An absolute nightmare
Hux.com used to specialize in housecleaning services. They were the Uber of housecleaning, but have now spread themselves thin by taking on handyman services and other fields. I had a regular housekeeper for some time in 2016-17, but then did not need their services for a few years. Before moving this month, I decided to hire a housekeeper to prepare my new home for move in. I went to Hux.com because service with my previous provider was excellent, and the Hux website is convenient and easy to use. Unfortunately, Hux.com is not what it used to be though. I booked a provider, explained that service would need to be complete by a certain time because movers would arrive to unload the truck with my possessions. I assumed everything was ok because I received no communication from Hux or the provider. Just a text saying that she would be late and a text when she arrived. Upon arriving at the property, I discovered the provider was not finished cleaning. No problem. I asked her to move her car so the movers could pull the truck in. She refused. Then she became irrate and said she could not continue to clean if other contractors were present. I asked her to stay and finish the job. She refused and mouthed off on her way out. She then sat in my driveway for ten minutes while the movers stared her down, waiting to back the truck in. She eventually peeled out in her car, nearly taking mailboxes and light posts with her. I thought she was going to crash into one of the houses. She may or may not have been high on an illicit substance.
That morning (a Saturday) I reported the incident to Hux and requested that the provider be blocked from accessing my personal information. She had my door code. I also asked for a refund. The cleaning was only about 30% finished when the provider lost her cool and left. Hux took three days - despite my insistence that the provider posed a safety concern (I believe she may return uninvited due to her erratic behavior) - to get back with me. They sided with the crazy housekeeper who didn't even clean my home over me, a loyal customer. Hux was patronizing in their communication and offered little in the way of compensation for the inconvenience. I posted a review of the provider to warn others of her behavior, but Hux took the review down. The company is less than ethical, I would look elsewhere to hire a housekeeper or handyman so you don't end up in the situation I am - paying for a service you never received, and added stress on the day of your move.
