We were delighted with all aspects of Scott's Moving. They arrived on time and the 4 movers were amazingly quick and efficient, all the time remaining respectful and friendly. We were moving from Toronto to Stratford, and Ian suggested a pick-up of our furniture one day, and delivery in our Stratford place the next day. That was an excellent suggestion and made things more convenient for us. When we hit a glitch (self-imposed), Ian suggested an effective resolution. Definitely would recommend Scott's!

Can't recommend these movers highly enough. From start to finish, everything went off without any issues. The 3 young men who completed my move from Toronto to Stratford were efficient, polite and went the extra mile to make sure that this move happened. And the fact the one of the young men was able to un-assemble then reassemble my sofa bed in my new place rates high in my opinion. If you are looking for a good reliable moving company, this is the one.

Called them with over a months notice to check availability for a move. I was told my desired date was available, and could wait up to 3 weeks to call back to confirm. Called back a few days later and they taken another job over those dates. So I tried to set up for a date close to that and the man on the phone told me Ian had to call me back to set it up, because he was in charge of that. So I gave my phone number and several dates that could work, and no one ever called back. Nice business ethics! Never will I try to use or recommend this company again.
