I'm a senior and used Fidler to move from Hanover to Hamilton. I greatly appreciated the help and friendliness of the movers. They were efficient, quick, polite, and so helpful - the move went off without a hitch. This was a stressful time and they went above and beyond our expectations. In addition, there were no surprise charges and the cost was fair. Highly recommend Fidler, thank you so much for your help!

Wow, they are supposed to be here for the public but I think not. Went there, they were closed till 1.went all the way back at 1 and they still were not open
Joke! Like we don't ha e better things to be doing. I wouldn't support this type of attitude.

They were fast but careless a box marked breakable was tossed around like nothing my daughter very upset that her unicorn is broken. they destroyed a brand new lamp and lighting fixture in our new place as they didn't take the time to watch what they were doing. I do not recommend them at all.

We had a great experience with Fidler's! From the quote to the move itself, everyone was both professional and personable. The guys who moved our household were careful, efficient, and alot of fun. The quote was fair and accurate. We couldn't be more pleased. Thanks again for great service!

Was hugely over quoted on poundage for a move on a 1 bed apt with no appliances, when asked to redo quote I guess he didn’t need my business and didn’t even have the decency to respond back. Not good for a small town business to snub a potential client. Will not recommend him or his company to anyone.
