Disappointing experience. Company sold me an item, provided incorrect pick up address, would not respond to requests for correct address, and refused to refund me or allow a second pick up attempt. This could have been a positive experience. It was not. Not recommended at all.
Reply from the business

We did respond to your request. You purchased an item through the online auction and we had over 35 customers that were able to located the address. Your item was the only item not picked up.

Worst experience of my life. Was told of a couple of options being onsite sale at the cost of $2500+ or have them come and move the belongings to their warehouse for $1500 and sell there and online. That's all we were told. Obviously opted for the less expensive option. They broke things... threw a lot away... took and posted very very few photos. This was in May and I have yet to hear back with what was sold, plus does not provide an itemized list. Very unorganized.

It took us a number of months to sell items for you which we've kept in storage. We hung on to them because we were not getting a good response for the heavy brown furniture, which is what you had. The items that sold in auction are … More

When I first started attending these sales there was no "handicapped" placard for handicapped people to park. I called "Corporate" and in about 2 months there was finally one there. I have been attending "tag sales" for over 40 years and …

Caring Transitions did an amazing job moving my mother in law and getting her home prepared to sell. Dawn was extremely helpful, professional and accommodating. All of her belongings were handled with care, the moving team was extremely efficient! I highly recommend Caring Transitions!

5-star Google reviewMarcia O.11 months ago
We were moving from our home of 32 years and needed help getting rid of a lot of junk and cleaning out after our movers removed the items we wanted to keep. Caring Transitions was a perfect choice to accomplish this task for us. Dawn was informative, reliable and personable in my interaction with her throughout the whole process which was completed in a day. I would highly recommend Caring Transitions if you need help in downsizing or completely cleaning out.

We moved from a home of over 50 years to senior living. Incredibly grateful for this team who met with us to prepare, worked with us through the move. Everyone was compassionate, understanding of the emotions involved and brought needed practical direction. Can’t say enough great things about our experience-better than expectations!

A great experience. Dawn was easy to work with, the crew who came on decluttering day were fantastic, and so fast we had some extra time to get rid of some things in the garage that had been there forever and needed to go straight to the …
