Arrived in Fort Mc Murray a day early, good thing we were ready for them. They were very efficient during their job and quite cheerful when doing it. Job well done and the driver of the truck was awesome.

We originally booked from a different moving company that only resulted in mishap due to horrible communication. When we asked Great Canadian Van lines for a same day move the experience was great. They said that they could do same day moves, and they indeed show up on the same day. They were very professional and friendly, fast and efficient. Honest and trustworthy compared to the last company. Way better than others, highly recommended.

Great Canadian Vanlines not only arrived on time they were very courteous and friendly. I especially like the way they handled my boxes and furniture. They were very careful it was like they were moving their own stuff. It was a great experience.

Hi Marylou,

I understand that there were concerns about the truck arriving on time due to the terrible winter driving conditions, great to hear your driver made it through safely and on time.

I would highly recommend Great Canadian Van Lines. They were professional, kind and courteous. They took care of our belongings. They made sure everything was accounted for. I really liked how they checked the items, that’s great. They came in and used runner carpets to make sure nothing gets damaged. They clean up after themselves. No scratches on furniture or paint, took good care of the surroundings. Took good care of the products and household going in and coming out.

Move from Toronto to Vancouver

I recently used Tender Touch / Great Canadian Vanlines for a move from Toronto to Vancouver

They were over 3 hours late at pickup (no call)
The delivery was 5 days late, again, they never call and keep you informed. It always requires a call to them, they never return calls. Had to ask several times for a discount on the late delivery, no apology from company.

Several items were broken, items that were disassembled at collection were not put back (which we had to do)

As a final insult, they charged my credit card 2x, which I had to call several times about to get resolved.

Don't use these guys!

Your company recently relocated me from Coquitlam, BC to Ancaster, ON. My furniture arrived yesterday and I just wanted to tip my hat to Steve and his helpers on both ends.

Steve is prompt, polite and a joy to deal with. In both Coquitlam and Ancaster, I was alone with him and his partners and felt 100% comfortable. They went above and beyond the call of duty and were an absolute pleasure to deal with in a stressful cross country move.

You are lucky to have people like Steve, Tim and "Shaggy" represent your company and I trust you will give them their due praise.

A satisfied customer.

Great experience! One of the best ever! They arrived perfectly on time and were on schedule, the guys unloading the furniture were very friendly. Exactly what was promised, professional set up. Brilliant customer service. Phillip was of great help. Great deal of pleasure working with them, if I ever need to move again, I’ll use Great Canadian Van Lines.
Simply the Best!
