Our move from Houston to Netherlands

Review of Johnson International / Johnson Storage & Moving Company in , United States by Ercan Y, 19 Dec 2018, 06:04
Moving Service
1.0 10
Caution Caution! Paid 4000USD for moving our household goods from TX, USA to the Netherlands, Europe in February 2018. Initially they answer prompt and professional but that changes quickly. After waiting for weeks and several emails from us, Denise at Johnson advised us of a customs inspection in the US. This was on March 22nd, Then they sent us on April 16th an invoice of 2700USD regarding this inspection we were responsible for, and with a very arrogant approach of Ayal Shany, also calls himself Alex Smith, probably of the scams Mr. Shany has done before, they forced us to pay quickly even if you dont have this money available. The inspection was finished April 2nd. They sent us this invoice 2 weeks later than the release of the customs inspection and then threaten to pay quickly otherwise additional charges will occur. After paying the customs inspection charges the container arrived 2 months too late at port of destination and now they will not release the container because they want us to pay for another 11.000USD!!! these charges according to Ayal/Alex at Johnson are because of my late payment of the customs inspection charges. It took me weeks to explain them that 2 weeks of late payment could never cause those charges. After contacting Sam Bassin, so called president of international moves, he was also not willing to help and confusing with his explanation, by saying for example: if you had paid for the customs charges immediately, we would be in this position. Of course I would be still in this position because the charges are for 62 days! not only for my 14 days of delay. Besides, as a normal customer you dont know how the shipping process works and which charges can occur. Now they changed their information and indicate those charges are demurrage and detention charges related to customs inspection. At this time, container storage and demurrage charges start to build up at destination port as Johnson will not release the container. What is even worse, they act like they are on your side by saying they do everything they can to negotiate or reduce those charges, just pay upfront and any deducting will be refunded. Of course you can believe this ''refund'' will not happen and they act like everybode has thousands of dollars to just go ahead and pay for. After weeks and weeks emails explaining that they sent me the invoice too late MR Bassin sends me an email that their hard work resulted in a deduction of 14 days of charges, 14 days charges for the mistake that they made! that is not a deduction, but a correction! They are good in sending you important information too late so other charges will already start building up and you have no time to think. It seems they intentionally delayed the container before and after the customs inspection to create extra charges and then blame the customer on delaying the payment too late! 62 days as result of a customs inspection is ridiculous. They probably take commission from those charges or it is a non existing invoice while we contacted the steamship line and they dont know anything about this invoice. When I made a complaint on BBB.org Johnson answered that in summer time there is a high volume om containers in queue. Well I did not know February and March were summer months. Who will believe that a customs inspection in the US will change the agreed service of 4000 usd to total of 17000 usd? Costs will rise each day the container is at the terminal and they are not replying to emails anymore or are very rude. We have already paid 7000usd and have nothing, they threaten us with auctioning our goods if we dont pay for those 11000usd. This business is a scam, they dont advise you in time of costs they already know so they can force you to pay quickly. This is a scam moving company who will keep telling nonsense and lies to you in order to take much more money from you in exchange for your ''life'' Now we even have to make more charges by hiring a lawyer. I wrote this review also on Yelp and there are all negative reviews and there is only 1 positive reviews and guess what, it is Mr Ayal S, employee of Johnson Storage and Moving who is writing a positive review of his own company!! how good is internation move was to London blablabla. I really dont understand how this big company is acting like a scam moving company without license. This Ayal Shany, from Israel contacted me also by Whatsapp and very arrogant as he could be, he also had a profile picture with very insulting text. Charges now already increased to 15.000usd they are ridiculous. Will do everything I can to get reimbursed for the emotional damage our family is suffering.

The worse ever. They were nice until they got my business, now they don’t even response to my email. I didn’t take reviews seriously but should have. Most customers were complaining about same issue I am having.

Move from Tennessee to Mexico

We have moved internationally half a dozen times and cross country multiple times over the years and have never dealt with a company as unprofessional and unresponsive as Johnson-United. Our move from Nashville to Puerto Vallarta Mexico in May 2019 was nothing but a nightmare and it took a year of dealing with abusive and unprofessional management at Johnson-United to get any kind of insurance settlement. No responsibility was taken by this company and they made excuse after excuse about third party partner problems and local issues. If you decide to use Johnson-United for your next move we wish you the best of luck! Some lowlights: • Movers never showed up the day they were supposed to pack us up. Johnson scrambled to find a local company who could help on a few hours notice • Replacement movers did a lousy job of packing (many broken items) and had no idea of paperwork requirements for international moves • Johnson lost several items of ours en-route and for weeks told us they had them and would be delivered any day but never were • Johnson said they would show up for delivery on a Monday, never showed, said they would be there Tuesday, never showed, said they would be there Wed , showed up at 445pm (deliveries are btwn 9a-5p had been explained to them prior). Finally showed up Thurs afternoon (after saying they would arrive first thing) • Boxes were crushed, damaged and packed into an open uncovered pickup truck. Movers intended to leave all our belongings on the side of the highway, unguarded, overnight until we called Johnson to let them know that wasn’t acceptable. • Filed an insurance claim for damaged and missing items in Aug 2019, including photos and links with replacement cost. Insurance company (Pac Global) set status of claim to waiting on movers to provide shipping documents which Johnson-United never did so Pac-Global closed claim??? • Sent CEO/VP Ops & other VP’s a message to try and get traction on claim. Finally had to settle for a low ball offer from abusive VP of Ops or try our luck in court as insurance company wouldn’t re-open the claim • Even after coming to insurance claim agreement it took months for them to pay out after saying initially it would be two weeks • It was only through persistence, repeated calls and emails that we received anything from Johnson-United for the items they damaged and lost. Johnson tried to blame it all on their Mexican partner and took no responsibility. Our contract was with Johnson-United.

UNVERIFIED REVIEW - Move from Colorado to Poland

The salesman Scott represented his company very well. Sadly, nobody else did. The unmarked moving truck and movers with no clothing to identify them showed up over 7 hours late on pickup day. Shipment was quoted to take 6-8 weeks. It took over 15. I was offered a discount due to poor service, still waiting to receive it. Worst communication I have ever seen in any company. Called the dispatch number about why the truck was so late, never got a reply. When asking Sam/Dawne/John any questions via email, it usually took at least a week to get a reply. And those replies seldom answered any questions. Avoid this company.

Johnson International was picked by the company in Germany to handle our shipment when arrived in Denver. We are very glad that Johnson International handled our shipment. From the 1st phone call to the last boxes unpacked at our new home it was a great experience. Thank you Diana Miller and the rest of the crew for making our move a pleasant one. We will use Johnson International for our next move.

I spoke with several companies before I made my decision to use Johnson International to help me with my move to London and I am very happy that I decided to use them. Their professionalism and the combination of great service with a good price made my move a pleasent experience (if you can call moving pleasant ! :) ) I would recommend Johnson to all of my friends and family whenever they need a trusted shipping company. Thank you to Sam Bassin and everyone at Johnson. Shana

While browsing for help, I came across Johnson Storage and Moving Company. Thanks to them i was able to get the moving done in no time, I met some diligent and alert crew. They took care of all my precious belongings with caution. I had a remarkable experience from this moving company. Very much appreciated!!

Johnson Storage and Moving company efficiently and professionally moved everything within the time frame I was quoted. No hidden fees. They took the precautions to move our items safely and finished without scratching anything. Usually moving is stressful but I was actually able relax a bit and stay focused rather than stress out on all the little things. They deserve five stars and I'm gladly giving it to them.

These guys are the best! I called around to many movers and was getting frustrated at no one being able to move on a Saturday, but Johnson Storage and Moving had my availability and were really fairly priced. They are extremely communicative, calling before they arrive and we're promptly on time. Moving is extremely stressful, and I'm happy to have found the right movers. Satisfied with the services. Highly Recommended!

Best experience with Johnson Moving Company. On the first phone call they answered all of my questions, the price was more than fair and the time was impressive. They took care of sentimental items and were cautious with every step during the whole process. I will absolutely use them again.
