2 Frank June 30, 2009 at 10:43 am: To the poster of comment 41, is your name Andrea or Ann? Or Tom Trucker? I ask as you have the identical comment posted at the link below (yes I’ve read a lot of websites) under the name “Ann in Distillery District”. Guess I won’t be using Tom Trucker, as that is highly suspicious.

After many attempts to reach them and they said they would call back, they stopped answering the phone, did not respond to emails and just did NOT show up. They haven’t called me to explain or apologize why, there is just no response. I would recommend that you say far, far away from this company and find a more reputable mover.

5 Wael July 15, 2009 at 10:39 am: NEVER USE LOGAN MOVERS, they were the worst, for a move from 1 bed room to another 20 minutes away, first they did not show up on time, instead of 10 am, after 10 phone calls to the stupid owner they showed up 2 pm tired from their previous job already, their two young skinny weak movers did not speak english and kept looking at my lucnh like two freaking homeless hungry third world beggers that I had to share my lunch with them and ofcourse they never appreciated that, they wore shreded tank tops and smelled like shit, they took long breaks and ofcourse the big scam is they make you sign the contract before they start moving and in the contract the fine prints say charges for stairs as 10 cents per step!!!!! so how can you count that if the two skinny and stinky movers keep going up and down all the time??? anyway, they took 2 hours to load the truck and by the time we headed to downtown it was already rush hour so there is another two hours, and then unloaded to my new appartment which is in the main floor, so no steps charges here, finished in an hour and the exciting part of paying their charges came, they double charged me and the 350 became 800 and they locked themselves in the truck refusing to give me the contract I sigend and refusing to give me my furniture, I kept negotiating with their God Father on the phone till he dropped it to 700, but good thing that I made them lose a lot more business because of their scam behaviour, be happy logan scammers, you made 350 but you lost a lot lot more,
6 Tina September 15, 2009 at 4:17 pm: Do Not ever use Abroad Movers inc. These guys are fraud. I used them to move recently, when the agreed it was $42/hr minumum 3hrs, No other charges, no deposit and I am to pay at delivery at the destination in full after unloading;
There were 2hrs late to start with, they gave me a contract that just stated thier arrival time, how many ppl are there to move, the date, the location and destination, and their insurance obligation. But after putting my stuff in the truck they demanded $200, and if I dont pay they will not move the truck, I gave them the deposit as I needed to move that day and was already behind schedule. They also very very slow with their work!!!! So as protection for my stuff, I had a guy friend ride with them. On the way to my new home (which is only 20min away) they stopped for a 15min coffee break at Timmy’s. Finally when they arrived, they wouldn’t unload, they were doing the final bill. So when I questioned how do you know how long it going to take to unload they said they know it will take 4hrs. 4hrs!!! to unload 10boxes, a sofa and a bed…thats all I had….anyways they demanded I pay them for 2hrs for their travelling time, $1 for each step on my stair case (I got 15 in the new house) for each time they went up, in addition to the 7hrs work and GST and PST. I refused to pay them, I can’t afford to pay that much!! so they said they will drop everything in the main floor and leave but I still had to pay the rest, I still refused stating this was not part of my contract. When I argued they brought out another paper where they have written which had all these charges BUT it was not the paper I signed….when I asked where is the copy I signed they refused to give to me. So now they refused to give my stuff and until I paid them around $600; I ended up calling the cops, soon as they found out the police on their way, they basicly threw everything in my garage and left. When the police arrived I gave them the info and have filed a report with Consumer Report and Civil Court as well.

PLEASE DO NOT USE ABROAD MOVERS INC,….THEY ARE FRAUD AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE.
7 Louise September 30, 2009 at 9:02 am: I wish I knew about Abroad before.I too got messed with these guys. Travel time, step charges,$200.00 down, I too was NEVER told about all this junk. They have got to be the WORSE moving company ever. I guess you got a deal, I was charged $48.00 per hour, but same mess as yours, wouldn’t unload, charged for charges NEVER talked about!!!
8 Ambrose October 5, 2009 at 9:48 am: Before I tell you how good Agility Moving & Storage Ltd. employees are, I first would like to tell you how my last experience with movers was.
In 2007 I used a well known company “with Big Hearts”. They showed up over an hour late, they were rude (swearing at myself and my wife), they broke several pieces, and even stole from us.
After the experience we had with them we were very weary of using movers again. After calling several movers, we called Agility Moving & Storage. The sales rep we spoke with was John. He was very courteous and called us 3 days before our scheduled move to confirm. The team they sent showed up early and started promptly at 9 am. They were very careful and wrapped all my furniture. They moved me within my budget and when they unloaded the items into storage they worked carefully and fit it all in.
Agility moving and storage employees changed my thoughts of movers. I have since recommended them to all of my friends and will be calling them anytime I require a mover.

Their phone number is 416-654-5029

9 George October 15, 2009 at 7:30 pm: I used Alpha Movers last weekend . My co-worker used them before so he gave me the number. Nice guys , came on time were careful with my staff. Alpha Movers is not the cheapest company they charge $65hr +1 hr travel time charge but they worth it. Move went smooth . I would recommend this company
10 Greg0123 October 20, 2009 at 4:20 pm: A friend used these Toronto movers and had very kind words about them. I also heard that AMJ Campell is a standard-setter, especially if money is not an issue.

Regardless of what we all recommend, you should do your homework by checking Google reviews, Homestars, talking to friends and so on to maker sure you don’t get a nightmare.

Good luck
