Day 1 - Moving out from Calgary, the team was great, very professional and skilled. Made it look so easy Worked very hard and diligently, but still had time to interact and ensure care was taken to move and pack. Day 2 - moving in Medicine Hat, crew arrived on time as stated. Different team but the two teams were very well coordinated and professional, everything was unloaded and placed as required. No breakage or damage and final cost was under the initial estimate. Big shout out on professionalism of both teams, my apologies I can only remember today’s team (my bad) - Choice, Shawn & Zack, all were heading back for more moves over the long weekend 😀

I hired Absolute Moving to provide packing and moving services for me. From the moment I connected with the representative who provided my quote, I knew I was in good hands. The guys that came were amazing and handled all my items with care. Everything was meticulously wrapped and packed, and extra care was taken with fragile and large items during the move. Everything arrived at my new home in the exact condition it was in prior to being packed. 10/10 service from the very start to the very end. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better company to assist with my move. I would definitely use Absolute Moving again, and have already recommended them to a couple friends who will be moving in the near future.

The crew from Absolute Moving & Delivery were great with our recent move. The team loaded the truck so fast, we were amazed at how quickly they cleared out our old house. Our new house has a lot of stairs and the crew did a fantastic job. We had a few extras that we added on and an unexpected extra trip the guys graciously did. The final amount was very close to the estimate. The extra charged was expected with the additional asks. Highly recommend!

"It can't possibly be 5 star still for their reviews", I foolishly said while looking up this company. Absolute Moving IS 5 star. Great crew that had a work ethic and level of care you don't see often. Stayed close to the quote but could get anything extra you needed sorted done.

Absolute moving was fabulous. In preparing for the move Amanda kept me informed and assisted in preparing the estimate. She continued to check in right up to the day before. My movers; Choice, Cole and Zac arrived right on time. They were efficient and extremely helpful in both loading and unloading. All 3 were so pleasant and polite. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of my day.

Absolute Moving are the ABSOLUTE BEST. I booked with them last minute to buy a piano on facebook marketplace. Their communication that night was prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. The day of the move, they were extremely kind, careful, and professional. The entire team were so awesome and the piano was delivered at cheaper than the estimated quote due to their fast work. They were also courteous of my landscaping at my house as they parked the truck. Amazing people.

I recently hired Absolute Moving to help me move my belongings from a storage locker to my new home. The 2 man crew was highly efficient, courteous and incredibly hard working. The inevitable of some mud happened on the carpet at the new home but the head office remedied the situation without any push back. Absolutely will use Absolute in the future! Highly affordable, hard workers and great communication all the way through. I've already shared word of mouth and will continue to do so. Thank you for making my move as seamless as possible!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have been moving with Peter for years and always had the most amazing experience! When he sold his moving company, I won’t lie—I was a little worried. But then he messaged me to say he was joining Absolute Moving & Delivery - Calgary, and ever since, they’ve been my go-to moving company! They’ve helped me through three moves (yes, three!) and have also moved multiple friends and family members. I even had the pleasure of having my home professionally packed by their team, and let me tell you—the ladies who came were nothing short of caring, efficient, and an absolute joy to be around. A special shout-out to Simon, who always goes above and beyond to find solutions and make every request feel possible. And my last move? A dream! Choice, Zach, and Cole were beyond professional, incredibly efficient, and so thoughtful throughout the whole process. We even finished ahead of schedule, all thanks to their hard work! I cannot recommend Absolute Moving & Delivery - Calgary enough. If you need a moving company that’s reliable, hardworking, and genuinely cares, this is the one! 🚛✨

I have had two great experiences with absolute moving. They were able to lift my couch through my third floor apartment building when it wouldn’t fit through the front door. They also accommodated a very last-minute move and we were pleasure to deal with. Ethan and Tristan recently helped me move and did a fantastic job. They were very fast to move my furniture to two different locations. Thank you, Ethan and Tristan!

From Parkland to Shawnessy: The movers were very polite, professional, and incredibly fast. I would 100% recommend them! Two guys with a 26ft truck handled everything efficiently, including dismantling all beds—even a complicated IKEA one. Moving a three-bedroom house took about five hours in total @ -25°C !!

They were professional, fast, and efficient, but most importantly, they handled my belongings with great care, ensuring nothing was damaged and no dents were left on the walls. This time, we had Resh, Tim, and Andrew, who were all highly professional and provided outstanding service. A special thanks to Andrew, as this was his second time helping us move.

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.
