Please choose a different moving company
Where to start? My experience with Real Canada Wide Moving was awful! I hope this review will prevent others from being completely taken by this company. I was moving from BC to Alberta, was give a quote from 1000lbs at $680 to 2000lbs at $830. I booked them for Dec.1 2017. The driver called me a full week early asking to pick up my furniture. Of course not expecting this I was not ready and still working. Then on Nov.30/2017 I was supposed to receive a call to confirm pick up for the next day (Dec.1). I waited until the end of the day and gave them a call, they told me that because I wasn't ready the weekend before that my furniture was rescheduled for Dec.2 pick up. Ok, not the end of the world but a heads up would have been nice? They show up, everything goes well and they take all of my furniture and boxes. Then a few weeks later I get my final bill which was 1820lbs and the charge was for $1110! They charged me $100 to go up 5 stairs! I eventually got that charge removed but could not understand why my bill was $1000 for 1820lbs when my quote for 2000lbs was $830. I was told that is their pay structure?! Then I set up delievery for my belongings, they showed up looking as if my boxes were thrown down the stairs, dishes inside were broken (they were packed properly), they destroyed my dresser, kitchen table, one of the chairs for the kitchen table, a night stand, my stand-up fan and then I realized my summer tires for my truck never got delivered! They also delivered a few items that did not belong to me. It took me 2 weeks of asking them to pick up the items that did not belong to me when I finally drove them to their warehouse on my own time. Seeing inside their warehouse made me understand why so much of my furniture was ruined!! it looked as if they literally just shove and pile peoples things as tight as they can in there. I made a claim for all of the damage and my missing tires, this is about $3000 in loss for me and they paid me $150 and told me my tires can't be found. They told me that they calculated my loss at $300 and the deductible is $350, so i was basically owed -$50, but to "keep me happy" they sent $150. It has been nothing but a nightmare. I now have to replace so many things and go spend $600-$800 on a new set of tires which I had owned. Please choose another company to move your belongings. I would hate to see this happen to anyone else.
