Failed to Show Up
Premiere's moving truck failed to show up for my move from New Westminster, BC to Edmonton, AB at the arranged time despite having confirmed with them twice before the move. When I called dispatch the truck was already late and I was informed that the truck had been out of contact for the last day. I reminded the dispatcher that I was only able to book the elevator in my building for the morning and I had to be out of my condo by noon, at which point I was told he would try to make other arrangements. After a half hour, not having received a call back from Premiere I phoned the dispatcher, who said arrangements were being made with a moving company nearby and the truck would be leaving shortly. Having the elevator for only another 90 minutes I began moving my belongings to the lobby.

The replacement truck hadn’t shown up after another 45 minutes, so I placed another call to Premiere. I was informed the replacement truck wasn’t going to be coming. I had not received a call informing me of this. I asked Premiere to arrange for a truck to move my belongings from the lobby of the condo to a nearby storage unit. The dispatcher assured me he would try to find something and get back to me. With very few options, I finished moving my belongings to the lobby.

At this point I was forced to phone Premiere again, since the dispatcher did not follow up with me. He said that he was unable to arrange alternate transportation, but assured me if I could wait until the morning they would be able to move me. Sitting on a pile of boxes in the lobby, I phoned other moving companies, trying to find someone to pick up my belongings out of the lobby.

I was very fortunate to find another company, who was able to arrive and start moving within an hour of my call (for a cheaper rate than Premiere). However if I, without any contacts in the moving business and just a smartphone at my disposal, could book a truck in that timeframe, surely Premiere should have been able to arrange a replacement. It speaks to a lack of interest on the part of Premiere’s staff.

I completed my move with a more competent, more customer-friendly company. Do not book with Premiere and go through the same ordeal that I did.
