1. Move from Montreal to Florida.

   Usually I don't make review online but this moving company deserve 5 stars. Moving from one country to another is not east but they helped us from beginning. Very professional and the field workers are experienced. I would recommend their services to everyone..

2. Excellent Moving Experience.

   Hi! My wife and I moved with TransAtlas 2 months ago and I can say my experience was a quite pleasant one. It's very difficult finding reliable movers, so we did a lot of research before hiring this company. They were very fast to respond to my message and give me all the information about pricing and their capabilities. Movers were great and friendly. They treated our belongings as if their own. Honest, reliable, reasonably priced. I couldn't have been happier. We will hire them again if needed.

3. Highly Recommended.

   3 months ago, we moved our 3 bedroom home from Montreal to Vancouver with TransAtlas. We were impressed from the initial quotation through to the finished move. Movers were very prompt and professional, they were willing to work with our crazy schedule. Despite putting in a long and hard work day, the three man crew arrived with a cheerful attitude and immediately went to work. They made sure all my furniture was properly wrapped and secured in the truck, and cleaned up after themselves. We had everything marked down and put in the correct room. This was by far most simple and well coordinated move that we ever had, thanks to TransAtlas.

4. Good Services TransAtlas.

   Hi ! I moved 5 months ago, I was so lucky to have found TransAtlas, because I had a piano in the basement level, after several tentavives with the other compagny, we had not succeeded, but with the strong men and professional of this company (TransAtlas) have managed to release this prestigious piano without damage. Thanks again guys.

5. Great move.

   The company picked up our family antique furniture and collectables and brought them back to Montreal. Levent and his team were there all the way for us. The Florida team were extremely competent with a sense of humor. They arrived on time to wrap and tape up all the furniture and heirlooms securely and tagged them so nothing got lost or damaged.
   When the goods arrived in the Montreal warehouse, Levent guided me though the customs procedures and two days later, the Montreal team delivered our furniture, laid out the rugs, set up the tables and all went well. Paid the bill by credit card. Price paid was per contract based on the final weight. No surprises.
   
   Keep in mind that with international consolidated moves, you need to be flexible with the timing. There are many factors that are beyond the moving company's control. You should always have your own collectables wrapped professionally as the shipment will be transferred from the international truck to a local truck.
   
   Great job Levent. Hope to use you again.

6. AVOID! They will scam you!!

   Never have I felt more regret and disgust about paying someone for a service. The owner of Transatlas Movers, Levent, is a scam artist.
   
   It's extremely hard to communicate when you get hung up on. Levent would hang up the phone on us when we told him that's not what we agreed on. Then we called back and couldn't connect. They also didn't respond to one single email.
   
   -Called and established the date we were going to get access to new apartment, agreement was made and they took our stuff.
   
   -2 weeks later we get a call from Levent saying the delivery day will be 3 days earlier (too early for us as we didn't have access to the apt yet). He said it would cost an extra $200 to hold it for those 3 days. I said I didn't want to pay extra because we established the date on the CONTRACT. Levent said if I don't want to pay then it will have to wait for the next truck to California in 3 weeks. I agreed to this because I didn't want to pay some BS fabricated charge.
   
   -We didn't know where our things were for weeks, after sending numerous emails and trying to call them frequently.
   
   -Well finally after getting ahold of him 2 weeks later he says we have to pay $200 for storage. What?? The whole point of us not having all our things for 3 weeks was to not pay the $200 and now he's saying we have to pay anyway. Well I guess he decided he was getting that $200 no matter what. I said I never agreed to paying extra ever, and he said he would not deliver our things unless we paid the $200. Criminal. We were left no choice.
   
   -Upon delivery, things were not handled with care: box with a computer monitor in it with a picture of the monitor on the box and "fragile" written in big block letters was delivered on the floor with 2 big boxes on top of it.
   -Furniture was broken. Boxes were punctured and ripped.
   
   Bowls and plates marked "fragile" were packed with lots of bubble wrap, but somehow many dishes were broken and the bubbles were popped. They must have dropped these boxes on the ground from the truck. I can't imagine how so much broke.
   
   -The movers forced open the elevator door and damaged it. Our landlord told us it was damaged and we showed it to the driver. He threw up his hand and said "not my problem"
   
   -Verbal abuse- Levent raised his voice, called us liars, he said many disrespectful and demeaning things to my wife. Neither I nor my wife have ever been talked to like that before by anyone. It's pretty disgusting actually.
   
   
   This is how you can expect to be treated by the people that are handling your most valuable possessions. They damaged our things and our home. They made up charges and lied about informing us about these charges in advanced.
   
   This whole experience was a nightmare. I guess you can make a living being a cheater when you don't have repeat customers. Prospective customers BEWARE of this operation!!

   

7. International move from Michigan to Quebec.

   It was such a GREAT experience ! The entire relocation turned out to be something beyond my expectations !! They did all their best to ensure that I relocated peacefully without any disturbance. They have expertly packed my things, carefully loaded them in their truck and safely delivered everything. They truly have customer satisfaction at heart !
   
   I was amazed by their focus, great advice and dedication. Special THANKS to Levent and Izzet ! They did so well: making the entire relocation a great success !! I am going to seek their services again. I HIGHLY recommend TransAtlas Moving Services.

8. Move from Montreal to Vancouver.

   Our move was superbly handled by Levent and his team. Pricing was simple. Per lb rate for shipping and per lb rate for packing. No extra charges which most other moving companies build in (which are difficult to comprehend). Move was door to door and room to room. Pick-up and delivery dates were respected. The team was quick, efficient and thorough on packing and very helpful on delivery and removal of much of packing material. All goods arrived safe and sound. A minor floor scratch occurred on delivery and they looked after the repair. I would use them and strongly recommend them for any move. Thank you Levent and your Tranatlas team.

9. Great Moving Company Five Star service.

   Bulent and his Team was awesome, Friendly and very polite.
   I was stressed out about moving but when these guys showed up on moving day it made my day easy. While they were wrapping my furniture they were making jokes and making me laugh, I never laughed so much. I moved twice before but my other moves wasn't so pleasant. When my furniture arrived in Vancouver I was happy to see all my furniture arrived safe and sound. I would Highly recommend TransAtlas .
   
   Thank you TransAtlas.

10. Great experience - Good job, Bulent!

    Approximately a year ago, we moved from Montreal to South Carolina. Bulent was very helpful and kind with all aspects of the process, from how to fill out customs forms, to even providing us with recycled boxes. We were mildly concerned with the efforts of the gentlemen who arrived to pack our furniture into their city truck - but long story short, all of our boxes and furniture arrived at our new home on schedule, undamaged, with two hired hands in 35 degree C weather, and there had been no problems at customs. Thanks, Bulent and crew! You made two very happy customers!!

11. Very happy.

    We moved from Washington DC to Montreal with transatlas movers we were very happy about our move with them very professional and good service they gave we ll recommend to everyone to transatlas movers.

12. Excellent Service.

    We sold our house in Florida and had to move all the furniture back to Montreal. I got 5 quotes. Three of the quotes gave me the same pick up date which I felt was a little weird. I found out that the three trucking companies in Florida were using TransAtlas for the move so I called TransAtlas. Their quote was lower for the exact same service. There had been some negative reviews on the internet so I was concerned. I personally went to see Levant. I suppose it was during the meeting that I started to feel very comfortable with him so I signed a contract. Delivery went extremely well. Nothing broken and they arrived on time and delivered on time. We had taken up less space in the van and he even gave us a refund. We would highly recommend.

13. Excellent Service.

    My wife and I hired Transatlas Moving to do our move from Los Angeles CA to Ottawa ON. They had quoted me $10600 Canadian for 8500 pounds I landed up paying $10984 because I had 8820 pounds . This was the only additional charge.
    The crew on pickup were professional fast and very courteous same as the delivery end.
    I was picked up on April 4 and delivered on April 12.
    This company overall is amazing and highly recommend them . I would use them again.

14. You *almost* get what you pay for.

    I went with these guys because their estimate was the cheapest - which should have been a red flag. The pick up of my items went perfectly. The delivery, however, was late and incomplete.
    PLEASE I beg of you, if you DO go with this company (I highly advise against it), do NOT give in to the deliverer's demands to sign the delivery bill before he starts unloading the items. I did in good faith - but 3 boxes were missing. Ensues a 2 1/2 month saga of misinformation, contradictory information and finally ignoring all attempts at contacting them. They finally responded when I went via the Better Business Bureau. Initially denied everything and insisted the order was complete. They then somehow found the boxes. Set a delivery date. Delivered two boxes, and refused to acknowledge the third box missing. I've given up. I don't think I will ever see that third box. (not to mention that several items in the two missing boxes were smashed to pieces).
    
    So, if your priority is to get most of your stuff delivered in passable condition, and you don't particularly care when things are delivered, if part of your shipment never shows up (everything will be denied) and part of it is damaged beyond repair.. then this is the perfect company for you! They're cheap, and you (almost) get what you pay for.. but a little less!

15. Transatlas Moving Company - Montreal.

    I was scheduling a move from Montreal to Toronto in August, 2016. I was given a reference from my realtor friend and that is how I made contact with Levent at Transatlas Moving.
    
    I had the most excellent experience with them and would with our reservation recommend Levent and his team to anyone. To begin with we were wrapping up our house in Montreal and relocating to China for a year. We were moving our stuff into storage in Toronto. There was a lot of logistic synchronisation that was to happen.
    
    Levent's team arrived on moving day on time and arranged to move our furniture from a 1st floor walk-up without a hiccup. They were polite and loaded the truck and left in a few hours. The load was estimated and we signed a contract for delivery to a U-haul location that Sunday.
    
    On Sunday I was at the U-haul location where I store my stuff and the movers arrived on time with my shipment and proceeded to unload it. Now this is where the thing about going the extra-mile for your customer comes in. The unit in which I had stored my stuff was loaded in a haphazard manner by a moving company I had used previously. And the stuff I was bringing from Montreal would not have fitted in as it stands.
    
    I had the choice to rent another storage locker for an extra $150 a month. Which over a 12 month period would have added $1800 to my storage budget. These guys suggested they unload my locker and arrange the stuff in it properly before moving in my new stuff that had arrived from Montreal. They called Levent and he said help these guys out. So for $50 an hour and in 3 hours they had re-organized my storage locker and unloaded my stuff from the truck from Montreal.
    
    A $150 investment and some sweat saved me a whole deal of money and heartache.
    
    I cannot thank Levent and his team enough for the excellent work they did.
