Not impressed with the Yellow Bird team that was sent out for my move from Surrey to Victoria. They were hardworking, but a bit careless and disorganized. The team arrived late at the origin (although they brought in an extra person to help on that end), resulting in them having to rush for the ferry, and when they arrived at the destination, they told me I was lucky that they didn't just wait for the next ferry so they could charge me more. At the destination, they also rushed, breaking a bookshelf in the process and leaving several marks and dings, and one gash in the wall, which was then concealed

I am fairly certain all the positive reviews must be fake. Do yourself a favour and use a reputable moving company (it will be the same price or cheaper). Oomovers is just a referral company, that gets moving leads and then gets paid a referral fee for sending work to other moving companies (or a random guy with a truck/trailer). My experience today was horrible, the move had to be canceled as they didn't have the appropriate truck (it was a small trailer). When I called oomovers to discuss it became clear they didn't care. They recommended the movers can make multiple trips.... at 165/hr.

Here is why I gave them a 1 star. I usually do not leave reviews; I am not a bitter person and a simple We are sorry from them would have been enough for me. But First of all, my appointment was 11:30am-12:30pm on a Saturday. Simple job 10 small pcs of furniture with 15 min drive between pick up and drop off locations. When truck was not at the pickup location at 12:30pm I gave dispatch a call, I have been told that the crew is at another job, been delayed and she will give me a call in a couple of min with updated ETA. 30 min later, no call back, I had to call them again. Same let
