Coop’s Moving

I feel a little bad writing this review as the movers were generally nice guys but the experience with Coop’s moving left such a bad taste in my mouth i felt compelled. To begin with, they don’t have big enough trucks to move a 3 bedroom + den house. Even their driver said it was too small a truck for the job. Although i booked 2 months in advance and would have had plenty of time to make other arrangements, they took the job site unseen. This set the tone for the day as the movers (now having to make 2 trips) rushed and, in my opinion, made several bad decisions that did not work out well for me. In order to avoid an extra trip (which was absolutely required and did end up happening) they disassembled (or in some cases attempted to disassemble) several items. The thinking was if they packed everything tightly they would make only one trip. The end result here was, they made (and i paid for) two trips anyhow and items i owned were destroyed. They disassembled a book case, which i advised against. It broke beyond use (they did however deliver the broken pieces, thanks). They disassembled an antique hutch, in the family for 150 years, against our wishes. When bringing in the top piece, which was destroyed in the move, the laughingly said «this didn’t make the trip». This item alone, if repairable at all, will cost several hundred dollars to repair. Their haste also left us with a garage stacked to the ceiling with boxes (rather than put in their proper rooms), missing hardware from what they disassembled and wall damage throughout the house. I am sure they are generally capable but i would not recommend Coop’s Moving unless you have few possessions (and none you truly value)
