BURLY BOYS the estimator I started with quit then I received 2 emails with different amounts the same day the I received two quotes last quote I got packing was 3 people 1 day only 2 people turned up (someone was sick) a third turned up in the afternoon they expected me to pay them when only half the work was done I refused late that night they informed me they dont move light bulbs,liquids, aerosols, etc and I had to empty the draws so at 930 at night I had to start packing these items day 2 3 people turned up later in the evening another person turned up who I was charged for I dont know when he turned up didnt say anything to me so I cant confirm his hours they finished at 2;30 AM NEXT DAY WAS MOVING 5 men turned up as per quote they were told anything tagged with green tape was to stay the quote was for 1 day it was about 5 minutes travel time The boss said they would do half a truck and finish with a second run. they filled the truck and left. They came back and continued filling the truck About 10:00pm they told my husband he had to sign a high risk form or they couldn't move the safes even though my husband had been into the office and the estimator looked at the video again and said no problem. They refused to move them. Later we found 2 movers who would do it one quoted almost as much as the safes and bar are worth. The other offered to go to court for us if it comes to that Tried to reach the estimator the next day but his wife was sick, asked for Manager he was in a meeting. So we have lost almost******* in safes and the bar. The estimator said he would call us on Monday said people involved were on long hauls and others were sick. Finally he emailed over a week later and said they underestimated the amount of items Nothing about the safes or bar. Reading the other reviews it sounds like that's their way to handle problems Ignore them until the customer gives up. Never get a referral from us Obviously they need a new coordinatorReview from Nicole P

The salesman who quoted my move was exceptional at selling me on a service that has underperformed at nearly every point. The experience starts with equipment issues with the specific truck that was booked for my move resulting in a single truck becoming three trucks, picking up on two days. The first day two trucks showed up hours late. Again, its equipment issues Im told after I had to chase them for updates. The third pick up required me chasing the logistics team to organize a day and time while I was out of province to receive their first two trucks. It came for the remainder of my items a week after the first. Additional costs were then incurred by me due to inaccuracies in their teams communication regarding items remaining. Then the ordeal of getting the third truck delivered began. I was told 3 to 5 days, which turned into over a month, and required me to follow up repeatedly for updates on its whereabouts. Once my items were finally delivered, the claims process started. I have been put through the paces for what I was told was an impressively small number of damages for the scope of the move. Despite the limited number of issues and my purchase of their extended protection plan, I have yet to receive any resolution for the items. After jumping through their hoops, I was ignored by the person who was handling the claim on behalf of the first person who started helping me. Im now onto dealing with a third person after calling to figure out why person two stopped handling my claim a month ago and ** still seeing no end in sight. Everything that has gone wrong has been framed as my fault, from item descriptions to losses, despite the fact the damages and the lack of communication has been wholly on the Burly Boyz team. I had patience, tried to be understanding, but frankly enough is enough. Three months have passed, and nothing has been resolved. Such a disappointing experience considering the enormous sum of money I paid.Review from Matthew H

I would strongly reccomend against moving with burly boyz.During my move from ** to **** burly boyz charged me and extra **** dollars. There was never a clear explanation to why and they refused delivery effectively holding my possessions hostage until I paid.After delivery to a storage warehouse while awaiting possession of my home I noticed they had smashed one of my tvs. After 3 months of emails and photos burly boyz refused to reimburse me anything.Very unprofessional. I would never book with them again and would advise anyone to avoid.Burly Boyz Moving & Storage Response

After being notified my belongings arrived, I asked to reschedule my delivery date as I didnt have the keys to my new place just yet. An operations Manager told me my sales representative would be reaching out to me to quote me on the cost of the additional services. I was not contacted for a quote and had no idea what the rate would be. Two days prior to the rescheduled delivery, I was told what the additional cost of storage services would be and that the movers would be requesting payment upon arrival. I called the sales rep, and his response was Well you ended up saving so much money on your move, youre not at a loss. I didnt think this was a professional or appropriate response to my concern. Had he bothered to contact me to tell me what the rate would be, I would have made arrangements to have the original delivery date work. I got a phone call from their claims department where I was notified that my sales representative was sick and thats why I wasnt given a quote.The rescheduled delivery date arrives, and as expected the additional cost was added to the bill. I was told that I can either pay it or they can refuse to delivery my belongings and that I would incur more costs because of that. So, I had no option but to pay everything in total. I have been ignored for 2 months and have just been notified that being contacted 2 days prior to the rescheduled delivery date for the additional cost was an appropriate action on their end regarding the additional costs and that my claim has now been closed. This was not a quote, and certainly was not a respectable time frame to notify me of the additional charges. While I understand that there is an additional cost to services, I do believe that they should have corrected their mistake (which they openly admitted to me) and should have met me in the middle somewhere.Burly Boyz Moving & Storage Response

Miscommunication Regarding Storage Terms I initially had a positive experience with the moving concierge, who was helpful and prompt before payment. However, after payment, the terms of the contract changed, and it took three weeks to reconnect with the moving concierge. Despite paying over $10,000 for the move, there was a breach of contract as I was charged $938/month for storage instead of the agreed-upon $400/month. The truck arrived on the scheduled day, but the late finish at 10pm and the storage miscommunication eroded my trust in Burly Boyz.Burly Boyz Moving & Storage Response

We shipped from ******** to Halifax in September of 2022. They broke most of our furniture and have been "sourcing quotes" to fix them for roughly a year without any progress. First, worth mentioning, I was called at 8 pm in the evening asking me if I could be home in an hour for furniture delivery. I told them that I had a baby at home, not to mention neighbours, and that it was unacceptable to give me an hour's notice and deliver furniture so late in the evening. Very unprofessional.They arranged for a time the next day and charged me to pay for the outstanding amount before they even unloaded the furniture. I reluctantly paid several thousand dollars and the movers proceeded to dump everything in the house. Almost all of the furniture had broken or was missing legs and none of the detached furniture was put back together as they claimed they would.The furniture is mostly antique. We have been waiting for over a year now to receive closure on this file and I have a hallway full of broken bedroom furniture cluttering up my home. I have sent them photos, descriptions, measurements, and even videos detailing the damaged furniture. I have dealt with ******, ********, an unnamed gentleman, and now *****. I am always told "somebody will get back to you soon" and nobody has for at least six months now. I would like BurlyBoyz to pay for all of the damaged furniture they delivered. This furniture is highly sentimental to me as most of the pieces are antique family heir looms. My father, before scheduling delivery with them, notified them of how delicate the furniture is and they said it would not be a problem to safely deliver (and then proceeded to break the first item while moving it from storage to their truck).I advised them several times that I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to get back to me in a reasonable time frame. But nobody ever did, so I now feel the need to escalate this issue.Review from Issac

Here is my feedback for our move. Pick up on 28 July 2023, agreed to be delivered on 15 August 2023case number 6691.Initially, my wife communicated pleasantly with ****************** from the ******* sales team. He was professional in handling enquiries and always available for us before we signed the estimate. The moving team was late for 4 hours on the day of pick up. However, they were fast, efficient and professionally handled our goods. Special mention to Mo and his ***** for the efficient and thorough unloading of our goods upon delivery. Thats all the good I can say about Burly Boyz. Here are the negative experiences I have with them:1. No one has communicated with us ever since the pickup day. No one told us to contact ********************* for any delivery issues or questions until we tried to contact ****************** on the day of delivery, 15 August 2023. He told us to contact **** as it is no longer his business. And to our surprise, our goods were still in *******. So, nothing moved for two weeks since our pick-up day on 28 July ******. Whenever we contact burly boys, we keep getting re-directed instead of answers to our questions.3. After-sale service is just atrocious. The only decent service is from *****.4. They refuse to give us an explanation or rationale for the delays that occurred until I demand it. They deliver the goods nine days past the 30-day window they were ***********.5. The initial invoice stated that our goods weighed **** lbs, with a proof of weight ticket. However, on the day of delivery, nine days after the delivery window, the weight became **** lbs, which increased our final payment amount by $666.72. So you are telling me that our goods put on weight on the way from *******? 6. Please straighten out how your different departments communicate because it is clear as daylight that there is zero communication between the sales department, delivery department, etc. That is why our delivery is delayed and screwed up like this.Burly Boyz Moving & Storage Response

My experience with BurlyBoyz moving was very disappointing. I was moving from ** to AB. They were very late at the pick up (1h30m) on Jul 30, even though I reinforced many times that my building had a 2h timeslot for the elevator booking. They didn't call me to advise they would be late. I had to call multiple #s because it was a Sunday. They were not able to pick up all of my stuff in 30 min and also delayed other peoples moves which caused me to be harassed by neighbors that got delayed. After that they never called me to apologize or explain the situation and kept my stuff without telling me where it was. I had to contact them on Aug 11 to complain about the delay and make sure they would not be late for the drop off (an apartment as well). They replied on the 14th saying they would do their best not to be late and that everything was confirmed to drop off my items from storage on Aug 16. An hour after I received a call from Ops Manager advising that they were not informed of my drop off date and that my stuff was still in *********. I was appalled by that because I advised them multiple times of the drop off date via email and phone and their sales person simply forgot to pass that info on. After many calls they told there was nothing they could do and they would deliver my items on August 18th. I again was flexible and accepted this, even though it caused me many inconveniences. At the drop off on August 18th, they were again late by over an hour and took longer than expected to move. I would never refer their services to anyone because they are not organized and are not able to handle basic calendar. They are very eager to book the services with u but after that it's only downhill. Their customer service is horrible. I understand that delays happen, but not communicating with the customer and leaving them in the dark is not acceptable. Also, they damaged a few of my items. I asked the Ops Manager to escalate the situation but never heard from anyone.Burly Boyz Moving & Storage Response
