My possessions did not turn up to get moved in today. "This Friday," they say, that being the day I'm scheduled to fly out of town for a week.
I would like to reiterate that 2BurleyMen dot ca are easily the worst movers I have ever had the misfortune to work with, and that includes my ex-roommate Nathan who was happy to accept help with his stuff but didn't bother to assist with the communal and non-Nathan parts of the move-out. Under no circumstances should you use 2BurleyMen dot ca. I recommend renting a U-Haul and hiring random folks off the street instead: they will actually show up to do the job, and it's not like the quality of work will be any less. You will lose a day or more driving the U-Haul to wherever you're going, but you will not lose a week and a half.
(U-Haul is admittedly ALSO a shit company that is unclear on the concept of "reservation," but that's a different story.)
Comments off, but I did want to let folks know where I'm at.
