I visited Tippet Richardson's location to view my recently deceased Fathers storage locker. On my arrival, I was asked to bring my Fathers account up to date in exchange for viewing the contents. I paid the outstanding fees in July 2021, however Tippet Richardson's "Revenue Clerk" took it upon herself to continually charge my credit card for my deceased Fathers account and when challenged claimed the funds were part of a "disposal fee".
At no time did I provide permission to charge my card for monthly fees, nor is there a written agreement, or contract that exists between myself or Tippet Richardson

We hired this company for a local move. They came on time but that it is the only positive thing we have say about them.
Going back to first contact, when we spoke over the phone all that was spoken about was the date and time as to when the movers would show up, how many things like furniture needs to be moved, and lastly a quote of $650 was given.
The day of the move, the two movers worked extremely slow (I would assume to be pad the hourly they make) they packed (shoved) items into boxes which lead to damage or crushing of the item(s) even though they were not asked to, and overall we were

We used this company for a local move and were not told that travel time to and from the warehouse is charged. In addition, they are approximately 10min away from our old home as well as 10min from our new home, but we were charged 30min each way for travel time. We found out about these charges after our move was completed. When I spoke with the person I made arrangements with, she said that is something that she always mentions and that it's a standard charge. Also didn't address my concerns about the amount of travel time charged. Basically, just ignored the discrepancy and my emails and we

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
We had our overseas shipment delivered today in Ottawa by two very professional reps of Tippet-Richardson, who drove all the way from Toronto. Hubbie and Mohammed were punctual and efficient. They delivered and unloaded the items in no time. Definitely recommend them for future jobs.

We are relocating from Ontario to B.C. and are delighted with the service we’ve received from Tippet Richardson & Lewis Movers. From the first phone call with Lynn Flanagan we knew we were dealing with professionals. Every team member was courteous and capable, from the young men who helped pack up our fragile items the day before our move, to Chris and his team who loaded the moving van in the pouring rain. These folks took the stress out of moving day, loading up our house and then separately our storage locker. We look forward to the same professional experience in BC when our possessions

After much deliberation and dialogue, I feel I must give the absolute worse rating for this company. I arranged to have a move between BC and Alberta. Price was competitive however, they sent the moving van 1/3 full to my house. Chairs were left behind, a lawn ornament was left behind, etc. due to the lack of space on the van. I attempted to get a discount to no avail. I estimate I am out about $500 from the move. I gave the company every opportunity to compensate me for my loss but to date I have had no response. Very unfortunate. If I felt differently, I would given a different rating.

We hired T-R this year to move our "Hong Kong Chest" from Ottawa to Vancouver. This is a family heirloom and we chose Tippet over cheaper bids because we thought it would be safer with "Professionals". It wasn't! A leg was broken off and the finish on the front had a big rub mark down to the wood. This chest had been brought to Canada 70 yrs ago on my dad's ship and moved several times subsequently without harm.
While the damage was clearly caused by Tippet, they claim no responsibility and refuse to repair the damage they caused. Zero customer service! We were floored, frankly.
I would never

We just had Tippet Richardson pack up our 3500 square foot home for a move from Toronto, Ontario to Ocala, Florida. My wife and I have done many moves in the course of our 50 years in both the military and private sectors (a move on average of every 4-5 years across the US and Canada). We have had many good moving experiences but Tippet Richardson was, bar none, absolutely the best. Lynn Flanagan was outstanding in advising us and helping us prepare for the move. The packing and moving team of Kike W, James JR, Dale, Hobbie, Kowan and Alex were absolutely wonderful!! They crated fragile items

Craig (sales rep) and Zack (driver / mover) from Allied Van Lines / Tippet Richardson were great - helped us pack, load and move long distance from Vancouver to the Kootenays. Not the cheapest move but you get what you pay for and I wanted peace of mind and quality work and got both. Great communication, and I always felt that I was being well taken care of. Craig was great on the admin side and Zack was awesome on the ground. When there was a minor issue Craig was on it and took care of it to my satisfaction. Would use them again and highly recommend them.
