This is a toughy -…read more I was under the impression that it was going to be way less expensive. I was quoted twice what I thought (based on conversations prior to the in person estimate). The drivers missed my window and that caused a huge setback for me - and lots of stress. I had left the site and had to return, which they accommodated. When they arrived they were very nice and professional however I was super disappointed by the overcharging tactic or what felt like bait and switch. I absolutely refused to pay their exorbitant fees and negotiated - I got what I wanted but was so disappointed by it. I mean, if you wait until the day of your move you will be overcharged so I suggest you get the estimate in advance I think the business model is great and well executed - just wish it was more honest so people can know what to expect up front The guys did a good job and didn't cause any damage or waste time. It was quick and painless (but I also had all the furniture lined up for them in one room).

The business is a scam. I had a large couch, 1 coffee table and a ceiling fan. Was told $129 to…read moremove the items, which were near the front door and then a range for the space on the truck but that they wouldn't know until it was on the truck. At this point you have no choice but to continue. In end, this cost me $678.00 which is ludicrous, especially for items that can clearly be donated. On site visit for an estimate is inappropriate as I am sure this happens to everyone.....you find out the final price after it is on the truck....not cool. You should be able to get an online quote so you don't feel pressured to make an instant decision. I will be telling every person I possibly can, not to use this company.

While most Markham residents know how to use their blue and green bins, and where to take their…read moreelectronic and household hazardous waste for recycling and proper disposal, many may not know where to dispose large amount of household waste, such as construction materials, tires, furniture, broken appliances, etc.. Through a personal need to dispose large amount of such, I found out the answer is a Transfer Station operated by Miller Waste Management. Located on Rodick Road near the city's electronic and hazardous collection center, the transfer station is a fully functioning waste management facility that opens to public on weekends and some holidays. Public can drive their garbage in residential cars or trucks to the station to dispose the waste for $8/dump, subject to weight and quantity limit. I believe the current limit is 6 bags or 50kg, whichever is larger. If your junk are tires, large appliances, furniture, even large amount of construction materials, the cost is by tonne or by unit. How it works is you drive up to a booth and answer the operator's questions. When your car is next to operator booth, your car is actually sitting on a scale. The operator records the weight of your car. S/he directs you to a drive up to a monstrous sized warehouse that collects garbage and so on. You wait for your turn to drive in and haul the junk out of your car yourself and pile it onto other junk. This is a 100% self serve place, so bring some muscles if your dump is heavy. When done, you drive out following a preset route painted on the ground to the other side of the operator booth onto the scale. Another operator will talk to you. S/he weights your car and tell you the charge. You can pay by cash or credit card (as far as I remember). What I find interesting is that, despite the fee schedule states a bag limit, the people there really care only the weight. So unless your junk is super heavy, the fee is $8 per disposal. For large home appliance, this place charges $26/unit, whereas the City of Markham will collect from your curb at $11/unit. Of course, this wonderful deal has a catch: you need an appointment, and the City only collect once a month from your street. Another note is some of the stuffs that you can dispose here for a fee, the Elgin Mills Community Recycling Center (Elgin Mills and Leslie) will allow you to dispose for free. These stuffs are recyclable. The rest Elgin Mills center will collect for $10, whereas Miller charges $8. Therefore, depending on how willing you are to drive to Elgin Mills Road, and how much and how urgent you must dispose, you can significantly lower the cost. But Miller transfer station is an option when you have too much garbage that you want to be rid of quickly. Plus the City simply doesn't collect large amount of construction materials on regular pick up days.

They worked quickly with zero time wasted, and also took 2 pieces of furniture to my parents place in good time! We are renovating our current home so we needed to move out but we will be sure to call them back when we need to move again!! 110% recommend!! A huge thank you once again Jia Jia! So professional and easy to work with!!

The movers are still doing a great job this time...and I noticed the bill had a tip of 10%, which came up to about $90 for my move. I asked the lead whether they got the tip, to my surprise, he said "no"...so I tipped them...and inquire about the tipping policy...another surprise...the company responded...the tip goes to movers and office staff?????? A mandatory tip going to office staff!?!?!? My thinking is, do these mandatory tips goes toward the hourly rate for the movers? Hope not, but it is for sure something I would be very wary of...
