I would like to tac on a few more stars! I am so impressed by this company. Remember when people…read moreweren't out to scam and rip you off, where you can actually trust the situation. Located in Nanaimo, in comes Shawn! Showed up at the house when he said he would, was transparent about how he quotes (BTW, had 13 moving quotes and he charged me a fraction of what the others quoted). He sent me two fantastic, friendly and professional movers who were super capable. Move my massive massage chair from the garage into the house up a curved stair well. All this the same day I called him for a quote. Thank you Shawn for restoring my faith and trust, and know that if we every need anything moved, you are our guy! Happy to refer you, with zero hesitation.

They were also the most reasonably priced. I was willing to pay extra because of the no fuss, no mess, quick job they did, but Shawn wouldn't take more than he quoted. 20 stars out of 5!

UPDATE: My sincerest apologies to 1800 GOT JUNK. Someone else had taken the unit just before Got…read moreJunk arrived as to ensure they would not take it away by mistake. I was not aware of this. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking to eliminate the stress of clutter in their home. After writing this review, Got Junk had attempted to contact me to rectify the situation within 24 hours. ******************************************************************************************** Phoned 1800-Got-Junk to have a bunch of misc. things removed from our basement. They are polite and courteous, etc. The customer service up to the end of the removal was great. However, a few days later I discovered they had taken something they were not supposed to, a handmade wooden bathroom cabinet built by my wife's father. It was near the items to be removed, but I had indicated only to take items up to a certain point in the basement and leave the rest, The cabinet was for our renovation and we had been saving it for some years to finally use it. Needless to say my wife was pretty upset about it. I phoned the company back and they told me it was likely disposed of. They told me they would call back. I have not received such a call. I would call the $160 price tag worthwhile had it not involved the loss of something of such importance to us. Unfortunately this experience has turned us off of using their services in the future. ********READ UPDATE ABOVE*********

I recently booked a pickup with Just Junk for a pickup on Vancouver Island on July 29/2016. The…read morereviews I read seemed promising. I spoke with a very helpful customer service rep named Ali, but after booking with this company it went downhill from there. We were promised a two hour window that was to be from 10:30-12:30. We were also sent an email stating that we would be called between 10:15 and 10:30 to let us know when they would be arriving. This simply did not happen so I finally called at 12:15 to find out why no one had contacted us. The person I spoke with did not really have any answers for us so I asked him to please have a manager or someone who did know why we hadn't been contacted us to call us. I did receive a call from a manger named Kathy approximately 5 minutes later to tell us that not only would they not be arriving at the promised time but we would be lucky if they arrived at 2:30 at the earliest. She gave no explanation why we weren't called and offered a very insincere "I'm sorry". I told her that this service was unacceptable but she did not show any concern in the least. I also told her that I would be writing a review and once again she simply did not care. We were on a time restriction with the sale of our house and had hired Just junk for this very reason. Due to the fact that they made no attempt to assist us I would not recommend this company to anyone and will certainly not give them any future business.

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.

Doesn't matter if they are experienced or brand new to moving, the replacements are the worst movers I've ever experienced. I've had numerous moves for over 50 years. The company appeared to be competent and well organized professionals but moving day was the worst ever. The "manager" threw the bosses plan out the window and did as he pleased. Many antiques were damaged. It took them 12 hours to load drive 5 minutes and unload. I could go on but I'd like to forget this experience. Just don't hire them on a long weekend.
