Avoid at all costs.
I cannot recommend this moving company under any circumstances. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Here is a summary of the appalling service I received:
Gross Mismanagement: The company, managed by Xavier, significantly underestimated the volume of my belongings (25 m³ quoted vs. 40 m³ actual). As a result, they didn’t bring a large enough truck and caused unnecessary delays.
Unprofessional Packing: Despite paying for a full packing service, the company hired untrained individuals found online, rather than their own staff, to pack my belongings. They didn’t provide adequate packing materials, forcing my family to supply over half the boxes, tape, and bubble wrap at our expense. We paid for complete packing services but spent a whole 2 days helping the men pack as they were unprepared.
Lack of Communication and Rudeness: Xavier was consistently rude, dismissive, and completely unhelpful. He ignored messages for days, provided no updates or GPS tracking as promised in the contract, and never apologized for delays. When I asked a french friend to mediate on my behalf, he shouted at her to go f** herself. This is completely unacceptable behavior for any professional service.
Unacceptable Delays: Our contract guaranteed delivery by a specific date, but my belongings arrived 10 days late. This caused significant additional expenses, including hotel stays, emergency purchases, and childcare challenges.
Extortion: Upon delivery, Xavier demanded an additional €1,500 for the extra volume, refusing to unload my belongings until the payment was made. We were left with no choice but to pay under duress, as he essentially held our belongings hostage.
Failure to Deliver Promised Services: Even after paying for a full-service move, the movers did not reassemble our furniture as outlined in the contract. My family had to do everything ourselves, adding even more stress to an already terrible experience.
This company’s lack of professionalism, gross dishonesty, and complete disregard for their contractual obligations have caused my family immense stress and financial loss. Xavier’s rude and aggressive behavior made an already awful situation even worse.
Do not use PACA Moving, also known as Euro Move.
