A Moving Nightmare
A Moving Nightmare - NEVER USE MUVZILLA! Complete Neglect and Unprofessionalism
I deeply regret ever choosing Muvzilla for our family's move from Switzerland to Denmark—a decision that has caused us unimaginable stress, financial loss, and psychological trauma. Our experience with Muvzilla has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I strongly advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere.
From the start, Muvzilla outsourced our move to a Portuguese sub-contractor, Beleza, who turned out to be completely unreliable and unprofessional. Despite having paid Muvzilla in full before the move, our belongings were held hostage for two weeks because Muvzilla had outstanding debts to Beleza from a previous job. We were left in the dark, not knowing where our possessions were, with three small children (ages 1 to 6) to care for in a foreign country without any of our essential belongings. The stress and anxiety this caused our family, especially our children, were immense. My daughter had to start her first school year in a new country without any of her belongings—an experience no child should have to endure.
After receiving a tip from Muvzilla, I was finally able to locate our belongings in Denmark and had to contact the Danish moving and storage company myself. In desperation, I had to pay an additional fee out of pocket to ensure our goods were delivered. This was after Muvzilla completely abandoned their responsibilities, leaving us to deal with the fallout. Muvzilla consistently pushed away their responsibilities toward us, failing to negotiate with their own sub-contractor, Beleza, or ensure that our belongings were delivered by the Danish company.
When our belongings finally arrived, the state of the packing was beyond disgraceful. Precious family heirlooms, including valuable silverware and important artworks, were thrown into boxes without any protection. To make matters worse, we received items that didn’t even belong to us, adding to the chaos and confusion.
The head of the Danish moving and storage company, who has over 20 years of experience, was shocked at the unprofessional packing job and commented that they had "never seen anything like this" in their entire careers. The conditions in which our belongings arrived were so appalling that we have yet to fully unpack, fearing further damage or loss.
Muvzilla's blatant disregard for their contractual obligations is unacceptable. They failed to itemize our goods, properly unload and check the inventory, and provide the unpacking, reassembly, and debris removal services that were promised. We have been left to do all of this ourselves, adding insult to injury.
Despite multiple attempts to contact Muvzilla for the €1,500 they still owe us, we have received no response. This company has shown a complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency. They have not only caused us significant financial loss but have also inflicted severe emotional distress on our family.
Muvzilla is a company that should be avoided at all costs. Their incompetence and neglect have made what should have been a straightforward move into a traumatic ordeal. I hope this review serves as a warning to others—do not trust Muvzilla with your move, or you may find yourself in a situation as devastating as ours.
