In their own words
I do NOT recommend this company. Not only were they very slow, after spending the day with us, they missed grabbing everything on the side of the house. We didn't notice this until the following day and needed to rent a U-Haul and do two more loads. The most frustrating part was trying to talk to someone about a missing piece to our dining table and the damage to much of our furniture AND they over charged us AND didn't remove the deposit at the time of payment.
These guys are really dishonest. I spent around $2000 for this move and am now stuck with more in DAMAGES than that. I am really disappointed with this company. There were supposed to be 3 guys working (at $210/hour) but a lot of the time one of them was just hanging out, eating KFC etc, and chatting me up. And the other 2 took quite a few breaks and broke some of my stuff, and didn't tell me. After the job was done, I was walking around and noticed so many damages..
They made my moving experience hell. I hired them to move to make it less stressful. Instead they showed up late they worked supper slow to milk the time. I was quoted 6-8 hours and at 10 hours they were less then half done. They …
I don't know if these guys are any good or not and likely I won't ever know. I called last week to book a move and the person answering the phone was not helpful. She gave me an email to contact someone with more knowledge which I did. I am still waiting for a phone call back. Our realtor also called and he didn't get a call back either. I guess they didn't want our business but the movers we called instead sure did!

If I could leave less than one star, I would. Padded their bill (showed up to move us at 9, began billing at 8). Left over half our stuff at the old place (including most of our furniture). So now we have no beds to sleep in. Most of our household items (dishes, etc) were left. No kitchen table. NEVER HIRE THIS COMPANY!
Hi Amanda, Since Victoria neglected to pay the moving bill we can’t consider the claim at … More
Worst moving service and company ever. They give you all these so called cheaper rates but end up costing you a whole lot more with damages. And would want to impose an extra hour on you for no reason with the move as slow as it can …
I’m so sorry to hear about your move. I don’t have any records under your first or last name could it be under another name? I would be happy to assist you with a damage claim if it was us that moved you You can call or email me at [phone removed] or email [email removed] Thanks and have a great…
We were paying by the hour and number of guys - they sent 3 people who made sure they wasted as much time as possible. All day one of them stood around and watched the other two work - when the …
Hi Darlene, thanks for your input and I am sorry the move didn't proceed to your satisfaction. When I went to visit the loading residence the truck was almost full in 2.5 hrs. Six hours in total to move a 2-3 bdrm household including a piano in a full basement is not out of the ordinary for any…

In their own words
I was stressed out about moving all my office equipment to our new location, especially the computers and printers. Alberta Strong Movers handled everything carefully and made sure each item was secured properly before transport. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and finished earlier than expected. I’m very satisfied with the service they provided and would gladly recommend them to anyone planning a move.

Their staff are all super friendly. I have never experienced such a smooth and hassle free moving of my things. When I booked a moving service previously, a few of my things got some dents and scratches and I became very meticulous with choosing a moving service.
Hey Trick, thanks so much for the review! We completely understand being meticulous after dealing with scratches in the past—your things are important! It means the world to our Grande Prairie crew that we could earn your trust and give you a completely smooth, hassle-free move this time around.
Their communication was excellent from booking until the move was completed. The crew kept us informed and answered all of our questions along the way.
Hey Marion, thanks so much for the review! Clear communication makes all the difference on move day, so we're really glad to hear the team kept you in the loop and answered every question along the way. Hope you're settling in smoothly!
I had my apartment moved to another to another one and asked for Alberta strong movers to.come and move my furniture and other stuff for me .The moving team took great care of my items during the move. I was impressed to see how efficiently they loaded heavy desks and tables on the truck. Moving is a really stressful task but the crew of this Company have really given me peace of mind. Thanks for making my relocation an effortless task! Highly recommended
Hey Sammath, thank you so much! We are so glad we could help make your apartment move such a smooth experience. … More
