    Damage everything, stuff goes missing and nobody has the integrity to fix the problem. Terrible movers.

    We had Harold and Brandon do our move on Saturday July 12th,…read moreThe move was just like it was promised they called before arriving just like promised and were right on time. Both were greatly professional in every way. I would recommend this company for any move very professional and no surprises at the end quote I was given was correct, we have another move coming up in a couple of months when out new place is finished,,will use these guys again in a heartbeat hopefully we can get Harold and Brandon again.

    Yesterday, my elderly grandmother experienced the most stressful, chaotic and abusive move in her…read moreentire life. It's important to set the stage here and share some pertinent information: - She was moving from an independent living facility to an assisted living facility. Now, yes, that kind of transition can be difficult for older folks, but the relevance comes in with 3.2 km the amount of stuff that required moving. For month's prior, the great purge occurred, where anything that would not be needed in the new facility was sorted and donated. This left two dressers, a loveseat, a chair, a clock, one end table, small kitchen table with chairs, and a wall unit and 20-25 totes. Everything was packed, all that the movers were contracted to do was wrap and move furniture. - The move was booked with Jason C, on July 12th, with a quote of 3-5 hours (at $159.00 per hour) plus a truck, travel, equipment and basic coverage charge of $159.00. Also a fuel surcharge of 5%. This meant, if it took the full 5 hours it would be $795.00 + 159.00 = $954.00. A $100 deposit was paid in order to book, which would be deducted from the final bill. This quote also specifically says that the rate includes 2 professional movers. (Remember this, it's important!) - The plan, which had been communicated at the time of booking was that there would be two unloading sites, 1 being 3.2 km (7 minutes' drive) from the pick-up site, and 2 being the final destination and 4.9 km (13 minutes) from site 1. The truck, driven by Tom (who was not in uniform) arrived at 9:33 AM (booked to arrive between 9 and 10 AM). Immediately, the swamper/other mover (Jesse) gets right to work, moving the smaller stuff to the truck. He certainly was driven, which was incredibly helpful, because all Tom did was sit on his cell phone and argue with the person on the other end, after he wrapped a dresser and the clock. Frustrated in watching Jesse working his butt off solo, (and knowing that Tom's screw-around time on the phone was just doubling the cost of the move) my dad steps in to move to small items (a grocery cart and a walker) to the truck. Tom tells my mom to tell my dad to stop. Was it for liability purposes? Oh no, he said my dad that him helping was SLOWING HIM DOWN. Slowing him down from what? His uber-important phone conversations?? Finally, the first load is finished in TWO HOURS. Two hours to load 20ish easily stackable totes and 10 pieces of furniture. But of course, it takes that long when only one of the movers is doing their job. They then went to site 1 to unload some of the furniture, which took 25 minutes longer than it should have. It took them 40 minutes to travel 3.2 kilometres on what is typically a 7 minute drive. Upon arrival, Jesse gets out of the vehicle and begins moving the end tables and tried to move the wall unit on his own. Tom has yet to exit the vehicle, instead choosing to perform his very important phone calls, and have a social hour with a neighbour. This frustrated my aunt who was at site 1 to receive the large furniture, because the other mover Jesse, couldn't do it alone, so she told Tom that he needed to start helping Jesse to get it done. That she wasn't paying him to sit on the phone. His response? He was ONLY a driver and couldn't assist. Of course, she gets angry - she paid for TWO movers. She gets in touch with Randy, who is eager to get off the phone with my aunt, to speak to his driver. He wouldn't let her express her concerns whatsoever. Now don't get me wrong, I've worked many, many years in customer service, and I understand the annoyance of Karen's. But my aunt was not one of those, and if Randy had taken the time to at least HEAR the issues, things would have likely been resolved quickly. It's concerning that only the employees word goes. I'm sure he told them he was taking a quick 10-minute break and didn't disclose that he had been on the phone all morning, not doing his job. And I'm sure he didn't tell his boss he informed the customer he was only a driver. She asks to be escalated to Andy who also doesn't provide any customer service or resolution, but it does get Tom out of the vehicle to assist with moving the wall unit to the top of the stairs. Finally, what needed to be unloaded here is done, and the driver and the mover set off to site 2. This should have taken MAYBE 20 minutes, so why did it take them 45 minutes?? Keep in mind, that now, since we are past the 3-hour mark, time is charged in 15-minute increments, so that extra 25 minutes sure counted. They finally arrive at site 2, and shockingly, Tom carries in two things (one in each hand). When he sees my grandmother and mother in the suite the first thing Tom does is approach my mother and grandmother and with a cocky sneer says, "This move is going to take SOOOOOO long now". Dearest gentle reader, I'm sure you can put two and two together and can clearly understand that out of spite, Tom was now informing them that it was going to take eve

    We recently moved and used Highland because I used them a few years ago and was pretty happy. This…read moretime, we had 2 households on opposite ends (west & south) of the city to consolidate into another side of the city (east). Calling into the office for quotes was a painless process and we received pricing & a date promptly. They take a $250 deposit per move. *my one point here that I wish was differently was that we could have combined our moves into 1 move, but was told to do it in 2 moves - so that ended up costing us more in the end* The day before the move, we received email confirmation of pick up times etc. My movers were actually about 15 mins early, but that gave them an opportunity to all come in, introduce themselves (Paul, Darren & Roberto) and do a walk around the house/receive instructions. They were all super friendly professional. *Turns out that Paul was the one who did my move a few years ago!* Before they started they laid down runners and mats to not dirty the house. They had blankets and packing supplies ready to ensure my belongings were handled with care. Our other move was the next day with Kenny & Clarence and again, super friendly, super professional. This was in a condo where we had to use an elevator to move things in and out, but they were efficient with loading/unloading the best way to make use of space and time. Highland charges for travel to/from the truck yard and actual time spent moving. They will disassemble and reassemble beds if you want them to. They bring wardrobe boxes and pack up your items hanging in your closets for you (complimentary). They really do everything to make it as stress free for you as possible. They took a lunch before getting to the new house (they don't charge you for those 30 mins) but let you know when they were leaving/coming back. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about the movers - I super appreciated them and how hard they worked all day. Once complete, you pay before they leave and everything was a seamless transaction. I've used them several times now and have also recommended them to others - and we've all been satisfied with the service. I think pricing is comparable to other moving companies. From what I understand Highland's policy is to contract out different teams and they each get assigned one job per day - so your experience may vary depending on who your movers are.

    We recently moved from Edmonton to Kelowna. The person who gave us the estimate sounded very…read moreknowledgeable. All questions asked were answered professionally. We asked for 2 quotes: A) we do all the packing and B) they pack for us. But apparently there is a third price, when it is partially pack by the owner PBO, the remains packed by the movers will be charged at A DIFFERENT RATE which we were unaware of. Due to staging and quick completion, we packed most of the furniture and clothing ourselves. We went to Highland to buy some moving boxes. We informed them our plan of doing most of the packing ourselves. But not once were we informed about the different pricing. First day, we had 1 person came over to pack. Second day we had 3-4 people. Just the packing itself took 3 days total. I can not imagine what the packing will be like if we had not already packed 85 percent of the boxes. I would say very poor management on resources allocation. On the actual moving day, either the project director or the sales person was suppose to come. They were there to make sure it is a stress less move for there customer; but neither one showed up nor can I reach the salesperson by phone to ask. For those who had moving experience will know that customer have to pay before the movers will unload your boxes. We paid within a few hours after reviewing the invoice. On the day of delivery, the project director called and alleged the company had miscalculated our bill and we need to pay close to $1000 dollar more. But by then, the movers are already at the door and we need to focus on the movers and direct where to place the boxes. The GM of the company called again immediately in regards to the miscalculated invoice. I said the movers had arrived and it is a very bad time to discuss the revised invoice. Let me call back tomorrow. But the tone of voice indicated the only concern they have is to recover the $1000 mistake they made. We have unpacked all the boxes now and found 2 vases missing plus some either small items. Fortunately, they are not valuable but these items were bought from different parts of world. Certainly, I have poor experience with this company and will definitely not use them again. For anyone planning on moving in the future, make sure you ask the questions below: 1) how many different methods of charging? and how come charging method can change without notifying the customer. 2) how many movers are packing and for moving 3) how they mark the boxes and the system to check them . I found there are grey areas. Good Luck on finding a good moving company! I found this company does not deliver on their promise.
