Let's Get Moving

Honestly the best moving company we've ever used. The moving consultant was extremely helpful when booking over the phone. He was able to give us a realistic idea of how many people would be needed and their rate after discussing the size of our apartment and the amount of furniture we had. He even gave us a little managers discount. We had a 3 bedroom apartment on the top floor of a 4 story walk up with a large terrace and storage room. Needless to say it was not an easy job. The movers were prompt, very friendly and ALL pulled their weight. The lead mover wrapped all our furniture in shrink wrap while the other two began loading the truck. The team did a great job at communicating their plan to move things along efficiently. We were able to finish our move in a shorter time than anticipated even with the long commute from Toronto to Alliston. I would highly recommend these guys.

Our three movers were very professional and courteous. They brought all the moving accessories we needed: wraps, cling wrap, floor runners, ropes. And were efficient too. Their truck is HUGE and well-kept. And they have a basic protection plan that comes with what you pay for—which I hope we can use for the scratch that we saw on our baby’s crib after moving. In terms of cost, they charge 70 dollars for gym equipment (even the relatively light ones like our portable treadmill and aeropilates machine) so my husband had to haul those separately. You also can’t refund your $113 deposit so you have to be 100pc sure you’re going with them before you book their service. Also for budgeting purposes, note that they charge full price even for the drive back to their office. Finally, customer service is very responsive. I’d highly recommend them if they’re within your budget!

We recently moved from east Toronto to outside of the GTA -- Let's Get Moving had come highly recommended by a friend who had done a similar move and we're very glad that we went with the recommendation! We had three fantastic movers who took great care of our things. They packed efficiently and were very thorough and communicative. Moving is always a stressful process but the team at Let's Get Moving helped to calm the nerves and ensure everything was taken care of. We most certainly could not have done the move without them!

Our family of 4 moved from Milton to Ottawa at the end of August. After reviewing several moving companies we ended up choosing Let's get moving, due in part because of the excellent reviews online, the information they provided when I spoke to them on the phone, and the price they quoted me for packing and the move (which was quite competitive). They were able to walk me through the entire process and leading up to the move, sent us helpful emails on what to expect.

I have used moving companies in the past, but this was the first time I had experienced a truly stress-free move. The packing service was outstanding. The actual move was flawless. Our movers were professional and courteous and worked extremely efficiently. In the end, our final price was even less than quoted. I would not hesitate to recommend them as the number one choice for a long-distance move! Thanks Let's Get Moving!!

We recently had to move and we chose Let’s Get Moving as our movers. This was our first time with Let’s Get Moving I cannot thank enough our moving helper Rohit and his colleague as they were very calm and helpful! Moving is painful as it is and to make it more difficult, we had a snow storm on our moving day but, I am so happy to say that our move went smoothly nonetheless!

Thank you again to the Let’s Get Moving Team for keeping our belongings safe and making the move easy for us.

I have used this company for moving twice, and they have given me the best per-hour rate out of all the movers I got quotes from. Plus the workers are understanding, easy to work with, and know what they're doing. Keep reading for price and details.

They have a 2 hour minimum, of 1 bedroom or higher would take less than 2 hours. My latest move, in December 2022, was from a 1 bedroom unit (mattress, bedframe, bookshelf, small dining table, 4 chairs, desk, coffee table, kitchen island on wheels, office chair, large TV and TV stand, plus lots of boxes) into a basement apt 5 minutes away. It took a long time to wrap all the furniture (2.5-3 hours), and then to unload it all into a basement apt. Altogther the move took around 6 hours or so, and cost about $1200 CAD. It was quite expensive but moving furniture into a basement apartment is ridiculously hard. Keep in mind, paying with cash is a flat rate (but you won't get an invoice), but debit card has tax added, and credit card has tax plus a fee.

Note that they do charge a lot for materials - Packing paper was $40 CAD for me, and I needed only a little (I have a big heavy stack leftover), and a mattress protector was $20. Get these yourself beforehand if you can. But certainly get their TV case if you have a TV to move. That was my biggest fear since their liability only pays you back based on the weight of the item damaged, not its actual value in any way. I don't know if that is standard, but it is how they, and one other company I asked a quote from do it.

Just FYI:

My first move was a moving from downtown Toronto to North York, a single bedroom (1 mattress, a couch, a bookshelf, a large desk, a chest of drawers, plus boxes I packed myself) into a 1 bedroom unit with 2 stops along the way, and that cost me $594.53 CAD in 2020. It was an great rate considering my stops were in to a storage unit on the West side of Toronto and, Etobicoke.

This was my first and last time working with this company. We had an agreement to move all my furniture and 2 business days before the moving date, I signed up for an ancillary storage arrangement where the company would store 3 of my items. The company called me the day before the big move to tell me that if I didn't sign the ancillary storage contract, they would not proceed with the entire move!

So hours before the big move, they threaten not to go ahead with moving me on account of a minor administrative matter. Keep in mind that this is happening in a highly stressful time when you're organizing your move. They threaten you knowing full well that there can be significant consequences for you if your move doesn't happen on that particular day. They make the threat precisely because you are vulnerable. Thuggish business practices!

I would have given this company 0 stars, or even minus 10 stars, but the system doesn't allow it. I will now be lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which will add the many complaints already on file for this company. I highly recommended not hiring this company on your next move. By all means, take the time to conduct your research and find a moving company that respects its customers. It will have been time well spent.

ps - this is only the second time in 30 years that I complain publicly about a services provider.

This was the best move experience we’ve had, hands down! Jose, Jeremias, Juan and Roban were incredible. Very professional and reliable. Everything was wrapped efficiently, our floors were covered with runners in all areas they were stepping and they did not stop hustling from start to finish! From the initial call to get a quote, throughout the move process and even after, the whole team communicated and kept us at ease during a stressful time. I highly recommend you give them a call for your next move. I wish I had found out about them last time we moved.

I have had to make numerous moves over the past 5 years. Lets Get Moving had been the best moving experience hands down. The quoted me the best price for a long distance move so I was a little skeptical because of the good quote. They delivered over and above. Roman and Eric exceeded my expectations in everything they handled. And to my wonderful surprise my final invoice came in less than expected. I cant say enough about this moving company. Highly recommend them. You wont be disappointed.

Being new in Canada I was concerned about finding a reputable provider and knowing my possessions will be cared for and delivered as agreed. We had a long move (360km), necessitating an overnight storage at the depot, but the team arrived on-time the following day! They packed quick and efficiently and unpacked just as smoothly, all our items still intact. We have a heavy treadmill but the team handled this just as smartly as our other items. Overall, very please, thanks for the help! We will use their service again.

We hired Let’s Get Moving to move the contents of our home from Toronto to The Blue Mountains in February 2023. The service we received from the first phone call to the actual move was excellent. The company is very organized with skilled personnel handling the planning and execution of the move. They suggested the appropriate number of trucks (2) and movers (5) for our move. When the movers arrived at our home, they were professional, friendly and fast! So far, we haven’t found one thing that was damaged in the move. I would highly recommend Let’s Get Moving for your next move the Toronto and surrounding area.

Moving is one of the most hardest and intimate process because you let some stranger come and handle your day to day item to move them.

Let's get moving Mr Rasoul (the manager) and Mr Radman & Mr Edgar & Mr Hussein (the movers) made the process unforgettable.

They are very professional, right on time.

They don't over charge you.

They car about the client and they try to help you in any way possible.

I had a sofa the couldn't move it to the new apartment they found a solution within their own storage unit to store it for me in an amazing offer.

You can never go wrong with chosing this team, they really are the best in Canada.

Wish them all the best.

I cannot thank them enough.

We had a great move with your team. Abdal, Aldo and Alonso were a fantastic crew and really pleasant to work with. They made this one of the best move experiences we have ever had. Sameer prvided us with excellent service in our pre-move booking - he was extrement attentive and considerate of our needs, providing good move-related advice along the way and making recommendations as appropriate to simplify our process.

Thanks again for all your support and attention to making this a good experience and a great day for us.

I am very pleased with all aspects of my experience with this company, from the very first phone call and those that came later to the crew of 3 men that did the work.

Even though we had frightful weather the day and night before with heavy snow and somehow I’d accidentally set my phone to silence unknown callers, so the crew had some problems getting in touch with me on the day, it all went well in the end and they were only a little late and that was not their fault, but mine, as they could not get in touch with me quickly. The guys in the office helped sort that out!

The crew worked hard and wasted no time. They were all very polite and I’d be happy to see this crew again anytime. There was no damage done to any of my things, which was great and while they didn’t waste time, they also didn’t rush needlessly and make mistakes that way.

I will be hiring this company again in the near future to finish up this move, which is needing to be done in separate parts for reasons I’d not bore anybody with.

I expect that the second part of the move will go just as well as the first part did and that I’ll be just as pleased again.

I'll rate the service on the following 3 factors: Responsiveness, Cost Efficiency & Overall Service

Responsiveness (5/5) - From the time I first called to request a quote, till the end of my move, the folks at Let's Get Moving were highly responsive. I called numerous times & they were extremely patient, taking care to answer every single question. They called back a day before the move to confirm all the details & also called on the day of the move to let me know that they were on their way. Very happy with the level of communication.

Cost Efficiency (4.5/5) - I felt the cost for the service was quite fair, especially when compared to some of the other quotes I had received. I especially liked the fact that everything was included in the hourly rate, so no extra/hidden fees, no truck fees, nothing. They also charge in 15 minute increments so you don't get billed for the whole hour after the minimum.

Overall Service (5/5) - Very professional service! Every last detail was taken care of with the utmost care. They brought all the required equipment (plastic wraps, blankets, dollies, etc.) & even had tools for dismantling furniture items. Items were loaded quickly onto the truck & secured to prevent them from moving around. Upon reaching the destination, they unloaded the items and placed them in the rooms I asked them to. They were very careful while handling the items.

Will definitely be using them the next time I have to move. Keep up the great job!
