Beware of Roadway Moving

I recently moved some furniture from my place outside of Ottawa to my brother's place in Toronto. I did a search online and filled in a form that sent my request to a number of movers. The first one to call back was Roadway Moving, aka Roadway Movers aka Move me again (I would suggest they add a "Never" before "Move"). The price was too good to be true and that should have warned me right there. I don't know what possessed me not to do some research on the company, but I guess I was really eager to get rid of the furniture before Christmas.

I don't want to go on too long, but what I will say is that after we had our furniture moved and before the furniture was delivered, the price increase was close to 5 times the original quote - from about $700 with tax to $3200 with tax. The claim from Lauren in accounting was that the movers apparently told me that our furniture was more than 2000 pounds (didn't happen) and that I agreed to go with a price based on a weight of 7000 pounds. My copy of the form says "72" - not sure what that means - maybe the mover started to write 7000 and then changed his mind. I have no idea. But when Lauren sent me the original copy by email, it showed 7000 and the "7" was definitely different than the one on my copy, so someone filled it in later. That began a back and forth with a very nasty Lauren. Eventually I told Lauren that as long as we could pay after the delivery, we would pay the $3200, just to get the furniture. Apparently that wasn't good enough - she demanded payment ahead and eventually she hiked the price up to $5450.

I contacted BBB, CAM and provincial and federal fraud organizations. CAM referred us to a terrific lawyer and we were starting a process, but eventually we managed to settle with Mindy (who may or may not have been Lauren - guess I'll never know now) on $3200 paid in advance. I figured if we never heard from them again, we'd already started a legal process and would just carry on with it.

As it was, the movers brought the furniture a couple of days after we paid them their hostage money. My sister-in-law told me that the movers were polite and the furniture was okay, except for a couple inconsequential items.

I know from the lawyer that there are many suits proceeding against this company.

Taking them to court!

This company is a scam! They quoted us 600$ and it cost us $1600. They refused to give us our stuff unless we paid in full by etransfer. They admitted on camera that they did not weigh our items. We had hardly anything and they said it weighed 3850 pounds. PLEASE do not use this company EVER! If I could give no stars I would..

Amazing Job!!

The men that showed up to do the move were very experienced and move the furniture with care. They did not damage break or steal a single item. The price we agreed on was the price I paid and not a cent more. I hope other customers have the same experience I did I’m a very happy customer.

What a total Shyte Show!

These people are black mailers and frauds! Still dealing with them as they are currently trying to extort more money from us as of March 2nd, 2022! From the minute the movers arrived and realized it was truly a minimum job, they were creating excuses to add fees!

1. They arrived 4 1/2 hours late. Expected time I was given was 9 am. They did not arrive till 1:30 pm.

2. They would not pull their truck up to my front door because of low hanging white pine/cedar tree branches, which were cut to 23/24 feet clearance this past fall. Thus adding a 450 dollar long walk charge.

3. When we moved in to the house in 2020, the moving company at the time weighed every belonging we had at 1985lbs. In the two years since our only big ticket item purchased was a treadmill that is roughly 200lbs. We were in a 900 sq/foot cottage home, I had roughly 30 items for transport and weighed 3 or 4 of the smaller items myself to make sure I was given them a very good rough estimate. I told the total weight would be 1000/1350 lbs because we moved everything else ourselves. When the movers arrived the lead hand said it would be much more than the provided quote! He immediately claimed my 30 items would be close to 3500lbs. Thus that means that even with us throwing out 1/4 of our old stuff while adding a 200lbs treadmill my total weight ballooned by almost double for only roughly 30 items! When they finished packing my stuff into their van which I was told by the sales lady (They are not) the lead hand pressured me under duress to sign and initial for transport on my last available day to move out! He quoted 3900lbs. So in just over 2 years 1/4 of my stuff total weight ballooned by double it's weight for a total move 2 years prior! Hmmm

4. We've now not heard from them in over 24 hours as they are holding our current belongings for going on 3 days. They've decided to take the liberty of adding a $500 dollar a day storage fee plus a $250 dollar offloading fee! Yet I never responded to their electronic e-mail to agree to those terms. This should have been a 1 day 100km move!

5. The accounts department lady by the name of Lauren has changed her story three times now while trying to put the onus of her bad business on me. All three times I've spoken to her, I've had her on speaker phone and have witnesses to her ever changing story about the workers. Most impressive is she claimed the workers feared for their safety while in my presence, yet they were in so much fear that they came without cigarettes and asked me for some while they were on their break, I gave them a third of a carton to be nice!

6. We have hired a Lawyer and spoken to both the OPP and the Consumers Protection Agency who will also be providing us with assistance as many of the codes written to protect the consumer were broken by many of the employees at this company. I've also started an internet search online for problems others have had with this particular company, within the last 8 hours I've met a dozen or so clients that had just as horrible and continuing experience as myself and my partner.

In closing by the time I'm done they'll be paying me to hush up!

My advice, stay as far away from this extortionist, blackmail, egotistical, lying, scamming, cheating company as you can!

Sincerely,

JCM

Good job!

These guys were awesome. They were adorable, worked quickly, effectively, and didn't charge me a cent over the time they worked. They were so lovely, and they wrapped up all of my furniture so that nothing would get scratched or dirty. Amazing. I've already recommended Road Way Moving to a friend who is moving in a few weeks. I will hire these guys!!

RIP OFF! DO NOT HIRE

We were given a verbal estimate of $675.00 via phone by Roadway Moving to move our furniture from Dunsford to Havelock ON (approximately 110 km). We booked for February 28, 2022 for our things to be picked up at our old house and moved to our new house that same day. We paid a $200.00 deposit. On the 28th, problems began to accumulate. First the movers refused to bring the truck down our driveway in Dunsford citing the truck would touch tree branches, so they parked at the road and said they would charge us a long walk fee of 450.00. We do not believe this to be valid as the trees are very high and a bigger moving truck came down the driveway 2 years ago. Then, once all our furniture and items were locked in their truck, the driver forced me to sign a contract under duress, and said they would not deliver our things unless we paid immediately. We did not have time to tally up the invoice on the spot (no total was written in), but the invoice, including the long walk fee totals $1495.00. They have been holding our things in storage since Feb 28, 2022 and are now demanding $3600.00 and for us to sign a legal release in their favour before they will return our things. We are not agreeing. We believe this is unfair and very one sided in their favour. They made a false representation about their fee estimate and tried to blackmail us, pressuring us. They have grossly overestimated the weight of our items and have shown NO PROOF that items were actually scaled. Lauren from Accounting and Claims is an absolute nightmare to speak with, horribly rude and constantly talking over us. She had her number disconnected so we could not call her again. Their paralegal Donna Keuhl misrepresented herself to us over the phone as a lawyer when she is not. They still have our things and we are not stopping until justice is done. NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY

Wonderful!!

I had the best and easiest moving experience thanks to Mason and his team. They were so efficient, punctual, and professional! They handled my items with care and I was super impressed by how easy they made moving look! We couldn't be happier with their service and they made moving within FL bearable. We will absolutely use them again.

Worst company to move in/out

If you’re reading this review don’t move with this company.

They broke many furnitures and lost 2 boxes. Also they leave 2 chair that aren’t mine. They don’t care about their clients. It’s been more then 2 months and they didn’t tell me anything. NEVER EVER HIRE THEM.

Everyone I dealt with was helpful, professional and courteous. The drivers went out of their way to meet our schedule and need for placement. The cost was very reasonable for a cross country move.

Buyer beware!!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! So everything seemed to be going well, was told all costs were included in a $750 quote as long as weight wasn't over 1000 lbs. I had to move a one bedroom apartment. I had already given away the living room furniture and packed and moved all of the kitchen and all china/crystal (thank goodness). Well night before delivery was to take place i had to come up with $2300...cash!!! Apparently i agreed to pay for a 5000lb load...i DID NOT. No charges are explained, they refuse to give you an invoice or any kind of document that shows what your charges are for. The "accounting woman" is a pitbull, called me a liar several times when in fact she lied to me several times...i can pay by credit card oh no machines are broken you need cash....you signed at the time of pick up when the movers weighed your weight...um nope no scales...apparently they send pictures and the "accounting girl" comes up with a flat rate...which is $2700 for some antique wooden chairs and tables. Upon inspecting my furniture it looks like rats or mice were running over everything like not one scratch but covered in scratches...and looks like table legs have been chewed!
