Charlie and the team were tremendous. Careful, considerate, hard-working and professional. They made a fairly stressful day quite enjoyable.
Great guys here!
The entire Absolute Moving & Delivery team was efficient, courteous, and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. From the moment we initiated contact with our initial inquiries to their after-move check-in, I was impressed with Amanda, Jessica, and Megan’s quick and friendly responses. They made the entire process all the more enjoyable and were an invaluable addition to the overall experience.
We had Absolute Moving back to finish our move. Sean, Daniel & Richard did an excellent job. They are personable and very efficient. The job was finished quickly and to our satisfaction. We will definitely use Absolute Moving in the future.
Some of the best movers I have ever used. They were very careful with all of my stuff and did not damage anything.
The move went great, Tristen, Ryan and Tim Did a great job, it was quick and organized. It was also very reasonably priced . I definitely would use them again.
Very good experience overall. The two movers were polite, professional, and on time. They transported several large pieces of furniture with glass panels without anything breaking or scratching. The final invoice came in higher than the estimate, but we also asked them to move a few items we had forgotten to include when we asked for a quote. I would definitely recommend Absolute for local moves in Calgary.
These guys were awesome. We assumed it would be 1 truck but were completely wrong. It was 2 trucks. The guys stayed til 10:30pm and maintained an incredibly positive and professional attitude the entire day. So grateful they moved us in a single day and everything arrived safely. Thank you.
Had these guys move my place it was a fantastic experience. Ask for ethanial and and killian
Super professional, helpful, fast, and really took care of everything! Couldn’t have had a better experience.
I would 100% recommend these to anybody that needed a mover. They were efficient, careful with our furniture and protected our floors. Completed the job quicker than expected. Made me feel comfortable enough to leave them in my house while I left for an hour. Highly recommend.
Absolute Movers were quick & efficient. Zac, Cole and Choice (I hope I got his name correct) were friendly and made the move stress free. Highly recommend this company. Quote for move was very competitive and lower than most companies.
I am very impressed with the movers and service from absolute moving! Booking my move was super easy online and intake was very easy to use. I received a call to review my estimate and got clear instructions on what to expect and be prepared for day of moving. When Shawn arrived on time for the morning of my move, I explained what items are to be moved and which are to leave behind. Richard and another gentlemen arrived(forgot his name) and all 3 guys were amazing! They took extreme care of my stuff and wrapped my mirrors and other items I needed very nicely. They were very professional, polite and nothing was damaged in my move! I highly recommend using Absolute moving and would use them again!
Best moving experience hands down! Amanda was attentive and efficient in booking my move, left me with little guesswork as she talked me through the inventory in a few painless minutes. Teagan and Ryan spent a long day (sorry about all the stairs guys!) They were very careful, polite, kind and cheerful the whole day. I will use them every time I need to move! Thanks so much for such a great service!

The pricing was really good and competitive but everything was top notch!! I couldn’t be happier including the crew who came and did the work…..highly recommended!!
We originally booked a different company to handle our move and they cancelled morning of. I called Absolute Moving on a whim to see if they could accommodate us and they were fantastic to deal with. They squeezed us in for the same day and did our move with grace and professionalism. They were so quick and easy to deal with. We are so thankful to them for helping us out in a tough situation!
Eddy and his partner were an excellent team. Smooth transition into everything. They were great about asking where we wanted everything placed. I called them in the morning as plans went south, and they got me a truck within a few hours. I would highly recommend these guys
The office girls and the 4 gentlemen are amazing!! They all treated me with such kindness and were so personable!! I am so,so impressed, from start to finish, it was an excellent and painless experience! Thank you so much!!
Very good experience with Absolute. Moving is not fun but these guys were very organized, efficient and nice people to work with. I would highly recommend Absolute to anyone looking to move.
We recently hired Absolute moving and they were a very professional and efficient crew. If you're looking for a moving company these are your guys!
Would highly recommend, we had to move out a few days early and took possession of our new place later. They came packed the truck stored our things and then a few days later rolled up and unloaded everything making it look so easy. The crew from start to finish were awesome as well.
The crew was very friendly and efficient. They worked without breaks and carefully wrapped everything. There was nothing damaged or broke during the move. I am terrible with names but if you get this crew the experience will be great!
Charlie, Ryan, and Anthony did a great job. Had to unexpectedly store for two days because painting and they worked around the schedule. Absolute was easy to deal with.
I highly recommend Absolute Moving! Christy was thorough with the quote she provided, as well as instructions on prepping for the move., and answering all my questions as they arose. The crew of Anthony, Mike, and Teagan removed the stress of the day from the initial phone call before arriving on site. They were efficient and friendly! Don’t hesitate to book with this company!
We hired Absolute Moving on the recommendation of a friend. We were very impressed with the efficiency and care the guys took with our furniture. I would certainly look to them again in the future.
Absolute Movers did a great job, thanks so much to Aaron and his team!
Moving was never easier! The guys from Absolute Moving showed up on time, prepared and were friendly and professional. They worked efficiently and got everything loaded and unloaded in less time than I had anticipated. The guys took good care of my belongings and nothing was damaged. They even took apart and reassembled the bed frame for me. Everything went smoothly and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience!
Simon and his team have done 2 moves for us and we highly recommend them to anyone looking!
Had an awesome experience with Absolute Moving & Delivery! Teagan and Tim were total rockstars — super friendly, fast, and professional. Amanda made everything a breeze and kept things running smoothly. What I thought would take ages was done in no time. Highly recommend this crew!
The move overall was good. The crew was really friendly and flexible. Crew asked if they wanted me to have the tv boxes taken away which was really nice. I thought I'd assemble the TVs and they'd take the boxes away for me. This was important because my 75" tv can be assembled partly in the box since its heavy and awkward. Bit of a miscommunication there so I dont blame them for that. I found out later on my tv was cracked. I was told the circumstances fell outside of the policy but through communication with the company, we met in the middle to cover a portion of my loses after discussing what had occurred which I appreciated. Some of the hooks on my couch were also bent but nothing I couldn't fix with a hammer. Overall I would recommend the company. Christina who helped set up the appointment has been really accommodating and the crew was really nice. Altho we had a mishap, Aaron reached out and was willing to remedy the situation.
Absolute absolutely lives up to its name! Teagan and his crew were professional, efficient and respectful. They kept us informed every step of the way. We were particularly impressed with the careful handling of our antiques. I would highly recommend this Absolute crew if you are looking for a reliable mover in Calgary!
Starting with Tina and booking everything who was amazing and easy to deal with. Then on moving day Teagan, Ryan and Godwin showed up and Were fantastic. They were quick and efficient and careful with out stuff and our new home. Very polite and friendly. They made moving very easy and I hate moving! But if I have to move again I will be reaching out to Absolute moving for sure. I have already recommend to friends and family and now our good friends are actually using them after our great experience. Thank you for all of your hard work and great communication. Plus they were spot on with their quote. Very impressive! Cannot say enough about how amazing this company is. Thank you!
Absolute Moving did a great job for us. They communicated regularly so we knew when they would arrive & complete delivery. The movers were energetic yet careful loading the items. I will use them again.
Highly Recommend Absolute Movers! Absolute Movers did an outstanding job with our move! They showed up on time, were very professional, and made sure they fully understood which items were going to storage and which were going to our new home. Everything was wrapped carefully in blankets and they handled all of our furniture with great care — no damage to our items, walls, or floors. Peter, Shawn, and Max were personable, friendly, and extremely efficient. They worked quickly while still being careful and respectful of our home. They even helped set up our treadmill and placed everything exactly where we wanted it. I was so impressed with their professionalism, energy, and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be recommending Absolute Movers to my family and friends — my father and daughter will be using them for their future moves as well!
This company moved our house on the coldest day in January! The reason I picked them was all their good reviews! We got a gift card in the mail to use as well and they delivered! The guys were so good, efficient, take down, set up so good! Would highly recommend this moving company
We had a fantastic experience with Absolute Moving & Delivery. The crew was incredibly professional and efficient! They arrived on time and worked tirelessly to move our belongings which is no easy feat given how many stairs we had in and around our home. They wrapped all of our belongings and tagged each item (we are also using their storage services until we move into our new place). Communication was clear from the get-go and they made a stressful process that much easier. I would highly recommend them and am confident that we'll have the same level of professionalism and efficiency in a few weeks when they move us into our new place.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
