1-star Google reviewMike M.9 years ago
The most unprofessional ignorant experience I have ever had as a customer for anything - And I've delt with Roger's so thats saying alot!!! They showed up early (no problem other than their key argument seems to be the wait for keys which occurred exactly on time and right after their hour lunch!)... damaged my stuff... had terrible attitudes... were Unorganized amongst 4 guys and a truck and a half ... they were not pleasant nor professional - ignorant and complaining every step of the way ...
1-star Google reviewMatt L.8 years ago
Buyer beware - full disclosure: never booked with this company, however, I feel compelled to share my horrible experience with Tom - presumably, the owner... I must begin by stating that I gain nothing to spoil this company's reputation, but I have to assume that this company is so busy, they don't need to provide a positive customer experience. Rant done. I contacted Attuned under the encouragement from a friend who recently completed a move with them.
1-star Google reviewMarg A.6 years ago
Attuned Movers - Avoid at all costs!! I hired them because their google reviews were very good. In reality – they were horrendous. The three guys arrived 35 minutes late, and no one answered my calls or email about where they were. They refused to wear a mask – even though in our area, these are mandatory. I offered to pay them extra to wear a mask, and I was told to relax that none of them had ever given anyone COVID.
1-star Google reviewRobert D.5 years ago
Our experience started out positively. The guys showed up on time, and were quick and efficient with the move. They were also friendly and easy to deal with in person. However, after the move was complete and we began to unpack in our new home, we discovered that there were a number of scratches, bumps and gouges in multiple items/areas of the house. It was clear that they did not take proper precautions in the truck, and while moving items into the home, to ensure items did not get damaged.
1-star Google reviewThunder B.a year ago
Very disappointing experience. I would not recommend this company. We hired Attuned Moving to move our upright piano from Guelph to Mississauga. The movers only partially covered our lovingly restored antique piano with one small dirty moving pad. As well, they did not cover our beautiful hardwood floors and made a mess of them - they had snow, salt and ice on their shoes and the dolly wheels, and left a trail from the front door to where the piano was installed.
1-star Google reviewAdrienne J.5 years ago
Just got off the phone with them and they were very, very rude to me the whole time. Interrupted me rudely several times, couldn't even finish a sentence to answer his questions and then he rudely accused me of interrupting him when it was obvious there was some lag on the phone. And I quote "no, no, let me finish MY sentence." Extremely impatient with me. Rushing through important details. Any time I tried to go back and finish answering a question he would be so awful in response, "no I KNOW that.
2-star Google reviewErica W.5 years ago
Honestly, I was underwhelmed. Though pleasant on the phone the manager/boss/job booking guy was rushed and didn't really take the time to get enough info from me. Or rather didn't understand the scope of what I had. This resulted in too few people for too big a job, thus costing me nearly 40%more than the quoted estimate. I was beyond disappointed that my spouse had to pull the lead crew aside and tell him that they needed to be more careful as they were damaging our furniture.
1-star Google reviewLindsay H.5 years ago
No showed my appointment for a piano move. I took time off in the middle of the work day for the scheduled time they had available (was not given a choice of time so that their other appointments would be accommodated). They did not call (they had my cell number) or give any indication the appointment was not firm after I confirmed the time and addresses for the move. Called, left a voicemail and emailed about 15 minutes into my appointment time to no response.

In their own words

5-star Google reviewChuck D.6 years ago
Cannot say enough about Tom and his crew. On time, polite, professional and under budget. I had a complicated (messy, sorry Tom) move from a three level home to West Heights Seniors Apartments where Tom had working knowledge of the building. The crew was prompt, careful, efficient, professional and courteous. Thanks much Attuned Movers
5-star Google reviewIon B.10 years ago
First of all, I would like to state that I have no affiliation with Attuned Moving, I am a former customer that used this company to move to a new home in Kitchener on Sept 21 2015. We contacted Attuned at the recommendation of friends that used their services in the past, along with other local moving companies, to have a better idea of options and cost.
5-star Google reviewEvelyn H.Edited 3 months ago
I have now used Attuned moving for two more moves. There are so many more things to say about this company. But even a 5 star rating cannot portray my thanks. Cannot be happier with everything this company provided. Right from the start of reaching out and the speed of the response. And the speed of their ability to fit us in on short notice. The efficiency, their kindness, their understanding, their knowledge.
Reply from the business

Thanks for the kind words. We do not have large marketing budget as our competitors. Every review helps Tom

5-star Google reviewBrett N.7 years ago
I called Attuned moving because we had an upright piano to move, but I'd recommend them for general moving as well. They quoted a competitive rate with no "house call" charge like other quotes I received. The day before the move, they called to warn me they needed to shift the time by an hour to accomodate a crew adjustment, and called again the day of the move to confirm their arrival time.
