Redonkulous Stairs

We used Galaxy Movers last weekend to move from an upstairs 2 bdrm apartment to a house with a nasty set of stairs to the 2nd floor. They didn't complain once, I felt so bad for them having to carry that furniture up the stairs! They got us completely moved in 4-5 hrs with about an hours worth of travel time. It's the first time we have ever used movers before and I was pretty happy with the outcome. We didn't have to lift a finger and figured that we only spent about $350 more than if we would have done it ourselves. So it was totally worth it, especially since it probably would've taken us 2 days to do it ourselves. We tipped the guys and told them that they would be back to move us again in a year! The crew leader's name was Aiden ... He was fantastic!

Terrible Move

Galaxy was 2 1/2 hours late and didn't call to let us know. I do not recommend this moving company! Super slow, one guy stood in the truck while the other guy did all the work.

Quote approx. $400... Paid $811.68 not told about the $105.00 travel time. Moved 3 Blocks.

Moved November 1st, 2012

Hi "DONNA" I suspect you are not real and are in fact 1 of our competitors. I have no record of this move and have not received any phone calls regarding your issue. If you want to discuss this feel free to call us anytime 604-767-4918

WORST MOVE OF MY LIFE - BEWARE OF UNSCRUPULOUS PRACTICES

If only I had heard of this website before I hired Galaxy. You’re going to love doing business with Galaxy Moving if you are looking for: a company whose policy seems to be, “The customer is always wrong”; a company whose employees don't sign their names to emails; charges that are double what was quoted; lots of hidden fees; and last but not least, water damaged furniture and household goods returned not only deeply gouged, but in unusable condition. This company does not invoice for storage so be sure to remit by the 24th of the month or you'll be dinged. When I complained I was rudely told "read your contract" which was laughable since I never received or signed a contract. I believe Galaxy was referring to their email which they titled "Tentative Agreement", where, in small print (not under Terms & Conditions), their late fees were noted, as well as their strange payment practices. They don't take credit cards, you have to pay by e-banking. The final straw was move home day. At the end of the move, on the suggestion of the moving men, I called and spoke to the owner, Brent Davies, who reassured me, "Just take photos of the damaged items and I will submit to claims". I did as requested, however, it turns out Brent had no intention of honouring his word. After submitting quotes for repair/restoration etc., and numerous follow up calls by my insurance agent, Brent told him he wasn’t going to pay for anything, and when my agent said "Well, you'll be getting a call from the insurance company", the response from Brent was "Do what you gotta do".

I have been living in a terrible state, unable to unpack a lot due to unusable furniture, awaiting insurance company subrogation, since Galaxy feels it did nothing wrong. Incidentally, not one thing that I packed was damaged, however, nearly everything that Galaxy “packed” was badly damaged, and much of my furniture will have to go off-site to be repaired and refinished, to the tune of $4,000.00

I wouldn't wish Galaxy on my worst enemy.

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
If you still want to use Galaxy, be sure to buy insurance privately.

Hi EJB, Im sorry you had a bad experience. However some of your statements are incorrect, Brent is not the Owner, we have 0 hidden fees, everything is clearly stated on the phone and in our email confirmations. Our payment terms are pretty diverse, we take almost everything, cash, cheque, email transfer, bank wire, or you can come and pay debit card in the office. We also take credit cards but you have to swipe them on our machine. What is your name I will have Customer Care get back to you. You can email us at: info@galaxyMoving.ca

Moving to Calgary

Galaxy Movers ensured our move to Calgary was smooth and hassle free.
They were professional and helpful throughout and made sure they took care with everything.
I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.
They carried out everything that I would have expected, no damage or missing items and the move was completed nice and easily.
Thanks very much and I would not hesitate to advise anyone to use these guys!

2 bedroom move

I decided to go with Galaxy Movers for my move from Burnaby to Vancouver. I am so glad that I chose them! They had excellent customer service right from the first phone call. They answered all my questions easily and promptly. When moving day finally came, they arrived at 7 am on a Saturday (right on time) and got right to work. I showed them my antique furniture and asked that they take extreme care when moving them. I noticed that they did in fact take extreme care, while still working quickly. When everything was unpacked, I was pleased to see that nothing was damaged. I am extremely grateful for Galaxy Moving and the quality of their movers. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Moving to our new condo

We hired Galaxy Moving based on reviews from this site. They were on time and efficient in moving us. After they left we noticed our leather sofa and dining room table had been damaged and reported this back to the company. They never acknowledged or contacted us back. Not exactly what I was expecting from a company with such great reviews.

Beware and take your time to inspect ALL your belongings before paying them.

It took you guys months to reply here, that's after doing everything you could to get my negative review pulled. I had to provide a copy of my invoice to homestars to get my review back on the site. You never replied to our email advising you our furniture was damaged.
