DCWP filed a lawsuit in New York County Supreme Court against Dorm2Dorm LLC, a moving and storage company that targets New York City area college students.

DCWP’s complaint charges that Dorm2Dorm:

  • Failed to provide the services consumers paid for;
  • Made late pickups and deliveries; 
  • Misplaced possessions; 
  • Damaged possessions; and 
  • Deceived consumers with false promises of a 25% "instant rebate."

If you used Dorm2Dorm and believe the company deceived you, you can file a complaint with DCWP.

DCWP’s lawsuit seeks restitution for consumers.

The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) does not accept reports of rude employees. Report this type of complaint to the business.
