DO NOT give this company your credit card number. Jeff Smith the owner is a fraud. I was quoted just under $1000, once he had possession of my belongings he refused to release them until I paid over twice the estimate. Jeff is extremely unprofessional and childish. There is a file open on him with the Moncton police for fraud!!!

Our site has been hacked by unknowns and we are unable as of now to remove negative scam attack comments by unknowns . Google is helping us reset but it is a long process . Please ignore negative comments > they are not valid reflections of our business . Thank you from ownership and staff

TERRIBLE MOVING COMPANY!! SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. GO ELSEWHERE. The movers showed up at my home 3 hours later then the expected time of arrival. They showed up with 2 men instead of 3 (It was agreed that they would arrive with 3 men at $125/hr) They still tried to charge me $125/hr for the 2 men. After fighting tooth and nail with the owner, I finally negotatied a price of $95+ tax which is still very over priced. One of their employees broke my glass tabletop.

to say you have an entitlement problem is an understatement . You are probably the most rude and ignorant young women I have ever met . You have a severe problem telling the truth . Obvousilyy the reason you rented a u-haul because no other moving company wanted to get ripped off and stolen from…

Uncommunicative and terse emails, Late delivery, Damaged furniture and boxes, lost inventory sheet, and delivered to me something that belonged to another person.

This company had made our move out to new brunswick a terrible experience. We had first started emailing jeff smith at the beginning of may with a list of our items(exact) and 2 quotes were given to us, expedited and non expedited. My husband and i decided to go with the non expedited due to the cost of moving and that there was a difference of almost $2500 in price. We were willing to wait the extra allotted time, which in emails, was stated it would be 10 days from pick up.

I have never used this company or even heard of it but as I was going through the reviews; I noticed the OWNER of the company replying very rudely and inappropriatly to the majority of reviews. As a new customer, I was going to ignore the bad reviews and give the company a try for myself,But upon seeing the owner be this petty and childish, I will take my business else where and not recommended anyone ever working with this man.

what kind of person leaves a review for a business they have never used or experienced ? Just sayin . I will chalk this up to some competitors who are jealous of how many years we have been in business and how busy we are compared to our … More

This company represented to me, everything that folks have concerns and worries over! No integrity, dishonest, disorganized, sloppy and and ureliable. If you do business with this company, put absolutely everything in writing leaving nothing to chance. I felt like I was dealing with the mob!

What satisfied customers point to

The same method, applied to the four and five star reviews. Most movers are praised for the same handful of things, so what is missing here is often as telling as what is present.

Counted across the 3 four and five star reviews we have read for Totten's Moving. A review can mention more than one thing.

This was my second time using Totten's Moving. Moving can be a stressful time let alone moving from province to province, so when it came time to move from Bowmanville ON to Halifax NS I called up Jeff and got my move date set and booked. Jeff and his crew made the move as stressless as possible. To anyone looking for a Mover on a long distance move I would recommend Totten's moving. Thanks Again Jeff !
