Hudson Movers

Like many Torontonians we are new to the area and therefore had no idea which removal company to choose. We did our research and read all the horror stories; After interviewing 5 companies we chose Hudson initially because of their great attitude at the front end. The team we had ( Chris' sbrigade) were SUPERB. This was a difficult "downsize" move with heavy Indian furniture going from a house to a loft on 3 floors with narrow staircases and a lift restriction also.

Their calmness and "can do" approach to all the difficult issues made the move so much easier on us. Only one piece of furniture wouldn't go up but not before they removed the stair railing,. considered all the angles and spent an hour giving it their best shot. We and our possessions were treated with consideration, and respect. There was no panic, no negativity even though it was about 90% in here and the guys were exhausted.
Brilliant. Great choice and even when the final bill came in it was fair and accurate; we were consulted when an extra man needed to be brought in so there was no surprises. Also NOTHING got broken or damaged in this move!!

We can't thank you enough for making our move such a success. The four movers were courteous, hard-working and solved a dozen problems related to moving our furniture through narrow doorways and hallways. Their experience and willingness to help us were greatly appreciated. We will certainly recommend Hudson to friends and family and will come to you for any future moves.

We were very impressed from start to finish. They gave an initial quote based on a telephone conversation, then came to the house and gave a more precise estimate. On move day, they said they would arrive at approximately 8AM. At 8AM on the dot - the team arrived. Very friendly, professional and efficient. They protected the whole house prior to moving things out - carefully wrapped up all the furniture. When we arrived at the other end, they unloaded and unpacked the truck in record time. When all was said and done, this cost us less than the quote provided - unheard of! Hudson Movers really made what should have been a very stressful day, an easy move day. Thank you.

I only have good things to say about the Hudson team who moved us. They were punctual, kind, worked hard and nothing was a problem. It was a big move and they came in 30% under budget (unheard of.) Again, I highly recommend them.

They were amazing. Kind, gentle, timely, efficient and highly organized. I felt confident that they would treat every item with kid gloves and they were respectful at the other end in terms of placing things where we wanted them. I never felt that they had anything but our best interests at heart.

This is the third time I've used Hudsons Movers and I would recommend their service to anyone who is moving. From the first point of contact you make to questions that arise and their moving crews are the best. Very professional, knowledgeable and hardworking!

When I sold my house and moved, I heard that Hudson movers were a good company from a friend. They wrapped the furniture in cloths and thick saran wrap, and numbered every item and box with a sticker, accompanied by a list. They were efficient, and everything arrived in good condition except one antique dresser -- one of the fifty year-old wheels had broken off. They offered to have it repaired.

Hudson Movers was excellent in the preliminary time leading up to the move. Also, they were great during the move with the staff, timing, packing and moving. The positive attitude made the move much less stressful.

I chose Hudson Movers based on past experience - two very successful prior moves with them. This third move (yesterday) was just as good. Four super guys who were efficient, hardworking, very attentive to my needs and chivalrous too. Would I choose Hudson Movers again? Absolutely - only next time I'll hire them to do the packing as well. I've heard horror stories about other movers, and to me it only makes sense to choose the professionals, know what you're paying for, and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your move is going to be stress free. A special shout-out to Margaret Penny, who came and did an estimate in advance, ensuring that all the important details would be taken care of. Great job!

I've used Hudson movers twice, two years in a row and cannot recommend them.

My first complaint is price. The first move was from a two bedroom apartment to a small house a kilometer away and it was 8 hrs labour and $1,100. The second time I used them I had sold a good deal of my furniture, so there was considerably less to move - again, a very short distance - just a few blocks - and it was still 8 hours labour and this time $1,500. The $400 difference, about a 37% increase, was literally two weeks shy of a year later. I found this to be exorbitant and beyond a typical annual increase.

The larger issue was damage. Several items had minor damage, but I have an antique Korean chest - the only piece of significant monetary and sentimental value (I inherited it when my parents died) - and it had a sizeable piece broken off the base. I was not told when this occurred or I would have at least looked for the piece that had broken off in the truck. Instead, it was placed against a wall in a way that hid the damage, so I didn't realize it had happened until I moved it a couple of weeks later and saw the damaged side. I called Hudson Movers and the woman I spoke with was far from apologetic. She eventually said she would look into it and call me back, but she never did. The total lack of concern I think reflects even more poorly on the company than the damage done.

In my opinion, they failed in every regard: price, service and integrity. I not only can't recommend them, I feel morally compelled to warn potential customers - they're not worth the risk.
