So it’s Saturday, it’s hot as hell in Virginia, and i work for a privately owned moving company.
Today I was scheduled to help a family move out of their apartment to a house. They showed me around their house yesterday and I quoted them a price of around $850 for my coworker and I to put items on a truck and then unload at their house. Mind you they have three flights of stairs at the apartment.
When I got to move them I realized I couldn’t lift some of their furniture so when I started dragging it down the stairs they started complaining about the scratches on the furniture. They expected me to move dressers and s*** down three flights of stairs without damaging it like wtf?
So I got in my car and just left and they’ve been calling my phone for the past hour asking when I am coming back. What should I do? Here’s a pic of their s*** not packed and the dresser I “scratched up” in the back.
And here is the house they moving to so they got money to find someone else
Respectfully, get your muscles up if you’re trying to be a mover fr. can’t be f***ing people’s furniture up
yeah, just leaving unannounced and posting pictures of some strangers house online instead of having a conversation with the person who hired you is the professional thing to do op 👍

OP, leaving without trying to figure out some solution is buster s***. You could have
a) brought up the issue with the heavy ass furniture with the clients and seen if you could possibly brought in more crew
b) tried to empty out the furniture or seen if you could disassemble it
c) tried to dolly it/brace it so you could safely slide it down the steps
d) tell the client you can't do the work and offer a referral to someone who can
You did none of the above and from the sound of it did not communicate the difficulties with your client or your boss, so yeah, that's mad unprofessional
cool story @op
