Recently I mentioned that my writing had been put on hold due to my moving. My husband and I had purchased a home with a 30 day closing. Not only that, my husband would be away for two of those four weeks in Mexico. And of course, the third week, while my husband was still away, I was stuck in a situation where I needed to move pretty much immediately.
Floors were going to be dug up, so within 30 hours, I needed to pack, hire movers, rent a storage unit and find a place to live for the nine days before the house deal closed. Not exactly the easiest of challenges. I had to work until 1pm on Tuesday and I had to be out of the current home by Wednesday morning. So Monday late night, I turned on my laptop and checked out the ads for moving companies on Kijiji. There were at least ten ads that I responded to. I emailed each company the details of my situation. The first call I received was from Mike of Discount Movers.
Let me tell you, it's stressful being a woman, taking care of the household, the animals, working and moving, all while your husband is away. Right away after I heard Mike's voice on the phone that night, I was immediately put at ease. He had this calming voice and he said all the right things. I felt comfortable. He gave me the quote and I promised to get back to him in the morning.
The rest of the quotes came in. None of them were by phone. Some of them were just the dollar amounts, no hello, no thank you for contacting us, nothing. Mike's price was fair, it wasn't the absolute lowest, but it was decent. What made me choose Discount Movers was the fact that Mike seemed genuine. I had a lot on my plate and I wanted to choose a company that would help take some of that stress away.
Sure enough, Mike and his brother showed up not only on time, but a few minutes early. They came in and were quick to get moving. I couldn't believe that the entire move was done within two and a half hours. They took care of my belongings as if it were their own. I knew that my stuff was in good hands.
I was so impressed with Discount Movers that I ended up hiring them for ten days later to move us from storage to our house. We had already planned to have our family help, but when I saw how great Mike and his brother were at moving us, I thought it would be well worth the money to hire them again. So on the real moving day, Mike, his brother and a friend showed up and worked again, really fast and efficient. Even my husband was impressed.
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Discount Movers to anyone moving within Hamilton, Burlington or the surrounding area as I can assure you that they are decent professionals. For a quote, you can contact Mike via email at mike.hunter@live.com or by phone at 905-973-4300. I wish you a safe, happy and successful move, just as I did!
