I just wanted to send a thanks for a very smooth move this morning. The three guys; Rod, Grant and Dave were great. They took good care with my mum's belongings and were very patient as we readjusted furniture and rooms where things should go etc. etc. on this end. They were all done in 3 1/2 hours. Thanks for your assistance , Cindy

I booked with Francis from a friends recommendation. She had used them for several moves. I was equally happy. They came on time. They were professional, fast and efficient. Moving is never fun, but if I have to move again I would not hesitate to use them again

I used Francis movers several years ago, based on a recommendation. I remember being very happy with both the price quoted and the service. I am now a realtor and recommend them regularly. I follow up with my clients who use them and they have all been very happy with their moves. I Will continue to recommend them based on all the positive feedback I have received.

I booked moving from Francis movers because i saw one of their fliers in my mail box. But I was still apprehensive about trusting movers as I heard many horror stories on the news. Over the phone Francis Told me that the move would take seven hours with his three men, but it actually only took 6.5 hours. Danny, the driver, and his crew were very gentle and efficient with my belongings. They were very pleasant and knowledgeable about moving, they knew how to perform their jobs well. From knowing tricks on how to keep doors open, to using the dolly with my piano, through and through, the team showed professionalism and tact. I would definitely recommend this team from Francis Movers to move anyone who is not sure if they can trust movers.

I got Francis's contact from a family member who was very satisfied with their services a couple years ago when I moved. I was so happy with their service that I've since recommended them to several other people. Always professional and careful with the move.

I have used Francis Movers multiple times over the past few years. They are always the best price, good movers that work hard, always on time. They never nickel and dime with extra charges. I am a real estate agent and also refer them all the time to my clients.

Used them when moved to our new house. The movers worked hard but unfortunately scratched and broke a few items. I am not sure that we will use them again

I have used the services of Francis Movers several times over the course of the past 15 years and found them to be incredibly affordable, reliable and contentious. I have recommended them to friends, co-workers and extended family because they have always sent individuals who took care with my belongings and were fast at their job. They have never let me down always showing up on time and completing the move in the time frame expected. Knowing I can always count on Francis Movers takes a lot of the stress out of moving day. Our last move was out of the city but I know I will call them again because I can count on the level of service I will receive. Bales Family - New Tecumseth

I was referred to Francis by a cousin who reported a great experience with the company. We used the packing service (3 women @ $105 per hour) the day prior to the big move and were very impressed. They took pride in their work and worked efficiently, treating the household goods as they would their own. Different story for the movers though, unfortunately... Our move was scheduled to start on 9am. At 945 AM my wife and I became concerned and called the company, only to be told that the movers were on route. At 10:00, still no movers, so we called again, and we were told that the movers got lost. Finally, after providing the driver with directions, the movers arrived at 10:15 AM. When confronted about this later, Mr. Francis made excuse after excuse for inexcusible behaviour and unprofessionalism. He told me that our house is in a new subdivision (it's 3 years old on an assumed street) and that the old Perly's map that the driver was using didn't have our address listed. I would have expected a phone call from the company before 9 AM if directions were needed. Moreover, the route to my house should have been well mapped out ahead of time, given our move was booked 1.5 months in advance. The movers started out moving our belongings rather efficiently, especially since all items were professionally packed and I had pre-disassembled the office unit and bedframes. However, 2 hours into the job things slowed down tremendously. Only 1 of the 3 movers was seen doing any work. If you don't mind paying your movers for smoke breaks every half hour, this might be the company for you. On top of this all, the movers ran out of packing tape (to wrap blankets over some of the larger items like couch and console table), and ran out of plastic wrap. In my estimation, the move could have been completed at least 1.5 hrs earlier than it actually took. If you look under the negative reviews in this section at the "company's" response, you'll start to get a pretty good sense that Mr. Francis will never take any accountability and is a man who will perpetually make excuses to avoid responsibility. Mr. Francis will probably write a story about how it takes longer to wrap the furniture carefully and blanket the larger items for protection, but this isn't the point. I appreciated the care the movers took with my belongings, and I'm fairly certain all of my belongings made it into storage in one piece, but wasted time on my dollar is unacceptable. Mr. Francis, notorious for his excuses, told me that I was rather lucky that the movers came at all for my move, as it was hot outside, and curiously, if I had lived in Europe the movers would have refused to work on a day like the one we had (it was average summer Toronto weather at approx 28 degrees celcius, and the AC was running the whole time inside). I expect workers to take breaks when needed....WHEN THEY ARE WORKING. But again, it was only one guy doing, one guy smoking, and the other "packing" the truck most of the time. When I asked for Mr. Francis to take an hour off of my bill, he flat out refused and had no appology for the fact that the movers ran out of tape and simply waited for me to go to the dollar store to pick up some more packing tape before they recommenced any "work". However, once at the storage unit, he finally agreed to comp us the rental of the 10 blankets used to cover our furniture (at $5 a piece/month).
