Centennial Moving

Centennial Moving team arrived on time with trailer! We requested the team of two and they helped us with care and professionalism. We moved from Calgary to Mississauga.We received detailed quote with final total  bill in it. So there was no surprises, no hidden fees! We had different movers at original and destination  and all of them were polite and professional. I do recommend Centennial Moving. I appreciate all the effort that was made by our movers and sales team.Thank you again! You are the best.

Thanks a lot to Centennial Moving team!! I was moving from Kitchener to Toronto. I received an excellent recommendation from one of my friends, who had previous moving experience with Centennial Moving. I moved many delicate art pictures, expensive picture frames. I was not sure that they will accept that type of relocation. But I was so lucky and Centennial Moving said : "We will do it for you" . Mr. Victor was very polite over the phone and provided me all the necessary documents. To protect the pictures I requested additional packing service and it was a good idea. None of the image was damaged! I'm very happy about it and would like to thank Centennial Moving again for such a professional work!

Centennial Moving made my move more then excellent. I found this company online, and decided to book it after a few phone calls with Centennial Moving Rep. The price was very reasonable. I moved from a 2 bedrooms house in Brampton to a 3 bedrooms house in Guelph, ON. It was a Same Day Move. The movers arrived on time and started loading the truck right away! The crew was nice, smiling with a good attitude to my belongings and to the whole move in general. I liked the communication with Mr. Victor over the phone, he explained in details all the process of the move. Thank you for such a great experience! I liked the way you work and I will book you when I need to move next time.

After I decided to move back from Brendon MB to Montreal QC, I had to find a good moving company to move my 2 bedrooms house stuff. I have sent a quote request to different companies to compare prices and services they offer. After a while I received multiple quotes from moving companies, the prices and information was different (just like I thought). I noticed the quote request from Centennial Moving. Their quote was very informative. after a phone call with Victor I decided to go with them. The movers arrived on time, it was a team of 2 and they worked very well together! Amazing team of professional movers. No items were lost or damaged. I would definitely recommend Centennial Moving. The best movers I have ever used.  .

In December we realized that we have to move but the end of January. I tried to find a good professional company, read many different reviews, but still was confused a bit. Then my friend referred Centennial Moving. He said he used this company couple times in the past and it was a good experience. I was very excited at the time when I hear so many good words about this guys. I need to say that we moved from Montreal to Sudbury, so I received a moving quote with all the information, prices, moving time and more. After few day of research I decided to go with them, it was a right choice! The total price was the best from the other quotes, that I have received from other moving companies during the whole month. We didn't have too much furniture, it is just a one bedroom apartment, so we had many boxes, a heavy couch and kitchen table with 4 chairs. When two movers arrived I provided the additional list of items, this was a good idea, I was monitoring everything. When the truck was loaded I knew it will take 3 days to move everything to Sudbury and it was just like they quoted. After 3 days I received a phone call and was told the movers on their way and should arrive in the next few hours. When the door of the truck was opened I was happy to see my stuff in the same conditions as three days before. Thank you for your professionalism, good price, and kind attitude. I had a very pleasant experience with Centennial Moving!

It was great to work with the Centennial Moving. We had to move from Mississauga to Calgary. It is a very long distance relocation project for us. From the first phone call to the entire delivery we dealt with experts in the moving industry. I didn't have to worry about my belongings. I knew Centennial Moving is taking care of everything. I just packed boxes and waited till movers arrive. The team of two loaded my 2 bedrooms house (2 couches, 1 master bed, 6 kitchen chairs, a table etc), we had a lot of furniture, and they worked with extra care. I was all the time over the phone with Victor the supervisor. He led me literally through each step. The estimated moving time was 12 days. On the delivery day we received a phone call with notification, and our belongings were delivered successfully. My wife dealt with movers by herself, I couldn't arrive and help her. Centennial Moving did everything beyond our expectations, my wife didn't even touch a single box! We thank this company for a high quality service and a great job!

Excellent service. Great communication. The quote was detailed. I had underestimated the weight significantly but nocomplaints on their part and the cost was still less than renting a Uhaul truck and I did not have to pick up a box. Would always move this way in the future. On time and stayed to schedule. I had alot of fragile and glass items. No one item scratched or broken. And they put everything back together on the other end. Less than 10 days until it arrived. Everything well wrapped and in fantastic shape. Completely satisfied and would use them again if the need arises. .

My worst day in last 5 years. I chose Centennial moving for my move from Toronto to Winnipeg. After pickup, they informed me that shipment weight was 12100Lbs, bill around 6600$. I denied as I knew it was around 6000-8000lbs as I moved from other city last year with 6000 lbs. They tried to scare me that I have to pay $525 to re do scale and if the new weight is more than %10 difference, they will adjust the price! I asked why? I asked them to rescale simply before unloading and scaling costs just $50 but they didn’t accept. When you call and talk to any of them, they repeat their own words as if they don’t listen to you like an answering machine! They don’t care about you and present no reason but also repeat and repeat!! I accepted to pay for rescale when I would be present at scaling station as I wanted to observe rescaling. They agreed and sent the scaling address the next day and when I asked them to get driver cell phone number they refused. Next morning I was hang around for one hour but nobody showed up, then called them, somebody said “ the driver has left after scaling and now is on the way of your house.” When I asked angrily about the reason, he said it doesn’t matter you will see the result, he was very relaxed and didn’t give me any apology or reason, just repeating doesn’t matter!! When I got home the driver asked me to pay with cash! I said I’ll pay by credit card to have invoice and he said we can’t accept because we don’t have the machine to get credit card. After long phone argument with Viktor who was a very rude manager I had ever seen, they accepted to send invoice to my email immediately after paying cash. Anyway, I paid them $6800 while recording with camera to have a proof that I paid to these gangsters! After payment Victor called me and said if you want the invoice receipt, you should sign a letter on your name saying that you don’t have any complain from our company and you’ll be fine. I was devastated and told him I would call the police right now and claim you and he said very relaxed: OK, let’s do it!! I refused unloading my stuffs and after a while the driver called Victor and talked in Russian language and finally told me that they sent invoice to my email!
By the way, only dining table and two boxes of our dishes as well as glass frames of our painting were broken.
This company is a very dangerous, rude and really gangster. Please run away them. I have all documents if anybody wants to report/publishing anywhere.

I moved from BC to Halifax NS and had to pay 8000 dollars
Which would have been fine only if they didn't loose my boxes.
They lost a 6 feet plastic container box full of purses and kitchen utilities things. Also, the movers brought a box of Christmas tree that was not ours which means another family lost their tree as well.
All this would have been fine only if this crappy company delt with the issue professionally. Instead all they said was: "sorry we don't know where your box is. Please wait for a call back."
The call back never came.
All their 5 star reviews are by their friends and family. Go on FB and read the real comment by people who share horror stores.

I'd like to thank Centennial Moving for helping me with my move from Toronto ON to Calgary AB.
The loading went really fast. I didn’t expect that it will be that fast.The movers worked professionally.
I have a lot of fragile and expensive items and they delivered them to Calgary sooner than I expected and all in one piece.That’s good.
Also, I want to say thank you for the person that was coordinating and helping me by phone and email. He gave all the information about every thing so no surprises would happen during the move.
And for the record, the price was more than just good. The price was cheap and high-quality service was provided all the way.

DON'T USE THESE GUYS . Ruined 1960's furniture that had WET BLANKETS ON THEM for 3 Weeks while the truck traveled from Ontario to Vancouver Island . Insisted on being paid cash at last moment, had to sign waiver before stuff got off of truck. Rude and unresponsive to claim. Had a investigation for 3 weeks and concluded that "MY SIMULATED AND WEAK FURNITURE" wasn't worth much an offered $100 , "WHICH IS MORE THAN WE SHOULD PAY , WE ARE BEING GENEROUS" . I refused to accept it and promised to write an honest review. I've written an extensive one in YELP . NEVER USE THESE GUYS - their professionalism is ALL TALK NO ACTION. . Insulting, anonynmous claims department to deal with.

This was a truly ridiculous experience. I've moved several times from country to country, and I've never had a more inept moving service.

I contracted Centennial Moving to move a small amount of furniture and personal items from Vancouver BC to Montreal QC. They, at the time of deposit, told me that the move should take 8-14 days typically. I wasn't looking forward to spend the time in my new empty condo, but I understand that they can't simply teleport my items there. So, I paid the deposit, and on began my nightmare experience.

The team sent to pick up my items in Vancouver were professional, friendly, and quick. They both remarked at how little that I had for them to move, and said it would take about 90 minutes to load the truck properly, and they were basically correct. They wrapped all my unboxed items in moving blankets, and secured them with packing tape. Each item was labeled and numbered. It was impressive.

I took a little vacation (to avoid an unnecessary empty week in my condo), and then arrived in Montreal seven days after the pick up, so I would be available when they arrived. I hadn't heard from the company since they've picked up my items, but once again, I understand that they're not exactly going to give me daily updates. So, my wait begins.

Around day 15, I send them an email. I get back a, "It'll get there when it gets there, and we'll let you know". Curt, and unapologetic, but it's only a day late.

Around day 20, I send another email. It's ignored.

Around day 24, I call. I'm told that they're going to talk to dispatch and call me right back. They don't.

Around day 28, I call again. I ask why I wasn't called back about my delivery window, and they again suggest that they're going to talk to dispatch and call me back. I insist that they need to call me back this time. They tell me I will get my stuff next month, at the end of the first week, or during the second week. Six weeks after pickup. I'm understandably angry, and I ask how I'll be compensated. He says that he will talk to the manager and will call me back. He does not call me back.

Around day 30, I call again, and ask again about compensation. I get the same reply, and I insist that he actually call me back. He calls back about 10 minutes later, and says they're willing to discount my move by $50 dollars, and not a penny more. I have some back and forth about how that's insulting and inadequate. He isn't apologetic, and basically says thems the breaks.

Around day 40, I still haven't heard from them, I call again. I'm starting to think my items are never going to arrive. I go through the "talk to the dispatch" routine, and basically tell them I'll wait on the line, and they call back and tell me that they're going to deliver my items later than expected (Surprise surprise), but it will be before the weekend.

Day 43, I get my bill. They've vastly inflated the weight of my items. They suggest that I have just under 2000lbs, but it's actually impossible. I have 3 large boxes (mostly light), 3 medium boxes, TV, printer, soundbar, sofa, coffee table, side table, nightstand, queen bed/frame, two suitcases, a light ikea chair, a small desk, computer chair, two wire/cloth drawers, and a bookshelf. A generous 1300lbs or so, but I would believe up to around 1600lbs. I'd be skeptical at 1800lbs, and completely in disbelief at 2000lbs. There is no method of really arguing anything, and they don't send any sort of proof/documentation to show your items (ONLY) being weighed. However, your items are being held hostage.

They also tell me that their large truck will not be able to make the delivery, so I will have to pay $150 for a 'shuttle team' to move my items into my condo. After some arguing, and bringing up the 45 days it took it deliver, they finally, begrudgingly agree to waive the shuttle fee.

Day 45, the contracted crew to drop my stuff off was great. They did it quickly, without any fuss.

Be very wary if you choose to do business with this company.

I had a seamless experience shipping my condo (2 bedroom) with Centennial from Barrie, ON to Surrey, BC. The movers were extremely professional, telling me exactly what I needed to know to make everything as easy as possible. The sales guys were incredibly nice and responsive when it came to obtaining quotes, inventory, scheduling, etc. Their prices are fair and definitely worth the excellent service you get, and you're aware of all potential extra fees and budget accordingly. The whole experience was stress-free.

From pickup to delivery Centennial provided a wonderful service.
Even when an Item was lost, everyone tried their best to locate it, and did, much to the relief of the family, as they were framed diplomas of considerable importance to our children.
The sales team was always polite, helpful and very informed.
The pickup drivers were extremely mindful and caring of our belongings. Everything was wrapped to prevent damage.
Our previous very negative experience with bigger moving companies made us nervous to deal with someone unknown.
However, once the move was completed, we had to admit that it was good choice and highly recommend Centennial to other nervous customers.

Not only were they inexpensive and transparent compared to other movers, but my items actually arrived a week earlier than expected. This was difficult to organize on my end but better than them arriving later or not at all. The movers on both ends (St. Catharines, Ontario) and (Vancouver, BC) were great and very helpful. Would totally recommend using Centennial. Be aware though that if you need items to arrive on a certain date they will not guarantee that and are very firm on a range of dates as opposed to a specific one.

I just wanted to say thank you to the whole team. They did a fantastic job. From Max who took the booking to Trey in dispatch. they were so helpful and informative. The moving men were also so professional. I was delighted and will hire again. They knew it was my first time to hire movers, understood my concerns and totally reassured me that all would be good. They explained regards transportation and storage protocols. I only wished they had assigned me more than two workers as I felt sorry for them!! By the end they were exhausted. But true professionals.

Never again would I use a moving company because of my experience with this Company. I called up the company to get a quote from them, all went well, the salesman (Hozan) was awesome, he wanted a deposit ($225) right away to lock in the price he gave me.
I was quoted $3265 pre tax for the move based on an estimated weight.
the movers were great and professional. the mover made two trips (one full load and the second load was less than 25% full. The head mover estimated the weight to be around 6000 pound, which was within the estimated weight.
Few days later I called the sales rep and my bill was up to $6959.26.
On delivery when the truck showed up the driver refused to get on my driveway until the etransfer was received.
I felt as if I was robbed and I am guilty for inviting the thieves in.
my invoice # is 11142017.

We did a long distance move from Calgary AB to Toronto ON. A very reasonable price was given according to the weight. We had some really fragile china which they professionally packed for us and everything was delivered within the time-frame quoted. We needed a company who we could trust to carry out this relocation with minimal contact from us as both I and my husband are constantly traveling. Great all round job was completed by the movers. Will keep you in mind for the next future relocation.

From Winnipeg to Vancouver was a solid move for me. Basically started searching online for a couple of months beforehand. centennial were one of the first to pop up. They seemed like they had a good history of moves and had some nice positive reviews online. Estimate was simple and comprehensive. Quote was competitive. So I decided to go with them. Staff were quite friendly and approachable. They got the job done concisely and I just sat back and let them get on with it. This is how a relocation service should work, right ! Thanks very much.

I had to move some furniture from my family home in Ontario (after the death of my mother) to my own home in Nova Scotia. I contacted a dozen moving companies and selected Centennial Moving based on their price estimate and their on-line reviews. Just days before the scheduled move, they cancelled on me! They said a driver got sick so my move was off. I was shocked that such a big, well-rated, national company could be so poorly staffed that one driver being sick could cause this. Their cancellation caused me so much extra stress at an already stressful time in my life. The only good things I can say is that the representative, Max, communicated well with me, and I did get my deposit back. But what good is a moving company that doesn't fulfill their obligation to move your things??

Just had a move from Markham to BC. There was so many different movers to choose from. In the end I chose Centennial not only because of their good reputation, but also because the initial contact I had with them went so well. My hundreds of boxes were dispatched carefully and not one of them was lost in the process. They were very accommodating of my needs including arrival time in BC. There was clear, open and constant communication throughout pickup to delivery. Great way to do business.
