Liberty Bell Moving & Storage, Inc

Rather amazed at the good reviews here. I am moving from Columbia Falls, Maine, to Phppsburg, Maine and called this company for an estimate. When the company called back, its representative said, and I quote: It will be "at least a grand" before I said another word. I asked how he could give an estimate without know what I was moving, when and at what distance.. His reply, "well if you can't afford a grand no sense talking." How does this company get business, really! Actually, the move would have cost between $2,000 and $3,000, but I would never, ever use a company with representatives who speak as this man does. My recommendation, call Central Maine Moving who actually gives you estimates. Perhaps because I'm a New Yorker and don't understand fully the Maine lingo, but I'm still sitting here with my mouth open! A few months later, I am now in the process of moving an entire house (5 bedrooms, dining room, two sitting rooms, and two porches. Looking up moving companies and found this old review and comment by owner. No, I didn't ask for a ballpark--in fact I hadn't even discussed any aspect of the move when the owner responded as he did. And I see other bad reviews with the same foul language responses by owner. I like Mainers and I can assure all readers this gentleman is not representative. Look elsewhere.

Outrageous prices!!!!!!!!!!!! We contacted Liberty Bell Moving & Storage for an estimate to move from our current home to our new home next month. We ONLY needed them to move certain large items as we would be moving our smaller belongings ourselves. Our new home is LESS than 10 minutes away from our current home, yet they wanted to charge us over $200 just in travel fees alone! Then, they charge $231 per hour on top of that with a MINIMUM of 6 hours. UNREAL!!!! So, to move just a few large items less than 10 minutes away, which probably would have taken no more than 2 hours, it would have cost us nearly $2000 (the quote they provided us was $1700). What a joke!!!! We have since hired another local moving company, who will only be charging us a little over $400 for this move and have told us that it may even be less if they are able to do it faster, which is FAR more reasonable and is exactly what we expected to pay for this move. These people are Liberty Bell are greedy price gougers!!! No way would we ever pay that much for a local move! Hell, we have friends who moved almost 800 miles and they didn't even pay that much! Definitely do NOT recommend this company!
