Centennial Moving

These guys take the time to make sure everything is wrapped properly and that your belongings do not arrive damaged. They worked efficiently and did not linger. They got the job done in the time promised and took care to load and unload everything carefully. They are not the cheapest movers around but are well worth the piece of mind knowing that your furniture will not be damaged in transition to your new place

I have never written a review before but felt compelled to warn consumers about this company. We hired Centennial Movers to move a 2 bedroom bungalow from Toronto to Vancouver Island. We dealt with Xavier who quoted us $4900 for approx. 8000lbs with an expected delivery date around the beginning of April. On move out day, the movers were efficient but did manage to break off a large piece of stone from the front porch with their dolly and didn't bother mentioning it. I did relay what I witnessed in an email to Centennial but nothing was done to rectify it. We received a bill later that day which was significantly more than the original quote (like $3,000 more) with the final weight of 12820! I was floored. We have a 2 bedroom, 900 square foot bungalow! When I asked for the waybill documenting the weight, I got a weight typed on company letterhead...nothing official. Since net weight is such a point of contention, you would think that they would be able to provide an actual waybill. Move in day came and went. Follow-up phone calls and emails with Xavier had me trying to track down their dispatcher directly whom could not even provide a ballpark date when our things would arrive. Fortunately we had brought camping gear with us so we were not completely without. Finally, three weeks after the estimated delivery date, only HALF of our items showed up. We were made to pay the full amount or they would not unload. The movers were very nice and pointed out damage...there was a fair amount of it. The movers tracked down the other half of our items to a warehouse in Vancouver and sent us photos. I was horrified to see some of the boxes ripped and stacked in a way which completely neglected the instructions on the box. Some damage is to be expected with a long-distance move but after seeing the way in which our items were handled, I attribute a lot of the damage to a total lack of care. We received the remainder of our items a week later and fortunately despite some damage everything was accounted for. We did receive a box that did not belong to us but the movers picked up on it quickly and put it back in their truck. After inventorying the damage, I provided the necessary information to the claims department but was told the damage would essentially be the cost of the $300 deductible ( the damage was far greater). They were willing to offer me a $70 reimbursement on the condition that I "opt from pursuing further with legal complaints or claims, posting online reviews related to Centennial moving that will negatively affect the company's reputation". I thanked them for their hush money but said I would rather have the ability to post my experience online to caution others who are looking for a reputable moving company.

I chose Centennial after calling a few companies as I wanted reasonable pricing, professional attitude and a good connect with the office. They were the best fit. they answered my numerous questions and kept me updated all the way through. I would use again and will be referring. Thank you for the great service.

I was at my wits end wondering how we would move the items we were not leaving for the new owners....Centennial gave us a quote that was well within my budget and scheduled the move at the best time. Not only were there there on time but very professional and helpful in all they packed and handled. When we arrived at home in ON, they were there within the hour from when they said they would be. I cannot say enough about these guys...they were kind, professional and pleasant! I recommend them highly.

From the start there was excellent communication. I went online and found the best movers. Centennial came back to me the quickest, most helpful and fairly priced. I dealt with the company and everyone was fantastic. The packers in Calgary and the unloaders in Toronto were friendly and efficient, and nothing arrived broken, including 2 mirrors, a tv and several photo frames.

Fantastic service, always go above and beyond and more than happy to answer my questions. I’ll never use another company as I know 100% I get the best price and best service with Centennial. I highly recommend for anybody looking at moving accross country to contact these guys, I’ve used them twice.

Vlad & Alex did the move for me and it was Perfect, they are clean, professional and not wasting any time. I am quite happy with Centennial and I will call them 100% again if I have to move, I have already given their names to my friends.
Thanks Alex and Vlad.

The team was fabulous in the first leg of our move today to storage. They handled and packed everything as if it was their own. They were polite, courteous and capable. We felt like our possessions were in expert hands and we hope they are assigned to assist with the second portion of our move to our new home. Hats off to them and couldn't be happier! Martin and his team completed the second leg of our move - he was fabulous and so was his team. I can't say enough good things about his service!!! They took all the stress out of or move and made us feel we were always in good hands! your movers are the best!!!!
