   Move from Victoria

   Moved from Victoria to Vancouver. Movers: Arsh and Armaan were communicative, professional and personable. The move was seamless and they were very professional. Nothing was missing or broken and they went above and beyond. Company: Move was fairly (if a tad high) priced, they accommodated a specific request and they took me through the process very clearly. Their truck looked a little run down. I would use this moving company again and certainly would want Arsh and Armaan to be my movers. They were amazing!

   MOVING

   These guys were fast and very careful we all of our stuff. We have used them for 3 moves. Jayden and Mohamed in Edmonton thanks for the good work. I would recommend this company. They quoted on the job but were done earlier then quoted and reduced the price.

   Excellent Service

   Jamal and Dustin did a superior job last Friday of packing up our fragile pieces of furniture, along with our regular furniture, boxes etc., for our move from Toronto to Calgary. They were professional, pleasant, and very hard-working, and we are very grateful to them and want to convey our thanks to them.

   Not satisfied.

   Moved from Edmonton to Ottawa. The movers were 5 hours late picking my shipment in Edmonton and 3 hours late delivering my shipment in Ottawa (30 days later). There was only one mover at destination so he wasn't able to bring all my furniture upstairs. He apparently decided it was fine to set down my $2,000 mattress ina puddle because the entire bottom half of my mattress is soaking wet and smells bad. So after 30 days of sleeping on a camping cot, I still can't sleep in my bed. Many boxes were broken or partially open. On the bright side the staff were very nice and friendly.

   Worst movers ever

   The moving industry needs massive regulation and oversight. Given that most are a bunch of shady operators, Burly Boyz takes the award for most inept and most untrustworthy. These charlatans should be run out of business.

   Moved my moving date 3 times, then showed up hours late.

   BB moved my date from Kelowna to Calgary 3 times. Then on the final date instead of showing up at 10 to 12 they showed up late afternoon. Driver says he overslept. Driver did very little of the moving. Left most of the moving to a nice guy called Wessal. I asked the driver when they would deliver. He assured me before 4 pm next day. Again next day no one showed up. Zero communication. No call, no e mail.Showed up a day late but did get a call on day of the final delivery. Very nice movers Hassan and Harry. The only positive thing was nothing was broken. The communication from this company sucks. Try arranging a move out of or into a condo.A nightmare . Final payment was more than the quote bit it was weight based.

   Long distance move

   Unfortunately I endured a very disorganized move from this company. They employ an office worker named Leiby who is disorganized and confused. She doesn't listen to your moving needs and is completely ineffective in coordinating pick up or delivery of your items.

   I will never use Burly Boyz again

   Moving from Vancouver to Winnipeg while dealing with the stress of a family tragedy. These movers did not help but rather increased my stress a thousand-fold! They dragged my white queen size boxspring along the ground halfway across the country. I told them to wrap it but they didn't listen. It arrived filthy and ripped. The destroyed the finish of a credenza. They lost one of my boxes. They broke the wheels off a rolling Filing cabinet. And cracked chunks of concrete off my front stairs as the One Delivery guy struggled to pull heavy furniture up the stairs - by himself - in the middle of the night. Burly never took responsibility for anything saying it was my fault for not having enough insurance. You've been warned against using these hacks.

   Very poor experience

   We moved July 2023 and booked with Burly Boys. After reviewing our inventory list 3 times with them, they showed up on moving day with a very small truck. (We found out later when one of the staff let it slip that their large truck was broken down.) Theu offered to take our items in 2 loads but then charge us DOUBLE. We declined and were then left scrambling to move half of our items ourselves and had to rent a storage unit to hold them until move in day. The final straw was when 3 pieces of furniture showed up damaged, they refused to honour the extra warranty that they talked us into purchasing. Book with Eager Beaver instead, we hear many positive things.

    dishonest and took no responsibility for their mess up

    DO NOT USE BURLY BOYS MOVING AND STORAGE!!!! The arrangement for the move was to include 3 heavy items and the movers who showed up were not aware of the heavy items to be included. The movers were shown the invoice showing the heavy items. Another company needed to be hired which came to $600. Burly Boys only compensated $100 and felt like they went above and beyond. In their email they concluded saying said we hope you will recommend us or use them again in the future. They are totally clueless about customer service and sticking to their word. This move was in Calgary. It was my daughter who was moving, and I was there during the full move assisting with carrying things out to the truck and unloading the truck at the new place because of most of the hired help the Burly Boys hired had very little experience. Avoid them or you will be extremely frustrated with the outcome!!
