Centennial Moving

I was moving from Toronto to Echo Bay and decided to use Centennial Moving because of how promptly and kindly they responded to my request for a quote. Ron and Eugenearrived on time and were very friendly. I have a lot of stuff and was amazed how quickly they were able to load and unload everything. Also I believe this is the first move I have not heard a box being dropped and glass breaking. Needless to say I am impressed. I would highly recommend them and I will be using them for my next move.

We went with centennial cause they were the cheapest option we had that didn’t seem outright sketchy, and we had friends who used them previously. We were doing a move from a city center in Alberta, to a rural community in BC. Their communication was good before we approached the window for pickup. My emails would get responded to pretty quickly. There was a student rate which was very helpful. There was also a lot that happened that was kinda frustrating though.

-We were given a delivery window of a week before the date we asked, or into the next month, which we didn’t have access to our apartment anymore. We had to go with the earlier week so our delivery window was originally set to be the 9th to the 13th.

-Friday before our delivery window I emailed asking if perhaps I could get a better estimate on when the truck would show up within the 5-day window. I emailed on Friday and didn’t hear anything back until the Monday, saying now that they wouldn’t be picking up until Saturday the 15th due to truck maintenance. They had told us that they didn’t hear anything about this until that day also. While I understand that sometimes things out of your control happens, it was really frustrating to hear days after the issue occurred.

-Dispatch has our contact information and if something was going wrong, we really should have been alerted as soon as possible. We originally had plans to be away for the weekend and had to scramble to change our plans.

-It would have been nice to have a heads up when they were on their way. We were told they would show up between 9-11am. At 8:30 I got a call, assuming they were saying they were on their way. Turns out they were already outside and I had to scramble to get my dog put away and get dressed.

-The movers who arrived to pick up our stuff was pretty good. They seemed to take care in wrapping up the furniture. They did scuff up the floor in the bedroom a bit, which took some work to get out.

-They were very firm in the fact that we had to reserve parking for their 70 foot truck at both locations. Turns out this wasn’t the case in either scenario. They just boxed in cars while loading up the truck on pickup. When they showed up at drop off they had a smaller truck.

-The people who dropped off didn’t seem to take as much care as the team who picked up. Boxes that were clearly labeled were carried in and placed upside down. A foot of our TV was completely torn off. There was a giant scratch in our antique dresser. The other antique dresser was all scuffed up on the bottom.

-The drop off team also didn’t put together any furniture that was taken apart. Legs were taken off of our large 9 drawer dresser and never put back on. Being able to lay down the dresser to put the legs back on and lift it back up is not a one man job, and not something I can do on my own.

-We have someone else’s else bedframe

-When we contacted them, they simply told us to put in a claim. You only have 7 days to claim something as damaged or missing, so it was a mad dash to go over the rest of our stuff to make sure nothing else was damaged or missing

-We put in our claim a week ago, and still haven’t heard anything back.

I have a feeling most of the damage occurred between transferring from their large truck, to the small truck they contracted out. If I was to need a mover in the future again, I would be hesitant to use them due to the amount of damage that has occurred to our furniture. I think if you are moving from large center to large center it would be alright, but wouldn’t suggest them for a more rural move.

We moved from Vancouver to Toronto and used Centennial Moving. Their office staffs pursued me persistently after I asked for a quote, responded my questions kindly and quickly, and thus won my trust. Their moving staffs were professional and efficient, and even humorous. I had many heavy boxes of books, and one of the movers asked, "are they sands?" Then after finishing his job, he advised me, "you should use a e-reader!" Good company, trustworthy!

Me and my family moved from Saskatoon to Toronto last month and I needed to write this review because we are so happy with how it went. Right from the beginning, Centennial made sure each every detail of our move was taken care of. It all started with their estimate, then the quoting process & then the way Max explained to me how it was all going to work, I was confident that this was the company I was going to go with. Best part is, even before our delivery arrived in Toronto, I was made fully aware of the overall timeline and estimate of delivery at our house which was neat. To top it all, the moving crew headed by Eugene was very courteous, they listened to our requirements and made sure they were taken care of. My wife is extremely picky about her stuff but she was also impressed by their skills. Overall excellent job! Thank you for all your help!

I wish to convey my gratitude for implementing our move to Winnipeg efficiently, effectively, at a reasonable charge and meeting our deadline parameters. I don’t know of any other moving company that could have matched our requirements with such precise methods. All this was exactly what we required. At no time during this move were we concerned with the way you handled us. On the first day under the direction of Ron all was loaded smoothly. We were kept informed by Max , when we would expect delivery. All our belongings were delivered, unloaded and without incident. Thank you for being flexible with our payment while we transferred our money to a local Bank. Thank you for all the coordination involved to make this rush move happen. We will certainly strongly recommend Centennial to those looking for a stress free moving experience like we experienced.

The guys at Centennial were great to work with. Having never used movers before, I was not sure who to call or what to expect. I found a lot of great reviews about this company and they were honestly accurate from my experience. The team was timely, efficient and a pleasure to do business with. Moving from a top floor apartment (with no elevator) to another top floor unit (thankfully this one did have!) I was not sure what to expect. They were done in almost the exact amount of time they had quoted and all of our things arrived in perfect condition. If I ever use a service like this again, I will never look anywhere else!

Just as you mentioned the Centennial team was INCREDIBLE! From packing, to loading, and unloading all was done extremely professional and with care. In particular, Eugene(the individual that lead each team from the start of packing to the final load being brought into the house) was exceptional! He walked us through every step and answered every question we had. At your next opportunity, I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass along this feedback to the Centennial team and Eugene's manager.

Excellent, ethical, professional service from the first time I contacted Centennial to delivery of my home goods to my new place. Centennial employees available each step of the process with alleviating all my concerns. The day of my move the movers showed up on the scheduled time moving my household goods fast while packing goods that needed to be packed. The move went well to the point of almost running to get everything out of my condo between hours scheduled for freight elevator. Upon arrival to my new destination, movers worked fast to unload goods in rooms designated on boxes without any breakage. In summary, I would highly recommend Centennial which provided me the best service out of approximately seven different moving companies over the years including the cross country and local moves as well.

I have never had any positive experiences with movers before, till I met Martin, Matt, Phillip and Eugene who moved by belongings from Toronto to Regina. They arrived on time, equipped to work, and worked hard. They were very polite, engaging and professional. Answered all our questions and addressed all our worries. I cannot say enough about the whole team that I worked with. Xavier the Sales coordinator, and Trey that made the final arrangements. I did have an issue with some minor damage done to my walls during moving, but they took pictures and sent it on to complaints who is working with me now to complete the repairs. I am 100% satisfied, and so satisfied I told my daughter and son-in-law to use them in a couple of weeks in their move. I hope this review helps some of you that were nervous like me.
