When I moved from one area of GTA to another area, that was my first move after moving to Canada. The move was so bitter, that I don't recommend any one to hire any mover.
I know not all the movers same, I would say 90 % mover are professional and give you a very good service.
Let me share what happened with me. I contacted the movers they came and gave me quote, I found it reasonable and gave them the contract to move. The day of moving they came and load everything in the truck. Now when we reached at my new location, one of the guy called his boss and then came and told me that your moving took more time than usually it takes so I need to pay another $150 on top of what we decided, if I refused to pay they are not going to unload anything from their truck.
I was so furious, but no option other than paying them extra and start unpacking my stuff and start living leaving behind bitter and ripping off experience from the mover I hire and I paid.
Moving is a big job and hiring the right movers can make the difference between a stressful ordeal or a hassle-free move. Consumers can protect themselves and minimize potential problems and headaches by following a few easy tips:
- Get three references from every mover you consider for the job and check them thoroughly.
- Don't hire the first mover who gives you a quote. Get written estimates from three different movers.
- Reputable movers should inspect your furnishings to conform the approximate volume or weight in order to provide a proper quote. Avoid dealing with someone who wants to skip the inspection or give you a quote over the phone.
- Sign a detailed written agreement with the mover, but first read it carefully. Understand what is included and what is not. Make sure you know who is responsible for damage or loss.
- Keep the agreement handy. You may need to refer to it if there is a disagreement on the day of the move or when you receive the bill.
