HUGE SCAM

Just save your money and go anywhere else!!!

Brutal customer service and even worse professionalism. Turned what should have been an easy move under 3 hours and turned it into a $600 scam and they didn’t even “have time” to move the rest so we had to get a uhaul. Just the worst!

Local move within Kitchener, ON

Rip Off. Report to Peel Police.

Steve quoted me my move at $75/hr for two guys and a truck and boxes. Showed up 2 hours early on moving day without boxes leaving me scrambling. Showed up with 3 guys and a small uhaul. Not enough for my 2 bdrm apt. $400 cash deposit. would get $ back after job done.

THEN halfway through move. Not only is is $105 an hour, I was charged another $436 on TOP of the $400 because of a second load to move because they're truck didn't fit it all.

BROKE My bedframe. Put a hole in my painting, broke my lamp and multiple rips in my mattress topper. Said insurance will cover it and not to worry.

He then blocked my cell phone. I tested that by hiding my caller ID and calling. He answers, "Hello Movers". Wont answer and I am screwed out of my money and insurance for the stuff they broke. He also refused to provide me with my bill/receipt.

I am currently in contact with Peel Police fraud division as I'm not the only one they have scammed out of money. Karma and the law will catch up to these guys.

Bad movers!

We booked the moving service with this company by phone, and it has become nightmare as soon as they started to move the furniture onto their truck. What they have done are:
1. Damaged our furniture badly.
2. Damaged the wall in seller's house during they moved the furniture, the seller had to send a claim to the insurance company.
3. Made us pay and sign the invoice (3 men vs 1 woman). They wouldn't allow us to check the invoice or discuss about the unexpected payment.
4. Even worse, after they loaded the furniture onto their truck they forced us to pay them additional money, they threatened they would not make a move to proceed if we don't give the extra money that they asked for.
5. After they took off, we found that they sneakily switched all the nails on our beds and took the original nails.
6. We have one queen bed and one double bed, after they left we found they had installed the queen's frame onto double's bed and the double's frame on queens.
7. We paid them labor cost for 6 hours, and they worked not even 5 hours and then drove their truck away, they almost run us over when we stood in front of their truck and tried to stop them from leaving.

Local move from Ancaster, ON to Guelph, ON

Crook.

Messaged "Steve" (definitely not his real name) to have a fridge moved from Ancaster to Guelph. He originally said $100. I replied back that it's a big, heavy fridge, he came back at $189 plus tax. We went back and forth and finally settled at $170 cash tax included. They were supposed to be in Ancaster for 8am to pickup the fridge. They showed up at 9:50am. No call or anything from "Steve" mentioning they were running mega late. I called "Steve" at 9am to ask there whereabouts, "Steve" mentions the truck brokedown. Finally the fridge arrives at close to 11am at my house, I asked the workers what happened to the truck, they had no recollection of the truck breaking down at all, hmm that's funny, that's not what "Steve" had mentioned. All of a sudden "Steve" is now asking for $255 plus HST for the delivery or he is not releasing my fridge to me.

After letting "Steve" know that it is illegal for a moving company to bait and switch the quote by more than 10% and to hold my property ransom for payment and that I would contacting the police he finally then gave the go ahead for his workers to release the fridge to me.

I had all of our interactions in written text with proof of everything that was quoted. His reasoning for the up-charge was the distance travelled. Sorry "Steve" I gave you both the pickup and drop off locations before you agreed upon a price, not my problem you didn't to in to account the distance. The distance didn't change from the time it was quoted to the time of delivery. And you really think I was going to pay any more than quoted after you were 2 hours late??

What a crook this "Steve" is. He will way under quote you and then try to charge way and above at deliver time.

Do not trust this filthy business man.

Zoom Movers..zoom away from as quickly as possible!!

Set up a chesterfield suite move with this company for a Saturday at 2:00pm for $180.00 plus tax. ($205.00 total). We waited at the pickup address for half an hour and they were a no show? Tried to call and text twice no answer or call back. Had the seller of the furniture call and they answer right away! Seller gave the phone to me and John the dispatcher tells me that the move was scheduled for Sunday?? I have all the text messages showing it was always set up for Saturday with no mention of Sunday what so ever!! Rescheduled for Sunday 10:00am due to no truck or men being available. Very embarrassing and disrespectful to our seller and us. Sunday morning comes and John calls and wants to know what they are picking up?? All this was already clearly communicated to him previously!! He then informed me that the price had now gone up to $220.00 plus tax because we scheduled a Sunday move?? We did not schedule a Sunday move, we scheduled a Saturday move that they did not show up for!! I told him that I was paying the original $180.00 plus tax by cheque. Which he agreed to. When the delivery van arrives they refuse to accept our cheque and tell me it's $220.00, to which I let them known about my conversation with John the dispatcher. The chief delivery guy immediately then changed the story to because there are seven steps up to the living room and it's Sunday we must pay the $220.00. We must pay by cash or email transfer before they will leave the property. Use this company at your own peril, I can't repeat myself enough..their pricing does not match what is in their ads nor on their web site..you pay for what you get, please don't be fooled by this company!

Regarding Zoom Movers Cambridge.

Zoom Movers in Cambridge are absolute dishonest crooks in their business dealings with their clients!! They are definetly not interested in repeat business. They are not qualified nor equipped to move an upright or any other piano!! Move was pre quoted at $380 plus tax. Steve was informed of the location 46km one way. It was explained that the piano was an upright located on a main floor with easy access to the outside therefore no stairs or obstructions to deal with. I asked for a truck with a lift and not a ramp and he wrote ok done. I had to assist with loading and unloading. They asked for payment when piano was incorrectly loaded on truck of 590.00 dollars. I got no statement. I thought I would just get the move done and over with and handle it with their main office. I still as yet have not received any reply to explain their price!! Or for any refund..

Zoom Movers, also known as SHH Transport.

When we booked our local residential move, Steve quoted the job at 4 hours at $105 - no mention of other costs.
Twice he called to confirm the move on a date other than what we booked. They did show up on the correct date at the correct time.
At that time, Steve wrote up an invoice but would not give me a copy - he included extra fees for travel time from their office to our home; extra fees for stairs in the home; extra fees for moving large items; extra fees for shrink wrapping furniture. And he required payment in full for all these fees plus 5 hours at $105. We did this by a combination of debit and credit cards, because it was moving day and we had to be out of the house.
They had a 3ton truck, so did two loads (we were only moving 4km) but left some furniture behind after the second load, saying there was no room and they were not making a third load - although Steve offered to come back another day for the remainder!! We moved these left-behind items in our own vehicles.
At the new house, we found two boxes of crystal dishes broken (we did our own packing, but they were well wrapped and labelled fragile). A large entertainment unit was much damaged, but Steve said he was insured and would email the insurance papers on the following Monday - they have still not arrived. In addition that entertainment unit, which they shrink wrapped, was so badly damaged, that when I removed the shrink wrap, it collapsed, a total loss of a $500 item.
Subsequently we have called Zoom many times to ask for a refund of one hour labour, and the insurance documents - at first Steve would answer, then hang up on us. Then subsequently the line was always busy. Calling from a different line got the same response. We have now put a fraud claim in to our credit card company for the one hour extra billing and the $500 damage, and are waiting to see what happens next.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, THEY ARE DISHONEST!!

Do Not Hire These Movers!!

I paid $300 with a deposit of $100 to move ten boxes, a dresser, and a bed. They left the box spring in the elevator and took off with the deposit that was promised to be returned if the job exceeded 2 hours. Which it didnt. When I contacted them they stated I owed more money which is completely false. Why would they just leave if they had a balance owing. Please do yourself a favour and do not hire these thief’s. I will be contacting the peel police.

No show.

I must say I esaped a bad move job based on all the reviews. Wish I found this earlier. Anyways booked this moving company as I was 7months pregnant and my husband needed the help. Confirmed with them twice days before move day. An hour after move time finally got through to them only to be told movers went out night before and were too drunk to work. Lol. Uhaul it was. Moved ourselves.

I only communicated primarily through text. Got everything in writing. Lol.

Thieves.

1. We agreed on a price before hiring them. They showed up and demanded 50% more, taking our situation as hostage.

2. They took the money upfront (non-optional!), drove our stuff to the new place, emptied in the garage, and the moment I looked away they ran to the truck and ran away! Didn't answer phone. Even their (imposed) condition was for 3 hours, but they ran after 2:20, having already taken the money.

I even called the police but they said they can't do anything. Had to ask friends to come help move stuff upstairs.
