Essential Movers

I asked for movers and they sent magicians. Two very professional men showed up and backed a 53' foot truck into my tiny side street on a 15deg incline with 6" of clearance, and then proceeded to load everything quickly and efficiently. No hidden costs, no damage, no problems. Fantastic price too!

- They worked smart and hard. Due to the incline, they got a little uhaul to help them get stuff to the truck, and then didn't charge us for it.

- They helped us load all the small items into wardrobe boxes, and wrapped it all up to protect it.

- Nothing was damaged, including my expensive desktop, monitors or TV. Seriously, not a scratch on anything.

- They unloaded in record time, using the uhaul shuttle again and again, didn't charge us for it.

- Amy took my relentless worried calls, and eased all my fears.

Everyone else charged twice as much, and they did an absolutely perfect job. Seriously, if you're looking for a moving company I can't recommend them enough. Value for money, there is zero competition.

We recently used Essential Movers in November 2021. The prices were comparable to many companies. We chose them because they guaranteed our time frame and insurance coverage was very good.

Well…. It was the absolute worst experience we could have hoped for. They picked up our belongings on Nov 24th in Ontario as our closing date was Nov 29th in New Brunswick. We we’re told that they make 2 trips a month to the east coast and this was perfect for the Nov 27th truck so we decided that this worked for all party’s. When they picked up, there was 6 movers and let me tell you they were great. Our belongings did not arrive until Dec 6th 2021 a whole week later the promised with two movers to unload 30ft of a 53 foot trailer.

We found 3 items that were broken, not to bad considering how much stuff we had. My wife and I sent in photos of the damages and it took 7 weeks to get a response. What a let down, we were told our items are still usable so there would be no coverage. A ladder I just used prior to moving was broken, Amy Bennett said it was broken when they loaded it. I would not have taken A broken ladder across 2 provinces I would have scraped it. Secondly a book shelf was damaged at the top corner, But Amy Bennett said it was still usable. What makes me most upset is the wheels on my $1200 tool chest are bent up inside the base cabinet it bent the frame and now it doesn’t sit level and rolls away from the wall, not usable or the condition it was in prior to the move. Amy Bennett said it’s still usable so it’s not covered. PICTURES BELOW ARE THE PICTURES I SENT.we’ll it won’t let me upload the pictures!! SURPRISE!!!

Buyer beware… I would never recommend this company to anyone.

Essential Movers transported all of our belongs from Ontario to Nova Scotia. It was supposed to arrive in one truck. They told us it wouldn’t fit so they charged us for both drop offs;They showed in UHAUL trucks The first truck arrived last Friday. Our furniture was completely scratched and damaged, we have broken pictures and so much other damage. When the truck was leaving, it backed up and smashed into our van. The driver accepted full responsibility as per an email I received from the company but neither the company nor the driver will respond to any of my messages. Now I have to file a police report because my insurance can’t do anything without their information. The second truck arrived just over an hour ago. They had to pick up broken glass they broke while removing our stuff from the truck- right in front of us!. The broken glass from some collectible sports memorabilia they dropped. My patio table glass was smashed. What adds insult to injury was that we paid them bring our property here and then to damage it! And they refuse to reply to my concerns. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

This is what we know is damaged so far:

Coffee table

Pub table

Televisión

Patio table

Kitchen Aid mixing Bowl

Kenmore sewing machine- (my

Mom’s)smashed into a bunch of pieces

Broken photos/glass

Night stand

Small table

Broken glasses

-small wares

King size mattress

PLUS

Missing parts

-coffee maker

-soda stream

Stuff that doesn’t belong to us, we have a tote marked “Hadway” if you are missing some stuff for a kayak carrier and a soda stream!

And I haven’t even looked at everything, I’m hoping this missing items that I can think of turn up but the fact that we have belongings for someone else, I doubt it.

NOT TO MENTION THE VAN!

We paid them to ruin our property! That is what this amounts to! I have pictures of all the damages. I sent them an email asking for a response and NOTHING! We paid them to ruin our property! NEVER USE THIS COMPANY!

Day of move

Took 9hrs to load truck because they were understaffed finished at 10pm. Thankfully we didn’t have people waiting to move in, because we choose to move out the day before closing.

Day of move in

Arrived at 2pm with only 2 people to unload, family started to help move things in the house at 7:30pm, when half the truck was still left to be done.

With the help of 4 family members we were able to finish by 10pm, without our help they would have been there until at least 1am.

When it got dark they didn’t even have lights to see with - we ended up hooking up our own trouble lights to provide enough light to continue to work.

Broken desk, and damaged chairs

The workers are by no means responsible for this mess, it is all the fault of management. It is there responsibility to provide the appropriate staff and have the necessary tools for their staff to perform there duties.

The price to have my furniture broken and my family move our things

$7500

Please do not choose this company to help with your move, they talk a good pitch over the phone, but in no way do they deliver on there promises.

We've moved three times in the last years and these movers is hands down the best moving company. One of my favorite things about them is that they were very easy to deal with. The whole process - from scheduling to signing the papers was done super efficiently. We booked everything on the same day, which saved us so much precious time! They treated our furniture as if it was their own - so much attention and care. Every piece was in perfect condition, nothing was even scratched. I really appreciate how they managed to take care of everything and really got us out of a tough situation.

I promised Amy the best review ever if everything went well and here it is! Thank you to ES for a flawless move. Amazing people with even better services. Everyone we spoke with was so positive. Super informative as well. We had our kids in the house and the guys were so nice to them and one even showed my son how to use a dolly with boxes. It was very sweet. You pay for the service and for a good experience. I truly feel that they really went about and beyond to make us happy. Amy is a sweetheart. I loved dealing with her. She is very patient and I can only thank her so many times for putting up with all my questions. There is not much more to say. They are the real deal. Thank you everyone!

5 stars just isn’t enough for these guys! My mother passed away recently so this was a very difficult move to complete the crew was so patient and kind. They allowed me to take my time to process my emotions and gave me space when needed. Eventually I was able to pull myself back together packing and sorting out my mother’s belongings. Their kindness and patience on top of the hard work and dedication helped bring a smile to my face during this difficult time. Thank you so much Essential Movers

you are a beautiful group of people.
