Movers

His truck broke down and we fixed it and got him back on the road. He never paid us.

Send two guys, Derek and I forget the other’s name. They were fabalous. Worked effectively. Communicated well. Finished 30min faster than quoted.

I recently used Student Movers for a local move and I couldn't be happier. Everyone from the administrative staff I spoke with on the phone to the two men completing the move were courteous, efficient, and knowledgeable. Each staff member already had answers to questions I didn't even know I should ask and quoted a reasonable price (which was then upheld). I cannot stress enough how respectful the two men moving our belongings were, their consideration of being present precisely at the time given by phone, and finished within the two hour period needed. I especially appreciated the follow-up phone call a few hours after the move was completed inquiring about the quality of service. Thank you Student Movers for a wonderful moving experience and I look forward to working with you in the future! (I'd like to add a quick side note as well that this is the first public review I have ever left. Their service was that exceptional.) Thank you again!

I was very happy with service I received rom the Van Line, no issues whatsoever. They were on time, friendly and very professional in the way my home and furniture was treated, The packing service was done over two days and haulage the following day. I recently finished un-packing and didn't encounter any breakages. A huge thankyou, to James, Greg, Mike, Carolyn, and all who contributed. All the best. I can be contacted for a reference anytime.

Thought I hired a professional moving company, two guys showed up with out dollies or lifting straps. Took them about 6 hours to move 1 queen sized bed, 2 dressers, a big screen t.v and about 12 boxes. They used a 5 ton truck ( this all fit in one load) and they had a huge long drive all they was from south transcona to north transcona. And they figured 900$ would be a fair asking price! I gave them 700. And that's being ridiculously nice.

The gentlemen that came to do the actual moving were great. Did a good job. no damage to anything, we're very nice people to deal with. Unfortunately I can't say the same for one of the owners, Grant. He wanted to come out to see what all needed to be moved. Was supposed to be there for 5:15 pm on Saturday of the long weekend. Didn't show up until 10:15 pm. Said it was because he's a single dad, really busy. Tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and be understanding as I have friends who are single parents and I understand the struggle. I paid the deposit to have them out on May 27 by 9:00 am. As he was leaving, I mentioned that we were probably too late to go to the fireworks with the group we were now very late meeting and just cancelled on. He then mentioned "Yeah, that's what my kids held me up for, they wanted to make arrangements to see the fireworks at the Forks sunday." Nice, so your plans are fine, mine were screwed waiting for you. I digress. Roll around to May 27 when 9:00 am comes and goes, as does 10:00 am... 10:30.... Text Grant. No answer. Call him. No answer and can't leave a voicemail. My husband call's the office, they seem to have no idea what we're talking about but will call back. No call back. Call again at 11:00 am, woman who answers says they're on their way. We ask about a reduction in fee for lateness. Says we have to work it out with the owner and that she's just a volunteer (a volunteer answering the phones for a business? Fishy, but whatever). Call him again, phone is now shut off. Guys show up at noon and Grant finally calls me back. Starts in with the excuses again. I ask him for a discounted rate since we have just waited 3 hours, combine that with the 5 hours the weekend prior, it's the equivalent to a work day. He says he won't give a discount, starts in with the excuses again like the original mover hurt himself (which contradicted what the lady who answered the phone had said who advised someone didn't show up for work), he's a single dad (what this has to do with anything I'll never know), he was driving around on a fork lift, he started at 6:30 this morning, and so on. He then proceeds to throw one of the movers under the bus saying it was his fault they were late and refuses any kind of discount (proceeded to tell me he pays $40,000 in land taxes and can't afford a discount). My husband got a bit vocal because Grant wouldn't listen, wouldn't stop talking, which wasn't the right thing to do, but we were so frustrated. I took the phone back and he just kept talking over me, so I just hung up. I apologized profusely to the movers that were there and doing a great job, bought them some Tim's as they were truly wonderful. As someone in a branch of the service industry, when my product isn't there by the promised time, I apologize, explain myself and instantly offer a discount for the inconvenience. The thing is, I'm normally the most passive person and I get walked on a lot for it. When he was 5 hours late the first time, I should have cut it there. If someone had just called at any point saying "I'm sorry, we're running late", I probably wouldn't have expected some kind of recompense, this review might have been a lot shorter, and a lot kinder. Oh, and low cost? Nope. The other quotes I got were $100 an hour and truck rental of $50. I paid $450 and it took 2.5 hours. Sorry for the length... just thought you deserved to know what you were looking into.

4 hours late. Furniture was carelessly rammed onto the truck, did not bother to use furniture blankets which were readily available. The result was a tear to a leather couch, broken mirror, two broken standing light fixtures and scratches to wood and metal furniture. When I supplied photos of the damages to owner, I received no response whatsoever. Would definitely not recommend this company for anything other than moving boxes.

Awesome moving company ! Did numerous moves for our family 👍

Excellent customer service and movers.

I've used Doug in the past several times with no issue. Today, when 240 yards of topsoil were to be delivered, he didn't show up. After calling, he came down for a quick site visit. He called us idiots and swore at us and threatened to punch me in the face. I was assertive but never aggressive and never swore. His actions are beyond reproachable. Don't work with this ticking time bomb. EVER!
