I used Quick Boy Movers recently and they loaded the truck and held it for randsom. Insisted that I pay them $1500 or they would not move the truck. In hind sight I should have called the cops. Tried to deal with the person in the office tht gave me the quote and she was the most rude unreasonable person. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

Elite Moving Service.. Another scamming company.. sounds very familiar from what happened to you guys..

So, instead of writting out the whole story, I will brief you.. I found them on craigslist, and when they scammed me for $300 I promised the guy i spoke to on the phone that I would post on Craigslist and KIJIJI (their main places to recruit business) every day telling people about my expereience with them, and to warn others not to use them..

Here is my latest post:

Hello again Everyone,

Seems that Elite Moving Service is starting to change their ads a little bit!

AM I RUINING YOUR BUSINESS?? OR WAS IT YOU WHO RUINED IT THROUGH YOUR DISHONESTY??

KARMA SUCKS!!

So, to let everyone know.. they quoted me $180-200 over the phone to move in to a one bedroom house. I told him exactly what was being moved, and left out no details.

I got concerned when the movers arrived and refused to tell me a round about figure regarding how much is would cost (I had $300 on me just in case). When we were leaving the loading area, I asked again, they wouldn’t answer. I thought I better borrow $100 from my dad. I WAS STILL SHORT!!!

when it came time to offload.. they refused to offload until I paid them >>>$515<<<< A big difference from 200, no?

Well ELITE MOVING SERVICE..

AS I PROMISED, I WILL CONTINUE POSTING EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU REFUND ME $300..

I HAVE NOW BEEN ABLE TO GET MOST OF YOUR ADS REMOVED FROM KIJIJI, AND NOW CRAIGSLIST IS NEXT..

YOU BETTER PAY UP SOON, UNTIL YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT..

FYI.. (FOR YOUR INFORMATION – AS YOUR PROBABLY DON’T UNDERSTAND MUCH)

I HAVE RECEIVED OVER 30 EMAILS NOW THANKING ME FOR THESE POSTINGS AND WARNINGS ABOUT USING YOUR SERVICE.. YOU ARE LOSING BUSINESS FAST!!!!!!

On second thought, maybe the $300 is worth making you suffer!! Too bad I have more patience than most people in the world, and as promised, I WILL continue to post EVERYDAY!!!!!

P.S. At this point, I am getting great satisfaction in knowing that KARMA IS KICKING YOU IN THE ASS!!!

416-919-6683 <<<< thats their number as they seem to be changing their company name as a result of my now over 40 posts

Screw you, “Quick Boys Movers” and your PATHETIC bullshit.

I’m going to TELL EVERYONE I KNOW not to use you. And then I’m going to tell people I don’t even know NOT to use you.

You’re russian mafia tactics won’t fly in this town. I’ll see to it personally.

Oh, and if you’re thinking about changing the name of your company to another name…I’ll be on it and then tell EVERYONE NOT TO USE you under your new name.

You’re done in this town. Done. Done. Done.

Nobody should ever use Quick boys I had to call the police as they doubled their original invoice and would not unload the truck unless I agreed to the outrageous overcharge

I wish I read this blog earlier! I used Quick Boys Moving a few years ago and I also had a terrible experience with them! They sent 3 guys who didn’t know the first thing about moving. They were inexperienced, slower than molasses, ruined some of my expensive furniture, scraped up the wood floors in the house I was moving out of, and over-charged me several hundred dollars. But it got worse. They stored my stuff for a few months. When they came to deliver my things to my new house, before they even unloaded the truck, they told me that I had to pay and sign the contract saying that my things were delivered in good condition. When I told them that was illegal, the guy yelled at the top of his lungs, “IF YOU DON’T SIGN IT IN 5MIN I’ll DRIVE THIS TRUCK AWAY!!” So I had no choice but to sign it. When they unpacked my stuff it was completely damaged from moths, despite their claims that their storage was a pest-controlled environment. The saga continued for months and they became more and more incompetent and threatening so finally I gave up. But when I saw this blog today, I wanted to back-up Jay’s original complaint. If you value your furniture, money and peace of mind, don’t use Quick Boys Moving!

Joey,

I am glad you stood up to those people. Movers can be such a pain. I have moved multiple times and each time my mover seems to suck. This last time I moved I found my mover on one of these get quote things I think it was

They sent me a mover that was slightly better then my last mover. But I have come to the conclusion that all moving companies try to rip you off in one way or another.

Being offended = intelligent.

I’d elaborate, but that would mean I’d have to describe your post. And there’s nothing worse than describing someone’s words, or how they sound on the phone.

So that it’s documented for those searching. I too got screwed over by Quick Boys (recently). They showed up an hour late, took 8 hours to move a one bedroom apartment, and damaged almost every piece of furniture that we own. The movers didn’t know how to pack the truck, so they ended up not having enough room for all of our possessions (again, this is a one bedroom apartment, and a normal sized truck) – we had to leave stuff behind.

Avoid Quick Boys moving at all costs…

Hey, everyone has their own way of living life and everyone needs to make a buck in their own way. Some people take advantage of others and some people get taken advantage of. That is the cyle of life. I’m sure from the Quick Boys’ perspective, they were taken advantage of here. The point is everyone is able to justify their own reality one way or another.

The beat goes on so there is no sense in trying to stop it. Thump. Thump. Thump. Do you hear it? It is the great heart of life pumping in the only way it knows how.

Besides, this Quick Boy story is dead. Take a look at The Soundtrack from My Personal Coming-Of-Age Film, Part Deux – wow!

I for one know for a fact Jay is telling the truth. For some reason the owners of Quick Boys seem to think that it is ok to intimidate people. As first generation Canadians emigrated from Iran, I believe that they feel this behaviour is acceptable. They often lose things and then try to get out of having to pay for or replace said items. As far as movers and drivers, there is absolutely no training and u will be lucky if they speak or understand english at all. General labour is all they will hire. My advise is to never ever use this company. As a matter of fact I advise is to pack and move your own things that way no one can take advantage and u will have no one to blame for broken items but yourself!

Joey,

It’s nice that even blogging can expose these half-cracked businesses that exist only to rip people off. The day of the ‘threatening phone calls’ to straighten things out is bullsh**. I hope you and Jay do NOT back down, and that more people learn about this business and eventually shut them down.

From Cody Saunders (www.tk23.com/www.tkblog.com):

I like this section … it seems like the shill got his college dropout son to be a secondary shill:

“Like I said though, all in all they did a pretty decent job. I’m sorry other’s have had such a problem with them. Moving sucks no matter how well the process goes. Next time I’m just going to throw out all my stuff and start fresh in the new place. I like the idea of being a minimalist.”

The sarcasm in the next to last sentence seems to be a way of saying “aw, come on, give ‘em a break..”

But I’m into subtelty. I hate the idea of being a minimalist.

I was searching for a way to send some feedback to quick boys and have spent the last hour reading this blog. Great reading. Since I now intuit that the company is probably not interested in post payment feedback, I’ll just comment here. I moved last weekend (August long weekend) and used quickboys. All in all they were pretty good. The only thing they did wrong in my move was squeeze an extra 1/2 hour of payment ($45) by dragging their feet on a couple of things. When they showed up, on time, the driver took 1/2 an hour explaining how he was going to charge me. He borrowed a piece of paper and proceeded to do multiplication long form. When they were done the job he went to his truck and pulled out his calculator to tally the bill, at which point I asked him why he didn’t use that to begin with. They also ended up getting a couch stuck in a doorway which they only had to move a grand total of 9 feet since I was throwing it out and only needed to go from the front room to the porch…ended up costing me $30 to move that one piece of furniture.

Like I said though, all in all they did a pretty decent job. I’m sorry other’s have had such a problem with them. Moving sucks no matter how well the process goes. Next time I’m just going to throw out all my stuff and start fresh in the new place. I like the idea of being a minimalist.
