In their own words
DID NOT SHOW UP. On June 30, I called and booked for July 15. The owner said they had another move in the morning and could make it to my place at 2:00. On the day, I still had not had a confirmation. So I called at 9:00 am to confirm for 2:00, the owner said yes, they would be there. At 2:30, no one was there and the owner texted saying they would still be another hour as they were still at the morning job. It was 4:10 and I still heard nothing back.
We did show up. We were very late and I apologize for that but i did send you a message about 5:20 to let you know we were on our way. We got there just before 6pm. At that time when there wasnt an answer at the door i called and sent another message daying we were at your place.
Booked for 10am. That morning they told me they would be an hour late. After 2 hours they ignored my texts and calls, after 3 hours they finally arrived tired from doing a move and started the clock immediately. Didn’t start actually moving items til 45 mins later. I asked for 3 movers and I got two people moving items and someone who organized the truck. Still paid for 3. If I asked for 2 movers , would I get 1 person that moves and 1 person to organize the truck? Communication was my main issue.
Again I do apologize for not communicating with you prior to arriving. Once I realized we were going to be longer than expected I should have contacted you. As far as the guys being tired from doing another move that isn't true.
I’d give negative stars if I could. These people were hired and paid to pack and move my aunt and not one proper moving box was used, expensive and valuable items went missing after they told my aunt they wanted to buy it from her. She caught them rummaging through her valuables multiple times, collectable scotch bottles were opened and consumed. Today, we went to the storage unit to take a few more items out and this is how they “properly packed and moved” for my disabled aunt.
We have not been paid anything for this job that we worked for over 16 hours doing over 2 days. Most of the main floor was covered in 2 to 3 inches of dog poop and the basement had a sewer back up.
First things that was upsetting was the lack of communication. We scheduled them for 10-10:30am, we wanted to be the first move of the day because then the movers aren’t tired. It’s now 10:30am and get a text from them saying they’ll be there at 11:00am. So we waited 11:00am rolls by and then 12:00pm. Finally at 1:20pm they show up, we called and texted from 11:00am to 1:00pm with no response. We asked for three movers, the owner said that they would have three movers for $165 an hour.
First, I would like to apologize for the lack of communication prior to our arrival. I should have called you back once I realized we were going to be longer than expected. You mention there were some items broken but I was only aware of an over the toilet cabinet that the legs had cracked in when…
Lied about me having bed bugs. I just packed the boxes 2 days ago. They never touched my bed at all. I'm on disability and they left me hanging on the last day of the month. There was no food in the boxes. Just books. They said the apartment stunk and there was nothing to stink it up. I cleaned up the apartment prior to them coming. Now my grandpa who is in pain 24/7 has to help me move. Thanks a lot. Ps there was no bugs in the boxes.
I am sorry we couldn't help you move and although I did not see the bugs, 2 of my guys did. If we moved your stuff with bedbugs we would have gotten them in our truck and possibly passed them on to our next customers.
Well I don’t normally post negative reviews often, if ever, but I feel prospective customers should be aware of a few things. I was actually taken aback seeing a number of decent reviews here but I understand why. If nothing goes wrong with the move then I suppose they are adequate movers, albeit under staffed and using wonky equipment. When they moved a heavy piece for us they severely damaged our LVP floors. When I contacted the owner she committed to meet me the next day and you know the rest.
I hired them September 27th for 10 am and finally showed up at 11:30, then she tried to charge me for 3 people and I had everything packed and disassembled so I said no 2 was enough. They got my items out with taking most items to the elevator. When arriving at destination the very quickly moved stuff to building and my neighbor holding the door told me they were very rough with belongings,so when I plugged in my flat screen TV which was less than a year old the screen was all messed ( I will include before and…
I hired Local Experience to move artificial grass to my backyard and paid Sharon cash and received a receipt for the first roll but after they moved the second roll a week later I paid cash to Sharon and then I had to run to an appointment since Sharon showed up 2 hours late. She said she would once again email my receipt but didn't. I waited two weeks for my receipt but then had to chase her this past week. She continually ignored my calls or promised me she is sending it but didn't.
Karen I apologize for not getting your receipt to you sooner. I had however sent the receipt to you the same day we did your job. Not sure why you did not receive it. We were simply very busy when you were calling and I wasn't able to get to the phone.

In their own words
Excellent experience. They were excellent for a moving company I had never used before. Scheduling was quick and simple, and there were no additional costs once they provided me with a quotation. Exceptional value when compared to what other businesses were quoting me. On moving day, communication was excellent. The movers were prompt and effective, and they carefully and methodically placed everything into my storage container to make the most of the available space.
Thank you so much for your review. We are very happy you were satisfied with the service. Hope to hear from you again.
We moved from Regina to Saskatoon a couple of months back and hired Sharon and her two-member team to move our stuff. They did a great job right from the beginning. Whether it is wrapping the furniture properly or loading and unloading, they did everything professionally at a reasonable price. We highly recommend their service.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Hope you are enjoying Saskatoon.
Beyond excellent. I hired these guys in the middle of a very stressful move, I was all by myself that day. They quickly got to work, carefully got all 12 items moved in a short amount of time. What impressed me most was their willingness to help out with all the extra little things that needed to be done aside from moving the furniture. Their assistant Sharon even helped me put up a shower curtain and transfer food from one fridge to another!
Thanks Roxanne, it was a pleasure working with you and I hope our paths cross again.
My daughter has a last minute move and I was trying to get her help, Sharon was friendly and she attempted to accommodate, she was going to fit her in the next day Sat but the only day that would work was Sunday. this company had no availability. 'although I was not able to hire this company, the customer service was exceptional. 'the next time i need a mover hopefully with more notice, this will defiantly be my first call.
That is so nice to hear Judy. Thank you so much! I hope we can help you out the next time you need help moving. Hope your daughter's move goes well!
