Small load, ON to BC

We were extremely satisfied with the service provided by Centennial Movers. Easy to contact; excellent web page; fast response to questions; cheerful, courteous, and professional team to load and unload. As they do consolidated loads with only 1000 lbs minimum, we were able to ship a relatively small load at a very reasonable cost; cost on actual weight after loading truck; very honest; move completed in two weeks.

First Class

I had a wonderful experience with a job-related relocation from Regina to Toronto. I needed to move two king size beds, a desk and an office chair. The guys packed everything perfectly in moving blankets and film. We had an outstanding moving coordinator. Additionally, each of the Centennial moving crews was first-class. The moving teams were personable, reliable and professional throughout the process. I could not be more appreciative of the support and great work from Centennial.

Dear Bulent. We would like to offer our deepest apologies for the trouble you had to experience with Centennial Moving. This situation is not ordinary and these incidents are not typical of us. We appreciate that you understand that damages sometimes happen despite numerous checks and measures. We are very sorry that this happened to you but rest assured we are working hard toward minimizing the risk of damages.

We always encourage customers to contact their insurance companies first to see what options they have for their Goods In Transit. If they can't get insurance from their agents, our company offers 3 coverage plans to choose from - Basic, Extended and Valuation. The first two offer compensation based on items' weight at the rate of $0.60/lb and $2/lb, respectively. Valuation coverage offers compensation based on items' value or compensation of the repair cost, this is the most expensive plan. All this information is communicated prior to making a booking, so you could make the right choice.

We offered compensation based on the coverage plan you selected (Extended Coverage) and even increased it after you refused our proposal. To fix this situation and regain your confidence in us, we are still open to negotiation as a token of our sincere regret. Just contact our claims department back.

The weight discrepancy you had comes from the information you submitted to us. You declared you are moving 61 items while the movers tagged and labeled twice more, 131 items. We bill according to the weight determined after the truck scale and not based on the estimate. As we can see in this case it wasn't accurate.

Thank you for sharing your feedback which we deeply appreciate. We value your opinion and see it as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Jumped In

The most important thing that we wish to convey is the quality of the movers who assisted in our move.They were courteous and professional as they worked away to get us on our way. The unloading process was just as perfect as they moved all the items to our exact requirements. While we experienced a little hiccup about delivery dates, several people jumped on the problem and delivered our furnishings as expected. We really appreciate the way they solved the problem. We recommend Centennial to anyone planning a move.

Moving

The wife and I use this company to move from Toronto to Calgary. We booked them two months ahead of time at which point we were asked to submit a list of the things we would be moving. We did this however unfortunately we underestimated the number of boxes we would be moving by about 50%. This roughly doubled the weight of our things. Thanks to this a 2 to 3 week move has turned into a 5 to 6 week move. During this time they are virtually impossible to get on the telephone. Emails go unanswered and even if you do manage to get someone on the telephone be prepared to be treated with contempt and rudeness. The guys doing the actual move, the guys put the stuff in the truck were nothing but polite and nice and professional. The company they work for unfortunately are a gigantic pile of garbage. I would never use this company for anything ever again and I certainly would never recommend anyone use it themselves, unless I really didnt like the person very much.

Dear value customer,

It is with great regret that I received your complaint regarding the delay in connecting your service.

While I appreciate your honest feedback and the fact you mentioned positive aspects about the movers, I may disagree to some of your statements and would like to give some more insight here.

I can understand it is already stressful to move cross province and you can imagine how much time and effort required to prepare for the move. As a company, we can't see your items until the pickup date and no one knows your household items better than yourself. So we ask customers to inform us what they are moving and give us as accurate information as possible. We schedule multiple customers for pickups and drop-offs on the way and have to take into consideration the size of each load to ensure everything fits and we don't have to cancel or reschedule customers last minute. And I can tell you this is not an easy task to plan a trip and keep an eye on the truck's space availability. If customers don't have time or possibility to provide us with accurate information how do we then plan the move properly? It is with the dedicated movers you can be less accurate with the details as it is only your belongings going in a truck but then you pay two or three times more.

We are always trying our best to coordinate moves and gather the most information upfront. But it is ultimately customer's responsibility to prepare and provide accurate information to the company. Thus, we put disclaimers and warnings for customers before they make reservation, such as this one

Disclaimer: you are fully responsible for the accuracy of the information provided, list of items, addresses, etc. Failure to provide accurate information may lead to departure and transit time delays, as well as a last-minute cancellation. In such an event, the deposit is not refundable. To avoid changing your requested moving dates, send us the inventory and pickup address before submitting the deposit. Please note: a penalty of $300 will apply should the incomplete or inaccurate inventory provided by you force us to cancel or reschedule other customers.

We locked the space in the tractor-trailer based on the information you submitted (5040 lbs). We do leave a buffer of around 1000 - 1500 lbs. However, this didn't help us in you case when the actual size of your load was double the one you declared to us. Instead of 97 items, we loaded 187 items. With such a discrepancy we no longer could fit your belongings in the truck we planned for. Thus, we were forced to schedule your delivery with the following truck that had enough space for your belongings.

I understand it can be difficult to make a list of everything, but we offer customers an online easy-to-use service to manage inventory. We move hundreds of customers monthly and they appreciate the new system we use for gathering details.

I'm really sorry we didn't meet your expectations but we are trying our best to minimize the potential delay of your delivery. We have departures from Toronto every 1-2 weeks and the transit time for such a move is up to 14 business days. We will keep you posted on the progress of your delivery.

I'd like to make things right for you and was hoping we could find a solution that makes you happy. Please reply me back at your earliest convenience.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

They canceled on us. 36 hours before our move, with deposits paid, flights booked, vacation taken, temporary accommodation found etc, they sent us an email to let us know they couldn't do our move. Instead, they proposed a later date - one where we would no longer have access to the condo we were moving from.

This forced me to try and find a different mover on 24hrs notice, costing us thousands of dollars more, and causing considerable stress for my pregnant wife, infant and dog just as we were embarking on a cross-country move.

I've moved dozens of times in my life and this was the worst experience by far.

Feels like we just got played by Centennial.

Dear Oliver,

We acted in good faith to help you with your move. The sudden emergency situation forced us to act quickly and reschedule your pickup to the earliest possible date. However, we did managed to find another driver the same day and contacted you right away to confirm the pickup. At that moment, you refused to continue with our service because of timing. We did our best to rectify the situation and managed to fix the problem.

This is a really rare and unusual situation. We are always keen to act proactively and plan ahead. We will make everything in our power to make sure this won’t happen again.

Now that you chose another way to move, your booking was canceled and the deposit was refunded accordingly. It's sad that you refused the compensation we offered. We are still willing to compensate you as a token of regret for this unfortunate situation.

To be considered

We had the pleasure of having a wonderful crew loading our belongings in Calgary for shipment to Guelph. All folks were extremely courteous, professional and very skilled in insuring our stuff was handled with care and respect. We have used Centennial in moves since 2019 and although we hope this is our last move, if we do move again we will call these professionals!! We can't say enough about the quality of all these folks. They all have a great attitude and are ready to make something as stressful as a move as pleasurable as possible. All of the movers were interested in our stuff and had suggestions as to where to place items and we enjoyed joking around with these wonderful folks. Don't even consider another mover for your move!!

Moving across the country

Centennial moving company was amazing! As a first time mover, this company accommodated all my needs from the beginning to the end. The final cost was similar to the quote that we initially received. Easy to reach and communicate with.

Consideration shown

I had a great experience with this company when I moved from Prince Albert to Montreal this week. There was so much more to a long distance move than I thought (timing, insurance, what to pack so you have it the night you arrive, etc) so I'm glad that the sales person walked me through everything and also emailed it to me so I could reference later. When the truck arrived at my apartment, the movers had already talked to the concierge about permission to park the truck where they needed it and moving hours and all those kinds of things. The guys were super friendly and were respectful of my new neighbors by asking them if they needed to move the truck or if they were in their way at all. Everything arrived safe and sound and nothing was broken. The guys even put together our beds, kitchen table, couch sectional and unwrapped a really big rug for me. I'm used to having to do all the manual labor myself when I move so it was nice to be able to relax and just unpack the boxes. Well, I mean, unpacking boxes isn't my cup of tea but it's better than doing all the heavy lifting. Thumbs up to these guys.
