Please read the other reviews and stay away! He forced our daughter to pay him in full for service he did not finish providing. He then threatened her to charge more if she refused to pay him immediately before he had completed the move.
(July 27 2024: Replying to disgruntled stranger, reviewing under multiple accounts, not real client) Buddy, come on. This is weird. You are a stranger, not a client, who approached me with a very bad, disrespectful energy. I told you to chill out, and you had a tantrum. You small dogged me. And you're apparently still having a tantrum. Get some rest, and if you don't want people to give it to you; don't give it to them. You're trying your best. I'm trying my best. Go to bed and just forget I exist which will inevitably happen anyway for both of us. I wish you the best.

One of the worst moving experiences of my life, was very clearly inebriated the entire time and showed up very LATE, similar to most of these bad reviews. Did not even finish moving everything in. Stay away from this company was not worth the absurd amount of money i was charged!

Horrible moving experience. Don’t use this service

Had booked moving service several months in advance, they arrived 5 hours later than on contract. The owner came with someone who appeared to never have moving experience and was screamed at in a manner I have never witnessed in my life and had neighbors asking if everything was ok. Very unprofessional and would never recommend this scam of a service to my worst enemy.
Hello Kyle, we are sorry to hear that your experience was not satisfactory. Our movers arrived 2 hours late, at 12:30pm rather than 10:30am. We informed you a week in advance that we would be unable to arrive until at least 10:30am, not 8:30am as we had originally agreed. And, due to road work that was occuring east of Ottawa on our way to you, in Montreal, and a serious accident that occured on the 417 in Ottawa the day before your move that shutdown 10kms of what is essentially the only road to effectively move through Ottawa, our move before yours was pushed back well into the early hours of the morning of your move. These factors caused us to be 2, not 5 hours late. You are correct, one of the movers was green, and he wasn't doing a great job of supporting the weight of a heavy fridge down a narrow twisting Montreal staircase. He was vocally reprimanded, and for that we apologize, but your fridge nor any other of your belongings were damaged. You were also given 2 hours off your bill, free, and already had a discounted rate for having a trainee on your job; despite having uninformed us of the 2 massive flights of stairs at your new apartment in Gatineau. Every single one of your items was well wrapped, and we got the move done for the agreed upon amount in the estimate, despite the move taking 2 hours over because of the stairs. You got a good price on your move, and the trainee on your job worked quickly, despite his inexperience. Again, I'm sorry that you were not satisfied with your move. But, beyond having wrapped everything and causing zero damages to your home(s), and giving you a large discount on-top of a discounted rate, I'm not sure there is much else we can do to fix this issue for you. We wish you all the best, take care, Kyle.

Busy Bee Movers did an amazing job moving our radio studio to it’s new location! There was a lot of complex audio and I.T. equipment and they handled it all with great care. They were also quick and clean with all the rest of our furniture and office supplies, helping us get the move done in record time and minimizing any interruptions to our operations. Nigel and his team were great to deal with, very professional and capable of moving even our most unruly granite broadcast desks. We love working with locally owned, independent businesses because of the high degree of care and quality of service, and Busy Bee is no exception. We’ll definitely call them again next time we need help relocating.
It was our pleasure to move our favourite Ottawa radio station! We will be happy to move you and your staff in the future should you need it for a discounted rate. All the best, headbanging sincerely,
Busy Bee Movers

Thank so much Anne, it was a pleasure working for you and Robin, and we hope you guys are enjoying your new home. All the best!

Nigel and James did an amazing job helping us move. Nigel provided a quote up front and there were no surprises or challenges because he took the time to carefully plan and prepare for the move.
They wrapped all of our large items and handled everything as if it was their own. We are very happy and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in the future! Thanks for everything!
Would recommend . The guys were very friendly, fast, and we had no damages. I have a 100 year old sewing table that they took great care of, and followed my special instructions on.
Thank you Sam, we hope that you are enjoying your new home, all the best!

Nigel and Chris did a great job with our move. 20 foot truck, full to the back, and everything was delivered safely and undamaged, with no marks or dents on walls or floors either. They worked hard all day for a very fair price, highly recommended!
Thank you Trevor it was our pleasure, enjoy your new home!

Thank you Nigel for helping us with our move!
While there were some issues with getting the truck at the start time, Nigel ensured we were taken care of and that everything was moved.
Thank you so much for your review Steve, all the best and enjoy your new home!

Busy Bee responded quickly to my short notice request for a move. They used a significant amount of wrap and paper to fully protect my items. They worked very long hours in hot, humid conditions to ensure that my move was seamless with no major problems, resulting in a positive move experience.
Thank you for your review Steve, it was a pleasure to work for you, and we wish you all the best going forward.

Super impressed! I reached out to them with a last minute request and a budget that fit both our pockets. Quick and efficient! Super friendly and even stopped to give my loving dog some attention. Thank you so much, I will reach out again and recommend them! I am in love with my new couch! ☺️
