Beware... engagement ring missing after service. I hired Remoov based on their great reviews to remove some furniture as I was moving out of my apartment in San Francisco. The service itself went okay, they asked if they could come earlier than I was expecting them so I was in a bit of a rush to get the items ready, and that morning, I was also sick. Normally I remove all valuables before a service, but in the chaos, I didn't put on my engagement ring that morning, which ended up being a HUGE mistake. I know exactly where the ring was, in a dish in the upstairs bathroom (an area where the workers were not supposed to go into), but they were disassembling and removing a bed in the room next to it. After they left, I went back into the bathroom and the ring was gone, which sent me into a full-on panic attack and caused a massive amount of distress over the next few days as I tried to find it. I contacted Remoov several times, tried to get in contact with the workers directly, and was told that they had complete trust in the workers and there was no way they could have taken it. I would never make this claim lightly. But my objective conclusion -- which I spoke to the manager about multiple times -- is that the ring was taken. The workers told him that they did not enter either of my bathrooms, but in one of them, the toilet seat was up (I'm a woman who lives alone), and there was no one else in the apartment except me and them since the ring was last in the place I left it. The ring couldn't have fallen somewhere I couldn't see it, because I was moving out so there was no furniture anywhere else. Despite that I searched for 48 hours, had a professional with a metal detector go through every nook, had multiple family members come over to look, went through every trash bag that was in the apartment, moved every single item out of the apartment, and went to their warehouse to check the cracks of sofa. Nothing could have come out of the apartment that I did not see. That, plus the fact that one of them wasn't truthful about the bathroom, makes that the only possibility. Luis, the manager was sympathetic but declined to give a partial/full refund, said that I couldn't prove that they were in the bathroom (not addressing the fact that the toilet seat was up and I'm a woman who lives alone - other than "there might have been other people in the apartment") and simply reinforced that he trusted his workers. I understood his point of view, but don't think they did enough to investigate this based on what I told them, they just kept insisting that the workers were trustworthy, telling me about their backgrounds, and that they never had an incident reported. I had to file a police report, and no longer have one of the most meaningful possessions I owned. Writing this review in hopes this doesn't happen to anyone else.
