Toronto Moving Companies: I’m Still Getting Comments [Updated]

I think a huge part of the reason why crappy movers continue to exist (besides the ‘people don’t move that often’ thing) is that moving happens at a time when people are already stressed and stretched financially. Whether you’re trying to come up with first and last while your previous landlord still has your security deposit, or just got hit with two grand more in closing costs than you were expecting, people who are moving rarely have a lot of money going spare. So they look for the cheapest possible method of moving their things, and they end up with thugs.

If there was a legitimate market for higher end moves outside corporate relocations, there would probably be more people operating in that space. But would the prices be more or less than the amount of money the thugs try to extort out of you?

Anon explains it fairly well and when you combine loose laws, with public ignorance, it’s an open door for scammers and even organized crime. Look at the towing industry for example. How many of us have had our vechicles towed and held for ransom unless we pay $200? Turns out there’s no law that says we have to pay. I discovered that in the 90s. I simply called the cops, they showed up, and my car was let go. Sometime later the towing company called me at work and, insisted I had to still pay, and threatened to take me to court if I didn’t, emphasizing “we always win.” — “Fine,” I said. “Take me to court. Otherwise, f**k off.” I never heard from them again.

So, a few years ago, when I read about the Banditos Massacre, and that some of the gang members were tow truck drivers, I thought “Well, there’s a surprise, eh?” And how many people made the connection with Pamela Coburn? Before this happened she was shamed out of her job at City Hall because — *gasp* — she was sleeping with a co-worker. Turns out some begrudged managers, who she recently suspended, decided to get some revenge by exposing her affair, and pointing out her lover was recently promoted by her. But why were the managers suspended in the first place? Well, Pam was Executive Director of Municipal Licensing and Standards, and she was upset they did nothing to protect an enforcement officer who was threatened by a group of tow-truck drivers (and who apparently had connections to a dirty cop). THIS is juicy stuff. But the newspapers only fawned over her sexual misdeeds.

With Pam now gone, it was back to business as usual.

So the laws stay loose because the people who can change things don’t — or can’t.

My guess is there are enough cops and politicians “on the take” that we will never see a change unless the public opens their eyes and demands change.

My strong advise to anybody in toronto, please dont move with this mover even if they move you for free. Their cost per hour may be less but they charge you more by being too slow and careless. The movers are slow, careless. They damaged my furniture, they took enormously long time just to move one very small bedroom. To top it all, they ran off without finishing their job by keeping my stuff outside the apartment elevator. Completely bad treatement and service, they are advertised in RENTERS NewS. The person incharge of this is named Robert. I just saw some people already have bad experience with these movers. I hope nobody again expereinces this….Hope this information spreads and helps people to select trustable movers.

there are instances that there are crappy moving service companies that we might bumped into…

Quick Boy Mover Beware- They load the truck with all your posessions and won’t move until you give them a large deposit (supposedly) $1500 in my case, of which once Bruce added all the hidden extras I got less than $100 back. Unethical practice. He was alos the rudest guy, condesending, pushy and a big bully. No idea what customer service is. And then he wonders why he didn’t get a tip.

My Nightmare moving ordeal with Canway Moving company—the most unprofessional and irresponsible mover in the industry.

1 4 months talk with this company with no problems resolved, now as victims, my husband and I are being totally ignored: no phone call back, no email reply…

2 Massive damages on my furniture

3 Lost coffee table and kitchen tools

4 Empty promises for repairing, left us take 4 days leave of absence from work for nothing—they simply didn’t come…

5 Received threatening call from their employee, saying” you can’t sue us..”

6 Charge rate: $95 dollars per hour in winter time (Jan.), with two green hand movers, who simply with no experience, no training, just started that new job in the same week.

7 One lie after another: 5 year experience is a MUST for Canway Moving movers, according to what they promise on their website….Movers tried to deny the damages that they had caused during horrible moving, saying that those damages were there before moving.. until I informed them that I have all my intact furniture pictures kept, then they had to admit that it was them who cause the damages….

8 Instead of apologizing and trying to solve problems they caused, this company even accusing us of having cheap furniture which were too easy to cause the damages…..

Despite all the phones calls and emails from me to try to solve the problems, we are currently being totally ignored by CanWay Moving……

I just moved from Maple to Toronto, and I used AGILITY MOVING & STORAGE. These guys are bottom line the best movers I have ever used. They moved my full 3 bedroom house very fast. They took very few breaks, and didnt break anything. Theyer rates are very reasonable and they are very courtious and respectful. They used runners over my carpets so they wouldnt get dirty. They provided 5 free wardrobe boxes, and free matress bags.
I can honestly say that customer service is important to these guys. I highly recomend them. Their phone number is 416-654-5029

My name is Sebastian and I used AGILITY MOVING AND STORAGE LTD on August 18th 2009. They were awesome. I found out about them through Craigslist and did a little research on Google. I found several positive reviews and decided to use them. They showed up on right on time and the crew was very polite. They moved me without a hitch. They didn’t damage a single piece and used big bags to protect my mattress, which was cool. I would definitely recommend them. They are very reasonably priced and bring everything they need to move people properly. These guys are the best movers in Toronto! Their phone number is 416-654-5029.

I recently moved from Toronto to the GTA, for that move we unfortunately used a company by the name of Miracle Movers. The movers were slow, rude, and barely spoke English.And Moved as slowly as possible. They arrived at our new home 3 hours after we did, saying they got lost. After they unloaded our boxes, they held our furniture on the truck demanding another $200, before they would take it off the truck. When we spoke with the boss and told him were not paying more than he quoted us, he began cursing, and said he would tell the movers to leave everything in the truck, and keep it in storage. After 2 hours of negotiating, while we paid them, they unloaded all of our furniture into our front hallway. Terrible experience.

My second experience with a GTA moving company came today, when I had scheduled a piano delivered to my home. I google searched professional piano movers, and I started calling and getting quotes. After many quotes of around $350, I received a quote from CMS movers of $225 flat rate. This price quote included all the details of the move, stairs involved etc. Needless to say I was very pleased I had found such a great deal! Boy, was I wrong. When they finally arrived an hour and half late, and after the sellers of the piano had called me to say that ‘these guys are not professionals”, they demanded an additional $75, before they would even open the truck. I said I would not pay them more than the quoted amount. I called the Owner of CMS Movers, Alex and told him what was going on. After a few words back and forth, we agreed on $260. Well, the movers were still not satisfied with this dollar amount, and unloaded the piano into my driveway. My husband, called Alex the owner back, and Alex began yelling and swearing, and that he didn’t need our business. Another fine example of crooked moving companies Miracle Movers and CMS Movers in the GTA, are exactly that crooks!

Oh, and Miracles Movers lifted a box of DVD’s and DVD player……..geez.

Thanks for the update on the toronto movers .. I was going to use Big Hearts only because i saw their vans on the 401 but I’m set on Agility Moving & Storage…

I had bad experience with “2 small men moving company”. They lost my stuff and never got them replaced. Delivering stuff in my apartment was a pain and they didn’t tell me about minimun 4hr….when they got to my apartment they said their truck cannot go in, and they went with my stuff, and i had to pay extra for the storage for overnight, time for reloading into another truck & delivering. They transported my stuff with someone else’s and gave me wrong weight..i even found stuff that’s not mine and gave them to them, but never got my missing stuff. I’ve asked & I never got the actual weight of my stuff, so i paid for transpoting other person’s belongings, because they were refusing to unload my stuff. They said it will be adjusted and i’ll be refunded…never got it. Now they say i’ll not get anything without lawyers signature….i don’t wanna pay for the lawyer for straightforward case like this. Will never use them.

The perils of phone booking. Never book a mover without seeing the billing system in advance. Moving really is a dodgy horrible business with lying or misinformation the key element of the business . What else can I think when the mover for ARROW MOVERS Scarborough, whom we will never use again, said “we are all the same”. We had a small move and were verbally quoted over the phone a minimum of 3 hours plus 1 for travel at $40.00 ph. When asked for the senior discount advertised in the Scarborough Mirror we were told that was it. We paid a deposit of $200 when they arrived and when they had everything at street level the shock arrived with a bill of $332.50. (minus deposit) When my wife phoned the company for “Sam” her original misinformant funnily he was not there and she was told that it was 3 hours each way but the senior’s discount was 2hrs. Then there was a Km charge, a stairs charge for 3 steps, a misc charge for placing goods in locker. None of this we knew about in advance. There was no line for taxes on the bill just “others” and it did not add up to the correct %. Pity the tax dept does not have a look at these cash businesses. One is made to feel that one has been hijacked and held for ransom by unethical business. Interesting this was a two part move with the next part in a month. ARROW obviously does not care for the second part as hell will freeze over before I would use them again but where tell me where is here an ethical mover?

Note to self: Get everything in writing, carry a phone, and if people try to pull this crap, call 911 and report a theft in progress.

Greg & Sons Moving and Storage
Compensation was the least of my reasons for wanting to speak with you since it will be next to nothing as I knew and accepted before my move. It’s not compensation I was looking for really, it was an empathetic ear for your company’s blatant negligence. It is obvious to me now that your sales pitch for the family business that cares about my possessions and move was all just that, an empty, phoney sales pitch that over sold and under delivered. I am extremely disappointed in you and your company. I will certainly make sure that XYZ (real estate agent) who recommended you and all my neighbors and future friends here at Swan Lake know of my poor experience with you and your family’s moving business. You may profess to have completed 300 jobs here but you won’t get any recommendation from me.

always ask for references.
if any of you guys need a mover email me. im indpended mover who have lots of references in my website

moving is not an easy job at all, please pay, pay more for good movers and avoid cheap con- man movers that only care about getting your job and don’t care

$75hr for two guys plus a travel time for truck expense is the minimum standard, anything less just not add up to legal business sense to operate a moving company professionally
DONT BE CHEAP and then complain, pay for quality service and have a contract that you can see for peace of mind

i am a mover for over ten years, its sad to hear all these horror stories but because of the bad movers with cheat rates and bad service that makes it hard for good professional movers to survive anymore in this business. these bad movers are all over the place because the moving business is not regulated there is no way a company advertise at $45,$55 or even $65 an hour with a couple of guys can perform properly. how much are these workers making an hour ? these bad companies use guys who don’t know how to move furniture up and down steps and through doorways properly, anyone can move but trained professionals can do this smoothly without any damage to furniture and property. no real professional will lift heavy stuff up steps for low pay, thats one, next customers are looking for the cheaper rates and are been con by these bad moving companies with hidden fees etc.
good companies don’t have anything to hide, you pay for what you get its not worth getting your furniture and property damaged just to save on cheaper hourly rates, pay for quality work, Good Movers does charge more.
the company i worked with i would say, not a big advertised name company but is professional and highly recommended by his customers. as a worker for this company we all are properly trained to caring for the customer’s property and furniture and to be courteous to all customers and would not even take breaks on small jobs, we knew what to do and would work efficiently at all times on every job . we would try not to let our hands touch there walls if possible, we were this sensitive about being professional at all times.
every home we moved the customers were so amazed at how we handle there move and would always refer us to there friends and family. this company was based on all referrals there were no need to advertise. GOOD WORK, PROFESSIONAL SERVICE, CARE thats all it takes! customers must pay nothing under $75 per hour for moving if you want professional. Being professional comes with companies paying for professional caring workers with proper training, proper maintained trucks, insurance and other expenses, so remember your valuables are worth a lot to you, like any other services moving is hard work and should be paid well, forget the cheap cons. and don’t think of the cheapest mover but quality service here is a good referral for excellent service call

Trever I see where you’re coming from, but there’s always the smaller ones that are a bit cheaper because they do the work themselves. I’ve had not so good experiences with the bigger guys that spend big on advertising (two small men…,etc), but always had good experiences with the small businesses where the owners actually do the work, because whey want you as their customer and they need you as a referral. Some good smaller ones I dealt with were Frank’s Movers (can’t find them on google) and A&M Moving http://www.ammoving.ca . But you’re right, when it comes to price you might get 5-10$ per hour cheaper than the going rate, but once you go below that, something must be fishy.

I wish i had read all this info before this bad move I experienced. Do not use CITY HAWK movers with an address in Rexdale – some indian guy called Nick, who later changed his name to Sam when we called to complain (Nick was “away”) with no last name. We gave a $200 cash for deposit even though they wanted $300, good thing we didnt do that!! They were a lazy bunch, smoking and taking items so slowly, did not use their dollies, even though they had 2 of them, the truck was dirty, no boxes, blankets nothing. We kicked in to help to get things going faster. Once the truck was loaded up, the gave a bogus invoice of close to $700!!! including things like heavy items (I could carry everything in that truck myself!! no sofas, big beds, nothing!!) We said no way to their “new” invoice so they offloaded the stuff outside (embarassing!) We called the cops who arrived 3 hrs later and we detained the movers for the day and filed a complaint, but since there was a contract signed that was it. The saving grace is that we didnt pay these scumbags the invoice they gave and stopped them from going and dupping more people that day as they sat in their truck thinking about their sins!! Bottomline, there is no such thing as a “good mover” every one will have the capacity to screw you – best to have a quote provided in writing -, ID of company, driver, other payments allowed, not just cash in advance of the move and for sure, DON’T SIGN ANYTHING!!

I’ve moved several times, from province to province with my family and for work reasons. One of the better moving services I’ve used was arrow movers – arrowmovers.ca which I found on Craigslist. They were pretty good and the estimated price didn’t change – as a matter of fact, it was $20.00 cheaper when the job was completed than the estimate was.

Please do not use EXECUTIVE MOVERS it is a nightmare. I arranged with the owner of the company for my move which he give me an quotation of $40 per hour for 2 men and a truck minimum of 4 hours, which it would be around 400 to move my belongings.When they got there not only they took a half an hour to look around the apt they were talking on the cell phone paying their personal bills. After they loaded my stuff in the truck then the fun began. The wrote an invoice for 1000 dollars and said if I did not pay them cash at that moment they would take my belongings to the wharehouse and i would have to pay a fee to go and get it all. After speaking with Moses the boss he agreed that I would pay only 800 and they held my stuff hostage until I give them the money. They would not even go into my apt parking lot until I give him the money. They had no experience we end up moving things ourselves, they had no experience and they were scammers, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AND BEWARE THEY HAVE OTHER COMPANIES THAT THEY OPERATE UNDER THE SAME PLACE, also names Moses, John, Mike and more that I am only now discovering. It is my believe that the movers themselves are in the scam but they dennied it and said they were going to quit because they do not think the company is fair to the customers……I do not believe them for a minute.
PLEASE SAFE YOURSELF AND DO NOT USE EXECUTIVE MOVERS OR ANY OTHER LINKED TO THEM OR MOSES, JOHN, MIKE these companies are scams in order to get money and probably your goods.

Michelle your post almost sounds like an ad. Are you sure your name is Michelle or should we call you Naim ?

If anyone here is looking for honest and reliable movers please call us and you wont be disappointed. Guaranteed.

finally! they’re getting busted so anyone who’s been defrauded, call t.o. police…because they’re looking for your story.

FAST MOVERS – 416-876-8389
60 North Hills Terrace,
North York, ON M3C 1M7

DO NOT BOOK THESE MOVERS. POOR BUSINESS PRACTICES.

I called to book them a few months ago and thought i would share my bad experience with the rest of you.

They quoted me 60/hour with 1 hour travelling fee. I had a 1 bedroom condo (not much stuff) figured it would not take very long.
They arrived at the wrong time (4 hours before the scheduled time). They called me and i told them they made a mistake. I had the elevator booked for a specific time with the concierge!!!

What they did next is unimaginable.
They show up late – start loading their truck – get to the final destination and BEFORE anything is removed from their truck they hand me a bill………………
580.00 (They charge me for 4 hours where they arrived too early AND for my moving. The calculations do NOT even make any sense and they REFUSE to take out any of my belongings. I had to beg them to lower the price to 380.

THESE 2 BOZOS were not only rude they ruined some of my items.

If you want someone to rip you off they are the perfect candidates!
When you call them the phone person makes it sound like it will be a dream move…when it fact it’s a NIGHTMARE>

Save your money – Save your time and – save your sanity!!!!!!

DO NOT USE SKYLINE MOVERS 647-895-6004- I found them on craigslist, they looked reputable.
They claim no hidden costs I was quoted $80 for the first hr then $45 for two guys and truck /hr. No other costs
They were on an 1 1/2 late, then they hand me a contract to sign and tell me it’s $180/for the fitst hr, I said no, they said ok…I never signed the contract.
Next once we got to the new place im told I now have to pay $20/per mover for stairs?
and GST..

Worst move experience ive ever had.

Do not use AIM movers! I asked them if they had any minimum charge and they didn’t tell me that they had a minimum 2 hour. They charged a high price (75$/hr) and added a truck fee (they did tell me about this) but failed to mention that they add on ‘gas’ 10% charge which is a 10% of the entire amount- even though we only traveled about 3km. The movers themselves were nice enough and didn’t break anything, but the company themselves were scammers and added on extra charges without any warning. A total of 6 items to move 3km cost over 250$!

We moved with Albert Moving on June 30th from a 3bdrm townhouse in Milton to a detached house in Milton. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about booking with this company after all the recent moving scams, and also because all of the reviews were so positive! I was very pleasantly surprised by our experience. Albert and team showed up an hour early (which worked out to our advantage) and it took about 7.5 hours to move everything. The crew was great! Very pleasant and careful with our boxes and furniture. Nothing was scratched or broken! They dismantled and wrapped all of our big furniture and didn’t scratch any walls on the way out…or in to our new house. My only criticism is that they have one standard truck size and it wasn’t big enough for everything, so multiple trips were required (which was why it took so long to move everything). For $85 per hour (for three movers and a truck – plus a travel surcharge) it was definitely a great investment (and much cheaper than many other movers I called). HIghly recommend!
(416) 659-7844

DO NOT USE GOLDEN MOVERS INC. They took over 4 hours to move a 3 bedroom apartment and didn’t bring a big enough truck so made arrangements to do a second run..once 1st load was unloaded THEY TOOK OFF!!! Leaving me with furniture to be moved..DID NOT FINISH JOB and DID NOT GIVE ME BACK MONEY OWED!!!! I was over charged with promise to rectify bill once they returned to do 2nd load and they drove off..stealing my money and not completing a contractual job for moving! – have been calling constantly to try and have this dealt with and they continue to hang up on me and promise to talk to the “manager” n which I have not been contacted!!on my moving day I had a different company (affiliate) contacted me for arranging details … SMS MOVERS …in which the main office person was the one making arrangements for 2nd load.. And all details of my move on my moving day…I will be calling BBB on both companies if I do not hear a response in next 24 hours! And my money returned and an apology for all the aggravation this has cause!!!!!

The worst movers in Toronto is North York Moving and Storage company. Here is my experience with that company.

The agreement was hourly base to move our items from our old house to our storage. They made a very slow job to get more hourly money. Even people at storage place told them and us that they are the slowest movers they have ever seen. basically they abused the agreement and us. I am very much dissapointed with them and do not advise anybody to go with them. They abuse their clients.

My Family and I moved from North York to Brampton just in September and we were looking for movers online! Im telling you, its was pretty scary especially with all the bad reviews, Yikes! Anyway to make a really long story short, I received this flyer in the mail from this moving company in Toronto called RoadRunners Moving and Storage, and let me tell you, I was amazed! They erre so professional, which was shocking because I kinda of have an idea of what movers are like and I have heard some moving “horror stories”. Well, they were quick and surprisingly friendly. I had a Huge grand piano and I didnt think they’d be able to get that thing out the door! Thank goodness thought hey did, without any damage. they were pretty reasonable too.

by tthe way, these guys even took care of one of my plants for me for a week so that I didnt have to put in storeage, it obviously would’ve died! He brought it back to my house.

They were great. They really helped me out

If you guys a looking for a good moving company call RoadRunners Moving and Storage.

its 416 900 6061

We just moved with Agility Moving yesterday and it was by far the best moving experience I have ever had. The crew arrived on time, they were fast and efficient and took really good care of all our belongings. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a move.

Though they are not a local moving company, I’ve had a good experience with US-1 Van Lines (http://www.us-1vanlines.com/). They give on-site estimates and their workers are friendly and reliable.

SKYLINE MOVERS ARE A BUNCH OF PIGS

MULTICITY MOVING is the worst moving company on Toronto. They break things in your house before they get it on the truck, and even worse they hide things they have broken in transit at the new place by stacking boxes around it, they con you about insurance, they won’t honor their estimates, and they won’t sign the receipt at the end of the move. When you complain, the owner gets extremely abusive. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. They are are appalling.

DID ANY ONE USE NORTH STAR MOVERS IN TORONTO! PLEASE HELP..

Never, ever just pick a moving company randomly off of an internet search. Always go with a recommendation or your stuff can really end up in trouble. If no one you know has used a moving company before or you’re new to the city, you could always ask a real estate agent, who’s the kind of person having to recommend movers all the time.

SHELLEY AND I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION WITH THE PROMPTNESS

FROM THE ARRIVAL OF YOUR VAN , THE CAREFUL LOADING , THE COURTESY OF YOUR TWO MEN

MIKE AND PAVEL. THEY WERE SO COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL IN SUCH A PLEASANT MANNER.

THEY MADE A VERY STRESSFUL AND LENGTHY DAY OF THE MOVE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

IN SUCH GOOD STATE OF MIND CONTRIBUTED BY MIKE AND PAVEL . THEIR MANNERS AND HELP

IN THIS MOVE WAS A PLEASURE TO WITNESS.

AGAIN SHELLEY AND I BOTH THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE………….

You get what you’re willing to pay for. Anything under $50-60/hour is unreasonable, considering gas and employees cost quite a bit. That being said, do a little research, search for the company on Google and see what others say. Personally I’ve recently used A&M Moving at the recommendation of a friend and they were good. Either give them a try or ask someone who has used movers before for recommendations.
Here’s their contact info: http://www.ammoving.ca or 1-888-668-3161

My co-worker referred First Choice Mover to move our 4 bedroom house. We were very happy with their service and professionalism. This was my second move and to be honest you get what you pay for. These guys might not be the cheapest but you’ll have peace of mind. We highly recommend them, call them you won’t regret. Their number is 416-876-9400 http://firstchoicemover.ca

I used Jia Jia Moving this weekend.
Paid $624 for 2 bd condo (even without bedroom set).
My husband did more moving than of the movers.
Took more than 6 hours – they estimated another 1-2 hours.
Not a single item including furnitures went upstairs. – IS THIS EVEN LEGAL?
After 6 hours they left remaining thing on my front lawn.

USE JIA JIA MOVING AT YOUR OWN RISK!
If you have any problem, you won’t get beyond their customer service who can’t do a thing for you.

I am glad i used Moving Titan after reading all these scams. I paid $74/hr for 2 men which is high but the service is worth it and they are not scammers. People need to realize that you get what you pay for. Don’t expect great service when you are paying $40/hr. Good luck to you all.

Thank you very much for saving us – we had arranged a company called Husky Movers.
When we read your reviews, we chin-checked these guys, finally getting them to admit that there would be extra charges for stairs, extra charges for heavy items, an hour EACH WAY for travel time…

We’ve cancelled them, and we called Roadrunner, as per the recommendations above.
These guys are tremendous, full quote immediately, and he even told us we sounded more like a studio apartment rather than a 2-bedroom.

So. Husky Movers should be added to the list, and, thanks to you guys, we’ve been saved from a crap experience – keep on truckin’, Joey, it WORKS.

After reading full blog i have realized that the need of moving companies is become greater. don’t you see that 42 people have share their different opinion about moving, it is just fantastic thing and your posted information about Toronto Moving Companies is just amazing. keep it up

Agility movers these guyz just doing there advertisement here fkin making ppl fool these comments are not posted by any costumer ,they just writing these comments by themself for advertisement . Dont get fooled , we careful before u move .

I found this blog in search of movers and, because of it, found Bazinga Movers. I had a really complicated move because I am in France and was trying to arrange all of this at a distance (friends helped by being my “representatives” during the move).

I called Bazinga and right away I got a great feeling. I had spent an hour calling different companies and getting quotes – I can tell you that the phone presence of some moving companies is HORRIBLE. Speaking with the representatives at Bazinga was a breeze – very nice, very pleasant, and very courteous. I actually called on the day of the guy’s wedding, and despite his rush (who could blame him) he took the time to give me a quote!

I explained my situation and how much stuff I had. Though the company usually requires a three hour minimum, I received the “Condo Special” which was a two hour minimum. Longer than I needed, but the shortest “minimum” I could find without any extra charges.

With this two hours I was able to get:
– A FREE 15 minute assessment (the movers show up 15 minutes early to look at what they are moving, to help with bubble wrapping, etc. – the clock does not start until your scheduled time)
– Two movers and a truck
– No additional charges for gas or travel time from their location

The whole move cost me $200 (before tax I believe) which was AMAZING considering the prices I had been quoted at other places.

There had been one mis-communication between the office and the movers. My friends were told that it was a three hour minimum and had no other choice but to pay the extra amount. When I called the company the next day to point out the mistake, it was as simple as giving them a mailing address so they could send the extra money back.

I would ABSOLUTELY without question book these guys again. No muss, no fuss, and that extra 15 minutes for assessment may come in handy for larger moves.
