Absolute helped me move today and the three gentlemen they sent were amazing! I believe their names were Slavik, Jerman and Arman but I could be wrong I am terrible with names. They helped me pack and take out some trash along with my move. Very friendly, polite, hardworking and STRONG! They were the only assistance I had during this move and they were fantastic. Even from the first phone call with Christy. I would definitely recommend and will be hiring them again for my next move. 10/10!

I had the pleasure of having Sean and Daniel help me with my move today, and I can’t say enough about how great they were. Despite the scorching heat (it was over 30°C!), they remained professional, efficient, and respectful throughout the entire move. They worked tirelessly and made sure everything was handled with care. They were by far the best movers I've ever hired – friendly, hardworking, and absolutely dedicated to getting the job done right. It’s not easy moving in this heat, but they powered through and made the whole experience as smooth as possible. I truly appreciate their hard work and attitude. I would absolutely recommend Absolute Moving and Delivery to anyone looking for reliable movers. I will definitely be using their services again in the future. Thank you both for making today’s move so much easier!

From start to finish we had a great experience with Absolute Moving. Within minutes of submitting an inquiry online I had a follow up phone call with Christy and a home visit that afternoon to give us an accurate quote. She really knows the logistics of moving and had the timing down exact and list of additional materials they would require. The guys were very personable and friendly on moving day which was appreciated because moving can be really stressful and we could all use a few laughs to lighten the mood. We have already used their services again for a third party order for home delivery and would recommend them.

It all started with Christy, who made completing the estimate so easy. She was very responsive if ever I reached out. We had the pleasure of working with Shawn, Shaun, and Hugo today to move out of our home. This was a big job, moving out of our home into a townhouse, and these three made every step of the way easy and lovely. They worked so hard, had a friendly smile and positive attitude, and were flexible to make sure we were satisfied. This stressful event was made infinitely more pleasant by these 3 who worked so hard to take care of our move with expertise, care, and a great attitude. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs a move. Price was so transparent and reasonable, I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thank you to Shawn, Shaun, and Hugo.

Slavic, Curtis, and Ethanial were troopers! Moved me from a place with a lot of stairs, into a place with a lot of stairs. They were very kind, played with my dog, and nice to my daughter. When my back was hurting, Slavik got couch pillows on the couch so I wouldn't have to sit on the floor. Thx guys!

I can't say enough great things about this moving company! From start to finish, the experience was flawless and truly above and beyond anything I expected. I needed a very heavy concrete table delivered, and not only did they take on the challenge without hesitation, but they had it delivered in less than 24 hours from my initial contact. That kind of speed and responsiveness is almost unheard of! Their communication was superb - clear, professional, and incredibly prompt. Every step of the way, I was kept informed and reassured. They didn’t just wrap the table well - they wrapped it beyond well, with incredible care and attention to detail to make sure it arrived in perfect condition. The drivers were absolute pros—strong, friendly, respectful, and so pleasant to work with. They handled the heavy lifting with ease and made a tough job look effortless. I was genuinely impressed by their teamwork, attitude, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a reliable, efficient, and truly top-tier moving company, this is the one. I would recommend them a thousand times over and will absolutely use them again in the future. Five stars just isn’t enough!

Thank you Zach, Cole, and Choice for an efficient and seamless move. The final billed time came in lower than estimated and they graciously waited 1.5 hours for our house possession to finalize before unloading at our new home. They took great care of our multiple glass tables, including disassembly and assembly. They even disassembled our crib, although they couldn't put it back together due to liability, which is understandable. Great crew. Jessica answered all my questions via text and was very informative. She helped us every step of the way, including dropping off some wardrobe boxes for us free of charge. I would 100% consider Absolute Moving again in the future.

Absolute Moving are, in my opinion, the best movers in Calgary. They moved my condo efficiently and quickly. The 3 guys who did the move were so friendly. They explained everything about how my furniture and belongings will be moved and stored. I was so surprised that every item was wrapped in blankets, including the chair legs. It wasn't the best weather for the day, raining, but the truck with the side door made for a very efficient move so nothing would get wet. I can now feel confident that my items will be stored without me having the worry about them, and delivered to my new house with the same ease and efficiency as the move out. Thank you so much for your help with my move, and making this the easiest part of my entire move.

We had the most wonderful crew to move our 2400 sq ft house and 5 car garage. We had two trucks and six guys. It took four truck loads. The reason we went with this company is because they could do everything. They moved our hot tub and car lift. Nothing broken and they worked hard. Would highly recommend them. Hope not to move ever again, but if we do this is who we are calling.

Im now 42 years old and this is my first time I’ve ever hired a moving company. They made what’s typically one of the most stressful things in life so easy. Dan and Jeff from the Edmonton Absolute Moving and Delivery team were, friendly, professional, punctual and kept me informed throughout the entire process. They navigated heavy and awkward items throughout the house with no issues and did it in a way that avoided damaged to the house and furniture. If you need to move, avoid getting friends to help you out and possible damaging things, definitely hire the team at Absolute Moving and Delivery. It’s worth every penny.

Can I schedule my residential move on weekends?

Yes, we understand that weekends can be more convenient for many of our customers, so we offer flexible scheduling options that include weekends. Whether you need to move on a Saturday or Sunday, our team is here to accommodate your schedule and ensure a smooth transition to your new home. Our weekend availability allows you to plan your move around your busy schedule and ensures that you have the support you need when you need it. Just let us know your preferred moving dates, and we'll work with you to make it happen.

What should I do to prepare for a residential move?

To prepare for a residential move, start by decluttering and organizing your belongings. Sort through items to determine what you want to keep, donate, or discard. This process can help reduce the number of items you need to move, making the process more efficient and cost-effective. Additionally, create a packing plan and gather necessary packing supplies. Label boxes clearly to indicate the contents and destination rooms in your new home. Notify relevant parties, such as utility companies and change of address services, and make arrangements for any necessary storage or transportation of large items.

Can I pack my own belongings before the move?

Yes, you have the option to pack your own belongings before the move. However, if you prefer, we offer professional packing services to ensure your items are packed safely and securely. Our professional packers use high-quality materials and techniques to protect your belongings during transit. Whether you choose to pack yourself or use our packing services, we are here to accommodate your needs and make your moving experience as smooth as possible.

How do you ensure the safety of fragile items during packing?

To ensure the safety of fragile items during packing, we employ a meticulous approach. Our team uses high-quality, specialized packing materials such as bubble wrap, packing paper, and sturdy boxes. Fragile items are carefully wrapped and cushioned to protect them from impact during transport. Additionally, our experienced packers are trained in proper handling techniques to minimize the risk of damage. We also label boxes containing fragile items clearly, ensuring they are handled with care throughout the moving process. These measures are part of our commitment to ensuring your fragile items arrive safely at your new location.

Do you offer unpacking services?

Yes, we offer comprehensive unpacking services as part of our moving package. Our professional team will carefully unpack your belongings, placing items in their designated rooms according to your instructions. We'll also assist in assembling furniture and arranging items to your liking, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition into your new space. Our goal is to help you settle in quickly and comfortably, so you can start enjoying your new home right away. Let us take care of the unpacking so you can focus on getting acquainted with your new surroundings.

How do you calculate the cost of a long-distance move?

The cost of a long-distance move is determined by several factors, including the distance between your current and new location, the size and weight of your belongings, and any additional services you require, such as packing or storage. Factors like the time of year, accessibility of your locations, and special handling requirements can also affect the cost. Our team will assess these factors and provide you with a detailed, customized quote that outlines all the costs involved, ensuring transparency and accuracy in pricing for your long-distance move.

What distance is considered a long-distance move?

If you're moving more than 400 miles, it's considered a long-distance move. Long-distance moves are typically more complex than local moves because there are more steps involved, such as packing, transport, delivery, and unpacking. You'll also need to plan for things like food and lodging along the way. The good news is that there are plenty of resources available to help you plan and execute a successful long-distance move. Start by giving us a call to get a free quote! We will help take care of all your long-distance moving needs, ensuring a smooth and stress-free relocation experience.

What items must not be packed when moving homes?

Moving homes is a significant undertaking, and ensuring the safety of your belongings is paramount. Along with perishables, flammable, and combustible materials, it's crucial to avoid packing valuable or sentimental items, such as jewellery or important documents, in boxes that will be transported with the rest of your belongings. Fragile items like glassware, artwork, and electronics should be packed with extra padding to prevent damage. Lastly, items that are illegal or prohibited by law, such as firearms or certain medications, should not be packed for the move.

How far in advance should i book for the moving services?

It's advisable to book your moving services as far in advance as possible to ensure availability, especially during peak moving seasons. We recommend booking at least 2-4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred moving date and time. However, we understand that moving plans can change, so we strive to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible. Contact us to discuss your specific moving needs and schedule. Our team will work with you to find the best solution for your moving needs, whether you need to book well in advance or have a last-minute request.

Do you offer a free quote for your services?

Yes, we provide free quotes for all our services. Simply contact us with details about your move, such as the size of your home, the distance of the move, and any specific requirements you may have. Our team will then assess your needs and provide you with a detailed quote outlining the cost of the move. This quote will include all relevant fees and charges, ensuring transparency and accuracy in our pricing. We strive to offer competitive rates and exceptional service, making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
