Reviews
Neil West was a great quarterback throughout including the long distance estimate by video/phone (that was brilliant).
The packing staff Neil arranged were on time and very efficient while packing, everything very well. Great conversations too.
The moving truck crew headed by Tamara & Rob (Atlas Canada) were absolutely awesome, helpful and had a great sense of humor! They also delivered so fast that I'm pretty sure that truck only has two speeds - stop and zoom, they almost beat us back to Cole Harbour... so they drive fast or Air Canada is a little slow, I'm guessing it's a little of A and little of B LoL.
π Thank you all for a great move! π

•They start charging from the moment they leave their warehouse in Dartmouth. Depending on where you live/traffic that’s quite the charge before they even arrive at your door, when I booked they charged $229 per hour + tax, might be more now.
•Double check the number of movers quoted on the estimate will be the number of movers showing up on the day. I was quoted a price for 4 movers, but only 3 showed up for the first half of the move. Which meant the move took longer. And again, they charge by the hour.
•Ask to see paperwork literally the second the movers arrive. I didn’t see any paperwork throughout my move, which resulted in hundreds of dollars of charges for incorrect timings, and boxes and materials that weren’t used but were listed on my invoice. It took months to have these charges even partly corrected.
•Ask for your invoice ASAP. I didn’t see an invoice until I noticed my credit card had been charged and had to ask the office staff send it to me. This was at least a month after the move, when we were right in the middle of disputing several issues. It was very frustrating to be charged when I had no idea what the total was, or the breakdown of the charge.
•My movers only used furniture wrap on maybe 2% of my furniture, even though the company promises to wrap all wooden and leather items, so several wooden items got scratched. Ask them to wrap everything you care about.
•If you’re having furniture disassembled/reassembled watch the movers do this on both ends. I only had 2 beds that required this service and both were ridiculously poorly reassembled. Part of a bed frame was literally left on the floor and the mattress put on top of it because they lost the screws needed to secure things in place and never mentioned it. Other screws were simply placed in place, and not screwed in. They also used my own tools, they did not have their own.
•Essentially watch the movers do literally everything and make sure it’s documented, because if you have to start emailing the office it took me anywhere between 3-15 business days to receive any kind of response to each email. And it is very difficult to get them to acknowledge your issues, if you mention 5 things, they will maybe respond to 2. I had to get my credit card company involved to get any kind of actual resolution and am currently waiting for a response to an email sent in December 2022.
•If anything goes wrong (scratched furniture, missing items, furniture not reassembled properly) you will have to pay a $100 deductible before they will do anything at all. This is for them to ‘process the insurance claim’, except they send a repair man to see if things can be repaired before they file an insurance claim. But they won’t send their repair guy until you pay the $100. So you have to pay $100 for their repair guy to come and fix things their movers broke, even if they never file an insurance claim.
•I made assumptions about this company based on other reviews here, and when things went wrong, I assumed my issues would be dealt with efficiently and effectively because of this company’s reputation. My experience with this company did not match up with the other reviews, nor the prices this company charges.Read more
