Desi Movers Inc. aka Dynamic Movers, aka Dynamite Movers, aka Comfortable Movers – Made arrangements for a move with Desi Movers, (Found them in the Yellow Pages) on March 4th, 2008.
Their man Jason, (donʼt know if that is his real name) assured me the
cost for a 26′ truck and two movers would be $60.00 per hour plus 1 hour travel time and that they were fully licensed and insured which Jason later confirmed on the telephone.
The movers show up over 1.5 hours late with no tools of any kind, no wrapping plastic and no wrapping tape. After two hours on site, one hour of which was spent on smoking breaks, they inform us the their truck is full which should have been impossible.
It is agreed that we will meet them at new home in 30 to 40 minutes or 1:10 PM. They do not show up until after 3:30 PM and when they do they park the truck on another street as opposed to our driveway. Before bringing the truck on site and unloading the driver wants to discuss money but is so
embarrassed it takes him another 10 minutes to try to justify and then present a bill for over $1,300.00!!!
After another 1 to 2 hours of constant arguing and the driver calling Jason on a cell phone that allegedly had only 2 minutes left on it is agreed that they will unload for a cash payment of $585.00, withhold a couple of leather cushions and I should go see Jason the following day to straighten things
out and get the cushions! (Jason did not have the guts to talk to me at the time)
Stupid me! I give these criminals the cash and they dump, yes, thatʼs right, they DUMP our belongings onto the Snow, Ice and Gravel of the Driveway while at the same time blocking my vehicle in the garage so that I cannot go anywhere! The wooden legs from our dining table & chairs and which have
3″ + or – carriage bolts were just thrown onto the webbing of the leather sofa & love seat causing several holes in addition to the other rips and tears.
I managed to take a photo of their truck before unloading. Not one single item had been wrapped or covered in blankets. Coffee table pressed against the side by side fridge sitting on the rough floor of the truck, etc., etc. – SuperGirl & Don Klees

On May 2008, I contacted “Desi Movers” from the Yellow pages ad and spoke with Jason. He quoted me $50/hour for 2 people and a truck. I mentioned I have a piano, he said he would charge $150 extra for it. I was moving from Scarborough to Pickering (27Km). He said it would take 5-6 hours and 1 hour extra travel time (because I do not have heavy furniture). We agreed over phone.
On June 17, 2008, 2 guys arrived named Moses and Kenny around 9:30am and asked for $400 as a deposit before they start. We gave them the money and collected a receipt (attached). They moved few things slowly to the truck and then charged $500 for the piano. We started arguing as $150 was agreed with Jason. I called Jason, he said he can not do anything, give the money to the guys and hung up on me. I called back several times and he did not pick up the phone. We were stuck in tough situation, so we paid the money. They continued moving very slowly. Around 2pm when our goods were all in the truck, Moses demanded another $500, unless he would not move the truck. We were shocked and did not know what to do, I wanted to call the police. Moses said if I call the police, they would not come as it is a civil case. I was so frustrated that I called “Dynamic Mover” from our community newspaper and talked with a guy named Altaf Hussain and described the situation. He said he will arrange a truck and call me back. While waiting for a call from Altaf Hussain, Jason called me and asked “If I contacted Dynamic Mover,
Dynamic is their people so give the money to Moses and get your goods in the new place”. I had no choice, ran to the bank and got another $500 for them. So, before they moved in my new place, which is only a 27km, I paid them ($400+500+500=1,400). They reached the new place after an hour (when it took us only 30min.) and parked their truck a few houses down when they should park in front of our garage door. Moses came with a final bill of $2,563.35(attached, so far we paid $1,400 cash); if $1,163.35 is not paid they are not going to unload the truck. We were so shocked and had no energy left to fight back. It was already 4pm, my husband is a blood pressure patient and he carries a disability licence. It was so much for him to take (he was already extremely tried by helping them upload the truck), He started feeling so sick, and I was so worried that he could collapse. While I was thinking about where I can get help, Moses came and threatened me “if you do not pay me now, I will take all your goods to our storage and come later to collect and will cost you a lot”. My husband said pay them as my husband was feeling so nervous and he looked very pale. Again He ran to the bank and got the rest $. They unloaded the truck and asked us to work with them as we wasted so much of their time on arguing and fighting. Moses and Kenny were so cruel and so rude, we requested them to put boxes inside the house but they dumped those in the garage. I spent a lot of time labelling those boxes.
They finished unloading (dumping in the garage) within an hour and in the process damaged my piano. As they left around 5:30 in the afternoon, they were laughing and singing so loud, making us feel stupid and foolish. While we were helping them upload and unload the truck, Kenny mentioned he dose not like to do this cheating job everyday but they are well paid. They have 2 bosses Robert and Jason. They took $2,500 for my small move. They damaged my piano which will cost me $1,000. – Kazi Haque

A Complete extortion / scam / nightmare.
They quoted me $40 per hour plus one hour travel time or $50 an hour with the insurance. I went for the insurance rate.
They showed up at 9:30 am and received a $300 deposit from me. They had no wraps for the furniture. In fact, they were using MY packing tape to secure doors and drawers on my furniture.
They loaded most of my things onto the truck and there were still some things that needed to be loaded when they said that I needed to give them another $200 otherwise they can’t move the truck to the new location. I told them I wasn’t going to do that. They let me speak to their “boss” Jason who then said that unless they had the money in CASH they will not move the truck. I had to get the money for them. I had no choice.
When I arrived at my new location they were not unloading the items but rather sitting in the truck. When questioned as to why they were not unloading they said they were making up the final bill – $1,115.50! This for a one bedroom condo move of which I had spent three weeks packing up and moving the smaller items and boxes in cars so that the movers would only be transporting the furniture.
They said that unless it was paid in full they would not unload but rather take my furniture to a storage facility and then I would have to pay to get it out. I had no choice but to pay.
They damaged some of my furniture. When the move was over I wanted the driver to sign that he was finished. He wouldn’t. He needed “Jason’s” approval. Jason refused to give it – and when asked who their insurance company was he lied about that too as I called that company and they do not insure commercial movers. Yet I am charged $350 for haulage and insurance. What a joke – their job is to HAUL the furniture and I paid for insurance that doesn’t exist.
In addition to all this my family members had to assist with moving the furniture.
Do no use these people!!! They will rip you off and it will be a nightmare. It is extortion and they are violating laws. They must be stopped. – Catwoman

aaaaaaaaaa
Another sleazy, immoral, poor excuse of a mover. I hired these clowns in 2005 and boy was I sorry!
The nerve of these people to use the word Quick in anything associated with them! Well, they were
quick all right, it only took them 16 hours to do a move that any other professional mover could have
accomplished in 5 – 6 hours or less!
Then, because it was in the wee hours of the morning when they finished, the move to the new
premises had to be postponed until the following day. The following morning we receive a telephone
call from their office demanding payment in cash or certified cheque delivered to them at once or
theyʼre not going to show up.
We finally got our property back later that day from these hoodlums but only after the Police were
called who informed Quick Boys that if they did not complete the move they would be charged with
theft.
No sooner do we get them straightened out about having to complete the move when 2 fully grown
men show up at the door begging to get paid, whining about having families who will not be able to
eat as they will be fired if I do not come up with the cash!
When it was finally over, about another 12 – 14 hours later, I paid by regular cheque.
Why is the Government of this Province and the Police for that matter, so willing to allow thieves like
these people to continue ripping off the public?
Editorʼs Note: As of June 28th, 2008, the Better Business Bureau reports that Quick Boys of
Richmond Hill A company has an “unsatisfactory business performance record” with the BBB is based
on the experiences reflected in BBB files. They have 11 Complaints in the past 36 months

My name is Pacy, and I own Pacy’s Moving & Storage in Oakville. I Will not stand for any more of this ” SCAMMING PEOPLE” and holding Your Belongings Hostage ! I was called to help out a wonderful couple who had everything they owned in a truck owned by this Comfortable moving company and the driver would not unload their belongings unless they paid 1400$ for 2 hours work!?!? After speaking with me, the police where there, and they took their stuff off the truck, but not before they broke many items.. I was there 10 minutes later and did the job in 2 hrs.. I have attempted to contact this owner many times, but have had no response back. I am now working with anyone who has been held captive by a moving company, to make sure this stops!! If you have ever been or you know someone who has had a problem with this or another company, please contact me directly 24/7 @ 905 510 7111 Pacy.. Together we can make a difference! Your New Best Friend..Pacy..
We are the couple Pacy is referring to who were scammed by these movers called comfortable. Only they are comfortable in scamming people. I had to call the police but they did not help. I am surprised with so many complaints against them they do not have a record for the police to help. It was disappointing. I subsequently saw these jerks at a mall in Scarborough. They did not see me but one thing I noticed that both these jerks were looking around while they were walking. It is clear that they are always on the lookout for running into anyone they scammed. I am going to go after them upon my return to Canada. These jerks should be shut behind bars
If you need a good mover use Pacy. He is very professional, excellent in terms of finishing the move on time and goes out of the way to accommodate our needs. Wish there were more Pacys around
The joke is these jerks from comfortable movers said that they don’t even go to Mcdonalds since it was junk food and they eat food from home. After scamming us for the move I saw the same jerk at Mcdonalds at a mall. Never ever use them. The so called owner who calls himself as Robert has his real name as Hussain. It is time some one takes serious action against them. Despite calling the police nothing happened

This same group is now advertising as Indo Pak Movers. They pulled the same scaml with our familly 2 days ago. I am currently following the directions found on the Ontario Government website http://www.gov.on.ca/mgs/en/ConsProt/STEL02_168950.html where they give instructions on how launch a formal complaint against the Consumer Protection Act. First you have to write a letter of complaint (I’m using their sample)and have it delivered to the address of the business which I have located using their previous telephone number of 1-888-741-8107 listed at postal code M1S 2V6, which is one of the houses numbered between 2 and 28 Brownspring Road, Scarborough. Indo Pak is operated under 1715130 Ontario Limited but I have not confirmed this is valid. The licence plate of the truck was Ontario plate 273 2WP.
I am proceeding to write the letter and send it by registered mail, and then will proceed with the Ministry of Small business to formally launch a complaint with the Ministry. I have gone to Google earth to look up 6 to 28 Brownspring Road and it looks like a residential area. They have now changed their contact telephone as 416-320-0916 which is a cell phone. The two young men: one white with a bandana and the other a black young man with an african accent.
If anyone lives close in Scarborough to Brownspring road, it would help if we could narrow down their street number.
Can you help?
In addition, I tried to fax my letter of complaint to 416-741-8776 and a man answered “Desi Movers`, but would not receive the fax. So I emailed my complaint to them at desimoverstorage at yahoo.ca
I have asked for a refund of $329.00 in mischarged costs.
I have fallen victim to this Indo pak movers.
they have taken my $500 and 21 inch flat screen tv. I need their address including number on the steet. contact on discos3@yahoo.com
Beware of Fraud Desi movers!!!!!!!!
I hired Desi movers to move stuff-I didnt have much
They asked me $40 per hour plus an additional $40 as service charge. So he said it will come to $120 and i agreed. They came in and soon the black guy started calling Jay–”The Fraud” on the phone. They asked for a deposit of $300 which I said I dont have. Black Guy then called Jay again on the phone and took $120 dollars from me. He moved few boxes to the curb, again started calling Jay on the phone and started demanding for $300 . I said NO–U agreed for $120. Jay asked the workers to stop moving. And they left my things on the road and left. I told him i will call the Police–He was saying go ahead.So finally They didnt move my things and robbed me of $120.I was in tears. I really wish something should be done against Fraudulent people like this
Beware, these assholes are now also operating under the name SUPREME MOVERS. They have various ads on Kijiji using various names. This guy “Jay” now guys by “Jonathan” and he quoted me $160 for everything in total, and ended up charging me $787! They took off with my $300 deposit, and I had to call the police cause these losers were threatening to leave with all my stuff in their truck. The worst part, I am 81/2 months pregnant, and they couldnt have been any ruder to me! Police said they couldnt do anything so these pricks took off with my $300 and didnt even move my stuff anywhere, cause they ended up dumping it all back out onto the dirty floor outside of my condo complex. I had to then get another mover asap, and pay again. I complained to the BBB, but it doesnt look like they are going to do anything about it. I want to take these crooks to court. Anyone else want to join in?
I am in the process of suing these bastards. If anyone has some details regarding license plate numbers of the trucks they drive, or anything that may be of help, let me know.
It looks like their website is located here:
http://www.goldbook.ca/EastToronto/Moving-Storage/9233_Desi-Movers.html
It looks like their new business SUPREME MOVERS has also posted on kijii and craigslist
here is there cell phone number seen in a google search which links to all of their bogus ads

Hi there, I’ve noticed a lot of complaints online about Desi Movers…and for good reason too. I am a former employee of Desi Movers and now own my own company. So I am going to exploit them for the fraud artist (which is exactly what they are) here in this post. #1 There are more than 1 comany under the Desi Movers umbrella. there is Desi Movers, Comfortable Movers, Elizibeth Movers, A-1 Express Movers, Dynamic Movers and maybe more. They will all scam you exactly the same. #2 You will talk to 2 people over the phone…Ones name is Jason and the others name is Robert. They will give you a rate over the phone and if you are lucky they will tell you that there is a 3 hour mininum charge plus 1 hour charged for travelling time. The reality is that there is a 4 hour minimum plus 1 hour travel. #3 Extra Charges…here they come…So if it takes (for example) 5 hours to load the truck and get to the drop off location you will be charged 5 hours to unload the truck…even if it doesn’t take that long. There is a charge of $30 for every flight of stairs that are invloved…if there are 4 flights…you will be charged $120 for them. And 1 other thing…the flights are at the movers descretion which means you have a 3 step walk up to your house…$30. If there are any heavy items (heavy desk for example)…$30. Any appliances(fridge,stove,washer,dryer)…$30 each. Sofa Bed…$30. If there is an extra drop off of any kind you will be charged…you guessed it…$30. That’s all the extras i can remember at this point. #4 Now…when they arrive at your home you will be asked to sign a contract where all the above is written in small print…it will not be mentioned and most people just sign wanting the job to get started. You now are obligated to pay all of that. When the movers arrive at the drop off location you will be required to pay the whole bill at that point as they have all your items on the truck locked up. They will not unload until the bill is payed in full. #5 The Terrible Part…Your movers might just unload everything in the driveway/move room and leave you to do all the work yourself. The worst part about all of this is that The moving company is completely protected in all of this. if you call the police they will tell you that it is all a matter for small claims court and that you have signed a contract so you are obligated to pay it all. Your best bet is to not hire any of these companys and if you have to pay a bit more for a reputable comany like Tippet Richardson or 2 Men and a Truck…you will atleast know what you are getting into. So there you have it…right from the “horses mouth”. Don’t fall victim to these jerks. You will live to regret it and you will just be funding people that live of the gulability of others. Thank you. PS Not that it makes much of a difference…Desi movers aren’t owned buy Indians…they are from Banledesh. Just another lie.
Did anyone get a resolution against Indo-pak movers. I am planning to file a complaint with the consumer protection or BBB, but wanted to know if it is worth. Any feedback would be appreciated.
We are victim of Indo Pak movers.
We would like to know what is the best approach as police denies any role of them.
Lengthy and time consuming civil suit will be useful or futile. We want effective measures to be taken so that Govt. may wake up to take punitive actions on Indo Pak movers.
Toronto Police Fraud Squad are now investigating them. Detective Peter Ward peter.ward@torontopolice.on.ca is the contact. You must have copies (scanned images or photocopies) which include the formal complaint to the Consumer Protection Branch lead investigator Wendy Christensen; copies of their contract; receipt of payment; full description of the events and people involved. Detective Ward has indicated he prefers to speak to the victims and it saved time to be able to email him a scanned copy of the complaint form. Good Luck all!
I got ripped off by these guys today!!! They are now called “Supreme Movers” I ended up paying them $1,800 for a small move! Don’t wanna get into details today but anyone of you guys are taking acition? I really want to send these guys to court! Anyone is going to talk to Detective Ward? I will be joining!
Hi,
I am one of the Confortable Mover’s victims. I have pics and license plate number of the truck they used. If anyone needs this to help them with their claim, please e-mail me.
I also want to file a complaint with Small Claims Court about them. Please e-mail me if you’d like to join me in this.
We need to put an end to the f*%^ed up business!
I called SUPREME MOVERS AND STORAGE AT 416-660-9081 to move my 2 Bedroom House. I was quoted on the phone 2 men and a truck, $40 an hour plus one hour for truck. We made arrangement for 3Pm, they keep calling me and pushing me to do it earlier, but I wasn’t ready, they showed up at 1pm. The two men (One of Indian descent and the other of African descent) came in. I was presented with a contract and the guy said they are in a hurry to sign the contract based on my agreement on the phone and demanded $450 deposit. So I did. I told them that van is too small, they assured me that if they need another van they will have it at my house in a hurry. They took some smoke breaks moved a few pieces of furniture into the van and told me it is full. They only got a few pieces of my living room into the van. I asked where is the other van, I was told to wait till they get their paper work done first, and they took twenty minutes in their van doing it all the while talking to their office. They returned with a bill of $1006.00 to have it deliever 25km away and that I must pay it before the truck moved from there. That’s when I realize it was a scam. My wife and my 8 weeks old baby was left harrased. We were emotionally distraught that something like this could happen to us in Canada, I called the police, they said it is a civil matter, that they couldn’t help me. I paid and got them to deliver it to my place, they dropped it off on the driveway and sped off. I couldn’t begin to tell you here of what we went through and how much more it cost me to move the rest of my stuff…I am still trembling in shock and disgust. This delayed us and caused us many undue suffering. My wife google this company and there were many cross references showing Desi movers (that was the name on the small truck/van), Indo-Pak and Supreme Movers. (Apparently they keep changing their names and numbers…be careful!) There were many people scamed by these company according to what we read online. So, please be careful ordering online any Movers you don’t know or was referred to you. I am willing to get involved to put these scammers in jail.

I called up Desi movers, they are completely immoral, heartless people. I had one room to be moved the total time took 2.5 hours. They charged me over 950 dollars. They charged GST which is illegal. The double charged me for the travel. They threatened me if I didn’t pay they would dump my stuff out. I really wish I had read all of these reviews before I called them, it ruined my day and my bank account. Thanks for nothing Desi movers!
I too was scammed by these movers on January 8th 2010. I was told that it was $40/hour per mover plus $40/for the truck. After they loaded all of my belongings on the truck they informed me it would be an additional $899.00 or they would dump my things in the snow. i was stuck and had to pay them. Now they are refusing to return my calls as there was damage to the walls and door fraames of my house and they destroyed one of my wood pieces of furniture. I also had boxes missing. Beware folks!!! I am going to CITY TV and asking Silverman for help!!
Please let me know how I can help. I too was scammed. Only for $600 of the $900 after calling the police and threatening to call the BBB. I was made to understand the move would cost roughly $320
