Franks Express publicly responded to Burgess in July, asserting that he had interacted with an imposter, rather than one of their employees.
But will Burgess use their services again? It’s not likely: in the meantime, he has received a slew of offers from competing moving companies ever-so-happy to move his shit. He has also determined how best to articulate his wishes when hiring professional assistance.
