Warning: Do Not Use Liberty Express Vanlines – Misleading and a Total Rip-Off
In September I searched for moving companies and came across Liberty Express Vanlines. Over the phone, I was quoted $350 for 3 hours with 3 movers, everything included since it’s a local move I was told from three different sale representatives. The move was less than a mile from my old place to my new place. I was told I needed to pay a $200 deposit upfront and the remaining $150 before the move started no disclosure it has to be cash or money order only. I paid credit card for deposit.
I confirmed these details multiple times on the phone, the sales representative assured me the deal was correct: 3 hours, 3 movers, $350 total. She also explained that if I went over, I’d simply be charged an hourly rate. Since my move was very small and couldn’t possibly take more than 3 hours, I agreed.
I was scheduled for a 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM move, but the movers arrived 2 hour late at 11:00 AM. On moving day, September 30, I paid the remaining $150 in cash and signed the paperwork at 11:25 AM, which is when the movers started the clock he said. By 1:15 PM, they had already finished loading everything onto the truck, leaving about an hour of the scheduled time unused, before heading to my new place, one mover told me he needed 20 minutes to call his boss. I specifically asked if the clock would still be running during that time, and he said “No.” Confident that I still had plenty of time left, I let them continue since it’s still under the 3-hour window.
However, I was shocked when they delivered me a final bill for almost $4,000. The invoice falsely claimed 5.5 hours of labor plus one hour travel time – even though:
• They were scheduled for 9 AM but didn’t arrive until 11:10AM to be correct.
• The entire job took less than 2 hours.
• Travel distance was under 1 mile.
• Most of my belongings were already packed in boxes.
When I spoke with the boss, she had no idea the movers arrived late and that nearly everything was already packed. She falsely claimed the movers used additional materials how would she know, which was not true. During our call, she threatened that if I didn’t pay, they would take my belongings to an unknown location, hold them until I paid AND IT HAS TO BE MONEY ORDER OR CASH only and even pursue the matter in court she said. She also insisted that as long as we were on the phone, the clock would continue running even though the movers had told me earlier that it would not.
This company blatantly misrepresented their pricing, ignored agreements on the phone with representatives, and attempted to extort thousands of dollars for a simple local move. They did not fully disclose all the details, and they only accept money orders or cash no credit or debit cards which I didn’t even know until she emailed me the receipt.
I will continue to leave reviews about this company until justice is served. People deserve to know the truth and avoid doing business with them.
🚨 Beware: Liberty Express Vanlines is dishonest, misleading, and a complete rip-off.
