In their own words
Used them end of April 2023. Extremely disappointed with their service, MUST say WHEN booking the service follow up calls and emails every 2nd day. The final charges due were almost double, and they were very unprofessional members. Even their site supervisor admitted and agreed ON the spot that he would NOT charge all the hours which were wasted by the movers.
We are sorry that you had such experience Kamran, and can assure you that this is not the norm. Please give us a call at [phone removed], and we will be more than happy to rectify this. Thank you.
We booked Two Men and a Truck to help us move our household in a narrow but manageable window of time. The gentlemen who came were professional and worked fast. So for the actual moving part, I have no complaints. We were quoted $2,600 for this originally and paid it on September 30, 2022. We were told they would arrive between 9-10 AM. Instead, they arrived at 11:00 AM, packed until 2:30, then left. Even arriving late, they still had enough time to reach the new drop off destination before 5:00 PM.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! They quoted moving costs for me which was great, initially the customer service was great. Moving costs were well over $1000 so I expected to have great service. The movers showed up and were so slow that we had to go get our own moving truck and start moving alongside of them as we had to be out of our house by a designated time. They moved less then half of what was quoted but I was still charged for almost the entire move.
Hello Jennifer, We're very sorry to learn of your recent move experience. With a 96% referral rate, we can assure you this is not the norm. We will be sure to speak with our team to understand what happened during your move, and to ensure experiences like this no longer occur.
I would give them a zero if that was possible. The team of two that was sent for my move (3 bed 1 bath small house) was one young man, and one high school age boy, who have clearly never done this job before. They parked 2 houses away for some reason, and did not realize they could use the ramp until 4 hours into the move. They took 45 minutes to travel between locations, which are 6 minutes apart.
The movers were efficient and friendly. They did break a few items but were apologetic. They gave a minor credit to cover the broken items. I appreciate the gesture; however, it didn’t cover the cost of the broken items or the need to get my house professionally cleaned again. I specifically told the movers I’d just had the house professionally cleaned and carpets steam cleaned. They kept their shoes on (which I understand is more efficient) but said they would put down runners and pads.
Dear Cindy Lieu, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent move with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. We would like to clarify a few points regarding the concerns you raised. The damage claim you submitted was for items that were packed in totes without packing paper or bubble wrap protection.
The team that arrived were awesome, Noelle, Russell and Matthew did an amazing job. The negative part of this process is this. They were supposed to arrive at 9:00 am. I got a call from dispatch at 9:19 saying the driver had to stop for fuel and now on the highway and would arrive in 30 minutes. At 9:50 the driver called me and said he was in Edmonton getting fuel and would be 45 minutes. They finally arrived at 10:45, almost an hour later.
Hello Scott, we are sorry you had such experience on move day. We will be sure to address this, please feel free to call us at [phone removed] to discuss further. Thank you.
Movers were late, we were charged for a mattress bag when they didn't even move our mattress or bed at all. They complained about having to move so many things when in reality I was very upfront about what had to be moved (small furniture items, and some slightly larger), no boxes. Rather than carry some of the lighter items together, why not strap them to a dolly and bounce them down the stairs?
Hello Sara, we're very sorry to hear you've had this experience. With a 96% referral rate, we can assure you this is not the norm. We encourage you to contact us at [phone removed] so we may address this with you.
We had used this moving company to get our belongings into a storage locker. The movers were friendly, but I’ve never had so many articles damaged before. Furniture was only partially disassembled (the cribs 4 sides left as 2 L shaped pieces and hung over the edge of boxes long side hanging, unnecessary pressure on screws) and horribly packed in the locker. They tried to pick up a curio cabinet with the glass shelves still inside it, they later broke glass on a curio.
Hello Amy, we are sorry you have had such experience during your move, and can assure you that this is not the norm. Kindly contact us at [phone removed], and we will be happy to discuss this further. Thank you and have a great day!

In their own words
We recently moved and booked Two Men and a Truck to move our belongings. After booking, we had to postpone by a month and this was done quickly with one phone call with no questions at all. The company called a day prior to confirm the move and advised the crew would arrive at our home at the next morning. On moving day the crew called to advise they were leaving for our home and would arrive in 30 minutes. They arrived on time and took a quick tour of the home so they could plan their packing.
Thank you , Tim for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK was smooth and well organized from booking through move day.
I had used Two Men and a Truck before for a move but this time I had double the amount of stuff and was moving from an apartment to a house. I knew the elevator situation at my old apartment would be annoying for the movers but thankfully they had a system to make the move go as quickly as possible and had positive attitudes all day. Ibrahim and Mayuma were my movers and they did an excellent job- very kind, considerate of my belongings and the homes, and dedicated.
Sabrina, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with TWO MEN AND A TRUCK! We’re thrilled to hear that Ibrahim and Mayuma made your move from an apartment to a house smooth and stress-free, even with the elevator challenges.
Was wonderfully satisfied with these movers. I had many antiques and delicate artwork and furniture which was handled with the upmost care. I am a avid reader and book collector- movers moved over twenty bins of heavy books (heavy is an understatement). Movers were kind, courteous, funny, and very careful. No nicks or damages in walls or anything. I would 10000% recommend these services for anyone looking for movers. Not only did they perform the job wonderfully, they were also on time and under budget.
I booked Two Men and a Truck for a move of my home to another house within Edmonton, Spring 2022. Move went great, only a few blips (bed frame and book case wouldn’t fit stairwell try as they did). I only had minor scratches on a table which I didn’t wrap. Alex, Jason and Chad were all professional, courteous, had good senses of humour (which made move more pleasant) and were a hardworking crew. We had a long day so went over estimate but nothing one can do about that as I’m a lone person requiring help.
Hello Carmen, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We very much appreciate it. Have a nice day!
