Herculean effort

When I saw the young guys I was a bit worried. Do they really understand how important my goods are to me? :) Sounds funny but all my life in these boxes and furniture. My furniture was heavy, but how these movers transported everything was amazing. After few hours I understood that everything is more than under control. They are professional. I just did not know how to thank them enough. Im not sure if I move anywhere in the near future but I will recommend these herculeans to all my friends!

Not easy

I am, by no means, an easygoing client. But I had no issues with the way Centennial handled my move. They were punctual, efficient and very friendly. The movers amazed me with their skills and strength. Their loading abilities were out of this world. I was told that they would deliver everything within 10 days. The truck showed up at my new house on the 10th day. I was constantly looking for flaws but unfortunately I couldn’t find any. Even their final bill was bang on the original estimate.

Relocated competently

E1E 4C2

Centennial was there for me when I needed them most. They ensured successful relocation for me. They did all that was within their reach to ensure that I was relocated competently. I am so thrilled with the eventual turn out of things. The rates, the timelines and the dedication to service were all amazing. They are truly a top relocation company. I recommend Centennial to any person who is out for a reliable relocation company, I suggest to them to give them a call if they are not so sure of where to head for quality relocations. The way the movers handled my items was safe and efficient. I wouldn’t want any of my friends to miss out on that either and that is why I will recommend them.

Breaking COVID laws

This afternoon Centennial Moving Company delivered items to my home. Upon arrival, they were asked to wear a mask, as it is currently the law in New Brunswick to do so. We had a box of masks available to them. They refused to wear a mask, and proceeded to enter my home, after driving items from Alberta, to New Brunswick. I contacted the manager of Centennial Moving Company - Moncton Location, about how upset I was with the fact that their movers did not listen to our request, and put us and our family at risk by entering my home without a mask on, while in Orange-Phase.

This manager told me it is TOO DIFFICULT (I’m still laughing about this) to walk up and down stairs while wearing a mask. He agreed with his movers, and stated that they shouldn’t wear one. After stating multiple times that it is, in fact, the LAW to wear a mask in any public place, or entering someone else’s home, he told me he doesn’t care, and that I am wrong. After repeating multiple times that this is not ok, he told me he doesn’t care, and that he doesn’t want me to contact him, or the office ever again about today’s issue. I am absolutely disgusted with the way he chose to deal with customer service complaints.

Not sure how this man, or his employees think they can pick and choose which laws they follow. However, he was very adamant that the law to wear masks in public and other people’s homes does not pertain to his delivery drivers.

Dear Chantale, we are terribly sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with us. Whilst an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your experience on this case, we do extend it with sincerity. We are thankful for you to pin point this situation which happened at your delivery location. Indeed it's hard for movers to breathe in the mask while they're moving heavy appliances up and down the stairs. As well all of our staff members are getting checked for COVID on the weekly bases, so none of them could have get the virus while driving in the truck for the whole time. In case if you were afraid, you could just wear the mask yourself and tell them where to bring the heavy appliance with a distance of 1-2 meters. We're sorry for the situation which happened with the manager and he did apologize to you in the separate conversation. Nevertheless the move itself was smooth, nothing was damaged, broken, missing and was delivered on time. You could have just let us know of the situation so we could handle from our side, because the service itself we provided was on the great level. Best regards, Centennial Moving Team.

My precious

I used Centennial at the end of Sept for my move from Winnipeg to Toronto. They were great especially given the challenges of the pandemic. They were prompt, very fast and were completely done within the window that I was quoted. Very professional and moved all of my precious items with ease. I would definitely recommend them and use them when I'm in need of another move in a few years.

Call these first

I've had some bad movers in my time, but Centennial wasn't one of them. Nothing was broken or damaged but treated with respect. They worked hard and they worked fast, but they also worked carefully. They showed up on time and didn't rip me off, which I've had happen before with others. The moving truck was in good shape, clean and in good repair. the delivery was just as good. It was like they were moving themselves and not doing a job. I hate moving, but Centennial Moving made the job so much easier. I would definitely refer my friends to them. If we ever move again, I will call these movers first.

dishonest practice

I used them to move my stuff from AB to QC. After picking up my stuff they claimed they went to a scale and my stuff weighs 3200 lb. They didn't know that I weighed my stuff myself and they are 2400 lb. When I asked them about the ticket scale they alleged that the scaling facility doesn't provide tickets due to COVID-19 situation. I called the facility myself and it turns out this is not true at all.

After many rounds of negotiations, they offered to scale my stuff in front me but on condition that they will charge me more if the second scale within 10% of their value. When we re-weighed the stuff it turns out exactly as I expected (to put in $ value, they were about to charge me $800 more than they should).

They didn't apologize or even provide any reasonable explanation of how their weight was 800lb more than the actual value.

Save yourself the hassle, and look for an honest company.

Dear Mostafa, we are terribly sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with us. Whilst an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your experience on this case, we do extend it with sincerity. We are always using MTO scaling facilities and since the outbreak of pandemic started, they don't allow us inside of the facility, their staff weight the truck and the results are showed on the screen of the scale, that's why we provide them with our letterhead where they imprint the results and pass back to our driver. And that letterhead we scan and send to you when the scaling ticket is requested. We always advise the rescale option in case if don't agree and in case if they weight is more or less than 10% of our value, we always adjust the final payment based on it, without keeping your extra payment. We're sorry for any inconvenience that might caused you, but you paid for the correct amount and the items were delivered in a good shape and on time.

Heartily recommend

These guys are amazing, true professionals. Max, Dan and Roman were very organized and fast, they also helped us disassemble the tables. It was a very smooth move, they truly know what they are doing. And deal for the price was an icing on the cake. I heartily recommend these guys!

Unpleasant long-distance move

Update January 14, 2021
After multiple correspondences with senior staff since posting the initial review, we negotiated to settle our differences and I was compensated. We clearly had different expectations of the service standards. Ultimately, all my items were delivered and intact. We acknowledged that there were some factors beyond our control. I have since increased the rating because of the satisfactory final outcome.

Initial review on November 12, 2020
Very unpleasant long-distance move from Toronto to Vancouver this summer. 0 stars. Please read before choosing this company.

Pick-up was smooth but delivery was a disaster!
- gave little delivery notice (on a long weekend) and the alternative to charge extra for storage and redelivery fees
- first delivery: 15 of 25 items missing, mover Costa did not offer any explanation and wanted me to sign the receipt
- after multiple phone conversations and emails, located 14 items in their warehouse and 1 item delivered to another customer on the same date, scheduled for redelivery on a Sunday
- company replied that Costa was the only staff handling jobs in Vancouver; logically, he was likely responsible for delivery errors
- second delivery: unexpected knock on my door one day ahead (saturday) without confirmation by Costa again; company's response was Costa explained to Dispatch who was 'too busy' on a weekend to confirm with the customer so they came anyway
- Costa did not offer any explanation or apologies for the error, dropped 15 items OUTSIDE of my home on a wet ground, refused to discuss and drove away in the middle of a conversation
- Rex and Kian from customer service/claims offered blanket statement replies that it was bad luck and errors happen - even if it was 60% of items missing
- used pandemic and employee stress as an excuse
- many boxes and items were in poor condition, a reflection of lack of care during the move
- poor communication: long holds on phone that leads to full voicemails (cannot leave message), slow response to email

In my opinion, centennial moving is an extremely unprofessional company that tolerates multiple employee errors and misbehaviours with no accountability. Recommend avoiding at all costs or risk being treated like this.

Dear Customer, we are terribly sorry for the unpleasant experience you had with us. Whilst an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your experience on this case, we do extend it with sincerity. We always provide 2 days in advance notice for both pick up and delivery, since we're consolidated movers, we can't tell the time frame much more in advance in order to not mislead customers in case if something changes. We can't just dispose your items, so we offered option of storage since initially you couldn't accept the delivery, since we pay our workers hourly, storage and redelivery fees could have applied in this case. Indeed we have a lot of problems due to the current pandemic, especially with the amount of staff members, so Costa at the moment was the only one who was handling the jobs in the area. We're sorry for miscommunications which happened because of this and spoke with Costa several times after that to avoid something like this to happen in the future. We still delivered all items in 1 piece, but with a delay and we're sorry for that, thankfully all items were found and delivered intact. In case if you had any damages or broken items, you could always apply the form to Claims Department, so they could compensate you back based on your coverage plan with us. We're really sorry and implementing the new techniques right now to cover up the problems which arose due to the pandemic. Best regards, Centennial Moving Team.
