Long-distance move from Quebec to Ontario

Quebec to Ontario move

First off, the actual movers (3 guys) were polite, hard workers but inexperienced. Prior to the November 23 move, in October 2023 I spent a few hours on the phone with the company going room by room in my 3 bedrooms bungalow in Quebec, and also outside and through the shed to list all my furniture and approximate number of boxes. Truck arrived on the day at least 4 hours later than was arranged so moving all the stuff was done at night, until close to midnight. Turned out the truck they had was too small and we had to leave a lot behind, stored in the new owners shed (thankfully they were super cool about it). The movers did not use blanket to wrap or strap to move the appliances and those got dents and large scratches, and at one point they dropped the fridge on the back door of the house, which left a pretty deep long dent as well. I had paid $300 for 2 "TV packs" which turned out to be cardboard put over the front and back of the TVs with shrink wrap - thankfully no damage to the TVs but $300 for cardboard? Could have done it myself, as I had carefully protected and wrapped all the mirrors, paintings and fragile items already. Delivery in Ontario was with 2 guys only; got scratches on the freshly varnished wood floor - no protection was used by the movers. The pickup and delivery of items left behind in Quebec was done 3 weeks later for an extra $500; I had already paid $6500 and I was not pleased about that considering the mistake was theirs in the first place for using the wrong truck size, but they would not deliver my furniture otherwise so, kind of no choice there...Moving is always super stressful; last thing you need is any kind of issue. Hope this review helps save someone extra aggravation :)

Trauma

I was quoted a firm price and AFTER my belongings were on the truck, I was told that I had to pay $1200 more. They showed up late in the day. Fortunately I was able to scrounge the money to pay them - the fellow on the phone tried to talk me into paying cash - it was too late in the day for me to go to a bank.

Several of my items were damaged. I’m just glad it was over and I narrowly escaped without having my belongings being held hostage.

Local move within Quebec

COMPLETE DISASTER!

The movers showed up 5 hours late in Ottawa for a move to Montreal. They charged a higher load weight without using a scale saying "he could tell with his eyes" (there were no appliances and it was a one bedroom condo. Our contract was for same day service from ottawa to montreal. When they were done loading the truck we confirmed they going to the new address, but instead of meeting us there in two hours, they continued to do other moves with our stuff in the truck...loading and unloading some of the bigger items to make room...our same day move turned into more than 48 hours later with the movers finally showing up two days later at midnight to unload in the rain with nothing covered...a white couch stained and torn beyond repair, boxes breaking and soaking wet. not a single piece of furniture or art made it through the move without damage.
