Used this mover on the strength of a friend being happy with a fast short move. Then I had my stuff…read morein storage in Kamloops for 6 months.
Several things I was unhappy with. First, no ability to do what they said they would do. Times were never firm, even when I texted to be sure, right before coming to the storage, as requested. Got there and he asked me to wait 20 minutes because boss called a meeting suddenly. Just no. I already arranged the time in the way you wanted, Jas. Pretty much every time it was like this - incomplete/wrong information.
Even the first time it was like that. "Come to our location and I'll let you in." No sign, didn't tell me I had to go to the back. I end up wandering around and asking the people in the other stores nearby. Just constant time-wasting.
The first group of guys that moved my stuff out were pretty good except they were extremely late and didn't bother to notify me for iirc a couple hours. One of them spoke decent English, which helped. When my stuff was later moved, there were only two guys, neither of whom were adequate in English. One of them carried my lamp with a heavy base at an angle and destroyed it. Jas claimed the bolt on the bottom just needed tightening. Wrong. It's garbage now. He offered some other weird lamp as an option, but I need my tall standing lamp that takes no space, not a big boxy thing at desk height, so I didn't take up that offer.
Finally, I was paying storage monthly. That was the contract. Then, at the end of the period, suddenly I'm charged 750. This really sucked as I had just bought a condo and money was tight. As usual, he didn't do what he said he'd do, ie charge monthly, and screwed me over that way at the last minute. I moved out on the 7th of the month and he wouldn't even give me a partial discount for that month to make up for the nonsense of the last-minute withdrawal.
Not intentionally corrupt, just incapable of organizing time, doing what he said he'd do, or hiring people with adequate English. I thought it was going to be okay, till it all got screwed up in the last week. We had set a moving time, as required by my condo that has to plan around it, and then at the very last minute, same day or night before he wanted to change it to next day.
Save yourself the hassle and pick another mover!!
Edit: You can see in the pics, the flange was damaged and is now completely broken because I moved it to try and fix it. When I lifted it vertically, the base was wobbling/rocking because it had been damaged by the mover. Never wobbled before.
