Move from London to Sarnia

We are return customers of Brawny. We used John and his crew a few years ago and we were very pleased. It was such a relief to know they were taking care of our furniture and personal belongings. On November 15th, we moved my mother in law from London to Sarnia. Anthony, Peter and Lucas arrived on time and were very courteous, friendly and respectful. The move went smoothly. When we arrived in Sarnia my mother in law had a bad fall. Lucas was right there to offer his support. Much appreciated! (She ended up having a lot of stitches in her finger so missed the whole moving experience). All went well and
Anthony and Lucas assembled the bed after everything was moved into the apartment. We are so grateful for these two fellows and for all they did to make this move go smoothly.

Excellent Service - Used for the 2nd time

This is the second time we've hired John and his exceptional team of movers. We used them 3 years ago on a whim and was so impressed that we booked them again for our most recent move. Right on time we had 3 very strong and very polite young men show up. They got right to work and were very careful with our items. Absolutely nothing was damaged and they were very efficient with packing and getting our items in and out of the trucks. They were incredibly friendly and chatted with us a bit (while working), telling us about their programs at Western. It was refreshing to get movers that didn't seem sketchy, clearly were sober, were friendly, and didn't smoke. I can't recommend John and his team enough. It's worth booking quality movers when you're letting them into your homes to move your entire life. We won't book with anyone else.

2-bed apartment move

Brawny Movers were great. We (my wife, son and I) just moved across London, and Brawny helped make it a seamless move. Very professional, timely and helpful. On top of that, they were just very nice people and very good and patient (with a 3 year old running around).

Their prices are very fair. Plus their website is really great to allow you to take a look at prices, options and availability before booking. Happily recommend them to anyone interested. I will book them again for sure, for even smaller jobs like applicances and furniture purchases). Thank you to John and Chris and gang.

Owner does not keep his word

*Owner's response is unwarranted. He sent a notification to this site claiming I was not a paying customer in order to have an unfavourable and truthful review removed. I was able to send this review site a copy of our paid invoice. Owner deals with customers in a very passive-aggressive and contentious manner. All I ever wanted was an apology and acknowledgement for the damage to our items when the damage was originally brought to the owner's attention - and for the owner to keep him promise in trying to make things right. I offered to remove my review if owner was able to do what he told us he would do, but no such luck. Please do yourself a favour and choose a company that does not operate their business from a cell phone line and one that has a more established reputation as this company is very new and lacks experience/hires students.

Original: The movers themselves were polite. Damage to home and furniture though. Were not careful to wrap and manage all items appropriately. Dirty truck - filth to our lighter furniture and mattresses - even when we provided covers which were not used as instructed. Owner gave his word to "do whatever it takes to make customer happy" after making me feel small for bringing items to his attention, even when crew did not. Ultimately, did not follow through on his word - even after googling my husband's work phone number (which was very bizarre and inappropriate as not an appropriate way to contact due to the nature of his work). Use a more established business with a store front and reputation for good customer service and experience.

*****Secondary update: Homestars was never notified that Ashley hadn't paid. She did pay a reduced invoice 30 days after her move. Ashley continues to use her abundance of free time as an attempt to sabotage our business. Ashley still appears unaware that we are a 7 figure [soon to be 8 figure] business, with a large warehouse and fleet of vehicles no more than 2 years old.

***Update: Ashley called to harass us and we also have an email where she is claiming she will continue writing negative reviews if we don't send her money.

[As Ashley continues to copy and paste her review, we will continue to copy and paste our response.]

Hi Ashley,

Let's address the facts here:
1) Your house move was completed almost a month ago, within 6 hours, despite the pouring rain.
2) The truck used for your move is less than a year old. You'll be hard-pressed to find many moving companies using a fleet as new as ours.
3) You tipped each mover $40, implying that you were satisfied with the service
4) The moving crew notified me that I should take a look at a cushion that you claimed was "filthy" and there was a small impression on a crib. The guys said that you appeared to be difficult so I was there within an hour.
5) I could hardly see the any discoloration of the cushion that you said was absolutely filthy. The crib (that your husband had taken apart), did have an impression on a railing as well as part of a leg missing (on the inside, where it wasn't noticeable nor impaired any function).
6) I offered to have your cushion professionally cleaned that day. You resisted, stating that you would not be able to relax without it.
7) You stated that it was a brand new, $600 crib. While your husband and I agreed that this hardly justified a new replacement, you have had it set in your mind that I should buy you a brand new crib.
8 ) The following day, you sent me a long-winded email about how you were unable to relax due to the "filthy" cushion (that I had offered to have cleaned). You also mentioned that a small cap piece was lifted on a stair at your original home (which your husband had said, verbatim: "Don't worry about it" to my crew) and you sent a copy of your receipt for the crib - that was purchased 6 months prior, for $470.
9) I called your husband (who has his phone number listed in your email signature), as he had originally seemed like a reasonable man. I asked him what he thought would be the best course of action (as he likely knows you better than anybody) and both him and I are too busy to sacrifice much time on something so frivolous.
10 ) In an effort to avoid further wasted time, I applied a $300 discount to your invoice, in hopes that you would find something better to do with your time.

You are an example of an unreasonable person that will exaggerate everything.

Outstanding company that I have now recommended over and over!!

From the time John first came to my home to give me a quote I knew I was in good hands. His quote was well below any other company I priced and price did not change once move was completed. John and Tyler arrived early and got straight to work. Furniture was wrapped and everything was treated as if they owned it. Due to truck troubles his larger truck was unavailable for my move so they used a 16' footer and when everything didn't fit a sprinter truck arrived for the rest. Again stressing price did not change. John even dropped by the next day to make sure everything was ok and helped move some things around.

Toronto to London ON

This team worked very hard!
Such a hot day, such a lot of Toronto traffic, 2 pick ups and through it all they were smiling and pleasant.
So speedy too.
Highly recommend!
More than I wanted to spend, but fair cost once I realized what was involved.

Exemplar service, wonderful experience.

We have moved several times over the past few years, and as such, we have used many home service providers to help with moving, assembly, and general house work services. Of all of these Brawny Movers stands out because of their customer service, their timeliness, and their general wonderful demeanour.

From the first interaction to the completion of the service, the staff were courteous, professional, kind, and helpful. They took good care of the house (laying down mats and other such precautions) and left the house (taking away all the boxes and other such debris) cleaner than it was when they arrived.

Most of all, they went out of their way to make sure my needs were met, and over-delivered on what they committed. I will be calling them again and again, and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Fantastic Service

John and his crew helped us move across London today. They showed up on time and were very professional and polite. Everything they moved was handled with extreme care. All furniture was wrapped well to prevent damage. The movers were pleasant and incredibly efficient. The price was very reasonable compared to other area companies and was a great value for the high level of service they provided. I would highly recommend Brawny Movers and wouldn't hesitate to contact them for any future moves. Thanks so much for making our move so smooth!
