Local move

I hired this company to come do my move as I sufferd a injury.
Had hired 3 men and a truck, was given a great rate, 3 wonderful men.
The hole move from start to finish was about 8 hrs.
Guys were great from start to finish, little tired by the end of our move,
But the guys were always in a good mood, made it alittle better on us.
This is a great company. Will use them again.

Moving

If moving is one of the most important events in our lives, according to Careful Movers, then they should act accordingly. I had the most horrible experience with this company and I moved a few times, I could compare experiences. I hired three people, only two showed up and only one worked. They did not wrap my furniture, they were careless with walls, railings, etc. They did not move my entire furniture, only the pieces they chose to move. I had to have my family over to help me move with a van.
Careful Movers were careful about one thing, to work as little as possible for as long as possible. Very disappointing experience.

Short notice booking, no prob

During the worst week of my family's life, these guys came through big time. They arrived on time, were respectful of rental property & the contents being moved. We were loaded in just over 2 hours & unloaded into storage unit in about 45 mins. Thankyou Careful Movers

Worst Movers Ever

This is without question the most incapable, incompetent and shady company I have ever had the misfortune of using. I wish I read the reviews on this site first! The movers showed up on time, which was great. To start off, we offered them fresh coffee as it was a chilly morning, they frequently used our washroom, all in all, not horrible. I was given a quote that the move shouldn't take more than 4 hours, much like a few other companies had quoted, and was expecting to pay about $700.

Unfortunately, when they came to unload my belongings, things were a totally different story.

When they came to unload, they slowed to a crawl, took frequent cigarette and bathroom breaks, and complained the whole time about heavy items, poor equipment provided by their boss, and whined they did not have any wheeled equipment to make things easier for them.

They dropped an extremely expensive Cherry Wood dining room table on its corner. It's damaged almost beyond repair. The movers at first denied any wrong doing at all.

Finally, they surprised me with the $ 450 damage claim processing fee. On top of this, they stated that the most they would repair would be $ 50 per item. I'm not sure who's logic works here but they expect me to pay in advance $ 450 dollars to maybe repair something they might have done up to $ 50?!

To add insult to injury, the movers cursed and swore when they left as I didn't offer them further refreshments. Now their boss (I can only assume) is sending me nasty and disrespectful e-mails commenting on my lack of intelligence, my inability to understand a simple contract, etc.

Never use these people!! Save yourself the grief and aggravation!!

Also, it's legally 1442742 Alberta Ltd. and they have a sub company website called Alberta Movers, so be wary of the trade names they may try to hide behind.

I have all the e-mails from this delightful person, and photos of the damage, and will gladly forward them to anyone who asks. $ 1167 paid for brutal service, hideous after sale support and a rude string of e-mails.

$1,167.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Don't hide the small print - ensure your clients know you have hidden small print on the rear of your contract that you kept hidden till time to collect payment came.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Stay away. Far, far, away.

crosstown move Jan 29

Sorry I'm so late in thanking you for sending Nick & Scott to move us recently.

They were so efficient & professional but at the same time so much fun and funny!
They turned what is not an enjoyable task into a really fast & fun day!

We'll recommend you and your team any time we get the opportunity.

I finally stowed the last of the contents of the boxes yesterday. Was not as easy a task getting it all stashed into an accessible and convenient spot as it was moving the boxes in but we are now "home."

Thanks again, Connie & James

What could this company do to improve their services?
Can't think of a thing - unless they want to expand into home organization and help you unpack all the boxes !
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Just let them run the show - they are the experts! They knew what they were doing from start to finish. We just watched "efficiency in action!"

Residential moving from Calgary to Vancouver

Careful Movers were hired to move our house from Calgary to Vancouver. The worst experience ever. Some of the furniture was broken and the remainder of the households have not been delivered (it's been 6 months). Have tried to settle the issue with the company, but none of my emails or voice mails have been returned. Claim to the Court is underway against Careful Movers Calgary.
