    Thanks Brian, Tito, Youssef. These guys were great, quick and easy move, really good price too.

  • The movers were amazing. So fast, respectful and friendly. While I didn't have a ton of stuff I had a ton of stairs and they completed my entire move in 90minutes! Very impressed and will definitely book with then again

  • I strongly recommend El Cheapo. We had a very positive experience working with them, they are easy too book, no hidden fees, very responsive and kind. The crew who came to do the move was awesome. Our move was not easy, our townhouse has 4 floors. But they managed to do it fast and with a great attitude. They are fast, effective and cordial. 5 stars.

    🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖. We used EC first time in 2010. Had a great experience. So when we moved again this spring we called them back. They still had our old record & inventory from 12 years ago! Setup easy & professional. Moving day was perfect - the crew was friendly, courteous, efficient, and nothing was damaged. I would use them again in a heartbeat. FIVE STARS.

    The movers showed up early and got right into moving us, they wasted no time. They moved our 2 bedroom apartment in 2 1/2 hours. Super impressive. Our movers were Isaiah, Omar and one of their brothers. Super nice, professional and fast. I would highly recommend them and this moving company. Fantastic experience!!

    El Cheapo was recommended by a friend and I couldn't have asked for a better moving experience. Everything was carefully wrapped and loaded before we knew it. The team was friendly, helpful and thorough. Thank you!

  • I had a great experience! My brother recommended their service and I was not disappointed at all. I had a lot of stuff to move and I had two very helpful movers [Ben and Leo] who were so kind, efficient and organized with everything. Would use this service again, highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars for our experience today, I would. Our movers, Logan, Solomon, and Dwayne, were so friendly... and professional, and incredibly fast and efficient.I’ve never had such great movers in all my many moves. They navigated a difficult move in -30 degree weather, and had a smile on their faces as they did it. They creatively solved some issues that I thought would mean us having to break something to make it fit through, but they went above and beyond to figure it out.I’ve had other great moves with El Cheapo, but today was by far the best. I would book El Cheapo again in a second, and would recommend them just as quickly. They made a stressful situation totally stress free. Thanks guys!read more

I have used El Cheapo Movers to move multiple times. I used them for just one couch because I didn't feel like taking... it up the stairs, and the movers were pros about the narrow staircase. It definitely is something I wanted to leave to the professionals!I have also booked a move with them for my one bedroom condo. The building management is strict about elevator timings, and El Cheapo came within the time they promised. It went smoothly and I was glad.I had envisioned so many possible things that could go wrong because I find moving to be incredibly stressful. I have met different movers working there, but all of them have been relaxed and friendly which eased my mind.If I have to move again, which I hope that I don't anytime soon! I will definitely be booking El Cheapo. They are the best movers in Toronto!read more

Knew I was taking a chance with them since I’ve heard horror stories, but did it anyways. Let’s just say, lesson... learned. They were so rude, careless, and unprofessional. It was such an incredibly disappointing experience during an already stressful time, a move. Completely not worth it. The main guy was one of the most unpleasant people I’ve had to interact with and wasn’t willing to provide any level of customer service whatsoever. The careless ways these guys were taking my boxes, resulted in the breakage of a few items (items were packed appropriately). If you do choose to go with El Cheapo do make sure the list of items you give them is EXACTLY on point, not a box under, or they literally will refuse to take an extra box or two (even if you offer to carry it to their truck yourself!!!). Also make sure that there is not even one single loose item hanging out in any of your drawers or they will also refuse (rudely) to take the item. Not only that, they leaked oil from the truck all over my driveway and the cost was also twice as much as quoted. My father even had to offer them extra CASH on the side just so they would take the extra COUPLE of boxes. A major RIP OFF if I’ve ever seen one.read more

I've been toying with writing this review for a while now. In doing so I am foregoing my claim settlement with El... Cheapo for damage done to my furniture in the move. I believe the reviews of this company are artificially inflated due to their absolutely unreasonable release policy. If El Cheapo damages something in your move, and you wish to be compensated for it, you must sign off on a disclosure indicating you will not publicly denounce the company before they release the funds [photo attached]. El Cheapo holds customers hostage with this policy and most definitely impacts the number of negative reviews that appear for their company.The good: the movers were very friendly, the move was affordableThe bad: basically everything else. Walls scuffed, ceilings damaged, furniture broken. Had it not been for their predatory release policy I probably would have given a 3 star review. Overall the move was OK but I'm sure a lot of negative experiences are not being reflected publicly.read more

Full disclosure: our daughter works for the company.That said, if you knew us you would know that does not matter... because we do not play when it comes to our money. Using this company was money well spent and we would readily use them again and/or recommend them to friends and family. They were punctual, courteous and VERY careful with the set of antiques/family treasure we asked them to move. Everything was wrapped up for safety and was carried out, transported and place in the new location without incident.A special shout out to our movers, Dwayne and Logan, who are a credit and shining example on how to "git er dun". And to our daughter Ti-Ana who made sure her parents' anxieties never manifested because everything was in excellent hands. Kudos all around.read more

Honestly, if I could give 10 stars I would. Easily the best movers in Toronto, and it's not even comparable. Friendly... people that show up and make what you think will be a stress filled day, into a piece of cake. Worth every single penny you spend. Don't bother calling anyone else.read more

This was our second time using El Cheapo, and let me tell you we were not disappointed! Each time we’ve used them... they’ve been efficient, kind, polite, and caring about our stuff; it was as if they were moving their own stuff into their new apartment! This time around we had Logan and D’Wayne. Those guys are simply awesome! They went above and beyond; taking apart furniture that didn’t quite fit down the stairs, and placing everything where we needed it in the new place. These guys deserve a raise! They are simply unreal at their jobs. Not only that, they were super friendly throughout the entire process. Just a perfect experience!read more

My daughter bought some furniture on FB marketplace and we hired El Cheapo to help move it. They arrived within the... agreed upon time, and were friendly and efficient. I didn't have the proper tools to assemble the bed, and they would have helped but also didn't have the tools; however, they actually laid it out and gave me very clear instructions.A few small parts did not arrive with the shipment, and I didn't discover this 'til after they had gone. This is where they really shone: Khyber in the office got his crew to check the truck twice when it returned, they found the missing parts, and dropped them off the next day.All in all, they were great and I would recommend them.read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND....My husband and I had a horrible experience with this company! First let me tell you they are not... cheap and I only had about 5 large items since I moved from a bachelor to a new place. I used them for less than 2 hours and the cost was close to $1000.00. Not to mention the fact that they damaged 70% of my furniture. I did not opt for the insurance because I didn't think a company could damage so much furniture in one trip. They refused to even pay me a penny. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I suggest a more professional company!! Stay Away!!read more

I didn’t expect to have such fun with movers! Would definitely use El Cheapo if we move again.read more

I used this company twice before(last time was 2015) and was very pleased with their service. However third time is... definitely not the charm. They put the wrong date on the contract (a day earlier than scheduled) and admittedly, I did not notice so they came Saturday instead of Sunday. I provided a list of all the items to be moved and the truck they sent was too small and as a result they had to leave items behind. I was told they could make a second trip (from Toronto to Kitchener) but I would have to pay for it. Why would I pay for a second trip because they sent a truck that was too small? As a result, I had to rent a cargo van the next day in Kitchener, drive with my son back to Toronto to load the remaining items, and bring them back. As I lived on the top floor of a 3-storey walk up, doing this was extremely hard on me (at age 64). It was at least 20 trips up and down 3 flights of stairs and then 4 trips up the service elevator at my new place. It was a dreadful day but there was one silver lining... because they messed up the move date and moved me a day early, I still had access to retrieve my items the next day. To add insult to injury, I wrote to the company to bring these issues to their attention and tell them how disappointed I was but they did not respond. Not even an apology. Had they apologized or reached out in some way, I wouldn't be writing this. Between their office errors and dismissive attitude, I will not use this company again.read more

We hired El cheapo for the first time and they were outstanding. They were so efficient in their process from the... online request that Khyber took to a confirmation call to assess our contents. They were so detailed and thought of things that didn't cross my mind, which gave me piece of mind from the get go. On moving day Logan, Isaiah and Eric were outstanding. They were efficient, so fast and respectful of our items. Had lots of communication. Had our moved completed in 2.5 hours which I didn't think was possible. After the move we did notice some damage on our sofa so I reached out to Abbey and she was amazing asked me for a pic and got more details about the sofa and took complete ownership and treated me like gold, the problem was resolved in 2 days. the delay being in my response to emails. Thank you El Cheapo and I will be recommending you to anyone that will hear me and will use you moving forward.Prabhjot & Chrisread more

Super pleased with this company. Was moving a lot of art supplies from my studio to my home (thank you, Covid) and it... was a crazy assortment of bins, crates and boxes. The move was as smooth as could be - Leighton and Suhaib called ahead, showed up on time, and loaded up the truck swiftly and efficiently. The unloading went even faster. These guys worked fast and were considerate and pleasant. How happy was I? I tipped them each $50 for their great work. I recommend El Cheapo without hesitation.read more

I'd used El Cheapo before and had been very happy with it. Not the case this time. While the crew was on time and fast,... they were reckless and didn't seem to really know how to move items safely. My coffee table was badly damaged because it was loose in the truck. Zero protection on it. My dresser was damaged as well. In fact, it was the first item in my new home and the mover drove it straight into a wall right away. Not a tight space, he just didn't know how to properly use a dolly. They moved a white couch and put absolutely nothing on it to protect it while putting other items on top of it. This was all so easily avoidable with proper protection. I won't use them ever again.read more

El Cheapo took my belongings to the dump without my consent. We signed a contract for our belongings to be moved from... our home to a storage unit. Once the storage unit was emptied at a later date, we noticed that a huge antique floor lamp was missing. We called El Cheapo to inquire about its whereabouts and they claimed that we told them they could throw it away because the base was wobbly. The base was not wobbly. It was a solid brass lamp. It was a family heirloom, no one would have told them to throw it out. So just like that, El Cheapo turned into a junk removal company against their contract and takes it upon themselves to decide what is garbage. Do not trust this company. They then tried to pay me off in exchange for my silence. Very unethical!read more

Move it!We moved in April 2020 - in the peak of covid uncertainty. Looked at couple of options and found el cheapo... from a blogTO post. Their most inviting feature was that they charged per 15min (rather than hourly charges as most movers do). They had some other costs like pick up, drop, fuel in addition to their hourly charges, but it seemed to be reasonable. It's also cheaper to move in the first half of the month.They have a website form where you can update all the items that need to be moved. Their customer service was friendly and was able to answer all my queries.On the day of the move, we had two staff - they were friendly and did a good job.Overall Verdict:No complaint on their service. No hidden charges. Go for it!read more

This is the second time I've used el cheapo, and they've always been fantastic. They're speedy and strategic while... still careful. While all three movers we had were great, Dwayne deserves a special shout out. He was incredibly professional, driving the pace of the crew while being intentionally delicate with our belongings. The movers spent barely any time in our apartment and, apart from our small, slow elevator, the movers were unbelievably quick. They moved an entire 1 bedroom apartment across Toronto in just over two hours, and we're good humored and fun to deal with throughout.read more

They were extremely professional, efficient and courteous; they did an outstanding job!Throughout the entire process... (from calling for a quote, to booking, to the follow up calls and the actual move) every person I spoke to was so helpful and put me at complete ease.I moved from Etobicoke to downtown Toronto and the entire move (from the moment they arrived to the last item being unloaded at our new place) took a total of 2.25 hours.The price was VERY reasonable. Other companies quoted me at $2,200 and my cost with El Cheapo came in at a FRACTION of that. My original booking was for 2 movers, and 3 showed up (at no extra cost) which really helped move things along. They were super contentiousness about the time, which I really appreciated (since the rate is based on time spent).I HIGHLY recommend El Cheapo Movers!read more

Booked a move and confirmed over the phone. On the day of the move I called to make sure they were on the way. I was... told my reservation wasn't confirmed because I didn't give them a list of items I was moving... You are movers, you move household items for a living. Does it really matter what I am moving? You knew it was a in town move from a three bedroom townhouse. I booked 3 men and a truck. I had to scramble last minute and ended up doing it myself with a rental. Unacceptable! I would not recommend using them.read more

We hired El Cheapo for our recent move of a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom apartment. They were quick to respond and... consistently friendly in our email contact, and helped us plan for the moving day very efficiently. On moving day, the team of three was hard-working, friendly and professional. The building management at our new apartment threw us some curveballs (moving truck was suddenly not allowed to park in the normal spot) but the El Cheapo team rolled with the punches. They disassembled and reassembled our bed for us as well when it gave us some trouble. The pricing was transparent so there were no surprises for us. I would definitely recommend El Cheapo!read more

I booked El Cheapo’s moving services for the morning of May 31st. The three movers who were assigned to my account were... all friendly, funny, and professional. The whole team was eager to be effective and make the entire move as efficient as possible. The move was led by David and he did an amazing job keeping the team focused on getting the job done quickly and keeping everything being moved protected. The whole team was fantastic, and I feel very lucky to have had these 3 people assigned to my account! Given my experience, El Cheapo is the PERFECT moving service for the city of Toronto. Their professional employees focus on getting the job done quickly/effectively and because of this the cost of my move was SIGNIFICANTLY less than I originally expected. Another great feature is if you pay your moving fee via e-Transfer, El Cheapo will apply a discount to your fee! I could not be happier with El Cheapo’s services!El Cheapo is the best value for moving services in Toronto and I cannot recommend it more. Thanks El Cheapo!read more

My roommate and I hired El Cheapo Movers to move us from a third floor walk up to a condo building. The reason we... hired movers was because, we were not capable of lifting and hoisting our couch over the balcony- which is the only way to to move it in and out. I clearly communicated this to the company when booking. I was informed they would need to put a third mover on the job because of the complexity of the move(this adds to the total cost, but they assured me that it would be quicker and the cost would work out to be the same as if two movers were on the job).They also assured me the couch wouldn't be a problem. We boxed, disassembled and labeled everything. When the movers arrived, they were careless with our boxes(breaking several dishes, which were wrapped in bubble wrap and securely packed), unsure if everything would fit in the truck(even though I had sent a detailed contents list days prior to the move-) and unable to move the couch( I was informed they didn't have the right equipment, even though this was the main reason for hiring them). The entire move took 4.5 hours and we have been left to find our own means to move the couch. They were not able to complete the job we hired them to do. At the end of the move they told us they weren't allowed to leave the premises they received payment for the move. The total cost of the move was over $1000. I will be filing a formal complaint with the company and will update as to how things progress.read more

Incredibly bad experience. We were quoted around 250 dollars, it ended up being 1100. The movers expressed how the... people in office mis-quote people all the time. They basically admitted it was a scam. My partner had to run to bank to get more cash twice as the total kept escalating. We are very fortunate we had the money to pay. There have been many instances in my life where I could not take that kind of financial hit. Please do yourself a favour and do not support this company. I do not know how they get the reviews and recognition they do as the guys who helped us move told us they are constantly apologizing to the clients, for how the company functions. They say they are yelled at all the time, but were grateful to us for being understanding and not blaming them. 2 mirror were also chipped in the move. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY.read more

The moving truck showed up 3 hours after the arrival window. Dispatch could not locate the truck. When the crew... arrived, one smelled of beer, one was ready to work, and the other had apparently left work after lunch. After I helped the one willing worker load the truck, the crew took 40 minutes longer than me to reach the delivery destination. When we requested a discount after all this, the staff on the phone was extremely rude and after much more back and forth than the discount was worth, gave us 5% off. Disappointing as we had good experiences in the past. Would not book again or recommend at all.read more

We've all been through that: moves are stressful!Our move yesterday with El Cheapo was anything but. It was actually a... pleasant and fun experience!The initial quote was pretty much bang on. We ended up being over, but that was for reasons beyond anyone's control.But more importantly, the crew was amazing. I mean a-ma-zing! Dwayne, Logan, Tito, a big thank you! These guys were beyond great: hard-working, polite, fun, never slacking, efficient, smart and often going beyond a mover's standard job description. 30 minutes into the move, I was thinking "these guys are good". 6 hours later, I would say I was simply speechless.I hope I won't have to move anytime soon, but if I do, I will call El Cheapo, and I will ask for this Dream Team. Once again, a big thank you!read more

I highly recommend El Cheapo. They were professional, quick, careful, great communicators and reasonably priced.

We used El Cheapo for our load in for our production of Death Meets Harlequin in Leslieville. We will definitely use... them again for our upcoming Fringe Fest show! They were great - fast, friendly, professional. They offered us a discount for being a performing arts non-profit, so it was really affordable in our tight budget. Highly recommend.read more

I’ve been meaning to write this letter for some time. I wanted to commend you on the excellent quality of your company’s service… The two movers (…) and (…) were absolutely top notch: they were professional, efficient – and also entirely good natured and good humoured. I hadn’t anticipated that the move would be …kind of fun. They worked conscientiously and swiftly; moreover, they were gracious about setting aside lighter stuff for me to carry since I’d said I wanted to pitch in.

We were done in about two hours. I was very pleased: I was on a tight budget – and this move was quite reasonably priced. If I’d rented a van and press-ganged some friends … it would have cost me more (factoring in the high price of rentals, plus the necessary bribes of beer and pizza). The “hassle-free” aspect of your service is an added bonus for the bargain price. Let me emphasize again – I really appreciated the positive attitudes and hard work of the two movers.

A co-worker of mine will also be moving soon. I was happy to recommend El Cheapo to her.

Regards and thanks, Shannon

I hired El Cheapo to move me from my apartment in the Beaches down to the Esplanade. This is to tell you that that move was the smoothest, least stressful one of my life. I have moved countless times (5 times just in the past four years), so I have some experience. The movers were so fast, efficient and courteous, I almost could not believe it. I had three friends helping me. They treated me and my friends in a relaxed, friendly and professional way. I was astonished at how they seemed to size up the stuff to be moved, created a plan, and then directed me and my friends in executing the plan. El Cheapo moved me in less than two hours, which is an unprecedented time in my experience.

I also want to thank the person who works in the El Cheapo office. After calling countless movers listed in the Yellow Pages, the El Cheapo man I spoke with on the phone was very professional (despite several interruptions from other callers). I liked that he took the time to talk to me about what I owned and what to expect from my move. This professionalism made me decide to go with El Cheapo. The move was so organized and speedy that the final price was competitive and reasonable. I recommend El Cheapo to anyone.

Thank you very very much, Sabine

Please accept my sincere thanks for the wonderful service that I received by El Cheapo. (…) was very helpful through the booking process, but I was most impressed by the 2 gentlemen that helped us move – (…) and (…). They were pleasant and hardworking, and great ambassadors for your company!

Based on my experience, I would recommend your company unreservedly. I will definitely be calling you again the next time I move,

I am a business school graduate who was taught for four years straight about how the ability to deliver “value for money” and “top notch customer service” was of paramount importance in the business world. However, since graduating, I have been hard pressed to find an organization that not only understood but also practised these concepts. That is, I have been hard pressed until now. I am writing to you to let you know of my extreme satisfaction with your company. I have now used El Cheapo in two of my moves in Toronto and I have been more than impressed with the quality of service I received on both occasions. Your staff has been absolutely wonderful and has eliminated the worry and hassle that I used to associate with moving. Most recently two of your staff members, (…) & (…) moved me from one end of Toronto to the other. Not only were they on time, they were personable, they were professional and they were incredibly efficient. I can not speak highly enough of their efforts. So thank you for being a company that has single-handedly reaffirmed my faith in business school theory. Rest assured that I will gladly recommend El Cheapo to everyone I know with upcoming moves. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

Sincerely, Christina

I had the very great pleasure of being moved by El Cheapo today.
The movers were incredibly professional, fast and hard working. They arrived EXACTLY when they said they would, took meticulous care of my belongings, and worked like dogs every minute they were here.
The price was entirely reasonable, and all of my contacts prior to the moving day were helpful and understanding. I did almost all preliminary work over the internet, and was completely satisfied.
I’ll recommend you, I’ll use you again as movers, and I’ll sing your praises whenever I get a chance!
