Sorry for the long review but my move with Eurmove was just a big adventure that I had to share.
I went with Eurmove based on the Yelp reviews I read. I ended up closing on my house a lot earlier than expected so I was in a bit of a pinch. I called Dawda at the beginning of the week to see if he had some availability on the weekend. He did, so I got a quote from him. I ended up deciding to go with a 3 man crew for a 1 Br apartment. I also decided to go with a mattress bag on his recommendation because I knew it was important to keep the mattress clean.
Dawda emailed me back with a written quote and to my surprise, the price was different than what he initially quoted me on the phone. I asked him about it and after a little bit, he said he would honour the price we agreed upon in the phone. My move was scheduled for that Saturday.
Moving day comes around, and I receive a call from Dawda stating that his truck broke down. He is going to try and find another truck and call me back. Waited a few more hours and spoke with Dawda again. Still can't find a truck. It was getting later in the afternoon, still no truck. Dawda called and said he wasn't going to be able to move me today. He would have to do it Monday. I asked him, to make up for the fact that he couldn't show up on the move date, if we could make a stop down the road on Monday after his crew was done packing up my stuff to a friend's place to pick up a washer and dryer. Dawda was more than happy to accommodate.
2nd moving day comes around. First, the truck and crew showed up about an hour or so late. Secondly, only 2 guys hopped out of the truck instead of 3. Called Dawda, and he said one of the guys didn't show up. Okay...
Crew started moving boxes and furniture. Guys wrapped my mattress in a few blankets, and cling wrap (for $10, I was expecting a bag similar to the ones that comes with the mattress to protect it). I asked the guys about the mattress bag, they said "it's going to be fine"
Ended up taking about 4 hours or so to finish packing the truck. My wife and I ended up helping at the very end just because the guys looked super tired and it was taking much longer than expected. Hence why I wanted a 3 man crew in the first place.
Drove to my friends to pick up the washer and dryer, and headed to my new house. Dawda showed up and introduced himself. He helped with unloading the truck. He was very friendly and was definitely not afraid to work. Nothing ended up broken (as far as I know - haven't unpacked everything yet)
Then it came down to talking about the cost for the move. He stated he would charge me the 2 man rate. Which basically negated the agreed upon price I initially mentioned as it ended up being (I forgot the exact pricing but obviously the less you buy, the more it will cost per hour) 230 or so for 2 hours instead of 250 for 3. He then charged me the standard per hour rate after that and charged me the 3 man per hour rate for when he showed up and helped. Don't think he charged me for the mattress bag, so I'm assuming that the blankets and cling wrap weren't considered it, which is fine I guess. But it definitely ended up being a little more than what I had estimated in my head, but I was just too exhausted to argue about it.
I honestly felt the move would've taken less time if I had 3 guys move my stuff like I wanted in the first place. I believe Dawda is an honest and genuine guy that's just trying to run a small business so I don't fault him for that. It was just the situation I guess.
In conclusion, Dawda and his crew are very hard working, friendly, and did a good job. Dawda was willing to work with me to make up for not meeting certain expectations. I would say his price was comparative to other quotes I got. Was it the worst experience I have had with movers? No. Was it the most amazing? No. It was ultimately an okay experience. read more
