If I could rate a zero star I would. Do not trust these people with your credit card information and be aware there contract states YOUR responsible for any Tickets they may receive when there is a delivery due to there poor drivers, they will NOT honor their word and there staff is VERY rude, unprofessional and unethical they will also say a supervisor will call you back and a supervisor will never contact you.

My wife and I used Big Steel Box moving from Ontario to Red Deer Alberta. a major cross country move with a container. The experience from start to finish was fantastic. Perfect communication online and by phone. Kevin at the Red Deer location is excellent to work with, friendly, prompt and informative. We heartily endorse Big Steel Box for your moving needs.

5-star Google reviewKurtis G.2 years ago
Our Experience with BigSteelBox in Red Deer has been nothing but excellent right from the start of our move to finish. Doug, who dropped off our box was prompt and courteous and even waited a little bit while we loaded our last items before hauling it off to our new home. Such a smooth operation. Great work and I’ll be recommending your services! Cheers,
