When people tell you that moving is stressful, this is no exaggeration. Cargo Cabbie is a locally owned business and I had always noticed its vehicles as well as its HQ on my drive home or during neighbourhood walks. So glad that their advertising was prominent because I needed help with moving a stacked washer-dryer and most moving companies will not even send their employees out to the truck without a bigger job. After a series of dead ends in trying to get reasonable and accessible help, I submitted a request online to Cargo Cabbie and then spoke to the staff there about what I needed done. If you have photos of what needs to be moved and what the challenges are, include them. From the first point of contact to the conclusion of the service required, you are treated with respect and care. Moving, regardless if it is a single item across the room or across town is going to cause some element of stress. Javier assured me that no job was too small and that his best employees would handle it professionally. They arrived in uniform and strategized what they needed to do before they started. I was really impressed with how they introduced themselves at the door and were also dressed in the company uniform. This says a lot to me about how they want to represent their employer and how their work ethic and attention to detail is part of the company's customer goals. I highly recommend Cargo Cabbie and have already mentioned them to a few people pondering who they should go with should a move be in the future. If you live in the Leslieville area, ask for the Leslieville discount for neighbours.

Visited Faulkner's during March Break because it is a bit of a trek to get there to look at their showroom. This is indeed a specialty store where you only get appliances. I was not ready to purchase yet and was given a quote and business card. It would take another two months for things to align and for me to make a purchase of the gas stove range. Not only did Michael ensure that delivery would happen in a matter of a couple of days, he also recommended a gas installer who would ensure that the old stove was safely disconnected from the gas line and who returned after delivery of the range to reconnect. I would not have known about Faulkner's had it not been for a neighbour who sang the store's praises. She has been recommending this store to a number of people who live in the East End. Worth the drive to Etobicoke and definitely worth the investment of time and effort if you want excellent customer service. The cost of the stove still came to be less expensive than big box stores after taxes, delivery, and installation.
