I recently moved from an apartment into a house and used their services with great results. The…read moretruck was big enough to get everything in one load (3 bedroom apartment) and our two movers were very friendly, professional and easy to work with. This was the best experience I've ever had with a moving company so I figured I'd post about my experience. In the past I would "roll the dice" with mixed results. Not to worry with this company!

Shelley and the crew from Gentle Giant Movers did a phenomenal job on my daughter's local move in…read moreHalifax. Over the phone and by email, Shelley handled all of my long-distance requests (I was in the States and my daughter is in Halifax) with patience, and always in a timely manner. She accommodated our need for overnight storage, and worked with our timing to get out of one place and into another. The day of the move, which happened during the NS wildfires, the company's timing got a little derailed, through no fault of their own. When that impacted my daughter's move, they proactively waived some fees as compensation, and worked with her to make sure that they could still get the move done in time. Shelley sent over an extra mover, and when we suggested doing the move right into the new place, without the overnight hold (we were able to get her into the new place earlier than expected!), Shelley rolled with the punches, and pivoted to execute the move in one day. The extra mover (which we were not charged for) and the whole crew worked quickly but carefully, and got the move done in record time. Overall, it was tremendous value for what we got, and the move was done faster than we expected! Being far away was stressful for me, but Shelley made sure that everything ran smoothly and that my daughter was taken care of. I would highly recommend Gentle Giant for your local move. We can't thank Shelley and the crew enough for the care they took with our daughter's move!

I used this company to move from 2 bedroom flat in Halifax area. Their movers took whole day to…read morewrap the furniture and charged me per hour. They still not finished until 10pm at night and charged me $1500. The movers left half of my stuff in the apartment and it took me another 3 days to bring the rest in my small car. They also broke my furniture. When I complained to the manager he started blaming me for not making sure that workers were delaying the the whole process. Please do not use this company ever. They are not reliable and will not do a proper job.

I was in a pinch to move from one place to the other in time for my apartment inspection, and let…read moreme tell you the stress that was relieved by booking with Semgro Movers! The two gentlemen who came to help, Gurjant + Harshid were so kind and funny. They were careful with all my belongings and efficient in timing; I think they only took less than 2 hours between packing, driving and unpacking the truck to my new place! I was receiving ridiculous quotes from other companies for what I required (small space) but Semgro quoted me fairly, the value for the services was incredible. I could not recommend this company more and will recommend to anyone looking for movers.

So I've moved more than anyone I know.. and naturally I have plenty of experience with movers. I've…read moreused moving services approximately 20+ times, so I feel I'm uniquely qualified to write this review. First thing that comes to mind is that they were ON TIME. This is the first time in my many years of moving about the world that movers have actually been punctual. This is a highly professional team of guys that are friendly but no nonsense. They work together very well as a team and work very efficiently. I've had so many awful experiences with movers in the past that working with ACM was just like a breath of fresh air. Prices are very good, and the team is very accommodating regarding personal preferences (my move was a bit more complicated than the usual because different stuff had to go to different places). I could go on, but I think you get my point. These are some of the best movers out there and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to engage their services in the future.

Jeff was very quick to respond via email and gave a very good price to move the appliances and even followed up with me to adjust their schedule to a day to fit my move window and meet my budget. My appliances were wrapped up in heavy moving blankets and secured in their truck. They even rolled out the red carpet (literally) to ensure that my new floors and hardwood stairs would not be damaged while moving the appliances to their locations on different floors. They were friendly and polite. In short, I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with them.

I moved from a house to an apartment on 2 October 2019. After checking the reviews of several…read moremoving companies I decided on JDP Movers & Packers. WOW! Did I make the RIGHT choice!! The guys arrived on the dot and in no time the house was empty and the truck full. I was nervous about some of my treasures, particularly old dishes from various family members that go back 150+ years. I needn't have worried. Everything arrived in perfect condition, unlike my last move where a whole set of irreplaceable dishes was broken. Jeff and his crew were courteous and, while I was upset that the property managers had not placed the elevator on service, Jeff and the guys were unfazed and said that since there was only one flight of stairs to deal with it was actually easier and quicker for them to use the stairs! I was thunderstruck! Imagine, up and down the stairs dozens of times on a very hot day! I strongly recommend the fast, efficient, courteous and very reasonably priced service of JPD Movers & Packing. In all my years of moving I have never received such excellent service. Linda Schnare 1/11/2019

Approximately 2 pm, the Mackie's truck went past slowing down at our mailbox with our address on it, turned around at the end of the road & proceeded to drive past our house in the opposite direction. Then no sign of them. Called the office & was told they couldn't find our house, horse puckies, & were now in Bedford! Would have to reschedule...oh no, we had prepped the house for an easy delivery, doors removed, drop cloths, old stove disconnected. The person on the phone said she would call them to return to our house. Am I boiling mad!!! You bloody well can bet on it. Next I am getting on to GE as to why they would hire such morons.

I received a phone call from Lenard the day before where he explained the process of the move to me and how the day would play out. As explained by Lenard the removal guys arrive into work at 8am where they clean their truck and prepare for their days work. Lenard told me to expect them between 9-9.30am but to allow 15 minutes incase of bridge traffic. At 10am I called the number he had given me to reach an answer machine, I then called the office asked to speak to Lenard and was referred to another answer machine. At 10.30am I received a phone call from Jennifer informing me the removal guys would arrive between 12-1pm. Big difference in the time which subsequently meant I had to lose a days work. When the removal guys arrived they had none of the right packing equipment and their truck was more than half full meaning they did not have room for our stuff. The two guys spent thirty minutes trying to contact the office whereby then they asked us to ring so this issue could be resolved. Between myself and my husband we were reffered from one person to another with nothing been resolved. Finally we were put intouch with Lenard who basically took no responsibilty, he tried to shift blame to others and never once apologized or even acknowledged the wrong information he had given me or the fact two removal guys showed up to my home four hours late, with a half full truck and incorrect packing materials.. Lenard was extremly unprofessional and to be frank he does not care about you or your move. If you want a stress free, worry free, friendly and professional moving comapny I would AVOID having any dealings with Mackie.
