GBUnpakt is trying to scam customers. Do not use! To be clear, this review is for Unpakt, rather than the moving company. The moving company was great but the Unpakt customer rep I spoke to was rude and abusive. After the move, I was randomly charged $300 because the Unpakt woman told me that the movers had to switch to a smaller truck to deliver my furniture. I contacted the movers directly and they told me that they did not switch and had not asked Unpakt to charge me. While I was successful in getting my refund eventually, it seems obvious to me that Unpakt was just trying to scam me out of $300, since the movers weren't even aware that this fee was charged post move. On top of that, every interaction with the Unpakt customer rep was a nightmare. She was rude and abusive and unwilling to listen to reason. Don't use Unpakt unless you are looking to get scammed!

GBThumbs Down Unpakt Does not answer e-mails Unpakt did not address my concerns when I wrote them about my problem. Requested in home consultation of 2 moving. Heard from 1 within 1 hour confirming appointment. I took afternoon off from work to meet with them. They never showed up or called. They called 6 days later to come. I told them not to bother. I would never use this service for a move, you would be lucky if they show up to move you. I e-mailed unpakt with my complaint and never heard from them.

GBPut false charges on my move after the fact Horrid company which is absolutely worthless at customer services. Our movers were rude and put extra charges on the contract after we signed it, and tried to charge us for it. I called and chatted with unpakt and they told me I had to take it up with the moving company. They made no attempt to resolve or correct the issue and were rude about it. Would never work with them again.

GBGreat concept...HORRENDOUS customer service! I'll be honest...I'm fully supportive of having a middle company guarantee the price of your move (especially if you are going cross country). I've only moved cross-country once but the lack of a transparent pricing structure is unreal and SO costly. There is room for growth in this industry and I'm glad someone is working to improve that process. That being said, the customer service at Unpakt is HORRENDOUS. I highly suggest you make sure you have all your moving inventory is added the first time (or else you will need to re-approve billing as the prices change). This makes for a very unclear process as to when the move actually gets charged to your account. I understand why my move got canceled but the mere fact that the woman on the other end was so horrendous and unapologetic about the cancellation - I'd probably not recommend this until they get their "you know what" together. Be nice to people when they are moving because its a headache. At the end of the day you are in the service industry and positive attitudes go a long way.

GBDO NOT USE UNPAKT, possible fraud. Scheduled with unpakt 6 months prior to move. Was given 1 mover to choose from. unpakt charged me IN FULL 2 days before the move. Email, text and phone confirmations prior to the move. 1 hour before the move, the local company cancels. unpakt customer service was unavailable - NO HELP AT ALL. > unpakt is a referral service. That is all. The local mover they referred me to was horrible. Not much of vetting process here. > unpakt charges outrageously. The company I found (last minute, showed up within 2 hours) charged 60% of what unpakt did. AND they didn't charge until AFTER the job (except deposit). > unpakt customer service is the worst. No answer for several hours on the day their mover cancelled and I HAD to be out of my house. > I had to dispute the charges thru my CC company. THAT'S CORRECT: they no show, but wouldn't refund my money. Fraudulent.
