Barry is a very helpful and honest guy! I once had a lens filter stuck on, and was worried about…read moredamaging the lens by trying to force it off. I brought it in, and he was able to get it off even though it was cross-threaded, at no charge. I've also brought him a couple Olympus lenses to look at, one of which he immediately knew would need to be sent away (Olympus parts cannot be ordered, so if it needs parts vs. just cleaning, it needs to go back to the manufacturer). The other lens, he called me the day after I dropped it off, and also identified it needed to be sent away for repair. I needed it back for a wedding I was shooting soon, and was cutting it very close by sending it away. Due to other commitments, I knew I wasn't going to be able to pick it up until close to his closing time and the cut-off time for the courier. When I arrived, Barry had packaged it up in a box with bubble wrap and packing paper so I could just pick it up and drop it off at the courier! Talk about going above and beyond. He has yet to accept any payment for his diagnosis of my lenses, so I always try to buy something else while I'm in there. When I was looking for old film cameras to use as decor at our wedding, he gave me a bunch that were no longer usable but still nice to look at. So if you want to deal with a friendly camera repairman who will tell you it like it is, and has a great selection of equipment and other accessories, Barry at the Camera House is your guy! When I read the review from Gerry J., I knew I had to chime in and say my piece. :)

Used this mover on the strength of a friend being happy with a fast short move. Then I had my stuff…read morein storage in Kamloops for 6 months. Several things I was unhappy with. First, no ability to do what they said they would do. Times were never firm, even when I texted to be sure, right before coming to the storage, as requested. Got there and he asked me to wait 20 minutes because boss called a meeting suddenly. Just no. I already arranged the time in the way you wanted, Jas. Pretty much every time it was like this - incomplete/wrong information. Even the first time it was like that. "Come to our location and I'll let you in." No sign, didn't tell me I had to go to the back. I end up wandering around and asking the people in the other stores nearby. Just constant time-wasting. The first group of guys that moved my stuff out were pretty good except they were extremely late and didn't bother to notify me for iirc a couple hours. One of them spoke decent English, which helped. When my stuff was later moved, there were only two guys, neither of whom were adequate in English. One of them carried my lamp with a heavy base at an angle and destroyed it. Jas claimed the bolt on the bottom just needed tightening. Wrong. It's garbage now. He offered some other weird lamp as an option, but I need my tall standing lamp that takes no space, not a big boxy thing at desk height, so I didn't take up that offer. Finally, I was paying storage monthly. That was the contract. Then, at the end of the period, suddenly I'm charged 750. This really sucked as I had just bought a condo and money was tight. As usual, he didn't do what he said he'd do, ie charge monthly, and screwed me over that way at the last minute. I moved out on the 7th of the month and he wouldn't even give me a partial discount for that month to make up for the nonsense of the last-minute withdrawal. Not intentionally corrupt, just incapable of organizing time, doing what he said he'd do, or hiring people with adequate English. I thought it was going to be okay, till it all got screwed up in the last week. We had set a moving time, as required by my condo that has to plan around it, and then at the very last minute, same day or night before he wanted to change it to next day. Save yourself the hassle and pick another mover!! Edit: You can see in the pics, the flange was damaged and is now completely broken because I moved it to try and fix it. When I lifted it vertically, the base was wobbling/rocking because it had been damaged by the mover. Never wobbled before.
