I Paid for a Service — I Got Lost Property Instead

I rarely write reviews, but this situation has been genuinely painful. Bust a Move Moving Company lost my fine china set — something deeply sentimental to me — and also misdirected several of my belongings to another city.

Mistakes can happen, but what has made this especially difficult is the lack of acknowledgment or follow-up from the company. There has been no real effort to take responsibility or make things right.

Losing meaningful possessions is hard enough without feeling ignored afterward. I hope sharing this helps others make an informed decision.

Excellent

An excellent experience from start to finish.

Getting the quote & booking were handled professionally and smoothly. The price was VERY competitive.

They provided tons of useful information in advance, and stayed in contact throughout the process.

Moving day was a breeze with a well prepared and well equipped team of real pros. On-time, efficient, exceedingly careful with everything, and friendly & helpful to boot.

Highly recommend.

Super équipe

Sympathiques, compréhensifs, rapides et efficaces. C'est exactement ce dont j'avais besoin, et à un prix honnête en plus!

Ils ont tout fini avant 15h et étaient attentifs à nos demandes (où mettre quoi, quels objets devaient être ramassés en priorité, etc.).

Ils ont aussi démontré une attitude positive et professionnelle lors des contacts avant et après le déménagement. Très apprécié, merci Bust-a-Move!

All we needed and more. We managed to organize a move with the team of Bust-A-Move within a week, from the North shore (St-Colomban) to the South shore (St-Jean-sur-Richelieu), and under a 1000$ too. If that is not an excellent and amazing service, I don't know what is. Professionals from beginning to the end, from the sale team to the movers. Thanks for everything. You're truly the best movers around! Do believe the hype!

Thanks again for believing the hype — we’ll keep working hard to live up to it!

Too bad there's only 5 stars ?

I have moved many times in my lifetime. But Bust A Move Montreal went above and beyond in all aspects of my move. The 3 guys were fun. Respectful . Efficient. They did not work too fast being careful with my possessions or too slow.... no slacking! Nice steady amicable work. The team worked well ❤ together and were very patient. I Highly recommend Bust A Move.

6 Stars!

Moving a Chubby Mum on Crutches

My handsome husband relaxed and stopped stressing because we hired Bust a Move! Last week Simon and Christopher collected and moved a funky mechanical desk for me..., the lads even fixed an already broken drawer!

Today, Taylor, Michael, and Nate did the impossible: they drove to 2 different farms in Monteregie to collect furniture and then chugged up to Montreal and unloaded everything while I complained about my children.

Did I mention there was a snowstorm today? Did I mention I can't walk to even PRETEND to help the lads? I will NEVER ask anyone else for help again. Bust a Move lads are now my moving company and I hope they continue to take over the world with kindness! Thank you Bust a Move!

Fun & Professional!

Juan & Tyler were a great team- they showed up in time, started immediately and worked through the day. They were very careful with the pieces that required a little extra attention and were mindful of entrance doors and hallways. Smiling and polite, they were a treat to communicate with, and I enjoying their music selection that played from their portable speaker. All in all, great experience, thanks guys!

Terrible Moving Experience

We worked with bust a move 3 times.

The first two times were great. The last time was a flaming dumpster fire.

They lost some of our valuables, sent some stuff to the wrong city, and took ZERO responsibility. To call it a dispointment would be an understatement.

Our family was super upset, and then their insurance compamy wouldn't support without countless materials that were not possible to produce.

I would NEVER work with them again. I'm actually quite sorry to write this, but wow. what a terrible experience. DO NOT USE

Great move Montreal-Ottawa.

I have moved twice with Bust A Move now and both times everything went very well. The most recent move was in November 2018 from Montreal to Ottawa. The staff was friendly and polite, all items arrived safely to destination and on time, and it was all pretty fast! They also wrap all furniture with blankets to avoid scrapes. I strongly recommend Bust A Move.

Smoothly despite some snow, from Toronto to Montreal.

I had only a couple of weeks to book a move from Toronto to Montreal. I asked for quotes from a few companies and Bust a Move was from far the best company when taking into account service quality (provided their insurance certificate from the 1st contact), speed of the move, and price.
They arrived late both in TO and Mtl because of the road (snow and accidents) but were quite diligent about it. They called and arrived exactly at the time they announced one hour prior.
The movers were professional and personable.

Awesome movers.

Very respectful, very good, very amicable and most importantly very quick. Moved my entire apartment at a blazing speed while causing no damages. Honestly if I knew how careful they would be I wouldn't have spent hours bubble wrapping so much of my stuff.

Will use this service again and recommend it to my friends.

My movers were Marius and Ben. Paczki for the win!

Great job.

This was my second time using Bust a Move. Both experiences were top notch and I readily recommend using this company. Mariusz, Pastrana and Leo handled my move yesterday. They were punctual, efficient, friendly, calm, and well-nature. They handled all the added stressors of a move (within the crowded central area of the city) with a smile. It was a pleasure to move with them. Throughout the experience, everyone I dealt with at Bust a Move(in person and over the phone) went out of their way to make things go smoothly. Thanks for everything!

Very satisfied with Bust a Move.

My decision to use Busy a Move was encouraged by good recommendations from a couple of friends who had also used this company, I was not disappointed!

Firstly, the support and information that was provided prior to the move was very reassuring. My multiple questions were answered and I was promised that they would do everything to make sure the move went well. I was not disappointed, the move was a great success !

The three men (Marius, Juan and Michael) arrived on time and got straight to work just before 8am. We did not stop all day and completed the move at 7:30pm.

The team was able to make a pick up at two locations and deliver to 2 other locations over the course of the day. Their timing was very well coordinated and they adusted the initial plan during the course of the day to make sure that one delivery was made within a required specific time frame.

Marius, Juan and Michael were very polite and supportive all day long. They worked incredibly hard and we were very happy and exhausted at the end of the day!

I have already recommended Bust a Move to a friend and will not hesitate to do so to others.

Thank you for making a molehill out of my mountain!

Excellent service.

I paid a bit more for Bust a Move compared to other companies, but the peace of mind was worth it. Everything was loaded in an hour and the whole move took three. (I had everything packed in stackable boxes.) The crew was professional and communicated well. And nothing got damaged along the way. Would highly recommend for those who need peace of mind more than they need the absolute lowest price.

Bust-a-move MTL to Laurentians.

I would give Bust-a-move a million stars if I could. Jamal, Ben, and Lau were on time, super pro, friendly, efficient, and strong. Also, they were genius tetris truck packers. I still don't understand the physics of how they got everything in the truck: we have _tons_ of stuff. They definitely made the stressful experience of moving a pleasure. I almost want to move again, just to hire them again.
