Very happy I used this company

I was actually shocked at the expert driving skills of one of the movers. He maneuvered that truck around an illegally-parked car in the way of where we needed to offload the truck that my significant other side I applauded at the end.

Very fast, very careful. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Outstanding moving company for excellent value

ABS movers helped us move from one apartment to another with great professionalism and skill. Other companies we investigated quoted us between $800 and $1400. ABS charged us less than $500. There are no hidden fees and the movers were friendly and unbelievably hard working. We were slightly nervous to begin with because the booking was done over the phone without an emailed estimate, but don't let this dissuade you. They were as good as their word and better in the end. I would highly recommend this company.

Move

ABS Movers & Storage rates were very competitive and the move occurred without any issues. They showed up on time and completed the move in the estimated time frame. Thanks for making my move fast and simple!

Movers

Honestly, don't bother calling another moving company. I had 1 mover booked weeks in advanced for New Year's day and even though, I followed up with him, and even spoke to them on the phone twice that morning, they didn't show up. I called another company and they gave me quote I agreed to and when the mover showed up they basically told me on the side that the boss was going to charge me hundreds more than he quoted because of "hidden" fees. ABS were my last hope and not only did they show up, late in the day (on New Year's Day), they made me feel better about what felt like the worst possible day, they were unbelievably helpful, and the price was fantastic! The movers even helped me by suggesting the best place in my new apartment for my couches and dressers, they gave me tips I would never have thought I would have got from movers. They have been in the business for a very long time. One of the movers had worked for the company for over 20 years. That is unheard of and just goes to show you what an amazing company this is. I would recommend this company to everyone and anyone that is looking for a moving company. I would never call anyone else.

Move

This was the 4th time I have used ABS Movers. Moe and Alex were great, as always. Smiling, hard-working and conscientious with my possessions. And reasonable rates, to boot. Always a good experience with this company, and Moe and Alex in particular. I find any negative reviews in here hard to believe. These guys really deliver great service.
I'm a real estate agent, in sales myself. And I really appreciate having good companies to recommend to my clients.

Extremely satisfied customer

Hired this company last minute for a move. They arrived with all equipment needed. My friends told me to make sure I wasn't getting charged extra for certain fees. When the bill arrived it was exactly what I was told over the phone.
Wouldn't trust anyone else with my belongs.
Great job.

Finally an honest company

I have called several companies in order to move our marketing company. Abs had showed up on time and ready to work. There workers were friendly honest and knew what they were doing. We have now booked them again to move our second location.
100% recommend them.

All BS Movers — When Your Drunk Uncles Are Too Busy

Because really, your drunk uncles would do a much better job for a lot less money.

Total Time & Cost - To move 1 person in a 1.5 bedroom 1.5 km: 6 hours and $1525 in costs, fees and tips.
________________________________________
1) ‘No Hidden Fees’ – How about:
(i) a 2% VISA surcharge [they’ll try to tell you that HST is still at 15%]
(ii) a $50 packing fee, because they’ve dropped boxes and needed to repack them, and
(iii) a mandatory $40 tip for each mover [that they tell you about when you get the bill].
o Just these 3 hidden fees added $400 to my moving bill.
________________________________________
2) The Movers –
(i) More is Not Better. The owner will hard sell you on getting more movers. You think twice the movers means things will go twice as fast. Wrong. The 1 guy spent the entire time re-arranging things in the truck that was only half full. Another guy was a chain smoker.
(ii) Grubby. Their dolly is freshly oiled. You’ll know because you’ll see a trail of oil to and from your front door into your apartment. And oily hand prints all over your furniture.
(iii) Careless. You’ve marked your boxes with fluorescent ‘fragile’ stickers on all sides. You’ve labelled what room each box should go into. Then they all just get dropped in a pile in the first spot available.
(iv) Whiny. From the moment they start, the movers begin making the case for their $40 tip. It’s hot out. Your boxes are heavy. The stairs are steep. This goes on for the entire move.
(v) Psychic. 30 minutes into the move, the movers already knew how long the move was going to take. Without even seeing the place you’re moving into. And they dragged their feet to make sure they hit their target.

Company Response

Regarding the comment above, could the anonymous writer please approach us anytime directly at 416-588-1499 to talk regarding an agreement on this matter if this is found to be a move made by our company as we doubt the veracity of this move.
We answer all reviews and we are always pleased to respond to them.
When reviewers' emails or names are witheld to the business owner it is very difficult to respond efficiently and we encourage our clients that have a disagreement to talk to us directly if they want.
We deal with many moves per month and so far we can't identify the move description outlined above or the authenticity of the customer's description.
Finally, we value our customers and our business equally and agree they should never have to pay more than necessary as expressed on our website.

Great Moves and Storage!

Timely, Organized and very compassionate for people in transition. As a `last minute`` booking, they went into action at once to accommodate my situation. Great Storage service too! Highly Recommend
