Who knew moving could be stress-free and fun?
The dastardly necessity of moving weighs heavily on anyone’s heart, so it was with trepidation that I drove, in pounding rain (of course), to meet my movers. Trying to remain positive, I, petite and female, couldn’t quite shake memories of some of my (many) past movers – surly, burly, slow, unobliging and sometimes disrespectful and careless with my precious possessions. Well, two fine, kempt young men who make up Buddy 2 Move arrived at the storage locker in the Valley a few minutes early and greeted me with a smile and a handshake. These two (strong) young gentlemen handled my two bedrooms’ worth collection of large art, sculptures, marble and glass furniture, treadmill, weights, and other many miscellaneous items deftly, swiftly and with the utmost care, gentleness and good cheer. I found their loading to be brilliantly creative; they had space to spare, while the previous loaders had struggled for (wasted) hours to fit everything into the same sized truck. I could feel the stress falling away, but what made the experience especially pleasurable and fun was the banter; they are intelligent, curious, well-educated, well-travelled, witty and wise conversationalists, while maintaining perfect professionalism. Time flew by. I didn't know the (bypassing the toll bridge) route to Vancouver, so I told them I would follow them and please to try to make sure I was behind them. It was a circuitous route and the one time I was blocked from staying behind, they noticed and pulled over and waited for me. The unloading was just as careful and swift. At my destination, they set up my marble and glass dining room table and a heavy sculpture and assembled my treadmill. In the end, I was 1/4 hour short of the hour, and they rounded it off backwards, in my favour, when billing me. Of all of the times I have moved in my life, this has been, by far, the easiest and most stress-free. I highly recommend the services of Buddy 2 Move.
