Barrie Get Movers are not based in Barrie Despite what there website says
I want to preface this by saying this experience with Get Movers should be called Get Another Company. This company has made me physically ill with an arthritic flare and caused me post-traumatic stress. Me and my family moved on April 1st, 2023, literally down the street from our old house, everything was packed labeled, and ready to go, this should have been the easiest move of our lives, but instead, the price was hundreds more than what was quoted. When we arrived at our new address before signing our signature on the final amount we called get movers to talk to Sam whom I was in contact with before, he cowardly would not answer the phone or call me back and I was hung up on a good 10 times while time was wasting away, me and my family felt very uncomfortable and would have appreciated talking to someone from the office who knew what the hell was going on to discuss why the price was hundreds more than what it was supposed to be before signing. Long story short I started arguing with the guy I became visibly upset, timed wasted away trying to contact someone at the office the only thing unloaded was my dogs crate which was thrown like a piece of garbage in our garage, they closed the door to their truck and literally drove off with our furniture and belongings as a tactic to get us to pay more then the amount we were quoted, mind you we were not refusing to pay at all we were wondering why the quote was hundreds of dollars higher than it should have been. The Barrie Police were called who then contacted get movers the truck came back, and for the nightmare to end we signed and paid for it to all be over. The mover was rude and made it known they were working half an hour for free. Our boxes were thrown everywhere in the garage, weve never experienced such slow movers in our entire lives. My mother is a single parent and me and my brother have physical disabilities so when youre forking out money by the hour and movers are dragging their feet purposely its upsetting. Were not alone as the police were involved a few months prior with another customer who left a review very similar to ours you guessed it the perpetrator get movers. The only furniture assembled was our beds all our other furniture was left as you see it in the photos. I have left a complaint with pictures and thorough detail, but no one has contacted me, and I dont think they ever will. At the end of the day, we paid a company $1,426 to not even assemble our furniture and to throw things labeled kitchen in the back of our garage so that we would have to carry everything back inside. I had to move furniture with my 60-year-old mother, and my brother has early-onset Parkinsons disease, so what choice did I have? What did we even pay for? I was sent into a flare for the next month as I was finishing school where my grade was reliant on my keyboarding and my hands the after-effects were more than just the way the place was left and the way we were treated by get movers. We found out on the day of the move the movers came from Toronto they are a contracting company accountable to no one. They do not have a location in Barrie, no logo on their truck their number comes up as spam and the United States. My first sign should have been when I asked where they were located Sam stalled for three minutes before telling me an address that is no longer available on Google. I would never recommend anyone going with this company their website is not factual, they are not based in Barrie, wheres your address? what are you hiding? this company is deceitful, they make you feel like they are the best company with the fastest movers and are polite as can be until you end up in a situation such as ours and crickets, no answer no follow-up, no phone call, nothing. Save yourself from mental, physical, and emotional anguish. Our leather couches were scratched, and a 200-pound heavy mirror is still upside down against a window of all places. We now must find and pay someone to assemble our mirror which has now cracked the mirror behind it.
