    Moving

    The two movers were extremely professional, quick and friendly. They arrived on time for the move and timed things perfectly to show up at my new apartment in time to use the booked elevator. All my possessions were treated with great care -- nothing was damaged. I will absolutely use Firemen Movers again.

    Large move of high end furniture and packing

    We hired Firemen movers on a last minute move. They were very accommodating in their availability. The team was strong and worked fairly efficiently. Having said this, two items were broken the day of the move and now that we are beginning to unpack the rest of our items, we are finding that many more were broken. An entire day was dedicated to packing the breakables and so we find it unacceptable to have such a high breakage rate. A professional moving company such as the Firemen Movers should have the knowledge and resources to pack valuables.

    Answer from pro:

    Dear Andrea, Thank you for providing your valuable comments on your move with us. We know that our customers rely on us to provide excellent stress-free moving and packing services, but it is disappointing to read that we did not live up to your expectations. It is the high level of service that includes carefully wrapping and packing household contents that our customers have come to expect from us and that has made Firemen Movers one of the leading moving companies Toronto. In this situation we were contacted on very short notice, during our busiest time of month, to complete a move for a large home in the Bridle Path whose contents were going to auction. Neither Firemen Movers nor the client had seen the contents of the home prior to the move so it was very difficult to plan appropriately for the packing services that were required. Once on-site we informed the client that many of the items in this home were of a very high value and that the majority should be professionally crated to be moved properly. We were instructed to the best we could as the move had to be completed on extremely short notice and professional crating was not an option. Firemen Movers did pack as many boxes as possible, and we did this in the same professional manner that we do all of our packing jobs for which we have had no complaints. Due to the size of this move and the short notice involved we recommended to the client that they secure an additional truck from a secondary moving company. It was this company that moved all of the boxes in question. As a result, given the lack of proper crating, the number of companies involved and the length of time between when the move occurred and the notice of damage, we do not feel this is a fair critique of the level of service we provided. We at Firemen Movers stand by the work we performed on this move and feel that we helped these clients through a very short notice, complex move at months end.

    Corporate Office Move ~ EXCELLENT MOVERS

    First and foremost, I need to share that I/we have found our MOVERS for Life, I will NEVER call anyone but Firemen Movers for one simple reason...they were exceptional. Doug and his team were HONEST. They were Professional and their attention and concern to all of our belongings was absolutely brilliant. We moved into a Century Home and they were extremely respectful and so very attentive to our need to ensure that absolutely everything was handled with care in a timely manner, all the while exceeding my expectations. They truly exemplify their slogan...let the Firemen Movers rescue your MOVE. They certainly did, just that. Thanks to the fantastic team of Levi, Cam and Rob who provided lifeexperiences.ca with a moving "experience" to fondly remember. I'm telling everyone I know...to Call Firemen Movers for their next residential or business move. Thank you.

    2 Bedroom Condo to House

    Our move in late Feb. Arrived a few mins late, which I LIKED! Anyone who has moved knows your running around last minute. Their being late was not their fault, the postal code look-up loves to send people to the longest possible route to my condo. We had all boxes stacked in our dinning room. Elevator ready to go. They emptied the dinning room of the boxes and loaded into truck in 30 minutes flat. Wrapped everything, including a few cheap POS Ikea tables. All valuables and furnishings wrapped. I am a realist. I expect something to get broken, a wall to get scuffed or a carpet to get dirty. No matter how many precautions you take, things happen. NOTHING happened. Every box unpacked, not one broken, chipped, scuffed item. These guys had to carry what has to be the heaviest TV I ever seen up a flight of stairs into our bedroom. Its an old Sony tv. Easily 225lbs. Not an issue. Our leather lazyboy couch would not fit through the door. They popped out the sliding glass doors in seconds, navigated this beast of a couch down a flight of stairs which circled to the basement with mere millimeters on each side for clearance. Could I have founder cheaper? You bet. Would I ever use cheaper. Nope. You get what you pay for. I have collectable items worth thousands. More than any insurance policy would cover. I have high end electronics I spent thousands on. Not going to risk thousands of dollars to save a few hundred. With this company, moving is stress free. The way it should be. Just stay out of their way, and let them do what they do best, and that night, you will be laying in bed, exclaiming "jeez, that was easy".

    Answer from pro:

    "That was easy"! Those are the best words we can ever hope to hear from one of our clients. Thank you very much for taking the time to write about your thoughts regarding our service. We greatly appreciate your words and will pass them along to our crews. Thanks again, Firemen Movers

    Move = quality, but very, very expensive

    Excellent service, stress free move until I saw the bill. They warned me that it might take a full day, but I brushed that off thinking it should be perhaps five hours tops. We moved from a two bedroom apartment to a two storey house. We do not have a lot of stuff and they had three guys - the truck was less than half full. Points: they did not damage anything, items were carefully wrapped, asked where everything should go, went the extra mile Cons: $1400 to move within the city! I'm far from rich, this is our starter home. The boys were great - again - but they seemed to be reallllly taking their time and having a good time. Great that they were having a good time and enjoying their work, but guess what, pick it up! Think they could have shaved two hours off our move (seven hours to move my two bedroom apartment sparsely furnished!). If you're well off, these are your guys. If you're not prepared to pay 1k or more, do not call these guys.

    Answer from pro:

    Management response from Doug Harper - Co-Owner Dear Sean Thank you for providing this valuable feedback on your move with us. We know that our customers rely on us to provide excellent stress-free moving service, but it is disappointing to read that our services did not live up to the same expectations. It is the high level of service that includes carefully wrapping and loading furniture that our customers have come to expect from us and that has made Firemen Movers one of the leading moving companies Toronto. That being said, as is the case with your recent move, we are not always perfect and sometimes we fall short on our delivery. However, we take all feedback very seriously and in this case we did a thorough investigation of all of the factors which contributed to a longer time than you expected for your move. After speaking with you about these we hope that you understand some of the challenges our crew faced and that the resolution we arrived at is satisfactory. We look forward to counting you as one of our customers in the future. We also thank you for your comments as they will certainly help us in our efforts to continue to improve upon our customer service for future customers. Thank you again for the opportunity to be of service and all the best in your new home. Sincerely, Doug Harper Co-Owner
