was 💔 they were such stunning pieces it’s absolutely appalling they damaged so much 😢well done on getting most of the boxes done even with your poorly shoulder ❤
I'm so proud of how you didnt completely melt down. I would've been a puddle on the floor
Omg, thats terrible how things are So broken! Definitely do something for $$ back!
There's always something with owning a house and fixing it up!
Don’t let it go.
Better bigness bureau you can report them to and they can make sure u get a good company next time, that's awefiul!
