First off, alf moving is a pricier moving company offering premium service but since they are so highly recommended by my friends I decided to go with alf. No regrets.
I mentioned alf moving to my colleague Samir because he is newly engaged and planning to move into his new home. Samir and me we both got an estimate from alf moving and the quotes seemed higher than market rates. I decided to go with alf while Samir used another company he found online.
Samir and me moved around the same time and everything went great and as expected on my end, very professional staff and got to my place even before me. I footed my bill and no surprises there.
As for Samir, this is a tale of caution and in stark contrast to alf moving. There were numerous charges on the day of for Samir, the other company first told Samir his things are heavier than the original quote so they had to charge him for almost more than triple the estimate. Samir had no choice but to say yes. Some items were damaged while being moved by the other moving company Samir had hired, but the other moving company refused to compensate him.
Samir ended paying more than I did and he was there the entire time to monitor and made sure nothing more goes wrong, by contrast, I stayed the first hour with alf and then went on to spend time with my wife until all things were moved safely to our new location.
It was really a no stress move for me and my wife, and the more I compare my experience with Samir the more I feel glad to have found a proper moving company which provided honest estimate since the beginning.
