Removal of house hold items (carpet,coffee table,toaster etc.)

We were going through a renovation and needed to clean out our basement before hand. Contacted 1-800 junk for a pick-up appt. I advised them we wouldn't need them to come into our home since we would move everything out on our driveway for easier and quicker pick-up. The two arrived and introduced themselves. Showed me the meter and then proceeded to put everything in the truck. I was a bit surprised by the final price since other quotes we received were cheaper and they would also included the removal from inside our home? We thought we would make it easier for them and have everything in our driveway since that should also reduce the cost since they were not going back and forth in our home and adding more time. They were at our home for less than 15 minutes. The guys were friendly, quick and professional. The only downfall was the price. Higher than most and wish I had time to do research since most likely would have gone with someone else to take our junk. Since we needed it done within 3 days, this wasn't an option to shop around.

Company Response

Hi Amira, we're sorry to hear about your experience however we couldn't locate a job booking under your name, so we are unable to respond to you personally. Our agents go over rates on the phone but they don't give quotes, we wait until our team is there and can see what you have. Our on site quote covers the cost of insurance, recycling and disposal fees, truck maintenance etc. We give you a no obligation quote and need your approval before we go ahead with the job. We'd be happy to follow up with you and make things right, please contact us calgary@1800gotjunk.com
Thanks, Michel

removing a wine fridge

The movers were very professional and courteous, no question about that, but I do not think they had they the experience or the strength to work as a team to move the item (wine fridge). I was very concerned for their safety as well as for the safety of my home being damaged during the removal. It was eventually removed safely but I do not think the company properly trains and prepares the staff to do this work. I would hesitate to call 1 800 Got Junk again or recommend them for this reason. This type of work is not just simple manual labour, it requires skill and planning and safety should be the number one priority for all. I was very surprised and disappointed as a result of this experience and I am concerned for the safety of the staff and other customers.

Great attitude, great service, on time. Great price as well.

Very little removed and lazy workers.

I have used this company in the past and have been happy with their service... until today. We had removed our old plywood deck and called this company to come and pick it up. On the phone I was told to expect a bill of about $360.00. When they arrived I was quoted $660.00!!! I said that I certainly couldn't afford that and please take what you can for $300.00. Well, they've left, I'm out $300.00, and I still have a huge pile of junk left in my yard! They barely took a thing. So frustrated. It's a hot day and the guys didn't feel like doing the work. Won't be hiring this company again, way too expensive! I wish I would have just hired a smaller company.

Hi, to clarify we don't quote prices on the phone because we offer a free onsite estimate. Once we see what you have to remove we give you an upfront rate which you are free to accept (and we get to work) or refuse and we're on our way, no obligation or cost to you. We rely on direction while we're on site to ensure that you're aware of what we're taking etc. Sorry if that wasn't clear, we'd be happy to review your service with you. Also we are a small company locally owned in Calgary, employing people from the community. We'd love to discuss your experience, as your review is anonymous, we must rely on you to contact us at customerexperience@1800gtjunk.com.

Furniture removal

Jevi and Christian just picked up our old couches and metal swing. Interfaith furniture wouldn't take them - too heavy. They said they would be taking them to be donated. So friendly and helpful! I have not used 1-800-GOT JUNK before but I certainly will use them again. Every person I dealt with was friendly and explained their services- great ambassadors for the company!
