This is the ultimate in horror stories of the moving industry. When a full service moving company loads everything you own into a large truck and drives away you have nothing but the hope that it will actually make it to it’s destination in a safe and efficient manner.

This family was forced to move quickly because of a family tragedy and their inabitly to properly plan their move is what led to the tragedy of losing so much. Bad movers are a fact in the moving industry and even good moving companies can have a bad experience with a rogue driver. It may seem strange but moving companies can`’ t actually control every driver and the fact these guys can spend weeks on the road makes it easy to understand how some can lose it on occasion.

Even the best moving companies are faced with the facts that every once in awhile people make mistakes, sometimes really big mistakes, and we must simply deal with it. Sadly in the moving industry it’s often times that a bad moving company will be at fault and it does take a bit of time to find the right moving company. In situations where there is not enough time to plan and research moving companies before you make your move you may make a hasty decision to use cheap moving companies which will cost you much more than hiring the best movers in the first place. Stay away from cheap moving companies and instead hire an affordable moving company.

Families Regret Picking ’1st Choice’ Moving Company – Denver News Story – KMGH Denver

A Boulder family hired 1st Choice Moving and Storage and literally put their life in the company’s hands.

The Chadbones needed help fast during a family emergency and researched what they thought was a local company to move their items to storage. When they returned to reclaim their life’s possessions, 1st Choice Moving and Storage could not find them.

“This is our universal table — the ironing board,” said Steven Chadbone.

He said his family has learned to make do.

“We had a baby seat in there, which my first born was in, then my second born was in. We had clothes. We had little keepsakes. We had things that you just can’t replace. It’s not a money issue,” Chadbone said.

The family has their memories, but entrusted all their possessions to 1st Choice Moving and Storage.

“What have you lost sweetie? Hmm? Puzzles? She loves jigsaw puzzles and she’s had two of her favorite puzzles in there,” Chadbone said, speaking to his young daughter.

Now, all of it is gone.

“Literally they go, ‘Sorry we can’t find it,’” he said.
