Hi there! I'm sorry if this is not the place to post but I have no clue how to proceed. I hired a small moving LLC in the NYC/NY area to help me move- I have found out now that they are not licensed. My candle warmer broke the day of the move and I was told I would be compensated, and then the owner got weird when I brought it up, saying I told the driver to throw it out. I told them to throw it out because... it broke. LOL! Then, 4 days after I moved, I turned on my TV and saw that it had an interior crack that was causing the screen to flicker and be borderline unwatchable. I brought this up as well and asked to be compensated. I was told since I did not report it in 48 hours, I could not be compensated and the best they could do was bring me their office TV as a replacement.

Important things to note:

1. I never signed any contract and the 48 hour policy was not clearly listed ANYWHERE on their promotions or website. I'm pretty sure 48 hours is not the standard lol.
2. They are now claiming to not be a moving company and be just a guy with a van.
3. The TV they offered is smaller and is not a Roku TV like my damaged one. I accepted their offer, they said they would bring it on Saturday, and no one showed up. I now just want my money back for a new TV.

What are my options here? I'm seriously so angry and I'm ready to go to small claims court if necessary.

UPDATE: they just told me they would be willing to give me $100 for the damages to the candle warmer and TV. Both items cost over 200 together. I don't think I will take this offer.

My mom is turning 56 this year and her long time boyfriend (M 59) reached out to me to ask what show we should go see on Broadway for her birthday. My birthday was last week, so I was included in the plan and was going to receive a ticket as well. My mom is pretty conservative and so is her boyfriend, but she likes shows like Rent, Cats, and used to do drag bingo with me. I see shows about once a year on Broadway, and last time I went with my mom I expressed wanting to see Death Becomes Her, to which she responded that she would look for a good deal on seats. She also mentioned wanting to see the Lost Boys during this time, and we floated between seeing the two.

I suggested Death Becomes Her to her boyfriend, mainly since it closes next month, and he purchased some nice seats. My mom finds out and gets super mad at me because she apparently didn't want to see the show at all. I apologize, but reassure her it would still be fun, as we have been to some really horrible shows in the past and still had a good laugh. The conversation ends and I head to a concert with my friend. In the middle of my concert, my mom starts spam messaging me that the show is "too woke" and "features drag," citing a playbill article written on the show about how queer people love Death Becomes Her. She hates drag and does not want to go, despite the show being about 2 straight women. The language she used was foul and I honestly don't even want to go anymore. (she said she would rather bathe in ice water than go) Her and her boyfriend are blaming me and acting like I did this purposefully because they are conservative. There are no drag queens in the show BTW. I told both of them I will not be attending her birthday this year.

My mom and I have floated the idea of seeing DBH for about 6 months, I mainly recommended it because it is leaving and Lost Boys would be around longer. I legit thought this would be fine because I have sat next to her as we looked for tickets, she seemed down and interested. I see whatever shows she decides to buy for us, including the Great Gatsby and a ton of West End shows she booked when we were in England. I usually do not pick shows for us because I am not a huge musical person.
