Alex Beckers and his wife, Gina, moved from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore., in November two of the millions of Americans who have chosen to relocate amid the pandemic.
However, much of the Beckerses’ stuff still hasn’t joined them, including a computer, furniture, sensitive documents and photo albums.
And they say the Northridge, Calif., moving company that has their possessions and is seeking thousands of dollars in extra cash keeps giving them the runaround.
