Told me 300 at first , he asked ,” 300 is cool” I said sure . After he was done they said because there trailer was full that it means that the price has to go up to $400 . I don’t tell people how to charge but at the same time that seemed a bit much. But just know if there little trailer is full that’s an automatic 400 according to the worker or owner or whoever it was.

Response from the owner · Edited a year ago

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Ab! We are sorry to hear there was confusion about the final price. Our estimates are based on the expected load size, but the final cost depends on the actual volume removed. We understand how this can be frustrating and will work to make our pricing process clearer. We hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide a transparent and positive junk removal experience in Selma CA.
