Moving from Toronto to Port Hope
I would caution anyone using Rawlinson Moving & Storage to examine and question the initial quote for moving very carefully. I recently moved from Toronto to Port Hope, into a house I had been renovating over the course of several months. As a result, I was able to move all of my art, clothes, and anything that would go into a box into the house ahead of the scheduled moving date.
The quote was based on moving furniture only, from a two-bedroom apartment. I counted, and there were 48 discrete items to be moved. The quote was $1,187.58 which I accepted.
On moving day the experience was in general very good - the crew was polite and careful with my belongings. However, when I was presented with the actual bill at the end of a tiring day, it was for $1,699.81 - $612.23 or 51.5% over the estimate.
While I paid the bill, I did email the sales rep asking him if he could address what I thought was a significant overage - after all, this was just 48 pieces of furniture from a two-bedroom apartment. Unfortunately, he did not see fit to respond to my inquiry.
I'm left with the feeling that the quote was low-balled to get my business and I'd like future potential customers of Rawlinson Moving & Storage to be forewarned so that they can minimize their chances of having a similar experience.
