“Quick & fast removal and affordable rates”

Alvita M.
11/5/23

Both Nate and Brett called today to keep me frequently informed of when they would be arriving. Once here I showed them the 4 furniture pieces that I needed removed. An estimated quote was given, they got everything out in 20 minutes and he actual quote was less. Both friendly, professional and accommodating. I was happy to give them a tip and I highly recommend their services. Now our basement is much clearer - thank you soon much!

“NO SHOW for 1 800 Got Junk”

Debbie K.
3/16/24

NO SHOW FOR 1 800 GOT JUNK. I set up an appointment time with 1 800 Got Junk. They phoned & text me at the beginning of my appointment to say they are coming. The driver called a little while later saying they would be here in the next hour. Waited & waited & they never showed up. They wasted my time. I still got my junk: (

I called this company last week for an estimate. They showed up the next day as scheduled. Casey in Atlanta called me and gave me an estimate for a relatively small shed for 700.00. I did not accept this price and was immediately quoted 200.00. Wow an instant 500 dollar difference. This made me feel as if they are not professional and more scam like. I agreed to the 200 dollars for the following morning, Friday. I called Casey more than five times once it was obvious they were not coming as scheduled. He never answered or returned my call and the service was never done. I called customer service to speak with a manager on Friday. As of today Monday morning no one has reached out to me… I do not know about other areas… the team in Gwinnett, Georgia (snellville) will offer you an outrageous estimate and follow up with one in which they never intend on honoring…. Casey is the guy who says on his answering machine he is part franchise owner… 770-990-611%

This company is way over priced and does not load the truck properly, they are clean and look nice but get pass that the know nothing about the Junk removal business, go with a local smaller company get twice as much for your money and better service. DO RESEARCH just do not hire them for their ads. ALL companies pick up what you point at.

Tip for consumers:
Use smaller local companies instead of this one with their million dollar ads they need to pay for. WAY OVERPRICED

1-800 got junk is horrible, overpriced and a scam. They charged me more money to get rid of my garbage then the movers that moved my good stuff did. The movers packed all my stuff wrapped all my stuff made two stops and set my stuff up for less money than 1 800 got junk charge to take my junk away. Not to mention they probably made two to $300 selling my my good items that I was getting rid of. So they show up at my apartment knowing that they're charging me for volume of truck used and they showed up with junk already in their truck. Then had to make another trip how do I know they couldn't fit all my stuff in there if their truck was empty and charge me for one truck, instead of what they charged me. Scam scam scam.

Got Junk came on Tuesday. Liam and Darian were very polite and professional. They even offered to sweep up different areas for us. Great Employees! This was the 3rd time we have used this company and each time the people who come to the house are the same. Great Company!

The Perth Got Junk team was horrible and abusive on the telephone to me. There was a miscommunication about the method of payment and instead of trying to clear it up was told I was yelled and and told I was the one mistaken. I was then pocket dialled and heard the owner saying words to the effect of "go f*ck yourself" in reference to me. Do not use this abusive business operator

Called and had to wait a week and a half for them to come. I had what I wanted them to take on my porch. A rug, ironing board, 2 boxes of mixed Cd's, DVD's and VHS Videos. Two bags of books and a couple of picture frames and a small color TV in working condition. They quoted me a price of $495.00 and said it would be a $50.00 surcharge for the TV. I. Couldn't believe the price. I thanked them for coming but said the price is way too high. They said they could do it for $425.00 but there was still a surcharge on the TV. I said no and they said the best they could do was $385 and the surcharge. I couldn't believe they were playing, "let's make a deal". I don't like this company, nor do I trust them.

I worked for this company they don't pay enough to do what they do. Their incentive system is a joke. They tell you the hours are 7AM-7PM but you wind up working to 10-11 at night. They give you 4 set days to work and don't ask to change it. When you say something they say " you have to have open availability" after you set your days in the interview and nothing about open availability was ever mentioned. Something needs to change

Called for estimate, guys showed up thinking going to take away. Made pickup date and when called to confirm they had wrong date. Tried again, had wrong time, tried again everything was a go. On day of pick up was called and was told wrong time and it would be just an estimate. Cancelled everything. Very poor communication, because spoke with serval different site managers and schedulers.

I had a scheduled pickup for 2 items. I was rescheduled 3 times that day and was told the 3rd time it could take awhile to get out to me. At this time it was 5:30pm. Their last excuse was because of the poor weather their truck needed a boost. The temperature was -6c. Then had to dump their load. I can not recommend this company. Lame excuses that don't hold water

We had 1800got junk take away junk that I needed to remove. From the beginning when I called,
The person that I spoke to was friendly. The two gentlemen that came today called and said what time they were coming. They arrived right on time. They were friendly and efficient. I would give them and your company a 10 out of 10. This is the 2nd time we have used their service. The pricing was really reasonable. If you need junk removed 1800gotjunk is the company to use

I received a quote of around $200 for removal of two items. They get here and the price came was almost double. I was very accurate with my description, giving them precise dimensions. I called a company on Craigslist and they are removing my two items for $100. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Service came as expected / movers polite, however I recd a call from the Condo association and was told about wall damage and complaints from other tenants that they were reckless while moving 3 large items and a few bags of stuff. I now have 900 $ PLUS BILL FOR REPAIRS and although ive made a claim i can't get an answer from the CS department. PAID 600 $ PLUS TIP, as i wrongly assumed they had done the job professionally one the move down. Nice kids but not experienced movers. Looking back now i should have known they came up with only a trolley no ropes or blankets... they also did not use the service elevator as i mentioned to them hence the complaints from the tenants. I have security camera video and pictures showing their recklessness. Mostly upset about the lack of customer service. I will delete this if they resolve the matter by paying the bill and compensating me for my wasted day of work...

Mom was wanting to get rid of stuff and called 1-800- got junk. They arrived Tuesday, all I will say is They left without any junk! We decided NOT TO USE their services based off their lack of professionalism and trying to make money off my mom- until I stepped in and that was the end of that.

What was funny was JD junk just left and said they had to go to another client after moms because they canceled with 1-800-got junk as well….I couldn't imagine why!

First and last time using 1 800 JUNK
Needed small couch, stuffed chair and 4 kitchen chairs removed.
Business practice of NOT giving a fairly accurate estimate on cost of removing small couch, stuffed chair and 4 kitchen chairs. No estimate given when asked when they phoned to postpone pickup. Said real busy had to rebook for later that day. Was booked for 9:00 am, they called a second time said they would be here in half hour. They arrived at 11:00.2 men came in, no masks, one said he needed to look at sofa and chair. Said cost would depend on how much space items would take in truck. On one end of scale $217 other end $295. One employee guestimated approximately 1/6 of the truck and no price, until all pieces are loaded.
All items loaded within 15 minutes!
4 men on our front step. One employee comes back with debit machine... price now $295. Because its now 1/4 of the truck.

Your business model falls under DECEPTIVE PRACTICE
Will NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS

This company is terrible. They give you one price over the phone, when the truck arrive the prices triples. Poor customer service, trying to work something out with the company, to have a few items removed from my garage, the lady was very rude and then hang up on me, this is so unprofessional. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

These Men Were Very Rude to me and told me it costs over $500 to move my 3 items, they also appeared to be unintelligent, when I asked questions they were not really able to answer my question, since they aren't very bright. They refused to give me price over the phone so I had to have them come in person and in Person they wouldn't give me total price for one item, and They weren't willing to negotiate with me period, wish I had never called this lousy company. This company only cares about themselves and they are only looking out for themselves. I am an attractive female who can walk outside and ask a man to move something without having to pay $500.

Your experience depends on which team shows up - some are honest but others will lie - give u the estimate then stand staring at u telling u the price went up - a real shakedown be aware. Scary

Tip for consumers:
These are strangers - now they hire anyone so be careful - don’t let them see your kids - do no contact - and have a large male friend with you if you are female, frail, or infirmef

Customer Service was not helpful. They had no authority and told us wait 24 hours. They didn't seem to be able to look at their system and tell who did what. They are the worst.
