Okanagan Packing & Moving

Nol reviewed my house 6 weeks before my move but when he came on moving day he had a Budget Rental truck and it was too small. He left 1/4 of my things behind. He didn't want to take the bottom of my bed because it took up too much room but I said he had to take it. I told his assistant that my bedroom rug had to go down first before the bed in the new place but they didn't even take the rug so I had to donate a $1000 rug to a thrift store. Nol kept saying it's my fault because I have too much stuff! He left all my storage shelves and end tables so at my new place I had nowhere to put things, also the 4 drawers that fit under my bed, one of which was the cat's bed. Most of my kitchen things were left behind, all my coats and most of my clothes., and chairs etc.

He was upset that i didn't pay him the balance but I told him I'd pay the rest when he brings the rest of my things. He kept complaining I didn't appreciate him enough! BTW, my brother-in-law helped with the move into my new place so he had an unpaid full time helper!

He was supposed to meet with my friend 4 days later at the old place to assess what needed to be brought but I cancelled it because I didn't have time to check back to decide. For sure the bedroom rug couldn't come now and I was tied up trying to deal with things here with no storage to put things and coping without needed supplies.

He went into a rage and sent an email saying he was all set to see the rest of my stuff but I cancelled that! So then he was so put off that he cancelled talking to me anymore. He said it was real SHITTY to not just pay what was owing and to hold as ransom! ...How dare I do that! I had zero clue! He said I was the worst! That I cared zero about others and was very selfish!

He wished he never had helped and someone else came in and wrecked my stuff etc etc! Darn it. What could have been!

All all his helpers think I am a piece of crap please know.

This is not a professional person. No way could I have him deliver the rest of my stuff after a message like THAT! He would damage it or hold me ransom for whatever he wanted .It took me 6 weeks to find another mover who would take a small job at a reasonable cost. Nol lost $1000 for work he didn't do.... it ended up costing me another $2400.

I found out later that HE IS OBLIGATED BY LAW TO DELIVER THE REST OF MY THINGS.

I found another similar review AFTERWARD, be sure to check around.

I had sent email requests for quotes. Nol, sent a note back that so honest, I really liked it. He and his team helped me with my move from house to condo. They were very efficient, clean, polite, respectful and made the whole process smooth without incident. The fee was reasonable and not over the top. I enjoyed working with Nol and his team, so much so that I hired them to move my office. Again, very respectful and efficient. They weren't expecting me to have so much stuff in the office, but the accommodated and made it all work well. The staff enjoyed the friendly bantering and the smooth process they provided. Thank Nol! Will definitely recommend you to everyone!

The movers were great. They seem to come in and get the lady all packed up. Then they came back the next day loaded everything in the truck and went to the new place to unload. Here’s where the problem is. They didn’t tell the lady to meet them there they just unloaded the truck and we’re gonna go back and get their payment, on the Monday this was on a Thursday . The lady in question was a resident at our senior facility that I have no personal relationship with but I found this company through phoning around to try and find somebody that was available when she needed it.. long story short she says Furniture wasn’t put in the right spot. She would pay the bill when they came to move the furniture. He wouldn’t go because she called him too late at night and then he posted on my work website and has sent me numerous email saying I should pay the bill and get reimbursed from her but that’s not how it works. I never signed up with him for anything. I told him it was for her right from the beginning. I contacted him originally and he has talked to her numerous times on the phone. Very shady dealings after the fact.

Great company and team! We moved not far but the house we moved into had nothing but stairs and stairs and more stairs. Not one box or piece of furniture could come in the house without tons of stairs. And we had a ton of big furniture. They all worked hard and professional. They arrived on time and worked quickly in the heat and not a scratch to a wall or damage to anything. Great group of guys. Personable and friendly. Price matched the job.Highly recommend them!

We chose Nol and his crew to move us from Kelowna to Victoria based on other's reviews on this site. Nol is super efficient, had the ferry and his hotel booked well ahead, was quick to respond to correspondence, organized the packing of the truck to its maximum potential, was easy to deal with and reasonably priced. He arrived with 3 courteous and hard working young men. Nol and Keith unloaded the entire truck on their own, placing items where requested. Nol even organized the garage contents on the shelves so the chaos wasn't so disruptive. We wouldn't hesitate to use Nol and his crew again. We'd recommend them to you.

Nol and his team met us 15 minutes early, ready to go! They had everything carefully placed in the truck, blanketed as needed, within an hour and a half. They worked hard and consistently used caution with each item placing it thoughtfully where we needed it so we wouldn't have to try to lift it and move it later. They were considerate of the home and made sure everything was moved in carefully. I highly recommend these great guys to help you move into your next home. Very kind, efficient, decent rates. Thank you!
