Long-distance move from Montreal-Ouest, QC to Ottawa, ON

Highly recommended

Excellent communication from all those involved. The three movers were friendly There were many follow ups to ensure that there was no misunderstanding. The service was timely and professional from beginning to the end. We had a good experience from the start to the finish. We had two pick up location and it went quick and it was all smooth. We moved from Montreal to Ottawa. No surprise. I highly recommend this company.

Estimate was way off but the movers were fas fantastic

First off: my move ended up costing nearly three times the estimate I was initially quoted, so that should be borne in mind. However, I figured the estimate was optimistic (just not that much!) so it didn't cause us too much difficulty. Just be aware of it.

That said, the service from the movers themselves on the day was fantastic. We had a slightly complicated move: empty my apartment, take three appliances to a friend's place, empty my partner's apartment, then move into our new place. All the apartments (except the friend with the appliances) were on the third floor.

The men we were sent were all very courteous, friendly, efficient, and obviously preoccupied both with going as speedily as possible but also with being careful with our belongings. Anything that needed it was carefully wrapped. They responded helpfully and accommodatingly to any special requests.

At my friend's house with the appliances, I watched as they carefully analyzed how to get the appliances through tough corners without damaging the doorknobs etc., and they did it! They also cheerfully removed my friend's old appliances to the curb, but the lead mover made a point of insisting that the doors be removed from the old refrigerator for child safety, and I was impressed by his care for that.

The estimate was so far off because of the huge amount of time the whole move took, but nobody could have done it any more quickly and efficiently than these men did. With the one caveat about the estimates, I know who I'll recommend to friends in the future.

Screwed me over

I called for a quote and availability. A guy answered and said they were available but still needed me to fill out the form. So I did, however, I got no email confirmation or call by the next day. So I called the day after and the sameguy answered and apologized that they forgot to send an email confirmation and now the slots are full. I asked for the earliest availability and he hung up on me.

Excellent service, polite and efficient movers, accurate quote

The initial appointment time was for early morning, and I asked to have it moved to be a little bit later. They moved the time promptly and without complaint.

The movers themselves called me about 15 minutes prior to arriving, and throughout the whole process they were very polite and efficient. No damage to my items or the units, all of the furniture was very well wrapped, and they listened to my comments on which items needed special handling.

The final price was slightly lower than the quote, so their cost estimation is on point!

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent moving company!

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!

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!

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.

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!
