Ms.Huxtable Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Can anyone recommend a mover? Our move is only 5kms so I guess the truck doesn't have to be huge, they can do multiple trips if necessary.We're looking for a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Moore the mover. 613-234-8881. 5 ton truck 3 guys, $80.00 per/hour. Flexible rates for flexible peeps. Ask for Scott tell him Tim sent ya and name your price. He is supper careful and wraps everything in blankets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 ^^ i hired that guy and while it seemed cheap, there were "hidden" costs...basically at the end of the day he charged me quite a bit more than what he had quoted. it ended up being 400 for 3 hours and i think you could find cheaper than that.

bouche Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 i've got a quote coming in from 1st rate movers. my quick quote was $600 for the move. $400 would be fine by me. what were the hidden costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 well...he quoted me 80/hr. but at the end of the day he said it was 110/hr because he'd brought an extra guy. well...thanks for informing about that buddy.then, after 3 hours they were done, but they said they would put my futon back together for me (since i had no clue how i was gonna do that). so they went upstairs for 30 minutes to do that, which i ended up paying another 1/2 hr for, but when i got up there later they had not done a thing to the futon.nothing was broken though, iirc.

d_rawk Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 When expounding once on my deep, deep hatred for the monstrous pustule of a corporation that is U-Haul, Shane (nero Shane .. not sure if he is on the board?) had a recommendation for a company that he had nothing but praise for. I tried very hard to commit it to memory, but obviously failed.Anyways, I'd give him a call. Not sure if it is just a truck rental place or if it does 'full service' (sounds like something you'd ask for at the massage parlor) moving.Good luck!

traveler Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Give Scott Moore a call, tell him you will pay $100/hour for 3 guys and a truck. He will go for it. It is well worth it. He has a 5/ton truck . It is better to meet his schedual than to make your own. He isn't earning enough for his service.He pays 15/hour per mover guy; gas; and truck costs. Scott is a great guy and family man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
