If I could give 0 stars I would. Warning read the bad reviews and read how the owner responds. The owner will come to give you a quote and be all nice and friendly at first. He will reassure you if they cause any damage it will be taken care of right away. This is all a lie. During my move they broke and damaged many things. When I questioned the owner about all the damage he said he’d come right away. I thought this was great but it wasn’t. He screamed and swore at me and told me my stuff was “sh*t”.

Avoid This Company. Positive Reviews Are Misleading. We were charged nearly 3 times the quoted estimate, and customer service responded with extreme hostility and unprofessionalism when we questioned the discrepancy. We rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was serious enough that future customers should be warned. We were quoted 4–6 hours with 3 movers for a standard 2-bedroom townhouse move.
Reply from the business

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify a few important points for accuracy and transparency. At the time of booking, the move was described to us as a 2-bedroom townhouse, and our team provided a rough, non-binding estimate based on the information provided.

STAY AWAY from 'My City Movers'. They were subcontracted to work with us and weren't what we had expected. The movers themselves were nice young men, but there was poor time management and our truck wasn't big enough for our move, even though we were told it would be. In the end our local move was almost DOUBLE the TIME and COST than expected (almost 12 hours for a 3 bedroom rancher). The manager replied that my husband was 'happy', he wasn't, I told him to pay the young men and that I would speak to the manager.

Hello Gemma, Yes it is true that your move was subcontracted to us by a company which promised you a lot on the phone - end of the day they could not move you because they didn't have non-smoking movers and a truck big enough for your house.

A few weeks ago, on April 18, I had a move and signed a contract with this company. When I showed them my place, I explained that I was moving from an apartment to a house. During the contract, they told me that six movers would come, explained the hourly rate, and said they would bring two trucks. I also clearly told them that my new house has a steep driveway. However, when they arrived, they were unable to bring the truck up to the house.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take concerns like this very seriously, and I want to address your experience directly. First, regarding the steep driveway and access, we understand how challenging that situation was on moving day.

My City Movers were professional from the first phone call to Lina. She was so helpful on the phone, carefully explaining the process. Also, she explained the pitfalls of other moving companies charging for extras like overweight items and stairs. She explained they didn't hide costs. Booking was easy and straight forward. Moving day: I must say the two fellas who came - Sam and Brent - were very friendly, personable and helpful.

We planned our move for a while and did lots of research to find a moving company. My City Movers had great recommendations, but we had such a bad experience and have been ignored by the company so wanted to help others avoid the same mistake. We wanted professional movers that would carefully move our items and keep our home clean. - When the movers came into our home for an initial review they did not remove their very dirty shoes and I had to ask them to remove them.

Thank you very much Dough for your review that will give us the opportunity to improve the service in the future, however, there are some things to consider as well: Workers in our industry have to wear steel toed boots according to Work Safe BC regulation, and I can see why it is needed while…

My one star doesnt have to do with a move. It has to do with the secretary Alena. Not only is she rude to deal with she refused to proved me with a quote on a letterhead via pdf file even after explaining to her I need it to give my company because they are the ones paying for the move. I know its not hard to make a letterhead letter. Every company has letterheads. So unfortunately I had to go with another company Homeland moving and logistics.

Hello Tom Breen, I personally reviewed your emails and I found the following: you requested a quote and we sent you one right away, then you wanted it to be done in different format and we did send it to you this morning.

This company has the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. I understand that some things go wrong during a big move, but it is how things are handled that show the integrity of a company. Vadim was so petty and rude that we told him to leave our house, and he said, “I don’t need customers like you.” It’s customers like us that move and the reason why My City Movers is in business. If he doesn’t need customers like us, then I am sure he won’t need customers like you either.

I recently used My City Movers, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I contacted them, their team was professional, friendly, and incredibly responsive. They arrived right on time, handled everything with great care, and worked efficiently the entire day. What really stood out was their attention to detail — they carefully wrapped my furniture, protected the floors and walls, and made sure everything was placed exactly where I wanted it in my new home.
Reply from the business

5-star Google reviewKiran S.a year ago
Great guys, friendly and very hard working, accommodating of an extra request or two with no issues. Punctual and very efficient! Things wrapped up and protected, a few inevitable scrapes which were readily acknowledged and rectified. And arranging the move was a breeze from our first enquiry, even with a last minute change we threw in the day before! Thanks for all your help, great value for a smooth and easy move.

We had an excellent experience with My City Movers! Randy, Richard, and the entire team were absolutely fantastic. We hired them for our long-distance move from Langley to the Sunshine Coast, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service. The communication, professionalism, care, and attention to detail throughout the entire move were so appreciated. This was our second move with My City Movers, and we once again couldn’t be happier.

5-star Google reviewAlexander S.9 months ago
Alex and Randy were the best, this service has everything you’d need, disassembly, moving storage, all found under one company? It was a god send that I found MCM in the messy rushed moving out situation I was in. Watching Alex and Randy work was like watching a master at their craft, Alex took only about 20-30 minutes only to disassemble my bed frame (queen size) which he made look so easy.

Hi there! We're thrilled to hear that Alex and Randy made your move so smooth and efficient. We take pride in our team's ability to deliver top-notch service. Your kind words have made our day! We would absolutely love to assist you with your future moves. Thanks for choosing MCM.
