Poetic Justice for Quick Boys Movers

The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century is a great, Toronto-based blog written by Joey deVilla. Recently Joey asked his readers if they knew of a good moving company, or ones to avoid. One reader posted about a bad experience with Quick Boys Moving & Storage.
Nearly a month after the post, a Google search for "Quick Boys" and "movers" shows the comment on deVilla's site as the #2 result. Joey then receives a call, at his work, from an employee at Quick Boys demanding that he remove the comment to his blog, and threatening legal action.
Since then, the story has been reposted as it's own entry at Accordion Guy, and been linked to on blogs across the internet, including the wildly popular Boing Boing. If Quick Boys wanted this story to go away, they went about it entirely the wrong way. Instead of the comment getting removed, the entire story has been published. Now, a search for "Quick Boys" and "movers" on Google reveals 8 out of the first 10 results to discussion about the incident. Only two results point to Quick Boys ads in Yellow Page like directories. Maybe now they'll threaten Google?

My name is Susan, I just read your story. And it sounds really familiar.
I too used this company in August to move. There service was unsatisfactory and nothing like what the advertisemet says.
I too am missing items, and the items I received were all damaged and broken.
The movers are in no way professional, they were very rude.
To make a very long story short did you reveive any type of response from them? I am currently waiting to hear from them regarding the claim I reported. Any advise you could share?
Also I have spoken to many individuals that too have had problems.
Awaiting your response,
Susan
I would NEVER recommend QUICK BOYS to anyone! Very unprofessional.
I agree with other posters. They are a fly by night company. They steal your deposit and RUN AND HIDE!
Its obviously someone from Quick boys.

They were supposed to be at our place at 9:00 am on Saturday morning and were not. At 9:15am I phoned and the "girl" said they were on their way but the snow (barely a flurry) was holding them up. We called again around 9:40 am. because they hadn't shown up yet. Now the excuse was that they broke down on the DVP. Not once did they pick up the phone and call us to advise us.
Needless to say, after numerous phone calls to them (at least 5-7, I lost count), they finally showed up at 1:30 pm (4.5 hours late). By that time my fiancee and his friend had moved everything except 12 large items from our one bedroom apartment to the loading zone.
It took another 2.5 hours for them to get those 12 items downstairs and loaded on the truck with the other stuff we had already brought down to the loading zone. That was with my fiancee and friend helping, who knows how long if they had been doing everything!
So once on the road, they followed us to the new place. Truck spewing oil and smoke. Luckily our new place was ok for us to use the elevators, even though it was after the specified hours for moving.
I was forced to make payment (trust me, not for the agreed upon amount) before they would let us move anything off the truck. Originally had quoted a price of $69.00/hr, then they were going to reduce it to $60.00 because them being late and all the problems. We ended up paying only $180.00 + GST, and probably shouldn't have even paid that.
After another 2 hours of unloading, scratching, denting and scraping both my furniture and our freshly painted walls, we just told them to "Get out of our house!!". We were tired and it was now 6:30pm, 9.5 hours after they were originally supposed to show up.
Please, for your own sake, do not use this company and tell everyone you know, not to use this company, they will be sorry.
Cheers!
They were great!! Very professional service, and taking good care of furniture. We found them through the google, and we found very good reviews and called them for booking. Very nice office staff estimated was right on. Movers arrived early and were very fast. I had good experience and would highly recomend them. To contact 416-654-5029.
Give them a try you will be happy,

This is a disgusting, repulsive company that takes advantage of its workers and customers.
