(1) customer says:

Avoid this company at all costs. They typed in the wrong zipcode on my contract and not only was the box late but they tried to charge me an extra $ 500 to correct their mistake.

(2) satisfied mover says:

I moved last month and I called up a new company called boxes on the move in Oshawa. They had all my moving boxes supplies and even helped me find a truck since the gentleman had previously worked for Budget truck rentals. He helped me get my rental truck. Way to go Boxes on the Move. You rock.
