    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On August 11 -12, 2023, Purely Canadian moved my belongings from ************************* in ********* to ********************************************** They picked up my belongings on Aug 11 and delivered them to ****** on Aug 12. After delivery, I noticed my bedroom furniture was damaged... in particular my bed frame and dresser. I notified the company on August 28 by email. They had a driver come and look at the damage on August 30 who stated "** ****** **** **** **** **** *** ******* ** ********". He agreed there was damage and would notify his employer. Initially I was told they would pick up my damaged furniture, take it back to their shop in ********* and bring it back up whenever they had another truck coming to ******. At the time, there was no truck scheduled so it seemed this could take months to resolve. I advised I was unable to go without my furniture and asked if they could have a furniture repairperson in the area take care of it. They agreed and advised they would have someone contact me. Despite many emails asking for updates and being promised an answer, I have yet to be provided with a name or service provider who can fix my furniture after 5 weeks.

    Finally in our new place in *******, **** All unpacked. Super pleased! Only two small items broke. In both cases it was due to my own poor packing of those two items! We DEFINITELY made the right choice by working with ************* and their driver ******. Right from the get go Purely Canadian Movers impressed us with their friendly staff and approach. The provided a credible budget and explained their obligations and ours if we agreed to use their services. They explain that by choosing to pack our our boxes and belongings what would be covered and what would not be covered. I was able to make informed choices. I knew that the quotes accuracy depended on my understanding and it was my responsibility to meet the weight and cubic square feet provided in the quote if I was going to be charged the rate in the quote. I followed Eds advice and I can tell you he did a great job because our bill was approximately $300.00 cheaper than quoted. First, I found buying uhaul boxes worked best for me as they have the cubic square feet on the box which helped me meet my obligation on that part of the quote. I clearly labeled each box, weighed each box as best as I could. I tried not to pack more than 50lbs in a box. I knew how many boxes I had, cubic square feet, approx weight, clearly mark and fragility stated. I WAS ORGANIZED AND READY TO LOAD WHEN THE ***** ARRIVED. I was not paying for packing and I didnt expect them to meet my obligations to pack! I was ready! Their time is money and I was not the only person they were moving. I had everything stacked appropriately and ****** was very appreciative and only took less than 45 min to load and drive off! ****** kept us informed and delivered our belongings to a storage facility in *******. Not one box was damaged on the outside of the box! Furniture was not damaged. I was so impressed because you can read reviews but we can with great confidence and appreciation advise that moving across ****** from *************** went well.
