The pre-work for our move went well, but the team assigned to do our move treated our furniture and ourselves with complete disrespect. Sadly, I wrote to the President of Hudson's, who did not even offer us the courtesy of a reply. I will not be recommending this company to anyone

My daughter was moving to a different province. Hudson Movers Ltd helped us the entire way, we needed to use a different carrier to move outside of Ontario. The third party carrier had given Hudson Movers a window of time in which they expected to deliver in the new province. Hudson Movers showed up on time with quality staff to pick up in Ontario. It was very hard to pin down the exact date the other carrier would deliver as they needed to coordinate on their end. Flights were booked to arrive on a certain date - Sherry Dardaine and Dave Stewart did everything possible to make sure the other carrier

Moving a senior parent with more than 50 years of life stuff is never easy. However Hudson was the only company that was honest, professional and very responsive when I was looking to book a moving company. From Pat the sales person who was truthful about the costs. Quotes from other companies stated that the price could change the day of the move. That wasnt ever Pat. He explained how Hudson charges. How they were operating during COVID-19- where they had very strict protocols to keep everyone safe. There was Sherry from the Customer Service team who managed the logistics of the move

Trevor and his colleagues from Hudson/United moved a half truck load of heavy furniture and boxes of personal items from Ottawa to Boston. On both ends of the move they were pleasant, careful, skilled and efficient. Trevor called us when he got hung up and the border and helped us problem solve some paperwork issues. Wed definitely use them again!

Moved 1/2 hour away and the movers moved all the cartons that we had packed as well as furniture and painting. They were very pleasant, organized and efficient. The billing was done without any overcharges for time or container use. I was pleasantly surprised by the bill as it was quite accurate.
Chris, Michael and Jack all did their work and asked questions when needed and also replied to my questions with knowledgeable answers. Thanks to Chris, Michael and Jack for their excellent service

We used Hudson Movers to move from our bungalow in Scarborough to a condo. As we unpacked and moved into our new life we missed many things that we know were packed onto the truck. Curtain rods gone! No tea and tea brewing equipment made it into our new house but we packed it all so carefully. Sewing supplies, missing! Etc! The company made a token payment, then stopped responding at all. Walk through the logic - only two possibilities are possible. Boxes and items were stolen or somehow lost. We wouldnt use Hudson Movers again, ever!
