In their own words
Where to begin? The company depicted on their website is a complete misrepresentation of how the moving team actually operates and acts. To begin with, it is not the same company, the move is subcontracted to a third party. It felt like going to a fancy restaurant but when they bring you the food, it's actually from McDonald's. Not the price though, just the food. In order to keep their prices competitive, they barely mention the insurance, which keep in mind, is 60 cents/pound (more on this later).
I cannot find your name anywhere in our system and your comments do not reflect how we operate. All of our employees are hired and trained directly within our company and we have never subcontracted to any other company.
Careful, polite, and punctual movers. They wrapped furniture, moved stuff into the spaces in the final home, unwrapping. Nice guys: they did a great job. ***However*** I was overcharged, as final signed time when movers left was not what they charged me or invoiced me, and despite emailing and phoning company, no refund or even any response. I got through to a person, they said the one to look at the issue just got into work and would call me back, and still no call.
Hi JC, we really appreciate you making the time to write this review and apologize that you did not have a great experience. If you would like to take this matter further, please email [email removed] and our team will address your concerns asap.
This company is atrocious. The people they send cannot be called professional movers; they have the grace, preparation and finesse of a chimp. They showed up late, without any awareness of what was being done and without the proper materials - specifically a mattress bag and wardrobe boxes. When I told them I had pre-paid for the mattress bag they said they didn't have one and would just try to reuse extra ripped plastic from some other job that they had lying around...not only did this not work, it served the…
Betsy, Surely not the day you were promised and we apologize for being tardy with our arrival. Please accept our apologies for that. We're happy to remedy any cosmetic damage to your home...please call our office at [phone removed] at your convenience. Your vituperation, though, is surprising.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. The move was slow. Very slow. It took three hours longer than I was quoted and could have been four hours longer if I didn’t work hard moving boxes around the house during the unload. I probably saved myself a few hundred dollars by “joining” the crew at the end. The heat and a patch of rain were to blame for the massive discrepancy between quote and reality according to the company.

Consumer Beware! - one star rating! The morning of the moving day, as promised a team of 6-8 men came professionally uniformed in a clean truck and on time. After initial introductions, the men began to move out labelled boxes and they bubble wrapped fragile items such as mirrors & prints. While I was overseeing & directing the move throught out the 2 storey house with basement, I observed the men had shoes on and that no cloth or paper runners were laid down on the floors nor down on staircases-not even in the…
Dear Maryann, I apologize for the miscommunication. I would like to discuss this situation further with you in order to resolve your concerns. I will reach out to you promptly.
I will never recommend anyone to this shipping company. In April I booked for 2 men to move my furniture. When they came they were tired from another move they had earlier. I was going to pay but when they shoved all the boxes and furniture into my new home, they broke my $3,000.00 wall unit. Damaged my furniture by not covering it correctly. Also I paid for mattress cover when they didn’t cover anything. The box spring was dirty.

I made the mistake of hiring You Move Me Toronto to move 2 Restoration Hardware cabinets a total of 4.6km. After laughing that I'd hired such a large truck to move only 2 cabinets, the 3 movers packed the cabinets upright instead of flat in the truck. The cabinets toppled over during the short drive and the metal handle that releases the open/locking mechanism broke making the cabinet useless.

The estimator came by and after a walk through the house and garage quoted us $2,800.00 tax included, for 4 men and 1 truck. Sep 28, moving day, 3 men and two trucks arrive with a 4th man arriving several hours later. They were pleasant and courteous but rough and damaged our hardwood floor in 4 places, damaged several antiques and ripped our leather recliner. They couldn't load everything so had to leave some items behind and return the following day to retrieve them.

In their own words
Efficient, professional, great pre- move communication and reassurance, on time, careful... but it's the listening and the friendly engagement that put this team over the top.
Hi Elizabeth, we are so pleased to hear that your move went well! Thanks so much for your business, and for taking the time to share this fantastic review.
I moved to a new place within downtown Toronto through You Move me last month Overall Experience - Good Timing - They were there early and completed work in time. Movers - Timothy and Anil were fantastic. They were professional and I had great conversation with them as well Communication - Before the move, I received reminders and on the day of moving they called as well Pricing - Reasonable price for the work ($250 deposit and $170 per hour) Payment - Security Deposit paid upfront and after moving paid the amount…

Hi Julie. 'Best Moving Company & Team Ever!!'.....that certainly is our mandate! We truly have an amazing team here - complete with a great culture to ensure that we look after your needs....moving and otherwise. A stress free move is our specialty!
Moving is often a terrible experience, but You Move Me made it so much better. The team arrived to my place within the first 15 minutes of the scheduled two-hour window. They called ahead and were extremely prompt. A coffee for me in hand, they quickly surveyed the job ahead and started the clock when the papers were signed. They were diligent with my furniture, wrapping everything in plastics and blankets and taking even more care than I had when I had done DIY moves in the past.
Hi Michelle. thanks for the kind words and the FIVE STARS!
