    I was moving to a new home and while I had help, I knew we weren't equipped to move my heavy…read moreappliances. 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

    After moving 4 times in the last year, I decided to hire a moving company for the sake of both my…read moresanity and my back. As I'd never hired a moving company before, I was totally paranoid that they'd be a) lazy and soaking up the hourly rate, and b) careless and break all my stuff. Needless to say I was very, very happy when Able turned out to be neither of the above. On the contrary, they were courteous, professional, careful, and very cost effective. None of my stuff was broken, it all ended up where I wanted, and the two guys that did the move were nice and straightforward. I really appreciated that they asked me if it was ok if they got a coffee on the drive over to my new place - while of course it was ok, I thought it was courteous of them to acknowledge that they're on my dime until the move was over. If I was moving from the HRM to another city, I'd probably move myself because it would be quite a lot of money due to longer travel times, but for moving within the HRM I would most definitely use Able movers again.

Both apartments were in Larry Uteck area and the house is in Middle Sackville. Movers showed up on time (even called a few minutes ahead to say they were on the way). They worked fast, were careful, professional, and great guys! I would highly recommend. The whole thing took about 6 hours. Great job. Reasonable price.

    Absolutely terrible service. Our delivery was supposed to arrive between 1:30 and 4:30, but did not…read morearrive until after 5:00pm with zero explanation as to why they were late. It was pouring rain, they did not use booties or lay down mats so my floors were a mess when they left and had to be cleaned. They had no regard for my doorways or floors and damaged both but because I signed a paper when they left, they will not pay for repairs. They also damaged my appliance. They didn't have proper tools or equipment and asked to borrow several of mine. There were screws, plastic, styrofoam and other broken bits and pieces left though my house, out my door, in my driveway, and in front of my house on the street. Do not use this company!

    This is a copy and paste of a review I did for google. I would stay very clear of this moving…read morecompany. Here is my review minus the pictures. There were warning signs from the start. The mover used the lift gate, which is for heavy objects, instead of the ramp. This is inefficient and lazy to be honest. They also mixed up our stuff with another couple who, as luck would have it, were moving to the same building as us. I was able to run their stuff to their apartment after the move. I also felt compelled to ask if they needed help lifting larger objects. The movers looked like they were struggling and might drop something. (Note, I am almost 60 years old and I had moved all the items myself with the help of my family to the storage locker). My fears came true and one of the movers did drop 3 large boxes. Our apartment is in a building with a driveway that slopes upward at a fairly steep angle and angles down once past the entrance. The driver parked on the brow of the hill, the top part if you like. I drove truck for years, and anyone who does, knows that you park at the base of the hill. This shortens the distance you have to lift something. Again it comes down to unprofessionalism and laziness. I just wanted the move to be over and said nothing. We were almost finished when one of the movers dropped three large boxes. They had been stacked on top of a double file cabinet which meant that the boxes dropped from a height of 3 - 4 feet. One contained our dishes, another contained a pinwheel crystal bowl and other pieces. The reason it was dropped was because of the position of the truck. The movers were again using the lift gate instead of the ramp. When the lift platform touched the ground, the back part of the platform stopped and the front part continued down because of the slope. This caused the load to lunge forward and the mover lost control. I was in the lobby with two of the movers and we all witnessed it. They took the boxes upstairs and went through them in the presence of my wife. They assured my wife that the company would pay for the damages. This did not happen. The last communication I heard was "you packed it, you pay for it." As bad as this sounds there is still more. Somewhere during our move I misplaced some valuables. LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR, I AM NOT ACCUSING ANYONE OF ANY WRONGDOING. In the process of trying to track down my valuables I got to review the security footage of our move. It made me realize just how unprofessional was this company . Firstly, they did not use the ramp which is inefficient and lazy. My son and I were helping and many times we put something on the truck, return to the locker and was back at the truck before the next mover returned. I also witnessed the largest mover bring only an end table that my youngest grandchild could carry. (picture attached) They also often took things off the truck after it had already been loaded. The employee who worked at the storage place commented on what we saw. To paraphrase, they said that they had been working in the storage industry for a long time and our movers were the worst they had ever seen. I agree! They need to find a new occupation and leave the moving of people's precious things to the professionals.

    Everyone knows it: Moving is the worst. But after seeing Mel H.'s review of Frogbox Halifax, I…read moredecided to try and eliminate a step from the frustrating process and give this service a try. For around $85 including tax, I got 25 large green bins, two tall cardboard wardrobes and a dolly. It. Was. Amazing. The wardrobes meant that I took my clothes out of the closet and hung them in a protected box, and then put them in their new closet. So easy! And the boxes fit tons of stuff. It was such a relief to not have to go out searching for clean, large cardboard boxes and then spend time putting them together and disposing of them. Plus, Frogboxes are reusable and thus better for the planet! On top of the convenience, the service was fantastic. Both my fiancee and I had ordered boxes, and when we unpacked them a couple days early we gave Frogbox a call and they were happy to swing by to pick them up. That was a major, major help in getting our new apartment to feel like home as quickly as possible.

    Moving sucks. There's no nice way of putting it. For me, one of the things I especially hate about…read moremoving is scouring the city looking for boxes. While the NSLC can often hook you up, the boxes are small and it's such a pain in the ass to take time out of your day to go on the hunt. Enter Frogbox. They will drop off and pick-up these big beautiful green plastic boxes. They're stackable, sturdy and for the tree-hugger in me, I dig that they're reusable. They also sell packaging material that is recyclable as well. Which, if you've moved with your stuff packed up in newspaper before, and then had to clean everything after moving, their packing paper is like a special miracle. I would not hesitate to go with these guys again the next time I move, although I hope it's not for a very long time....

    After moving ourselves from one two-bedroom apartment and a storage locker into a brand new place…read morefour stories up (without an elevator, of course), we officially decided that we would never be so foolish ever again. In the delirium of lugging couches up stairs, it became very clear that money spent on movers would be worth it if for no other reason than neither of us would be charged with the murder of the other. When we moved from this heinous apartment into our new house, we were blown away by the service of the three person team who came to help even after being told of the no elevator situation. That alone made them pretty much saints in my book. What would have taken us three weeks and multiple hard prescriptions took these guys a mere three hours including a stop at a separate location to pick up appliances. We're talking out of the apartment and into the house in a single morning. And did I mention that we didn't have to lift a finger? I won't spend too much time talking about just how affordable they are in case they finally realized how much more they could be charging for their expertise, but I will say that given their work for us the last time, they'll be first on our list for our next move.

    Marriott's moving DO NOT hire cost you in damage and price!…read moreMarriott's moving, Forget them !!!! Bad idea ! we thought they could be helpful, but they take advantage of us, Quoting us a price cost on two or three different times, then changing the price when they are moving you in progress. They seem to not even do none of their research regarding cost of travel or cost of gas on line even after you tell them all the Information of were you are moving from and too. And they still change the price! They did this to us 4 times already in the same manor. NO more we will have them back. And they even broke some of our good items, and they are not covered. The items they broke cost much allot to use. we have network support this information for you and to you to make your own call when it comes to them, others who need a trusting True support that why we did this for you. when it comes to your moving needs and not to have to worry about items being damage, sometimes going cheaper is not always the best way to go, they take no care in your items that are value to you. 1) Time management on time GOOD in the time they say 2) Moving with out damaging your items. BAD broken just a few of our costly items. 3) Giving you a cost in moving cost. They give you 2 different stories of cost before and in the middle of your move. 4)Phone Truly bad lack of answering your questions careless and on truthful. 5)Reliable: NO
