The two movers were exceptional, Daniel and Tristan I believe that’s how you spell his name excellent and hard-working very cooperative and good to be around. I would recommend this moving company in these two gentlemen to anybody.
Very professional and responsive!
The folks on the phone were friendly, clear and helpful. The guys moving were also friendly, efficient and good at their jobs. Only good things to say about Absolute Moving.
Absolute Moving is the way to go. Easy communication with their front office to set up dates. Very reasonable prices. Max & Eugene showed up the day of, right on schedule and wasted no time getting to work. Everything was moved with care and efficiency. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a move in Calgary
We had a great experience with Absolute Moving Company! Jessica was amazing. Communication was perfect. We always knew what the plan was and everything was on time. The team was professional, efficient, and careful. They made my move stress-free and easy. Highly recommend!
Fantastic service. Sean and Tristan were so kind and helpful. They got my move done way faster than I would have thought possible and were careful with everything. No damage to any items or my apartment. Price was great, most affordable quote I got out of several companies for such good work. Will definitely use them again for any future moves.
Every step of the process was really well explained and the team are so professional. My furniture was wrapped well and everything went according to schedule with no stress. I'd recommend Absolute to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable mover.
Excellent service. Nice and professional. Would recommend the company and the crew (Killian, Shaun & Chris). Unpacked everything and zero breaks/damage. The scope was bigger than I estimated and the guys stayed more time and continued doing excellent work. Thanks so much!
Excellent experience with Absolute Moving and Storage! I booked my move with Jessica - she was excellent, very professional and gave me complete trust and peace of mind from the start. On moving day, Todd and Carus were amazing. They did two stops for me - first to pick up furniture from storage, then to my temporary house for 20 boxes, suitcases, and my electric bicycle. Everything was handled with great care. They assembled my electric adjustable bed and dining table and placed all furniture exactly where I wanted. Special thanks to Carus for his extra patience helping me position the beds just right. Highly recommend this company - from booking to delivery, everything was done great! Thank you Jessica, Todd and Carus! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel, Sean & Tristan made our move a great experience! They happily moved many items that were not even on our list 😊. Or maybe our daughter bringing donuts helped! lol. They were very courteous & prompt. Jessica would reply very quickly to any inquiries we had.
We just used Absolute this past weekend for our move, and I must admit I’m glad we didn’t go for the cheapest quote. Our guys (Killian and Conner) showed up on time, got right to work and provided some good laughs throughout the day! Their job isn’t easy or graceful, but they did it without complaint and efficiently. No damage, a lesson on china cabinets, and the news of my couch not fitting down the stairs wasn’t even so bad because of these two! Highly recommend Absolute for your moving needs! You won’t be disappointed. Right from my first call with Brinn, the follow up and service it was 10/10…
Killian & Bobby did a stellar job! They were swift & professional and took great care with our belongings. Would definitely recommend them to friends & family.
Absolute Movers helped my parents move into their new condo yesterday. They got everything safely loaded into their building despite the complexity of navigating a 30+ foot truck in an inner city alley for the load out. Absolute worked with us to load the stuff into the condo in an organized and efficient manner so they could clear the alley asap. All of the movers & support staff who helped us out were friendly and they took care with my parents stuff. Overall we had a great experience with Absolute Movers. photo: Our crew in front of their truck after a successful move
We were moved by Bobby and Tim, amazing service, very friendly staff, would recommend.
Big thanks to Teagan and Cayden for their hard work and great attitude for our move!! Absolute moving provides great service and really good communication throughout whole process. Thank you.
The team we had for our move were absolutely incredible. They were so fast and efficient, SUPER friendly and very professional. I would recommend this moving company 1000% I will definitely use them if I ever need to move again! Thanks guys keep up the amazing work
Honestly, a really great experience. The guys were so fun, friendly, and professional! They moved me and ALL my crap from Calgary to Edmonton. It was easily a 15 hour day for them, but they did it all with a smile, jokes, and hard work. Look no further, this is the company to move you to your new home! Oh and my dog loved them.
Such a great experience from start to finish! Jessica was wonderful to deal with when getting the quote and booking everything, and she made the whole process really easy. Thank you! HUGE shout out to Shaun, Cayden, and Teagan! You guys were amazing! Friendly, professional, and efficient! You guys worked incredibly hard, were thorough, and took great care of both my belongings and home throughout the entire move. You made what could have been a stressful day feel so much easier. I really appreciated your hard work and great attitudes. I can't say enough good things about these guys! Thank you so very, very much! I would absolutely recommend Absolute Movers! A well-deserved 5 stars!
Bobby and Umar were amazing, efficient, strong and careful. I’m so thankful for their help and the pricing was very fair. Thank you gents for making our move easier. I highly recommend this moving company. Additional highlights are kindness, considerate of time and finished quite quick. Thank you again!
Absolute were great. Well organized and professional. They worked tirelessly with minimal breaks and really hussled late into the evening to finish the job.
Thank you to Absolute Moving Crew: Killian, Matthew, Josh & Ethan!!! Great job getting my new hot tub moved!!!
Absolutely love the moving company the guys are very respectable very helpful and take most of the stress away. I would recommend them
Amazing service, accurate quote with no surprises, and super polite employees. Thanks for making my move so effortless! (for me. I hope you have Tiger Balm or something)
This was the best move I have ever done. Matthew, Josh, Todd and Killian were Professional, Polite, Efficient and Entertaining (who doesn't need a good laugh these days). Got the job done while being mindful of property and the old gals. There is one no other company I would rather deal with, Absolute Moving and Storage is best. From start to finish just a great experience, along with great pricing it was a good day.
These guys did a great job moving us from Calgary to Okotoks. Excellent organization. Thanks absolute moving!
Zach, Bobby, and Tryston did a great job with my move! Tina was also very patient answering all of my questions. They handled my belongings with care. Very friendly. Hard working. Highly recommended.
Nothing short of AMAZING. The booking process was a breeze. Whatever platform they use for quoting/booking/contracts is actually brilliant, so easy and intuitive. Tina & Jessica on the admin end were both super friendly and helpful with quoting and booking. Moving day was the real highlight, though… Ryan and David were incredible! I was insanely stressed about this move and they made everything effortless. What would have taken me & reluctant friends/family several trips, several arguments, and likely several tears was done in 3 hours with smiles on everyone’s faces. David & Ryan were gentle, thorough, careful, and so kind. They also had a very relaxed, zen energy that was super reassuring for a high-strung millennial like me. Either they genuinely love their jobs or they are amazing actors, because they honestly seemed like they were having a good time and loved working together (the hallway chit-chat I overheard was so pure & sincere). I had never used movers before (the aforementioned trips, arguments, tears are all from firsthand experience) and now I have been spoiled and will probably use Absolute for every move for the rest of my days. They came in way under what I was quoted and even complimented my packing & organization 💁♀️ (again, the validation every high-strung millennial needs!). Everything arrived in the condition it left my old place in, from a 6’x4’ unframed wall mirror (essentially a huge sheet of glass, don’t ask me why I own it, I don’t know) right down to a rogue box of 4 wine glasses (just in the box I bought them in, no extra padding!). The cherry on top was that they were both super stoked for me at my new place, giving recommendations for food/drinks/activities in the area. You literally could not ask for more from a moving company. Phenomenal. Infinite stars for David & Ryan and the Absolute team. Will recommend to everyone I know. Book with them—it’s worth it.
We had a great experience with Cayden and Teagan. Move went very smooth.
Great move! Jessica with sales made organizing the move easy even though we didn’t know what we were doing. She was very helpful and able to arrange the whole thing remotely including a drop off of moving supplies. Then David, Bobby, and the crew showed up on time and made quick work of loading and unloading even though it was a long move and we had lots of irregular items. And they were so quick, it ended up a fair bit under the estimate which was a bonus. Thanks!!
Had such a great experience with this moving company! The guys were super friendly, helpful and worked so hard the entire time. They were really careful with all of my stuff and made the whole move so much easier and way less stressful for me. I really appreciated all their help and would definitely use them again. Highly recommend!
From the moment they arrived I could tell we were in good hands. The guys were friendly and handled everything carefully. Would absolutely recommend!
I've used Absolute four times over the last several years, and they continue to deliver! Ryan and Killian moved my toolbox earlier this week and managed to make lifting hundreds of pounds look easy. Kick ass job gents! Also, a shout out to Jessica in the office. She's always so helpful and delightful to speak with. Thanks again to the entire team at Absolute! 10 out of 10 recommend!
Great experience, organized, quick and friendly. Highly recommend.
Excellent service. Thank you!!
Todd, Tim and Omar were professional and more. They were punctual, friendly and accomadating. The fellows protected my hardwood flooring and covered my carpeting with moving blankets. The overrall team from front of house to the movers were great A job well done, with a good fair price.
We couldn’t have asked for a better moving experience. David and his team were efficient and incredibly careful throughout the entire move. Their attention to detail and work ethic was outstanding. We would highly recommend them!
Hired Absolute for two different business moves and had a great experience both times. Great crews, great staff and thorough estimates, all for very reasonable prices.
The team we had for our move was fantastic. It was a long day and the guys were in amazing spirits all day long. Friendly, respectful and easy to work with. The whole process, from getting the quote, to move day, was really well executed by the company. Would highly recommend them to anyone moving and wanting to feel confident in their movers.
Amazing Job!! Hard working, efficient, professional and friendly! I have moved with Absolute in the past and will again! Thank you!
Did a local move with Absolute moving and couldn’t be more happy. Showed up on time and were efficient and very friendly. Got everything done quickly without damage.
These guys were great! Very good communication, they showed up on time, had a reasonable price (charged what they quoted no surprises) overall I was very impressed. Would definitely recommend.
Moved out, stored for 6 weeks and moved in. Jessica was very responsive and organized and the 3 guys were efficient, strong and careful. Would recommend.
Edmonton - Exceptional communication, performance and integrity. Sean and Brandon eased the complexity and stressors of a sudden move. Great job!
Matt and Todd came to the job early worked their butts off & cause zero damage. A real pleasure to work with him on this move Moving sucks, but this team makes it much better.
We moved from BC to Okotoks AB. Max and the boys were so efficient, courteous and careful with our things. Everything had to be put in storage and then brought to our new home in Okotoks. Again the crew was great to work with. They worked hard to get our things out safely in their places even though at times we had them move the item to another location. They were very respectful and didn’t hesitate to do what we requested. We also had a great experience with Jessica the coordinator. She was so professional and pleasant to talk to and very efficient. Overall we had a great experience with Absolute Moving during a stressful time. Thanks again to the team for making our move that much easier.
The company did it a good job with answering my questions and all the follow-ups right to the moving day. Movers were on-time, professional and fast. They did a good job packing my furniture and getting my stuff out within the allotted window of time.
Matthew, Josh and Tim came and moved us to our new home. Great guys, great moving, very friendly and great customer service. Thanks to Jessica for scheduling us too.
We have had all kinds of experiences with moving companies in our lives, but this experience was BY FAR the best. Teagan and Caiden packed up my octagenarian parents' home carefully (each box space was maximized, each carefully labelled, everything paper wrapped no plastic which we appreciated, all furniture blanket wrapped), steadily (they worked the whole day, took 5 minutes for a water break, which they informed us of), quietly (no loud music, speaking quietly to each other when necessary but otherwise totally focused on their work), and tidied up after themselves when they were done. They were kind to my parents, asked them about their packing preferences when the situation required a choice, patient when we asked them the impossible question of "how much longer". They were easy to communicate with during the trip from Alberta to BC, they showed up on time at the destination, and Teagan and Connor worked effiently to stack boxes and set up furniture as per our requests. When a discrepancy about the quote and the actual charge came up, Tina their manager was quick to get ahold of, and straightened it out without any issues. It was the IDEAL move for older people, we couldn't have hoped for better. Thanks Absolute!
Absolute Movers moved my senior parents from Lacombe to Vancouver. Teagan, Caden handled the packing and moving with care, patience and speed and Tina oversaw it all and was always available for questions. A small issue on our final invoice was corrected immediately with no issue, and all in all great service start to finish!

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.

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.

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.

Additionally, our experienced packers are trained in proper handling techniques to minimize the risk of damage.

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.
