As a non-smoker, non-drinker, I remember those decades, and what a music store meant for musicians. I became good friends with Al, the father and original owner of Thorold Music. It's not the same today, technology and the economy taking society away from live bands, but I see Thorold Music as finding a nice balance to keep the love alive, enough to make me leave my home town of Welland to make it there. I also respect Leo, one of Als' sons who manages the store, as a keyboard player, and every employee there has shown a mature and talented ability on guitar. I wouldn't necessarily say "Woohoo! As good as it gets!", because when I'm not there the light of Jimi Hendrix, who I saw in Toronto, doesn't shine as bright... and... sometimes it takes a lefty to show you the left-handed world. The new millennium is in my brain, lately these signals, they don't feel the same. It's not very funny, the music that people want to buy, 'scuse me, while I diss these skies. Thank you again, Leo, Conrad and staff at Thorold Music, for your kind and generous treatment. as always, John Watt

Booked Richard "The Piano Guy" to move my piano about 10km - a very simple job with only a handful…read moreof stairs involved. Firstly, he was very difficult to coordinate with from the get-go. His text message responses were always very short and responses sometimes took several hours, but after some frustration we set up a moving time. On the day of the move, Richard was going to be two hours later than the 11am time slot he told me. He did not call to warn me he was going to be late. I only found out when I messaged him that morning asking if he was still planning on coming. Very basic customer service should be that if you're going to be late then you should inform the customer. He blamed it on traffic (you would have thought a mover would have experienced traffic before and would be able to plan around it). Since he didn't tell me in time, I wasn't able to reschedule an appointment I had and so I was not able to complete the move that day. He reached out four days later proposing a new time that didn't work for me. I proposed a range of alternatives across two different weeks and was told that he has no availability. I would have expected that after he screwed up the first time that he would have taken some extra care and would have tried to accommodate my move, but was told that if I wanted something sooner than I should try a less busy mover. I would recommend staying away from "The Piano Guy" for any alternative, even if they are more expensive. The customer service is really that bad.

Our experience was similar...damaged items, items left in the home for us to move, no blankets used, items packed poorly into the truck, dings and scratches on items, walls, floors. About a million excuses as to why it's not their fault! Gotta love when a business like this can't own up to sucking at their job. We found the cost to be exceptionally high for the service that was offered. The worst part is we only moved 200 meters door to door and they still managed to make a mess of the move. I did ask for them to rectify the issues by email pointing out all the problems I saw with their service, only to have the owner go through and completely deny, deflect, and take no ownership for anything...including the extra load and a half left at the house. Said they'd be happy to come and remove it...at a cost of course! I'm a licensed real estate agent and close on 50 plus properties a year. You can 110% guarantee that I will NEVER recommend this company to help my clients and will be sure to share my experience with anyone who mentions hiring a mover. Really wish I rented a truck at UHaul for $29.99 and paid some friends and colleagues to help us make the move. It would have been done cheaper, faster, and a million times better. Lesson learned...thanks Mighty Movers!!!

If I could have picked 0 stars that's what I would have done…read more We called and were quoted a price for the amount of stuff we had. We were moving from a 3bed apartment to a house. Naturally you would think they'd bring their biggest truck. But no they brought their smallest truck. They also knew they were going to a secondary location to pick up additional items. They came into the apartment and looked around a bit and decided right away it all wouldn't fit and they would need to make 2/3 trips. So they "filled" or what they called filled the small truck. There was so much empty space left. They drove across town about 5km to our house and unloaded the first load of only furniture. They were not gentle with our items while they knocked furniture against our walls. They left our house when they were done unloading everything to go to our secondary location; 1km away from the house. They moved items from that garage straight into our garage and basically charged the same amount for 1/3 of the truck "full" as they called it. We got back to our apartment where we still had 1/2 and apartment to empty; furniture and ALL our boxes! We called to tell them what a horrible experience it was and how much stuff was left. They offered to return in a few days (because it was the weekend) to finish the job but it was still going to cost us to finish the job. We ended up renting a Uhaul truck and finishing the job ourselves. To add to it, the movers also scratched the brand new floors in the apartment and they were on their cell phones majority of the time. Our landlord at the apartment also told us that she saw them doing a lot more of nothing than moving. This was extra frustrating knowing how much time they wasted getting the job done and getting paid ridiculous dollars for it. These movers were extremely lazy, don't care about what they are doing and we would NEVER recommend them to anyone; even our worst enemy.
