BEWARE. I hired them to store my household goods for 5 months in a so called heated warehouse. When…read moremy goods were restored to me, they had obviously been stored outside in a leaky container. Everything I owned was sodden and covered with black mold, ruined books, ruined original artwork, moldy carpets and clothing. EVERYTHING had to be washed and cleaned, some things professionally. Some of my furniture was gouged. Not only that but many of my treasured items were missing, presumed stolen....gifts from my deceased parents, kitchenware, art work, a shelving unit, gardening tools, the list goes on. I was still finding out after a year things I was missing. I would NEVER hire this company in one million years. Only got a third of my costs through small claims. BEWARE. I wish I had read these before I ever hired them.

They had stored my stuff outside in a leaking c-can. EVERYTHING I owned had to be washed. Every spoon, sock, book, everything. Ruined artwork, warped books, and worst of all a whole load of missing items, that can never be replaced. Gifts from my deceased mother and old friends, missing artwork, kitchen ware, shelving unit, garden tools, etc. I was still discovering missing items over a year later. Had to take them to small claims court. It was an absolute NIGHTMARE. BEWARE.

Not just rain that makes you consider moving to higher ground, but wind that was knocking out the power. Along comes two young gentlemen from Take A Load Off Moving. You sort of brace yourself for the worst but boy was I wrong. These two fellows got to work right away and had me out of the old place in an hour less than I had estimated. They worked their tails off. They were both polite, well spoken and professional. What? Movers? Yes! Through all this horrible weather they never complained or stopped. It was the same at our destination. I highly recommend Take A Load Off Moving and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks Guys!! JannieD

BEWARE is the best advice I can offer after two experiences with TALO…read more This is what I have learned to expect from them: They will be late. On the first move, they were 3 hours late because a driver had called in sick. That can happen, and I thought it forgivable. Two years later on the second move, they were 4 hours and 40 minutes late. Again "a driver called in sick". Apologies were offered on both occasions, but that did nothing to mitigate the exhaustion experience by this senior caused by a 9-hour moving day for a 550 square foot space. They will lose something. On the first move, vacuum cleaner attachments went missing. I didn't notice this until the next day so too late to report. On the second move, two woven baskets and a 3-foot silk plant went missing. This I noticed and reported within an hour of the team leaving but I received only repeated assurances of how important my concern was and how "Our top priority as your go-to home moving company is the protection and safety of your possessions". Nice words, no action. There will be damage to something. On the first move, it was minimal. The leg of a dresser was loosened and bent and the frame of a folding table was slightly bent. On the second move, there was damage to a leg on each of two recliners, a chip out of a wooden kitchen table, and slight damage to the finish of a TV stand. Again, I was far too tired to notice these things before the team left, so too bad for me. The team will be friendly and personable. Fairness demands that I report the good as well as the negative. Justin and Jason were both very pleasant to deal with and are good ambassadors for TALO. This is the first negative review I have ever posted in any circumstance but conscience dictates that I alert unsuspecting potential clients of the pitfalls that I met with on two separate encounters with Take A Load Off Moving Ltd.

I've hired Papa's Moving for our last 2 moves and I can honestly say that the experiences were…read moreawesome. The highlights: Brent was organized and extremely helpful when I called to book; rates and expectations were clearly set out; the move confirmation email arrived quickly; for both moves I got an ETA call from the movers when they were on their way; the movers (Cody both times, and a different crew with him each time but to a man personable, respectful, well-prepared, and professional) were careful and efficient moving our belongings; the bill was exactly as expected; during our first move with Papa's we got both a friendly guide to our new neighbourhood and help re-assembling a lot of finicky furniture (that was a great introduction to Vancouver!). I highly recommend Papa's Moving. The rates are very reasonable and the service is excellent. It also feels good to support a family company of nice, helpful people that seem to genuinely care about making your move as quick and easy as possible. On my most recent move the guys even gave me a frozen water bottle- it might not sound like much, but I felt like they were looking after my things and me during the move. That feeling is priceless during stressful moving times.

Everything seems normal. The day of they are late. Cody calls at 930am saying they cant come and they have no team, asks if they can come the next day at 9. Sure. I do some juggling of tasks. Next day, NOTHING. No message, NO Call, No reaching out. GHOSTED. Still calling 2 days later and nothing. Left my family scrambling to find fine a last minute moving company that can show up same day. Thankfully we did but it ended up costing us probably an extra 300 to 500 dollars. Stay away DO NOT USE

Try DOUBLE the rate for the move out...estimated at 6 hours and took 11.25. Try a move in crew that apparently could not read and left clearly marked FRAGILE boxes under tool boxes in the garage. Or boxes marked KITCHEN in the garage. Or bookshelves left at odd angles and not up against the walls. Add to that being verbally threatened by the guy in charge and you may understand why in my opinion you should stay clear of this company. I paid way less 3 years ago to have 2 5 ton trucks move me over here from Maple Ridge.
