Comment : Please see the attached pictures as words cannot explain how badly the ruined our stuff. $20,000 in damage, with no apology and no responsibility. We have had a nightmare experience with this company, top to bottom. The should be shut down. Please read on and spread the word. The morning of our move, Lippincott was supposed to arrive between 9 and 10. At 10 am I received a call saying they were not going to be able to move us that day! Ultimately, that afternoon, they were able to pull together what the manager called "the B team" and move some of our stuff out that day. They then showed up two days later, unannounced, to move the rest of the items. By the time they were finishing up on day two, I had this nagging feeling that these folks really were not very professional. I decided I had better purchase the additional insurance with a $250 deductible. Although guaranteeing me I was wasting my money and would not need it, their lead, Howie, marked the form for $250 deductible full replacement cost insurance and told me: sign here and initial here. I did. They stored our furniture for one month. When they delivered it to our new home, at least 70% of our furniture was ruined. Mattresses were dirty and had holes in them. Our six thousand dollar light yellow sectional couch was wet and had big black marks all over, every wooden bedframe was splintered and beat up. They literally broke a chunk out of a side table and glued it back together! Words cannot describe this damage. I will attempt to post pictures. The damage absolutely looks intentional. When I called to report the damage, they (a) did not apologize, (b) denied I had purchased insurance and (c) took no responsibility for anything. They demanded cash for services.

Posted at July 12th, 2021 07::07Subject :good company
Comment : We moved from Connecticut to the Carolinas ( like the rest of the state is planning to do). These guys were amazing!! Quote was pretty accurate considering we had things in a different storage unit and our apartment, which made it difficult for them to see the entire amount of "stuff" we had. They started at the storage unit and then came to the apartment. Everything was meticulously covered and inventoried. Our driver, Bobby, was outstanding. Prompt and professional. He along with local movers from Savannah unloaded the truck with remarkable speed, despite the heat and humidity. We had to force them to stop and take water breaks. They placed boxes and furniture neatly in whatever room we asked, and set-up beds for us. On a whole, Lippincott made our move very stress- free. Definitely would recommend them to anyone.

Posted at August 10th, 2012 00::08Subject :Friendly service
Comment : I told them I would write a review if I like their service. They made their part best and so here I am. Actually two guys were involved in the move. They were very polite, respectful and professional and patient. What I liked is they did not waste their time in unwanted talks. They started their work once they reached my home. There are no words to explain their work. I would like to mention as ‹Åfirst class work. No one can compete with such sincere team. It was a perfect team work. They did everything they promised. Though they were young they were very mature in their job. Thank you for the perfect move. In my new apartment I was actually confused where to place my furniture. One of the movers afforded me an advice to place my furniture. He told me he had seen many types of apartments. Seriously he had a good decorative vision.

Comment : Used this company to move within state of CT. Moving crew took additional 4 hours to delivery furniture. Items were damaged. Crew complained of location and stairwell. Complaint process long and complicated requiring additional paperwork, time, and appraisals. Do Not Use this company to move a dog house.

Posted at May 7th, 2016 13::05Subject :Buyer Beware
Comment : The mover damaged more than $16,000 of household goods, many pieces are new. The mover blamed me because: They say maybe the new furniture was damaged when I bought it, or their warehouse men damaged it, or I did not properly supervise the loading and packing and allowed their employees to improperly handle/pack my property. They did not pack/box several items that were then damaged. They lost parts to a 200 pound marble table and left it upside down in my dining room, said I should submit a written claim to reach resolution on what to do with table. Refused to move it to my storage room. Bill of lading notes indicated damage to every pice of my furniture when picked up, which is a lie. Many pieces were brand new. This is fraudenlaent business to try to protect them when claims are made. They lied to me about the existence of insurance covering me. Lippincott Moving Mgmt. totally non responsive.

I wrote to owner about 10 times, left many phone messages. The staff all work the same scheme to discredit the customer and try to avoid honoring a just claim for damages. They refuse to give names of employees who damaged my property or lied about the events. I would like to talk to the owner AND BBB should be aware. 18. Disputed Amount: $16,000.00
