Great experience with Absolute moving we had no issues & the guys went above & beyond to make sure we were happy with their service highly recommend
Even though we didn’t end up using them do to my boyfriend wanting to go with his past movers, the customer experience given by Jessica was amazing I would recommend them just based on that. She was super helpful, followed up with me to make sure everything was clear, and was super polite. The company is lucky to have her!
Amazing customer experience start to finish. Our day-of movers could not have been nicer humans and super professional/incredible service. 100% recommend.
I had Teagan and Ryan help me with my move today and it was seamless! Everything from quoting, to being flexible with my date moves, and following up to get all of the right details, it was a great moving experience. This is actually the second time I have used this company — can’t recommend them enough! Thanks guys.
This was a great move! Shaun, Connor, and Max treated our belongings with care and respect, wrapping our antiques and ensuring everything was delivered to the right rooms in the new house. They were also personable and hilarious, and they kept us laughing all day. I would highly recommend this company.
Thank you Matthew and Josh for your hard work - I sincerely appreciate you moving us today - your positive energy is infectious!
Josh and Matthew and team were exceptional in every way. They took such good care of my furniture and refused to stop until the job was done. I was impressed with how much pride they take in their job. First class movers. 5 stars!
Friendly and personable crew, good customer service from administrative side, and the moving crew was a fun bunch to work with. They worked hard, minor issues were resolved in a timely manor. Thanks for your help with our move!
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.
Absolutely love the moving company the guys are very respectable very helpful and take most of the stress away. I would recommend them
CAUIS and MAX were amazing! Great guys who worked hard and got the job done. Super grateful for them helping with our move!! Would recommend them to everyone!
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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a really great experience, thanks to Zack, Tristan, Cole, and Choice! The guys were on-time, ready to work, and were very professional and easy-going. They worked extremely hard, even with all the curve balls I threw at them, and they made the process enjoyable for us. We were over our original estimated quote but that had everything to do with the sheer underestimation I had of the amount of our stuff, and nothing to do with the work ethic of the team. The guys worked efficiently and were so accommodating. There's nothing that a pink edition red bull + this group of guys couldn't do!
Absolute Moving Crews in Calgary were hired to empty and move in our household contents from shipping containers in July, 2026. We moved from Ontario to Calgary. The crews arrived on time on 2 move-in dates. They worked very efficiently and were polite and professional on both moving dates. The 2nd day they sent an extra person at no added cost to make up for the first day in which they sent 3 instead of 4 crew members. We will hire them again for our next move if it works out.
Great job by Ryan and Teagan…. They worked hard at loading and unloading all my belongs safely! Wonderful personalities and hard workers, wonderful customer Service.
Guys were on time polite and worked well office staff were also great
Excellent service at a reasonable price. The guys were not only courteous and helpful, but they took great care to ensure everything arrived at the new location without any new scratches or dents. I would not hesitate to use Absolute again.
Great experience, organized, quick and friendly. Highly recommend.
From the assessment and quote through to packers and the moving team, a wonderful experience. Every person was so positive, customer-centric and efficient. You can tell this crew genuinely like each other - and what a difference that makes to a long moving day. Best move i have ever experienced.

Zack and Cole did an awesome job packing and unloading. Very polite and respectful. Other than missing the shelves for my bookcase, everything else was professionally done.
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.
Exceptional service! The team was friendly, respectful, efficient and communicated great! I would highly recommend!
Absolute moving did a great job. Kayden and Teagan were professional, took good care our belongings, were friendly, and efficient! Highly recommend this company.

The two guys Daniel and Sean did a fantastic job. They were efficient, friendly and took great care with my furniture and possessions. I couldn't be more happy. Highly recommend Absolute Movers.
Best movers in the city. Friendly, quick, and efficient. Thanks for the help guys!
Excellent service! Quick, efficient, friendly. Highly recommend!
Kudos to Shaun, Todd, Tim and Gavin for an efficient, cautious, and well done move to our new home. Great service.
Our good friends recommended Absolute Moving & Storage after having a great experience, and I’m so glad they did! Brinn was wonderful about following up and checking in to make sure we were ready for moving day. Cayden and Charlie moved all everything left in our home (mostly large furniture and heavy bins) into our C-can in under five hours. They supplied mattress bags and offered to even take away the garbage. The pricing was great too. Moving is a lot, and they made this part feel so much easier. We’re so grateful and would happily recommend them!
Thank you Umar and Killian for your help in moving our apartment. We appreciate your hard work, communication and timely service
Absolute Moving was incredibly accommodating and patient with me throughout the entire process. My belongings were handled with so much care and arrived at my new apartment safely and in perfect condition. I even had to leave my things with them overnight, which I was initially a little worried about, but they completely put my mind at ease. Everything was returned exactly as I had left it. The movers were great: fast, respectful, professional, and very efficient. The whole experience made what could have been a stressful move so much easier. Highly recommend Absolute Moving. 10/10! ⭐️
Great reviews and they have storage capabilities. Made moving for my Dad during a difficult time so easy, so we could focus on him. Absolute took care of everything! A++++ So professional and made everything so easy!
We had a great moving experience. Matthew, Josh, Ryan and Tim were fantastic. They were so attentive to the details, worked well as a team and were friendly, communicative and respectful. I would definitely recommend this company. It was a long day and included a second location which they did without hesitation. The day ended on a great note, time with farm animals. 😃
Thank you Tina and Jessica for your prompt reply and follow up regarding the quote request. Max, Tristan and Zach were exceptional, professional and extremely efficient. Highly recommend Absolute Moving and Storage.
Amazing moving crew made my move go smooth. I requested them to arrive earlier then previously scheduled and they were able to accommodate. I could see them be efficient while still being careful with items and not to hit walls as they moved around. Quote was realistic and I paid what I expected. Would highly recommend to anyone moving.
Wonderful team that worked so efficiently and was transparent with everything from their rates to the extent of their services. Will definitely call on them again! Thank you!
Worked with Todd vidim kayden and caius They moved us professionally and spent long hours completing the job. All the time maintaining excellent customer service
We've used Absolute Movers for the 2nd time in a few years and they did not disappoint, still affordable and exceptional service. Zack, Cole, and Ducky were Rockstars moving our heavy furniture with efficiency and without damage. I hope we don't move again for many many years but if we do I would definitely use Absolute Movers again!
Had a heavy sofa and loveseat to be moved within our home. Absolute movers had the best price and the movers were friendly and got the job done carefully. Thank you so much!!!!
On time- worked super hard and completed the move quickly. Was super happy with the entire process from the quote until the end.
We had an excellent experience with Absolute Movers. This was our first time hiring professional movers instead of handling a move ourselves, and it was absolutely worth it. Shawn, Connor, and David were fantastic throughout the entire process. They were professional, attentive, careful with our belongings, and made sure everything was handled properly. Moving is usually such a stressful and exhausting experience, but they made the entire day feel surprisingly relaxed, organized, and even enjoyable. I also want to thank Jessica, who helped coordinate our appointment. She was very organized, responsive, and on top of everything, even though I was admittedly difficult to reach in the days leading up to the move. I really appreciated her patience and follow-through. Overall, we were extremely happy with the service from start to finish and would absolutely recommend Absolute Movers to anyone looking for a professional and reliable moving company.
We had Todd, Sean and Jesse move our house today and they were AMAZING. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 They were on time, professional, careful, and worked so hard to get our move done. They also stayed late and put our furniture together. I can't say enough good things!!
The entire experience, from arranging the move with Aaron, to being introduced to the exceptionally friendly and helpful sales associate Brinn, was excellent. When the three movers arrived, they were eager to begin the work. My wife was quite stressed on moving day, and they were very accommodating during the unloading process. They ensured safe access to the house without disturbing our new neighbors. We had a significant amount of items going into our basement, and the movers had absolutely no complaints whatsoever. They maintained a positive attitude with smiles and jokes throughout. I would definitely hire them again and will wholeheartedly recommend this crew and the entire team at Absolute at any time. Thanks again Tim, Charlie &Caden
Josh and Matthew were fast, careful and friendly. They took a lot of the stress out of the move and were less than other quotes we got. I would hire them again!
Another great move with Absolute Moving! Highly recommend this company for moving! Today Shawn and Killian came and helped me move and while it was a short distance it was made more difficult by 30 units all moving in the same day, construction crews and teeny tiny elevators. Big thank you also to Tina for helping me with possible storage options and pricing and Brinn for rescheduling a move due to missed occupancy. The team once again made a very stressful move feel smooth and quick. Thank you guys!

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.

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.
