I used this company when moving from my home in Port Credit to a 1-bed in Bloor West Village for September 1 -- Labour Day weekend!!!
I was a little worried about the fact that they were able to accommodate us for a last-minute move, but those worries were needless.
We had 2 guys and 1 16ft truck arrive right on time and ready to go. They loaded everything up quickly and efficiently, and were courteous (though not enthusiastic, unlike some of the reputable companies).
At the other end, they managed to get my 30+ year old oversized 3-seater couch through the narrow stairway and corner without any damage whatsoever to either the couch or the walls!
Everything was in the exact same condition coming out as it was going in, despite the truck only being half-full (so things could shift a lot on the curvy roads).
All-in-all, the move took about 2.5 hours, which was ONE AND A HALF HOURS LESS THAN QUOTED!!!
The price was steep compared to those advertised on Craigslist, but it was worth it since I didn't have to worry about scams. They offered a student discount as well.
There were some minor problems to consider if you're looking at hiring these guys:
- they absolutely reek of cigarettes. The truck was perfectly clean, and no smell lingered anywhere or on anything, but my nose complained. One benefit: any B.O. was completely masked!
- a driving charge from Rexdale to Port Credit -- I'm not sure if this is a typical fee or not...
- They did grumble a bit. I was a bit disappointed about that; if I hadn't already been researching movers and finding rave reviews about people who were enthusiastic and never complained, I don't think it would have bothered me one bit -- after all, think about how much work they're doing! Any complaints were in good humour, though!
- Be sure to have a couple of cups handy, as they'll definitely need water. Not unreasonable at all. The part that concerned me was the way one guy was wheezing and huffing at the end; I was panicked thinking about him having a heart attack! They're not the youngest guys...
- Approximate cost of services:
- $300.00
