Overall had not that good of the experience. Had to move from NL with the restaurant of my father - Tim Hortons. Company was very responsive, but my agent Jacob seemed like he didn't want to work with me. Initilly he said that they won't move such quantities of appliances, so I was already disappointed, but then he provided me with incorrect estimate and I thought that I can't trust it with such mistakes. Another agent Mildred who reached out to me, was very helpful on the other hand and I feel sorry for not getting back to her, but first impression of Jacob immediately blew my trust in these guys.

Dima and the other gentleman (sorry, I cannot remember his name) did a great job. Called when they were on their way, arrived promptly, showed them what was moving, and they started in right away. They were both very efficient, and strong as they would carry multiple boxes at a time and didn't drag their feet to prolong the time. Overall, very happy with their service.

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 scammed by Centennial.

I first got in touch with Centennial two months ago and the services were so good. There were no delays experienced. More importantly from a budget standpoint, I did not have to spend so much money on the relocation services. Thanks to the teams, I now have belief in local relocation companies.

Everything arrived unbroken - nice work. However, the cost of the move was twice what were quoted for the same amount of items.
Also, they weren't able to tell us when they were picking up our items or delivering them.

We had a great experience moving our home with your company. The quote was accurate and fast, and the moving crew made sure furniture re-assembly was quick and accurate. I interacted with their representative who helped make sure we knew the process and kept us on our timeline with all aspects of the move. Everything was completed in concert and you made sure we had everything done in a quick and clean fashion. We have recommended Centennial when neighbours have asked and will use you guys again.

We were thrilled with the competence of your crews for our move. Over the 2 days, we had the pleasure of experiencing the thoughtfulness and focus of the movers as they carefully wrapped and handled our items of various sizes and weights. These guys were friendly but maintained their focus and determination over the process. And they were careful and even complimentary of our household furnishings and treated them as if they were their own. We will call you again for our next move!!

We cannot recommend Centennial highly enough. You hear a lot of negative things about movers, so I was very anxious about the relocation. We moved from Toronto to Quebec and the guys were just sensational. I haven’t seen two guys work so hard in a long time. Our sincerest thanks to Serge and William for their care and dedication. Nothing was too much trouble. We would not hesitate to use them again and will definitely recommend them to family and friends. Thanks so much, guys!! And thanks also to Xavier for all his help.

What ever you DO NOT USE THIS MOVING COMPANY!!!!!
This is the worst moving company in the world. I paid almost $8000 to have my stuff packed & moved from Quebec to Ontario. My house was packed up by Centinial end of August 2021 and arrived in Ontario 10days later in Sept 2021.
There were broken some broken & missing items largely my Tv and outdoor chair cushions were missing.

It’s now December 2021 and I still have not received my stuff this is response I received from them in Dec.

“ In terms of cushions and TV, those were found and we planned to send it, but the customer from the same truck who has it, had everything delivered in the storage unit and then left the country, so we can't access it without him.”

It’s 3 months later, it’s been a night mare they barely respond to my emails or return my calls.

Now they expect me to wait for when ever this fictional person returns in a year or two. I don’t even know if this story is true. They might have just stolen my items and are using this excuse.

Please don’t ever use this company unless all you want is missing items and stress.
They are very unprofessional and very dishonest.
Not to mention very expensive my original quote was around $3000 but after they picked up my stuff they sent an invoice of over $7000 so I had no choice but to pay before getting my stuff delivered.

I have no idea if I will ever see my stuff again!

Today Dec 16 this company states my claim has been resolved by the claims department!!!!
How has been resolved????
I still have not received any of my missing items or any compensation.
This is very dishonest of the moving company to state this. This is very misleading and dishonest to potential customers.
My claim will only be resolved when I receive my missing items or compensation for my missing items. It’s 3 months later this company is not honest!

When we bought our house I thought we didn't have too much stuff. But on the moving day, I understood that during the years we had accumulated lots of stuff, normal people have usually one sofa but we have two, the Living room was decorated in a unique way and was very big and that's why we bought so many things. Artificial fireplace, armchairs, tables, art, vases and a large entertainment centre. Poor movers, they moved so much stuff. heavy stuff and they were so polite, showed their professionalism and never complained that two people have so much stuff at home and moving all that to the new place across Canada. Thank you guys ! We really appreciate all your efforts.

This is just a short note to say thank you to everyone involved with our recent move from Clearwater, BC to St.Albert, ON. The loading was accomplished with speed, care and plenty of good humour by the crew. So looking forward to receiving our goods next week. Big Thanks!!

I’m going to be fair, and tell you the pros and cons. Everything started great with Centennial for my move from Calgary to Toronto. I was provided a good quote, and my move coordinator Dave was excellent. He was very responsive, and gave very detailed responses to all my issues. The move was coordinated easily, and was scheduled for 24june21. Note, I heavily underestimated the weight, and the actual weight was substantially more. I was told it would be a big trailer coming which I assume would take my stuff from Calgary to Toronto, with minimal moving between trucks, but when a small truck arrived i knew my stuff would get handled twice as much. We have all travelled on airplanes with boxes, regular boxes packed in a regular way, and as we know these boxes arrive pretty beat up – same concept applies to movers, and this had me a bit worried knowing they would handle my stuff yet again. The crew who came to pick up the furniture were not very professional, but they did their job and didn’t damage anything – but I was expecting more of a professional service from “such a professional” moving company. My stuff was delayed beyond the 4 week estimate, but arrived in 7 weeks – not too bad, and the contract stated there are no guarantees so I cant place blame.
Then our stuff arrived. Very unprofessional movers – no masks, no booties. They had to be asked to put protective covers when taking large items upstairs as to not damage the house. They questioned us on why we used “such big boxes” – doesn’t matter, we don’t need to hear your opinion on how we packed. All the boxes had clear labels as to where they were to go. Yet they would still ask where things went, and huffed and puffed if something has to go upstairs. Also, they placed a bunch of stuff just in the garage instead of where it belonged – must be nice to just do whatever you want to reduce your workload. I had to then move a lot of these heavy boxes myself throughout the house over the next several weeks. And at the end they even asked for a tip…now lets talk about our stuff. Out of 6 pieces of bigger furniture, they broke/lost 3 pieces – that’s 50% of my large items broken or missing! The TV stand was literally crushed (not cheap Ikea stuff), and a custom bench was broken. We had a HUGE king size bed headboard size 8’x5’, which weighed over 200lbs – this was lost and never recovered. How does a moving company loose such a huge piece of furniture? Did they break it and just dump it? Did they decide it was too big and just didn’t care enough to move it? I have moved full family homes over 10 times, and have never broken anything like this, because I used common sense and cared. So we filed a claim on 16Aug, pretty angry that half of my furniture was broken by this super professional moving company who I paid over $7000 to. They responded 2 months later, and stated that I denied additional insurance (which I did, because im a regular person with regular stuff (not garbage), and none if it was super expensive that I needed extra insurance. I also didn’t think any of my stuff was easily breakable), therefore I would be only entitled to the basic insurance payout of 0.60c/lb. Also, there was a $300 deductible (per contract), so they ever so graciously offered me $145 to close the issue, with a stipulation that I cannot post negative reviews anywhere. After losing $3500 worth of stuff, and getting offered $145, it was a slap in my face. So I write this review which cost me $145, to tell you all about my experience. Note, Centennial did in no way breach the contract, so legally I have no recourse. I don’t believe breaking half of someone’s furniture is even remotely acceptable for a professional moving company, regardless of the insurance payouts. For Centennial who I’m sure will respond to this, yes you asked me 3 times if I needed extra insurance, and yes I declined.

Never trust these scammers!
They cancelled my appointment 2 hours before the pick up date. I had to pay twice to another company to move my belongings last minute.
Please think twice before selecting this so called “moving company”.
Not reliable service.

This place helped me out so much when I quickly needed to move from Vancouver to Toronto after starting a new job! I would of never been able to do the task myself as a single dad! My personal belongings were well taken care of and all arrived in one piece at the designated date. The employees were friendly, and very professional. I would recommend anyone who hates to move as much as I do to call Centennial Moving to make it a stress free move! Really do appreciate!

The driver/move leader Serge was phenomenal! He was always organized and kept the move on both ends moving along at a constant pace. He led the fellows that were working with him in a great way. He's very positive, very upbeat and the teams all the members of the teams really responded well to him. It made the move on both ends so smooth. They called to let me know what time to expect the arrival and sure enough he arrived exactly on time here. He is just a tremendous asset. Positive attitude. Great moving skills organizationally. Great people motivator. Could not ask for a better person to be leading our move.

This just reminded me I wanted to thank you and the teams, both in Toronto and New Brunswick, for your awesome service! Everyone was really friendly and helpful at every stage of the process. I originally filled in 6 online forms on different moving company's websites to get estimates. Only 2 responded, you guys were the fastest to respond. As someone whose job is web-based - keep up the good work! I'd definitely recommend you guys to anyone who's moving.

My wife and I recently moved from AB to ON. Centtennial handled our move. They were extremely professional from start to finish. The estimate provided was very accurate and there were no final billing surprises. The office staff were supported throughout the move. The ON based crew were great. They wrapped and protected everything as needed. They delivered everything within the promised delivery window. The crew in AB ( was also great in moving everything in and setting up the beds. The entire move was flawless. Everything was delivered as promised. I would not hesitate to use Centennial again and would highly recommend them to anyone making a move.

Two young men arrived ready to go to work. They spoke Russian to each other sometimes but could speak good English. They did an awesome job moving everything on the truck and from what I saw they did a great job wrapping and taping the big items. At this point my move is not completed. I have not received my things yet, it's only been a week. Hoping to hear from them soon. So far I am glad I chose this company but will know for sure when my things arrive. I will complete my review as soon as my things arrive.

They gave me just the level service required for my long distance move to Toronto. Straight up A' Class advice and support leading up to and during the move from the office. A bunch of hardworking, no-nonsense and amicable movers for the pick up and delivery. Handled my stuff with the care it deserved. Would not hesitate to put out the word of how good a company Centennial is!!!

I was really edgy because I had a cross province move of a small but highly valuable load to me. The big well known companies charged twice what Centennial estimated. I wasn’t able to be at the origination site to check out their drivers or moving staff so it was sight unseen. I was having full packing done for me as well and my stuff needed to be packed very carefully. Needless to say I was really nervous. I made a lot of calls to them asking questions about their more negative reviews- all answered well. The move happened without a hitch! Everything was packed extremely well, great communication all along the way, really courteous customer service, and the mover at my end went out of his way to put things where needed, unpacking, and keeping everything clean in the process. It was a great experience for an unusual load. The delivery was very prompt. It was a great moving experience!!
