In their own words
I would strongly encourage anyone considering Let's Get Moving to carefully research their options before booking. I chose this company despite their higher pricing because I needed a quick move after my home sold unexpectedly fast. My belongings were being moved into multiple storage units while I waited for possession of my new home. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing.
UPDATE: Your move happened while under the care of the previous ownership; this branch is currently under new ownership. Thank you for your feedback. While we respect every customer's right to share their experience, we feel it is important to clarify several inaccuracies in this review.
Waited for an hour . Finally called to see where they were . Gave me the run around. Took an hour to figure out what the problem was . Their mistake . Showed up 4 hours later .Had a hard time finding our location /communication challenges. Wanted to charge me an extra 150 bucks for milage . I would not recommend.
Hello Donna, this branch has never showed up to any move 4 hours late; this review is for the wrong business. This is an off topic/SPAM review. Please reach our customer support team with any concerns you may have by calling [phone removed] ext 820. LGM CALGARY
3 guys took 11 hours to do what 2 guys did in half the time months earlier. They scratched the China Cabinet and chipped the coffee table and didn't have the balls to tell us about it. They were extremely rude and drank our milk.
Dear Eric, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that your move did not meet expectations and that you encountered damage to your furniture, delays, and unprofessional behaviour from our team.
After reading all the reviews, maybe I was the only one that got inexperienced staff.... If this is your first time booking, here's something to pay attention to: - We got charged for the wrong hours: booked for 1PM, they came at 1:44PM. Finished at 3:45PM - They sent me an invoice of 3hours and 15 minutes. When asked, they said they charged for the driving time BUT there was another driving time fee which was $90 already added in lol.
Poor communication, slow service and they will overcharge you. I was thankful that I was able to book so quickly with them but they did not deliver the ‘professional service’ that was promised. They moved what was clearly bags of garbage, and when transporting items into the new place, they stacked the furnace room of all places full of items.
Hello Cynthia, we are truly sorry to hear of your experience. Please note that deposits are deducted from the total invoice/bill; we do not refund deposits so it is easier for our customer and you simply pay the remaining balance for services rendered.
I have read your response. You noted a considerable compensation was given to me. NOT THE CASE If you let the public know how difficult it was to get any compensation from Lets get moving. From the numerous phone calls and emails and finally offered $275 from Lets get moving for the amount of damage we had was ridiculous. I had an estimate for $472.50 to just repair a broken chair leg and hutch that was sent to lets get moving.
Hello Bill, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the damage that occurred during your move — especially to such meaningful items like your antique hutch and chairs, which clearly hold great sentimental value.
I'm torn as to how to approach this review. On one hand, it was so nice to have our house moved and the heavy furniture dealt with but on the other hand I can't say I'm completely satisfied with the experience. Let me first say, the team was friendly, on time and worked hard through the whole process, and the price was reasonably close to what was quoted. However there were some issues I had with the process.
Hello Brendan, thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience. We truly appreciate your acknowledgment of the team's punctuality, work ethic, and the overall coordination on moving day.
Unfortunately, our experience with Let’s Get Moving Calgary was extremely disappointing. We were charged $299/hour for “1 truck, 4 crew.” One of the four movers left before the rest of the crew was finished, and the move itself was not completed. After they left, we still had enough belongings remaining that we had to make approximately six loads in our Jeep Patriot with the seats folded down and another four trunk loads in our Chevrolet Malibu ourselves.
Thank you, Tyson, for the 5-star review! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you chose Let’s Get Moving Calgary. We’re always here to provide professional and reliable moving services in Calgary!

In their own words
Our experience with Let's Get Moving was excellent. They were able to book us in with our short timeline and our movers, Harwinder and Kati, were super professional, hardworking, and efficient. They took very good care of all of our belongings and fragile items, and wrapped everything that had even the slightest possibility of damage in blankets. They were very careful in both properties and we we're amazed that they managed to move all of our heavy/awkward items without even a scratch on the walls.
These were so great in so many ways. They were punctual, super friendly, and great communication leading up to moving day and during moving day. I had a complicated move and they were just fantastic with the plan and then executing. You are probably wonder why the 4 stars, there was a few things. They didn’t use runners through the houses, chose to take their shoes on and off, which not only adds time but makes it harder on them.
Savraj and Manjinder were super helpful and moved my whole house within no time. These guys are super helpful, fast and hardworking. The furniture was protected and kept in great condition throughout the whole moving process. Best moving experience in Calgary. Fast and great price.
AMAZING, FAST & FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE! My partner and I went on a whim and booked with Let’s Get Moving after coming across them on Google. We were moving from a townhouse with two big flights of stairs to a detached family home about 15 minutes away. We handled most of the small things ourselves, but we needed help with our big, heavy, awkwardly-sized furniture.
“Wow, thank you for the amazing review! 😄 We’re so glad Harry and the team could make moving your vintage and heavy furniture a smooth, worry-free experience. It means a lot to hear that our attention to detail, careful handling of fragile items, and friendly communication stood out.
