Arby Cartage

These guys ROCKED!!! Absolute SUPERSTARS in their field! Father & Son co. with an emphasis on personal service! These guys handled my move and my girlfriend's move with absolute ease. It was the most STRESSLESS move I've ever experienced. They truly roll the Red Carpet out for you...literally!!! LOL They did 2 moves in 6hrs!!! Outstanding!

With all the moving horror stories you read on Homestars, friends and family about moving co. holding your furniture hostage until you give them more money than agreed on, it's easy to see why anyone would be reluctant to choose ANY moving co.

You can trust these guys to be there on time and handle themselves with complete professionalism. They like to call themselves the family friendly movers. Having it experienced it personally...now I can see why. I felt like my family was helping me move. With a current score of 9.9 (Homestars), voted the "best of "09" and 196 reviews to date....need I say more?!?!

To Anil and the boys!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I can always depend on Arby's team to do a great job. Very reliable. I've come back for the third time as I know I'll get the job done properly.

Arby, Anil and the entire crew of Arby Cartage were professional, friendly, hard working and last but not least caring. The care put in to the handling of my belongings has always been my biggest beef when moving and I've done my share of it...6 times in the last 15 years! Arby, Anil and their packers and movers exceeded my expectations. We also had them refinish some of our cupboard doors (they look brand new and we should probably get the rest of them finished as well) and my father's cedar chest, which came out looking like new!

Thanks again for EVERYTHING!

Almost no one likes to move, but when you do have to, having movers like ARBY CARTAGE makes it a pleasure. ARBY came to my house to give an accurate estimate and made every effort to make the move as smooth as possible. Thank you ARBY CARTAGE

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Arby Cartage. From the first call to set up the move to the move itself, the process was seamless. The movers, Raman and Trevor, worked very efficiently and effectively and completed the move in record time.They took great care with the furniture which was being moved to two separate locations at opposite ends of Toronto, and in particular did an amazing job of getting a very large dining room hutch through a very small entranceway. We were really impressed with Arby Cartage, and would not hesitate to call them again - and would most definitely recommend them. A fantastic job at an incredible price!

Could not have found a better moving company without Homestars.
Arby Cartage was 20 minutes early in order to check service elevators etc.They were very careful and merticulously packed the truck in order for all my boxes to fit in.I had wardrobe boxes that they were not aware of but instead of making an issue( as they take up alot of space) they happily accommodated.
Both Anil and his coworker did not stop the whole time and they moved fast!
I have already recommended their services to a friend who is using them next week.
I would not hesitate to use them again.

I used Arby's services recently, they deserve all the good reviews. I will recommend them without hesitation. They were on time, they finished quickly, no hidden fees . There is really no reason to shop around, just phone them get a quote and you done.

My partner and I moved from our 2.5 story downtown Toronto rental home to our 2.5story owned home which had just had a full paint job and floors sanded. Arby visited our place about a month prior to moving and gave us a quote plus helpful advice about the number of boxes we'd need, how long the move would probably take as well as a detailed description of the team he would be sending. This was compared against another company's quote plus an online quote and the expedience of providing the estimate, the estimate itself, the high Homestars rating and the fact that it was a small, family run operation all tipped the balance in their favor.
Move day Arby's son Anihl and his 4 man tream arrived about 20 min. early and worked incredibly quickly and efficiently, in fact, I'd flag to anyone planning to use Arby...be ready! They really know how to move! At the same time, the team was respectful and careful, dismantling what needed to be and wrapping what needed protection. I had made prior arrangements with Arby to plastic wrap our white sofa and did have to point this out to Anihl and his team as they were just going to wrap it as usual, but they were happy to carry through with the request. A few of our pieces of furniture already had dings or scratches and they carefully pointed these out to us so that no issues arose later.

Once at the new house, they were careful not to bump or mark up the newly painted walls and made use of paper on the newly sanded floors. We have a LOT of books so we appreciated the amount of heavy lifting these guys had to do over the full, 10+ hour day at both locations, and after moving close to 400 boxes over the course of the entire day, I'd say about 85% or more of the boxes ended up exactly where we asked them to be placed, any confusion more due to our labelling than their misreading.
The estimate of one large truck and one small truck needed to be augmented with a followup small truck to pick up the last load...our 10 or so wardobe boxes. Arby himself completed this run while his move team waited to unload them, by now in the pouring rain.
Barely a drop of water came into our new home due to the clever system they set up to bring the last boxes in.

My only real critical comment is one that I've experienced with other moving companies as well ( we've moved 3 times in the last 4 years), and it's about the placement of 'Fragile' boxes: Boxes marked 'Fragile' were carried with due attention, yet both with Arby and other movers, quite often, I would find a 'Fragile' box placed underneath 2 sometimes 3 other, non-'Fragile' boxes. This obviously puts the fragile contents at risk so in my mind is really Moving 101. I pointed it out to Anihl and this was duly and respectfully conveyed to the rest of the team.
And on a lesser note, but one worth mentioning, I labelled most of our boxes on both the top and one side both in terms of room and contents, so that as the boxes stacked up I could still locate things. I requested that they try and pay attention to this which once mentioned they attempted to do.

The moving team worked straight through from 8:45am -about 7:30pm without any visible break. They barely even accepted water and cans of pop! Very polite, clearly working as a team who enjoyed each other....very nice energy to have around.

So big Thanks to all of you at Arby moving. We hope not to be moving for some time now but will happily recommend you to anyone we can.

I'd tried to give a 9.5rating but it only let's me indicate 9 or 10. High 9's!

The team was quick, polite and on time. No issues of any sort, and as I was back and forth between the two locations, they acted in a professional manner at all times.

This was a 4 hour move of large file cabinets, 100+ boxes of files. Amil and his team were a pleasure to work with. Polite, efficient and professional. They were on time, the job done within the time frame expected, and right on budget. I would not hesitate to use Arby again, or recommend them to my friends and family.
