I'm Alex. I've been a working mover in Toronto for ten years. I've packed glassware in every kind of apartment, carried pianos up walk-ups, and watched a lot of moving companies up close — the great ones and the ones I'd never let near my own stuff.
In 2023 I started writing it all down. The blog is what I wish someone had told me on day one. It's free, independent, and there's no popup asking for your email until the bottom of the page.
Companies I review do not pay to appear. I do not take affiliate commissions on movers. The reading list is the product.
Every company in the rankings was contacted by me, posing as a regular customer with a regular move. No press kits, no pre-arranged crews.
When I get something wrong — and I have — I update the post in public, with a date stamp and a note about what I missed.
Hired as a junior on an old 16-footer. Learned the lift, learned the language.
Toronto to Halifax. Three days, two crews, one piano. I never looked at a moving quote the same way.
Counted them on a spreadsheet. Started keeping notes — that's where the blog came from.
Friends kept asking the same questions. So I started answering them in public, on this site.
Whether you're a reader with a moving question, a journalist writing a piece, or another mover who wants to compare notes — write to me.
