In their own words
First they contacted me the night before moving to change my dates, then they asked to change the time, then they confirmed to respect the date and time I book one month earlier. When I did the booking I told them what I have and I expect that one car will not be enough they confirmed that one car will be ok. Three men showed up on the moving they did not hav’ e enough blankets or boxes . I called the manager Sasha who said he gonna pass by with some materials to help but he never showed up.
We appreciate your feedback, thank you!
After receiving my quote, I called to reserve the moving date. Two days later, I had to call again because the receptionist had lost my information. So I called again, and now I realize she didn't understand anything; it's like she doesn't speak French. All she did was answer "Yes." She told me she would send me an email to confirm the reservation. I doubt she will. She seemed completely clueless when I asked her questions. Pathetic. I don't want anything to do with them.
We regret hearing your comments. Here are a few points to clarify. 1. Each contract/move is unique; sometimes we need a little more time, and if the client understands the situation, that's normal. Sometimes we can't answer your many specific questions quickly over the phone.
Sadly, I would not recommend this moving company. I had to move for the second time in two months as the apartment I moved to had a lot of issues. I was recommended Nordtrans by a neighbor advising they were fast and inexpensive. My move was a 3.5 on the third floor with no elevator to a second floor with no elevator. The apartments were 10 minutes from eachother. I have 2 herniated discs and a pinched nerve in my spine so I hired movers as I'm not suppose to lift things.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the difficulties you faced during your move and the service that did not meet your expectations.
I have a mixed review for this company. Two movers caused much damage to my walls and broke my antique sofa. They were polite but clearly un-experienced. The company reimbursed me an amount but not enough to compensate for my damage goods. The insurance offered is a a joke as they estimate by sofa to be 50$ while it is worth x10 more. I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1 star as they were reasonable and accepted that a mistake was made and I appreciate that.
Thanks for your feedback. The movers are different as you and me, they are not robots. We try to arrange the teams according to the size and specific of the move. Sometimes we expect easy move , and send less experience movers (but fresh) and when they arrive they see a big difference between the…
We hired this moving company to move our apartment to our new home, and unfortunately, the service was terrible and very unprofessional. The movers took far too long and were not careful with our belongings. They put tape directly on our wardrobe, which removed paint they also bent and scartched the bottom and sides. They also hit and bent parts of our fridge, and only one mattress was properly protected.
We would like to clarify the situation for future customers. There is minimal damage, and it is purely cosmetic—as clearly shown in the photos. Moving companies do not typically cover this type of damage under their insurance policies.
The first time, in 2010, we were very satisfied. So, in 2014, we called again, and were still satisfied. The third time, on November 27, 2020, we were really disappointed, and it will be the last time. Upon arrival, the two young amateurs, one of whom was a student (Zack), informed us that there would be a $50 fee per 100kg item. Do you think we had a choice but to refuse? Is this a new policy? It never happened with the other two moves.
Hello Markie, we look in details and is true was a problem with the team, we resolved the problem the guy (Zack) are not anymore provide service for NordTrans , we apologize for the inconvenience but in this pandemic sometimes is hard to find guys who can do a good job.
We got their service in 2015 and we were impressed by two guys who carried our big furnitures. So we decided to go with the company this year as well. This time they send two guys who were slow and kind of lazy. They were inexperienced as we understood later on. There is a dent on our drier which we discovered after they left. There is another damage in front our tv cabinet as well, it needs a touch up with stain (if we can find the same stain).
Hello Mrs Lajoie , thanks for you comments . I would like to describe you 2 situations 1. when we started the business in 2008 all customers were impressed how fast we are, but few years later same customers said that our movers are slow .. do you know what is the trick ?
I just want to start by saying I used ChatGPT to put my experience into something everyone could understand, and that didn't involve too much emotion (because I was upset!), but used facts instead and translated it. I have a small 3.5-room apartment and no appliances. ⭐ 1 star – Unprofessional, manipulative, and avoid at all costs This company handled my move very poorly.
We are writing without GPT chat—as is the case and as was the case in reality. Your move took place at the end of June, and it is only now that you are telling us you were not satisfied with our service.

In their own words
I received excellent 5-star service. We moved from Montreal to Boucherville on June 4, 2019, and wanted to leave a positive review because we received exemplary service from this company. They arrived on time, having called us beforehand. The two people who handled our move were very careful with our furniture, protecting everything (even the chairs). They were polite and hardworking. We also had no surprises with the price; we paid the agreed-upon amount (the best price we found).
Hello Mr. Caulet, Thank you for your positive feedback! Until next time. Serge V., Supervisor
I used NordTrans last weekend and it was an excellent experience. The movers were friendly yet professional, quick yet careful, and they answered all my questions. The flat rate was perfect for my needs and it was incredibly affordable! The only slight drawback was the communication. I was told they would call me back a few days before the move, but I had to call them myself the day before to finalize the details (any additional charges, which services I wanted, etc.). Other than that, they were top-notch.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about your moving experience with us. We hope to serve you again should you need to move in the future. Thank you for choosing Nordtrans.
Phenomenal service from NordTrans - My wife Neeti and I moved with them three times - in 2014 and 2017 between Montreal and Toronto, and then within Montreal in 2023. Excellent service at a good price. They were very skilled in helping us disassemble and reassemble our bed frame and other furniture. A big thank you to Sacha and Claudio, very professional and kind gentlemen who helped us with our most recent move in 2023.
We really appreciate the review , we are spending a lot of time with the movers to train and make sure the standards are respected. Thanks you so much . Best regards, L. Alexandru Dispatcher
Our experience with the moving team itself was impeccable: they were all courteous, efficient, and professional. Perhaps one or two minor scratches on some inexpensive furniture, but nothing serious. If it were only for them, we would give them five stars without hesitation. However, we felt that some aspects of the management weren't quite up to scratch. The team was supposed to arrive around 1 p.m., and we were warned they might be late until 3 p.m.
Hello Mr. Valmi-Dufour, Thank you so much for all your feedback! Here's a brief explanation: The movers should arrive between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, depending on the move before yours. We are so sorry for the unexpected delay.
