El Cheapo Movers Ltd.

This is my second move with El Cheapo and both times, it wasn't a straightforward move. These guys were on time, under budget, FRIENDLY and professional. They were very careful with all of our belongings and incredibly accommodating. I have recommended them to several people and we will be using them for all of our moves in the future.

I wouldn't go with El Cheapo for a complex move, one with antiques or china, but I was very pleased with two small moves they did for me.

The first was to move a fridge and stove from one locale to another. The team was prompt, friendly, funny, and helpful. They disconnected the appliances and, when they delivered them to their new place, reconnected them and switched up the fridge door.

The other day, when I needed a huge piece of exercise equipment taken down a narrow flight of stairs from my attic, they did in 5 minutes flat and delivered it to a friend's house. Again, friendly and polite ...

One beef. A little chip in the new paint job.

El Cheapo have always been my go to office movers. I also used them for a montreal move years ago. Always on time and they take great care to move things without damages and at a nice pace.

We've moved twice this year and both times, we've used El Cheapo as they were recommended by a number of friends. Both times, the staff were polite and hardworking.

I would recommend choosing an earlier time slot as our second move was quite delayed. Though they told us they would arrive between 1 and 3 pm, they did not show up until 5 pm. I don't blame the movers as they had an arduous move before us, but I wish the office staff were more honest about timelines and took more initiative in communicating with us in these situations. They tried to assure us they would arrive in 20 minutes as they were en route from Scarborough. We live downtown at Dufferin and Dundas, you can't make that time in the middle of the night, let alone rush hour!

My last complaint is that one of the three movers in our second move was a bit careless and dented our kitchen wall while carrying a drawer. Of the five movers we've interacted with, he was the exception as the four others were a pleasure to work with.

Overall, I would recommend this to my mother but stress the importance of choosing an early time slot.

This was a last minute move, when occupancy of my new place was delayed and I had to cope with a move to a sublet and then a move to my permanent place....while putting some stuff in storage tempoarily. A nightmare! By el cheapo coped with everything. Courteous, professional service...and no nasty price surprises.

This was the best moving experience I've had, and I have moved many times over the years. The guys worked really hard, and fast. They put a lot of energy into the move.
My previous move cost me quite a bit more for approximately the same amount of stuff, so I was impressed.

their pricing is good, and they were pros. I will certainly use this company again.

I have moved four times in the Toronto area in the past 20 years and used many different movers. THIS COMPANY IS THE BEST!!!!!!! From the very first, they are professional, detailed, helpful and THEY DELIVER !!!!
The initial interview is pleasant. the follow up is prompt, and Eric and Erick , who did the load in/load out were pleasant, cheerful , attentive all the way.

They call you if they know you will be delayed, they are very attentive and in my opinion, you hare getting great value for the money , especially if you are moving within the GTA

My daughter was moving from one condo to another and was stood-up by a bad moving company that we had pre-booked. Within 4 hours of initially calling El Cheapo they sent 2 men and a truck to move her. This company was professional and charged only what they quoted despite the fact it was a last minute emergency move. The 2 moving men were fast, friendly, knowledgable and very good at their job.They took on the job at the end of their working day, just to help us out because we were stranded.We are recommending this company to everyone we know.

Moved on December 11. Move was a little complicated as we had to move stuff from my house to a storage unit and my temporary location.
When the movers arrived they agreed that it made more sense to do the storage run first, come back to the house and do the other part of the move separately to ensure nothing got mixed up.

I warned them that the storage unit was already quite crowded and was afraid that stuff wouldn't fit in entirely, but they got it all in!

They worked very hard and efficiently. They stopped for lunch but didn't charge me that time. All of my furniture and belongings were treated with respect. They appreciated that I wanted to help but couldn't lift certain items.

My only beef -- if I really have one is that when I booked I said I preferred the earliest time possible, but was told as I was booking quite close to my moving date (as my other movers had fallen through) that I was slotted for the noon to 2pm arrival time. Which I obviously took. The guys arrived around 1pm, and I asked them how the first move of the day had been, and they said that I was their first move of the day... so I don't understand a) why I couldn't have an earlier start time and b) why they weren't there right at noon then... unless the truck was being used by another crew earlier in the day???

In any event, I would use them again for sure. Every single person I spoke to about my move was polite and professional. Impressive considering all the terrible moving companies out there.
