Moving only 5Km across town

This company came highly recommended by my Real estate Agent. We booked the move for a 3 bedroom home, 3 movers for $90/hour.

They arrived at 9:30am, (but charged me from 9:15). We had most things already disassembled and boxed. The men were pleasant. They didn't damage anything, but keep in mind we moved all our own mirrors and pictures ourselves.

They were not as fast or efficient as I thought they could be. One man stayed mostly on the truck packing it and the other two men worked to bring the items to the truck. I thought more than once that they were just trying to drag out the day to get the most pay. Just my person opinion, but even my children commented on it several times.

I wasn't happy when they asked me to go buy them lunch, how could I say no when they had my personal possessions in their hands.

I wanted the job to speed up so I told them to only take the large items that would require 2 or more people to the basement. Just leave everything else in the garage. Plus not everything fit in the truck for a 3 bedroom home. We still had tons of stuff left in our garage and home. We've been making several van loads back and forth for days to bring what wouldn't fit in the moving van.

I wouldn't hire them again. The men were pleasant. They kept telling me that I'd save the tax if I paid cash, so don't use plastic like I did. I had to call back to get a receipt too.

Good Luck in choosing your mover.

Company Response

please keep in mind our men cannot rush moves in the winter due to icy conditions. You had a full 35 ft truck load of furniture and boxes. $1100 equals to 5.5 hours loading and 5.5 hours unloading which is standard for this truck size and 3 men. If im not mistaken you called a few days later and we refunded you a portion of your move because you were not satisfied.

a careful move requires time. rush jobs create damage.
