I hired Meldrum again! The team of Steve, Robin, and James, led by Eric accomplished the move so smoothly that I had to give you an excellent review. Eric accompanied me through all the rooms where furniture needed to be moved to 4 different addresses, 3 in Lachine and a final drop in Old Montreal. All the furniture was wrapped, the runners were laid to protect the floors and all the furniture, a large plant and 38 year old ficus benjamina were moved without a hitch to each address. They were personable, professional and experienced. They worked so well together and made the move that much easier! I would not hesitate to employ their services again and will definitely consider using Meldrum for any future moves. I have used Meldrum for previous moves and have always been satisfied. I made the mistake of using another company in a move in 2016 and it was a nightmare. I am so relieved to have had them do this move, as moving is a somewhat stressful experience. By the way, Eric has been doing this for 20 years, Steve for 26 years, and Robin and James for 6 years each. The “Vikings”, as they are known, are a great group of men, who seem to work well together, with Eric at the helm. Thank you again, Julia.

An Absolute Nightmare!

Everyday I wish that I had never hired them and feel that I have a duty to warn others. It started with the movers about to pull away after having loaded my goods and telling me that their numbering tickets had 'fallen into a mud puddle that morning' and that they would inventory the goods that afternoon and have it emailed to me and asked me to sign blank inventory sheets. After a few days with no response, I tried to get a hold of the inventory sheets and were told they were with the driver. After more days of no response, I contacted Allied Van Lines and was told no paperwork had been filed as of yet. I got a call when I was visiting a friend in the States saying my stuff was being delivered. the perpetually unpleasant and controlling manager Josh told me it was overweight but not by how much and that 'maybe there was a problem with the scales in Montreal and it would be reweighed' (it never was). As I was not there to receive it, supposedly it was waiting for me in a company that they use for storage in Edmonton. I paid for a trip to Edmonton to see my goods and sort it out. My stuff was not there (it was supposed to be) and no-one had any idea where it was. 3 more emails to that were ignored by Josh until I had to leave and received a very expensive bill for 3740 pds when he dumped my goods at the storage place and did not even bother to call me (he knew I was leaving Edmonton the next day).. My original quote ( a sales person had eyeballed my goods in person) was for 1800 pds. I tried to explain that I had a 'stuffed' locker the same size that had been weighed for 1200 pds. so I did not understand how it could be so heavy. I also had requested the movers drop off any furniture at a donation centre and that my previously weighed goods included furniture. No…
