Moving beyond my expevtation

Carefree Moving helped us move furniture to the cottage (Hudson Bay). It's been a pleasure to deal with this hardworking crew. They tried their best to relocate us safe and quick. The price was discussed prior to start moving and we paid exactly what we've agreed. To speak about other moving companies we've asked for help, they were asking for sky-high prices and basically refusing to move us to our island. Our crew of three movers did wonders! They had to do three trips, using the boat too! Their skills impressed us very much. We want to thank Carefree Moving staff for their operative and organized service, for being honest and professional. Special thanks for garbage disposal!

great job !

Thanks to Carefree Moving we had a smooth moving, without troubles. I have to admit that before the event I had million of doubts and worries. Fortunately, everything went well and now I can relax. We used full service, which include packing, loading and then cleaning and so on. We got a neat truck, great moving team and all the supplies. I liked this company, they did a great job for us plus they came on time that is already awesome!

Professional service, will be using next time

We finally moved and I` d like to share my experience on using Carefree Moving with other people. It` s been a good one, except crazy hot weather. My crew showed up on time, the guys worked well, with no complaints about weather. We used a large truck which has been just enough to transport all the stuff we had to move. We paid after the unloading and cleaning was done and got our receipt via email. We didn't experience any issues with these movers and we're happy with their service.

Moving

My moving experience with Carefree Moving was fine. They didn't let me down, although I can't say anything exceptional about this company. I got a regular service for pretty affordable price. I would recommend them though, because the team works fine, fast and careful and they are a bit cheaper than other I called. So, pretty good for a simple move.

Small move

We recently booked Carefree Moving for a small move. The crew was nice and diligent. Our home furniture was covered well. Moreover, the company gave us few free of charge wardrobe boxes and bed mattress covers. This became our very first time using movers and it's worthy, I have to say because the service is great and affordable.

Worst company

They showed (a bunch of teenagers) and sat around talking for 30 minutes, they barely spoke English. They then demanded a deposit and then left without any explanation. These people are terrible, I was stuck having to move on another day.

Hello, Mini
It's been your second moving with us and as far as we remember you've been completely satisfied with our service the first time (we've got your positive feedback and really appreciate it). However, the failure of your second moving using our company is a consequence of your own disorganization and neglect of your own move. Please excuse us for this, but it's the truth.
1. Our team came to your house five minute earlier and to be exact at 8:25 AM.
2. We gave you a call to notify you, that we are here all set up to start the work and you came to the loading zone at 8:45.
3. Let me mention that the elevator was not available at needed time and you've got it only at 9:30 for 4 hours.
4. So, from 8:25 till 9:30 (and its one hour and five minutes) our crew wasn't able to access your building.
5. Now let me remind you that you booked our movers WITHOUT the truck giving the reason that it will be the "across the street ". However, the truth is, it was a distance of 300 meters with crossing of two streets.
6. Let me also reply on your complain concerning "teenagers". One of the movers who assisted you is 38 y. o; two other movers are 28 and 26 years old. They are two years younger than you, my dear. Probably 8 to 12 hours hard physical work is the secret of everlasting youth.
7. After the inspection of your apartment, our crew manager has brought to your attention the following:
- had been a need of additional packing of your stuff and kitchenware which requires additional 20-30 boxes of different sizes.
- your 4 bedroom apartment needs 10 to 15 hours of work to be moved from 18th floor and then crossing the 300 meters street and then going back. We were surprised to hear from you that you expected a 4 hr moving for a 4 BEDROOM apartment.
After getting the real estimation from our manager you have become enraged and allowed yourself to insult our crew. Our crew took the decision to leave the spot because it was absolutely impossible to perform a 4 bedroom apartment moving in 4 hours using three movers without the truck plus, you refused to offer us a 4 hr deposit.
Our advice to you for the future would be to stay more organised and making realistic estimation for your event before you decide to move and everybody will be happy.
Sincerely,
Paul Siebert.

Should be called Careless Moving, not Carefree

My name is Tom, and I hired Carefree Moving to do our move on May 30 (a week ago). Based on my experiences with three other moving companies for previous moves, I had a lot of experience upon which to draw and compare service levels.

The movers arrived on time, but that was the end of the positive news. From the time Artyom (I think his name was — he was the apparent foreman) looked around at our move-from address, he commented on why we needed so much stuff and made comments to his colleagues in Russian (I think—a language I wasn’t familiar with). They frequently talked to each other and laughed in their language in front of us, leaving us to wonder what they were saying and if it was about us or our belongings.

Several of our walls and floors have scratches and gouges from their carelessness. Boxes that I clearly marked THIS SIDE UP were put upside down. They took their time, took several smoke breaks out by the cab of their truck, and left cigarette butts all over the driveways of both houses. I know it’s hard work, but they took a lot of breaks and when the final bill was presented they included their lunch break time in the tally of hours worked.

What’s more, Artyom had the nerve to suggest that we buy him and his colleagues lunch. When I said that they should have planned for their lunch, he said, What am I supposed to do, take my truck to get lunch? How is his lunch MY problem? Pack a lunch! Anyway, I played nice and bought lunch. Artyom made no offer to pay me back for the expense.

When arriving at our move-to house, there were more comments about why we needed so much stuff. And when we asked that they move our old bedroom set to the end of the driveway for garbage, Artyom said we should keep that set and have them put our new set from the truck by the road. Artyom continually felt entitled to make comments about us and our belongings and left a very bad impression. What's more, three times we asked him to move an old, heavy TV to the end of the driveway for garbage pickup and when we went back to the house to do cleanup, noticed that they did not take out the TV. We had to move it ourselves.

They also put the drawers back in our main dresser for the trip to our new house, and then carried it recklessly up the stairs, banging into walls and gouging the walls and floors.

Careless Moving should know that the people they hire are unprofessional. When they leave my property, they can make all the comments they want. They were careless with our belongings, careless around the walls and floors of our houses, and disrespectful to their customers. They told us several times that all the stuff in the truck would never fit in the house. It all fit in the house — why they would say that and make us worry is not only puzzling, it’s completely unacceptable.

At the end, when everything was unpacked, after they left a mess, cigarette butts on our driveway, and scratched walls and floors, Artyom said, “Here’s your bill plus the tip.” I laughed and said, “Lunch was your tip. Plus, it’s not your place to ASK for a tip; it’s MY place to determine whether you deserve one.”

I was going to give them $100 each as a tip because I recognize it is hard, heavy work. I should have given them nothing, but I gave them lunch plus $100 to split among them. Achmed was at least a little respectful, but Artyom was a public relations disaster for their company. To top off the bad impression, when I gave Artyom the payment (Visa for services plus $100 cash), he said something to me in Russian when I shook his hand. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I’m pretty sure from the giggles from the other two it was an insult.

After my experience with this company, not only would I never use Carefree Moving again, I would never recommend the company and would suggest you change your name to Careless Moving.

I’m very regretful that I hired Carefree (Careless) Moving.

Residential move

These guys did wonders. I was expecting a long and boring moving (like people say) process. Surprisingly it went fast or maybe I was too stressed and the time flew like crazy. But the movers rocked! They did the entire job from wrapping to unwrapping. Great and worthy service I have to say. I paid a bit more, but I saved time and my nerves. The guys were experienced although pretty young. So, the whole moving was pretty fun and easy. Thanks a lot.

Great help, courteous movers

We used Carefree Moving last week to help unload a U-haul. Their movers did an awesome job, being very effective and incredibly nice. We have got some tight stairways but they made it possible to bring the furniture to the second floor with no scratches. I can recommend them with no doubts and want to thank again the staff that assisted us.
