We've moved twice this year and both times, we've used El Cheapo as they were recommended by a number of friends. Both times, the staff were polite and hardworking.
I would recommend choosing an earlier time slot as our second move was quite delayed. Though they told us they would arrive between 1 and 3 pm, they did not show up until 5 pm. I don't blame the movers as they had an arduous move before us, but I wish the office staff were more honest about timelines and took more initiative in communicating with us in these situations. They tried to assure us they would arrive in 20 minutes as they were en route from Scarborough. We live downtown at Dufferin and Dundas, you can't make that time in the middle of the night, let alone rush hour!
My last complaint is that one of the three movers in our second move was a bit careless and dented our kitchen wall while carrying a drawer. Of the five movers we've interacted with, he was the exception as the four others were a pleasure to work with.
Overall, I would recommend this to my mother but stress the importance of choosing an early time slot.
