One of the issues was my suits and an extra dress uniform I have that showed up with mildew growing on them. The company offered $75 for professional cleaning, but those suits and uniform have been in their box waiting for the moving company to complete the claim before I do anything with them. <br /><br />Personally I dont want to wear these suits again, regardless if they have been professionally cleaned. What are your thoughts?

But I think they should be allowed to try cleaning it first.

I would rather get a new set at their expense. Even if they clean it mildew decomposes the material. Even if cleaned it had it's impact on them. For that I wouldn't do anything with them. And who is to say that the cleaning is effective enough.<br /><br />Mold digests whatever material it's growing on so long term mold growth will destroy clothing. As mold grows larger it will also leave a greater stain on your clothing which can be difficult to remove and the clothes will smell.

I moved 3x in 2 years so was very familiar with my weight, including Pro-gear. The third move was several thousand pounds heavier (according to the shipper) than my previous ones.<br />Others who moved at the same time had similar issues, but they didn't have the recent previous moves to compare with.<br />Seemed that moving company over weighed in order to get more money from the govt (and then me!).<br />Know your weight, verify the bill of lading, and double check everything!
