1-star Google reviewOmar S.Edited a year ago
I would like to state that my experience with AMJ Campbell was horrible. A real test of a business’ ability to deal with customers is when things go wrong. If the business deals with the customer fairly, then it shows that they are really serious about customer service. In my case, my goods were brought to my home and I was asked to pay extra storage charges that were never disclosed to me. AMJ held my goods hostage and refused to offload them until I paid the extra charges.

Dear Mr. Siddiqui, Our records show that your relocation occurred in 2019/2020 and billed under the terms of a national contract agreed upon by your employer. Any charges billed directly to you are for services incurred by you, in this case storage beyond the term authorized by your employer.

Our move across the country started off smooth, with customer services reps reaching out regularly and being helpful, but it very quickly fell apart as our delivery date approached. Two days before the delivery we received a bill that was far in excess of the quoted amount, despite a guarantee in their agreement which outlines that they won't charge for more than 10% of the quote due to extra weight because of their own poor weight estimate. The bill was more than 20% higher than the quote, over $1,700 more!

Hello Sean, Thank you for taking the time to bring this situation to light. Our records reflect that the move was handled by our Toronto W location, not the Halton Hills one. Please be fully assured that we take all your concerns very seriously & our team is immediately looking into the matter to…

AMJ Campbell Toronto came highly recommended but in fact were very poor. Our experience started off right, the owner came to our property on time, represented himself as a professional, was polite and performed an assessment of the articles to be moved. Unfortunately thats were the good experience ended. For context this was my fourteenth international move so I have many moving experiences I can call upon, but I can honestly put my hand in my heart and say this was the worst move I have ever had.

2-star Google reviewJason C.a year ago
I really should have read all these negative reviews before selecting AMJ. I was warned not to pick a moving company using an hourly rate but went with AMJ on their hourly rate figuring this would be more professional and accurate. Was I wrong! Instead of selecting comparison fixed moving quotes at 25% less working directly with the Owner, I picked AMJ for “peace of mind” involving communication with the sales rep, his Admin, the moving supervisor and finally the operations manager.

AMJ broke our $2000 tv in the move which was packed in original manufacturers packaging (including Styrofoam inserts), and will not provide any compensation. Tv worked before the move, and now it does not. AMJ said because the box doesn't look damaged they won't compensate. My heart is broken, oh wait, because my body doesn't looked damaged I guess my heart isn't broken. Complete nonsense with this company. I would advise anyone using AMJ to bring your own valuables with you.

Called Thursday April 1 to book a move for April 12 and there was an opening at the time i called. Gentleman gave me the price per hour and said someone will call me back to for additional details. Called back on Saturday as no one returned my call. Was told that someone would call me back on Monday. A lady called me on Monday and said they had an opening for April 12 and would call me back the next day to do the virtual estimate.

I am sorry to read your review and understand your frustration. Unfortunately, we do hit our maximum capacity for some dates quickly and are not able to accommodate every move request.

1-star Google reviewKate S.4 years ago
WORST MOVING EXPERIENCE with this company. We hired AMJ Campbell for our recent move from Oakville and it has been an absolute nightmare! The sort of things you always worry about when moving. The quote was inaccurate, the movers were unprofessional and the management proved to have no real interest in taking ownership for the items of ours that were damaged and the inconvenience of the mistakes made by their company in this move.

My mother used this company/location for her recent move. I've never been more disappointed. Having moved several times I have never experienced such poor service and execution. While items were packed well the movers simply did not move everything. I had to use me car and take 5 trips to move everything they did not move. At the new home the placed many boxes in the wrong room. Stacking boxes high up in a bedroom so the labels couldn't be read.

Hi Brad, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's recent experience. What you’ve described is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we would appreciate the opportunity to look into this further and address the concerns directly.

5-star Google reviewAaron G.2 years ago
We used AMJ Campbell for our latest move from Hamilton to Toronto and. Everything was perfect. From the initial consultant they sent out that explained everything clearly to us and provided a fair price. The admin staff at the office communicated everything properly to us and finally the crew they sent out were amazing. Hard working guys that got everything in and out of the truck fast but with no damage to our belongings and our property. Also they were very pleasant to work with.

5-star Google reviewJen M.a year ago
AMJ are wonderful movers! We have used them twice now to move my mom's belongings. Last fall, she moved from a larger house to a townhouse in Port Colborne and they were so courteous and accommodating, that we decided to call them again to move her to a senior's residence in Welland. Both times, Phil worked with us to get the estimate completed and set up the appointments for the move. He is very courteous and efficient, and even remembered my mom from the first move! The moving teams were on time, and so polite.

4-star Google reviewKi N.4 months ago
I've used AMJ Campbell twice for moves due to a company promo offer and was thoroughly impressed both instances with the competency and efficiency of the moving crew. They are experts at disassembling and reassembling various items quickly, thoroughly considerate of many details (e.g. wrapping power cords, best order of entry for items, sorting on truck, etc.), and very much seem to enjoy and focus on their jobs without getting sidetracked.

We found the people from AMJ Campbell to be attentive, honest and informative throughout the entire process. From the furniture review at the home we were leaving, through the quote process and the actual move we felt that everyone involved was open and honest and had our best interest at heart. Additionally the moving crew were extremely professional, knowledgeable and hard working.
