Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise on-time arrivals and clear pre-arrival communication; one says the invoice matched the quote. One customer specifically valued the crew’s respectful care toward elderly parents. Another reports a serious long-distance move problem: the driver arrived after 6 p.m. despite a stated 10 a.m. time, a dresser fell during unloading, 20 boxes were missing, and an item returned later arrived slashed; the customer says the company did not reimburse the reported loss and damage.

Customer Reviews

Michael Cristall

I moved across town and I took care of the little stuff. I needed movers for the big stuff and Take A Load Off Moving was brilliant. They handled items with such efficiency and grace, that I would've trusted them to handle everything. Next time. I would highly recommend these folks, they'll even pack and wrap for you!

TALO helped me move from Nanaimo back to Victoria, and the day went very smoothly. They arrived right on time, walked through the house with me to ensure that they had packed everything, and the invoice was identical to the quote. The guys were friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them, and use them again.

The experience was horrible. The driver advised he would arrive at 10 am in Vernon from Nanaimo.He showed up after 6 pm in the dark. He called multiple times to say he was lost. He was given clear directions on which driveway to enter but ended up having to back out. My stuff was thrown in the back with other moves going to Alberta while my possessions were getting dropped off in Vernon BC. The driver tried to unload a dresser with the drawers in it and it fell to the ground.My neighbor and I witnessed it. There were 20 boxes of items vanished! No explanation except maybe it will be in the other contents will check in Alberta. Will drop off while driving through Vernon- sends a text found one item- continued to give a song and dance he would drop off the item. Finally he answered a text would send the item out by curiour. I received no response it arrived 2 and half weeks later slashed. No accountability from this company. Horrible customer service and avoids all reimbursement for all the loss and broken items. This company should not be in business period. Run away from hiring them. Horrible is an understatement. This company is NANAIMO Based! If you look up your customer base you will see it was delivered on January 19th. I believe you will find my name. I can't believe the review below. Time to report to the Better Business Bureau. The response below is a blatant lie. I have all the texts to the driver and multiple emails to the owner. Who just denied it was a customer. Unprofessional at its finest!
