Moving

Customer service excellent. Movers hard working and took time to pack every breakable and move things carefully. This is my 3rd time moving with this company. I would use them again 100 %.

Started of badly, went downhill fast

We had quotes from several companies for our move from Whitby to Kingston. Rockbrune were recommended to us so although they were not the cheapest we decided to book them. We had a sales person called "Wally" come to do a quote. He was shown the whole house and gave us a quote based on the whole house contents that were to be moved. We were told that the van and people would be there between 8 & 9 am, they would load on the Wednesday, and deliver on the Thursday. We were told they only use full time movers who would be highly skilled. Come day of the move, my wife and i were up bright and early, no sign of the van, by 10:00 we were getting concerned so called them, only to be told they had no record of our move, even though my wife had spoken to the sales person who quoted us and as far as we knew had paid a deposit. The lady on the phone told us they would get someone there as soon as possible. the van arrived at approx 12:15. This is when things went even further downhill, the team showed up, the driver was the most surly, ignorant person it has been my displeasure in working with EVER, he informed us that they had already done a 6 hour shift and he was not pleased to have to be doing our move, he complained about how much stuff we had, how some items were heavy, he spoke to the kids working with him like they were garbage and kept dropping the "F" bomb, and when i say kids, i mean kids, one said he was 15. The driver refused to move some items because he said they could be damaged in transit, even though the sales person had said they would be fine. If this wasn't bad enough, we then discovered the van they had sent was too small, i noticed that they had filled it and my basement was still full of boxes, plus they had not touched the exterior items they were to move. The ever pleasant driver took the first truck and went to go get another to complete the move. At one point during the move, we made a point of speaking to the driver who seemed to be in charge, and one of the other movers that we wanted one futon mattress left behind as we would be needing it to sleep on in our new house that night, i went to the bedroom to discover they had packed both of the futons, i looked into the van and saw one on top of a pile of stuff with 3 boxes in front of it, i asked the driver if we could get it back and he refused saying we were an hour too late, this left us with no option but to sleep on the floor of our new house as we have dogs and could not leave them behind or find an hotel that would take them at 11:00 pm when we finally arrived in Kingston. Delivery the next day was an even worse experience as they picked up kids to help them who were just plain not interested in doing the work, they were muscle pure and simple, no thought process, i asked them to stack boxes in the garage as we had 2 truck loads, as soon as i left to go empty the wardrobe boxes that they demanded were done as soon as possible the kids just dumped everything just randomly. there were 2 workbenches to go into the garage and i went out twice to make room for them, only to find they had filled the space. Boxes clearly marked bedroom 3 went into the garage, a router table which was marked garage/workshop ended up in the basement bedroom...etc....etc..... Final insult was we were charged more than the quote because they had to use more people than they had originally quoted, no idea why that was my problem as we showed them the the whole house before the move was booked.....sorry for the long read, but i have nothing nice to say about them

Good afternoon Garrie,

We're extremely sorry to hear that your move went this way and not as expected. We will be looking into this further as this is certainly not how we would like our customers to be treated.

Thank you for letting us know how everything went down on the day of your move.

Our sincere apologies

moving

The gentlemen performing the move were incredible. Hard working, quick and efficient. The only unpleasant process throughout the move was the communication from dispatch. The loading of the truck was scheduled for 830. We missed an email at 930 informing us the truck was running behind. We finally called, to be informed that the truck may not arrive until between 1130 and noon. Part of the objective of hiring movers was to ensure our timing of being out of our house to allow the new owners in at a reasonable time. With the crew not arriving until just before noon this was not possible. We were moving a four bedroom home. Having arrived behind schedule, part of the service of dismantling and reassembling beds covering floors etc. was not attended to. The following day the same crew arrived at our new house. Again they were incredible, quick and efficient, even on one of the hottest days so far this year.

Moving Company

Our move couldn't have gone any smoother. The Rockbrune Brothers team arrived ahead of schedule and ready to work. They guys were a pleasure to have around and obvious professionals. Right from the minute they showed up in a huge truck (our biggest concern was having a truck too small which happened with our previous moving company) until they left at the end of the day, they were organized and worked hard. They even had another team arrive in the afternoon to expedite the unloading. Bonus for a Friday! It wasn't until a few hours after all was said and done that we realized we had left something on the truck and called the office, which of course was closed for the day. An hour later the doorbell rings and Rob is at the door dropping it off. Rob & Freddie and the rest of the guys, you Rock! Will definitely recommend Rockbrune Brothers and use them again.

Moving

The guys showed up exactly on time and worked continuously til the truck was loaded and then again when we reached our new home.

They were friendly, respectful, and took good care of our belongings.

I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to book a good, honest company.

Rob and his crew did an awesome job.

Thanks
