The Worst
March 17, 2021

Where to begin? This was the worst experience I had with a move ever. They took 6 hours to do a 2-bedroom condo moving, with everything already packed and ready to go. The last company that I've used made the same move within 2 hours, with time to spare). The movers were super slow, not wearing a uniform, not wearing gloves, forgot to bring the mattress cover, and they spend the whole time horsing around and talking on the phone in a foreign language. They then destroyed a baseboard at my building (which I had to pay and refused to refund). And then they ripped my new office chair, and of course, refused to repay). And then they took a 1:30h lunch and CHARGED ME for this time. You can always expect some wear and tear on any move, but almost every single piece of furniture got damaged. And then the absurd charge: $750 (Which they tried to get in cash not to pay any taxes). Never again!

Worst Company Ever!
March 17, 2021

This is absolutely the worst company to ever deal with. They are unprofessional in every way. They moved us about 6-7 months ago broke a 4K Samsung and expensive click broke mirrors and still to this day has not replaced any of these items. They give you the run around every time you call. They take your money immediately but won't replace the broken items. THIEVES! There managers are a joke as each one passes the buck to the next until you just give up. Totally crooked liars and thieves. DON NOT EVER ISE THIS COMPANY! IF they can rip you off they will.

Asked for money before move
February 18, 2021

I was asked for moving total prior to my move. Cancelled move due to that. Ower called and said the person that called me no longer worked for company. I called Barrie metropolitan movers and asked for Oliver and there was no one working by that way. Apparently there is something going on.

Horrible is an understatement!
February 2, 2021

My roommate and I used this service for our move and it could have not gone any worse. They were unbelievably unprofessional, and inefficient. I had to crawl into the truck and show them how much more space there was since they were convinced nothing else would fit. My boyfriend had to go and repackaged everything and help them figure out how to properly pack. Furthermore they were smoking around our furniture while moving and while standing in the truck. Our contract stated that we were supposed to have the service for 2 hours and after 2 hours the men said they had to stay for a minimum of 3. My roommate spent half an hour arguing with them in the middle of our move that this was not what we agreed to. Once she spoke to their manager on the phone - who was extremely rude - we were forced to pay for three hours with the promise that we could contact customer service to get our money back the next day.

The following day we contacted their customer service rep, Oliver, who was possibly the worst of it all. As a way of responding to the issue he yelled back at my roommate on the phone and refused to refund us our hour that we did not receive of service. They fully took advantage of myself and my roommate as this was our first experience moving on our own. I could not be more disgusted in how they conducted themselves throughout the entire process. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST.

Very Positive Experience!
September 30, 2020

A few days ago, Metropolitan did an absolutely amazing job during the move. I had to store some of my furniture into a storage POD and they did an extraordinary job of carefully wrapping, packing. And moving my furniture. They were extremely polite and friendly while maintaining a good level of professionalism. I would recommend their service to everyone and I will be definitely contacting them again for their service if needed. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Terrible customer service - do not use
August 27, 2018

Metropolitan Movers doesn't even do the moving job, they contract it out to local companies. As far as the actual move went, I was very satisfied. However, moving day was very emotional for me as my husband and I are splitting up. The mover took advantage of that and ended up overcharging me by $500. I followed up with Metropolitan Movers and was given the run around. Then I had to follow up directly with the moving company (Maple Green Moving and Logistics in London, Ontario) to request a refund. I was told they would be launching an investigation and would let me know the outcome. It was very clear that what my contract stated was very different from the invoice. Maple Green had copies of both items, so they should have been clear on the extra charges. Apparently I signed up for additional insurance on the day of my move, which was not made clear to me by the mover and was charged for additional line items which my contract covered. It took almost a full week of me calling and texting every day followed up with a threat to sue them. Then miraculously $400 was e-transferred to me (minus the insurance fee). Do not use either one of these companies!

Not customer friendly
August 10, 2018

Was not happy with the way they do business. They quote you on the phone, but when the person is on site to move, he spends, 15 minute to complete the contract of a 4hour minimum requirement to move, where they round up to the half hour if you go into the next hour.
The guy tells me that they charge $45 per item that is heavy to go downstairs, on top of a heavy item charge, before they see the location, then he says he would not recommend taking stuff downstairs because it would damage drywall, all the time complaining about how heavy items are. If they do not end up moving the items down the stairs because they are too heavy, you still are charged the $45 per item - however, he did not charge me as I made a complaint that the policy they have was not right. Will not ever use this moving company again. I do not mind paying for a service, but when there are charges that are not disclosed on the initial phone quote, and you end up paying double your quote - I have a problem with that.
The heavy item, was a wooden banker's desk, I told him and his 2 helpers, and my husband helped, to leave it in the hall of my house, which was 10' from front door, as I had enough of the guy complaining, I spent 15minutes to remove screws, and my 2 sons (same age as his helpers) took them down for me without damaging my drywall. Moving doesn't only require bronze, but some brains as well. Maybe if he spent more energy focusing on the job instead of complaining, what I wanted done would have been done, and I would not have felt bad paying for double the quote. When I called the company to complain, the feedback was basically, too bad you paid, cannot make any adjustments.

Terrible Company- DO NOT USE
April 12, 2018

Used them for our move on April 1. They showed up an hour early while we were still offsite loading the truck and then they clearly had no communication on the price that was quoted to us. They had a sketchy reason for not accepting our debit card so we paid in cash. It's been 11 days since I've used their service and have yet to receive an invoice. I have called EVERY single day since our move to obtain this invoice, each time getting a different answer.

Metropolitan Movers Winnipeg
June 14, 2014

The services of Metropolitan Movers Winnipeg in advance. There are some months which are quite heavy; therefore you may be required to make advanced bookings prior to your moving date. This will allow you make adequate preparations awaiting your move out.
