moving from Sooke, BC to Calgary, AB

Overall my experience with this company is very good, and from my experience everybody has something to learn.
The company showed a very quick initial response to my request for quote, and was very flexible and polite.
At pickup I was offered the option to get extra packing for my large TV, I asked if it is mandatory, the answer was no, so I declined the offer.
During transportation my TV was badly damaged.
After delivery I realized that the contract had no provision for compensation for such an incident, once I declined the option for extra packing. Still I made a claim, customer support was excellent, and accepted to pay $500 for the damaged TV above the contract stipulations and above the contract deductible.
Also the company was very quick to accept that I was charged $100 in excess, and agreed immediately to return that as well.
Now in short here are the lessons we home owners learn:
- accept and even require extra packing for all fragile items like TV, don't rely on the default blankets
- if an accident happens, make a claim with the company and wait for completion before going to BBB and here
And here are the lessons the company has to learn:
- require extra packing for fragile items like a large TV, don't make it optional.
- explain clearly to clients that default blankets are not meant to be used for fragile items, what the consequences would be if the items are transported without extra packing

My experience with this company is still mixed.
Very quick initial response to my request for quote, and polite.
However during transportation I incurred heavy loss.
Now customer support is excellent, still it started with a delay which confused me.
Now I am waiting for the completion of the claim processing.
For now I rate my experience to 4, will update it accordingly once I have the company final decision to my claim.

I incurred damages as follows:
Large plasma TV is badly damaged, with one point where it shows severely hit by a pointed object or bullet, and two cracks all in the screen.
The senior moving specialist communicated to me by email the total cost of $3200 including taxes, while at delivery I was charged more than $3300.
I was promised to be given a scale receipt but not received it so far.
Now I am waiting for a resolution, will update this post when a final decision is made.
