This moving company is basically a scam. They don’t even have their own trucks, their own team, or really a proper company. Once they get your order, they just pass it off to someone else. The people... See more

I recently used them and I must say I was very satisfied with their services. They are very professional and organized. The price they quote to you is exactly what you get. The team who handled my move were excellent. They were courteous and made sure all went well with my move. If you’re looking for a good moving company, this is the excellent one.

They were professional and showed up early. Took care of the whole parking permit situation ahead of time and that alone was worth the cost. Despite them moving me out of a 5th floor walkup with a tiny staircase they were efficient and friendly the whole time. Guys were friendly, smart and most importantly honest. I would definitely use them again if I ever needed a mover.

Outstanding experience

We have used Metropolitan movers twice in a year. It was a no brainer to call them again for our second move. They helped to set us up both times and is efficient and professional. He set us up with all of the bins and boxes each time and was helpful in setting up the number of boxes and containers. They were efficient but careful. The team was very detail oriented in both the move out and move in process.

Do not hire Metropolitan Movers

Just like you, I read about Metropolitan Movers right after I had booked them on March 22nd for an April 1st move. I though the negative reviews here were just exaggerations but I can now confidently advice you to stay away from this company and hire any other movers in Toronto, even if they are more expensive. Here is my story which explains why.

March 22nd
- I submit a request for quote to MM (Metropolitan Movers) and get a call back to discuss pricing. Pricing is very attractive so I tell them I will confirm within the next few days

March 23rd
- After receiving quotes from other movers I call back on March 23 to confirm my order. My order gets scheduled for April 1st at 9AM.

March 29th (If I remember correctly)
- I call MM to once again confirm my move date for April 1st at 9AM.

April 1st
- 9AM: Truck is nowhere to be seen. I call MM and I am not able to get a hold of someone until 9:15AM after calling several times. At this point I am told for the first time since I originally contacted them that the truck has a 1hr window to show up, so it might be until 10AM before they show up. This would have been nice to know beforehand. I decide to wait, with all my things packed up. I am in a rush since the new tenants are moving later on the same day.

-10AM: Truck is still not at my apartment so I call MM. They tell me they don't know anything about the truck and will call them to then call me and tell me what's going on. They call me back 10 mins after to tell me the truck broke down. WHY DO I HAVE TO CALL THEM TO GET THIS INFORMATION? WHY DON'T THEY CALL ME TO UPDATE ME ON THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

They tell me they can get another truck... between 1PM to 3PM. That's a 4 hour delay minimum. I ask if I would get a discount for the inconvenience and they said that THE MAX DISCOUNT THEY CAN GIVE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IS 5%. This is such a spit in the face to their customers. They can put you through all amounts of stress, fail to update you, delay your trip and still only give you a 5% discount (Which they WILL NOT offer to you, I had to ask for it).

A this point I go online and start calling other moving companies. I luckily managed to find a company who was willing to do the move for me last minute (In & Out Movers, AMAZING GUYS, totally saved my life that day). I load up my truck and off I go to my new apartment.

1PM: After all the delays caused by MM, I am finally on my way to my new apartment and get a call from another moving company saying that they got a call from MM asking them if they could do my move. THIS MEANS MM WAS STILL NOT WILLING TO DO MY MOVE AND WAS SHOPPING IT AROUND TO OTHER MOVING COMPANIES. This goes to show how little they care about their customers when after everything that happened they were still NOT WILLING to do my move themselves. Absolute disrespect and lack of business ethics.

I explain this to the moving company that's calling me and they actually sided with me and told me to go online and write about my negative experience with MM.

Please save yourself the stress and do not hire MM. They might not even show up.

I am shocked at how business practices like this are legal in Toronto.

Outstanding experience

Moving is stressful at the best time and therefore anything that can be done to ease the burden of moving is beneficial. Metropolitan movers allowed me to quickly compare the cost of different removal companies by entering only a few simple details. This allowed me to ensure that I got a good deal without having to spend valuable time ringing different companies for their quotes.
I would definitely use this service again

Excellent Service

Metropolitan movers is a fantastic service for anyone who is considering to move.
It is a quick and easy process to fill out the form and get quotes from up to 6 companies.This saves you the time and effort of contacting all the companies individually and when you're going through the enormously stressful process of moving to another location.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Metropolitan movers again since they took a massive amount of the workload off my shoulders and provided me with a comprehensive choice of companies to suit my needs.

Great Experience!

I used Metropolitan for the first time yesterday and I could not be happier with my overall experience.Team were absolutely amazing and I will definitely be using this company again for any future moves I may have. I especially appreciated tram for taking the time to talk everything through with us before, after, and during the move to make us feel completely comfortable with the whole thing. He and his team were very respectful of us and our possessions. I was so amazed with how stress-free this was from start to finish.

A fantastic and time saving service

I found the service met my expectations and I received two quotes within days of making contact. Unfortunately I never heard from the third company. I would have no hesitation in recommending this service to anyone wanting to find a good reputable moving company.

Outstanding Customer Service

I was communicated to throughout the whole move. These guys worked so hard in the heat and humidity and they all had smiles on their face the entire time. They did exactly what i needed done and these items where very heavy and awkward to move. They made it look easy. I've used Metropolitan Movers 3 times now and have always been extremely satisfied. I will continue to use this Company for any future moves and or recommendations
I will highly recommend their services

Good Moving Company!

They were able to complete the move in less than projected time due to their level of efficiency. They were super-careful with all of my fragile items and when wrapping / packing any items. However they broke one item mistakenly. Anyways, they have very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend and will use again!

These guys gave a great dealing were very careful with all my staff; I was a bit stressed about the whole moving thing, and they made it all cool and easy. These movers know what they're doing, so thank you guys! They worked really quick- They really know what they're doing. I would definitely recommend the guys and the company for any move.

Brilliant Job done

Downsizing from a 1700 sq.ft. home after 14 years of accumulated stuff. Lots of furniture and books, heavy items like treadmill and Bowflex machine. They were champions at figuring how to fit large items down smaller staircase with a turn at the bottom. Nothing got broken! i totally recommend.

Do not call

We booked Metropolitan 5 weeks in advance of our move. Got a confirmation email and were ready to go. 38 hours before they are due to arrive, and at 7:15pm they phone and tell us they can't do it. Made no effort to find another mover, just backed out. That left us scrambling, but fortunately found another mover. I hope these guys get what they deserve.

well done

Metropolitan Movers crew did an outstanding job on our recent move. We loved the fact that they are the same crew who packed all our household goods and delivered them. They were all professional and our move in and out process was very smooth. They took great care in making sure all our goods were delivered in good condition though they came 5 minutes late to the appointed but am happy not one single item was damaged or missing. i will surely recommend
