The rating breakdown

Worked out from 20 ratings. That is enough to publish but few enough that one more review moves it noticeably, so read it as a hint rather than a measurement.
Against other listings in Nanaimo
29.0 percentage points higher than the middle of the 20 listings in Nanaimo we can publish a rate for.

In their own words
Once they receive your furniture they will hold it hostage as they change the price of your move and won't work with you at all unless you pay in full. The owner refuses to return calls and several items went missing and are damaged. Would highly recommend avoiding this company at all costs and use someone who is more reputable.
Edited September 2022. I neglected one very important thing. One of the movers had left 2 specific items on my dads wall and when I noticed, I asked why where they not packed? He nervously stated that they were next and I watched as he packed them. There was a small indiginous colorful mask and a pair of cowboy boots that were etched into a 9 x 11 piece of rustic wood. Those two items were never seen again. They should have been in the top of the box I watched him put them in.
Allied Van Lines/ All Canada Movers was a nightmare. We had precious items and family heirlooms packed and shipped from BC to ON. These items barely had any wrap around them, were stuffed into boxes and upon arrival in ON were broken into …
Worst ever!! Thousands of dollars worth of my possessions lost out of their supposedly safe and secure storage, with no explanation, no excuses, and no compensation. Choose someone else!
Driver of body job highway 5 south slow driving intill being passed then speeds up on truck ..would not haul my furniture across street

In their own words
The move was very calm, as moves go, the movers were professional and reassuring. I really felt safe with then around my belongings. They were very helpful, quick and careful. Also I found them kind and mannerly. My clothing was hung nicely and neatly in good size clothing boxes to keep them clean and in order. Everything was in good shape and accounted for when it was received at the other end of my move.
We have used All Canada Moving twice for moving in the Vancouver and Nanaimo areas. Used them the second time because of the professionalism and efficiency they demonstrated during our first move (which included an extremely heavy player piano!) and we were very satisfied both times. Friendly and capable guys who aim to please the customer. The poor reviews that I see are probably because of moves originating from places other than Nanaimo. The local Nanaimo crew are great!
Adam, Doug, and TJ were curteous, careful, and effecient on on our recent move from a house to a condo within Nanaimo. Every item was wrapped and handled as if all was fragile. They disassembled and reassembled some lager furniture …
Very happy. The two men that moved me were quick and courteous. They left no mess and checked with me regarding placement etc. I'm a very happy customer and have no reservation about recommending them.
