In their own words
This company was very unprofessional, including. not on time. smoking while working. smelling like marijuana. playing loud music while they’re in and out of the house, making off colour comments about what I was taking in the truck. when I got to my destination and had a different company unpacking. There were numerous things that were broken or ruined, including a metal trunk. The whole corner was crushed, and I cannot even open it to see what the damage is inside.
Hi Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your 5-star review and for sharing your positive experience with Two Small Men with Big Hearts Moving Company! We're thrilled to hear that our team was professional, transparent with costs, and delivered on our promises.
MAKE SURE TO INVENTORY YOUR GOODS!!! And have someone carefully monitor what actually goes on and off the truck. Hired this company for our recent long haul move because of 3 previous great experiences. This time was a bust. They were so ill-prepared at the move-out end that we ended up doing a good part of the move labour ourselves. Not why we paid “professional movers”. In addition to that, the crew arrived super late, so most of the move-out happened in the dark onto a truck with no lighting to speak of.
In July my daughter had this company move her from a condo in Edmonton to her new house a few blocks away and had no issues. However in August I had another crew move my belongings from a condo in Edmonton to my daughter's new house and there were damages to walls, stairway and ceiling. There was also a light fixture in the bedroom that was damaged when bed was being assembled which was not noticed until the crew left.
It can be challenging in some cases to avoid damages due to access restrictions, such as difficult stairways, doorways, elevators, sharp turns; tight squeezes; snags and sharp edges; low ceilings; narrow corridors; over-crowded work areas; short walls; railings, or movement of goods that are of…
Hired this company to move a fridge for me, I specifically asked them for white glove delivery (dolly the fridge into place, remove garbage and basically ready to plug in for my customer). The fridge was delivered with all the wrapping on it and left on the skid. It was also damaged, but I can't confirm that was them or not, which is fine I don't like to pass blame, it could have got damaged in transit from ON to AB.
Hi Travis, are you able to send me an email at [email removed] to discuss your concerns?
This was the worst experience of my life. While moving out the lead man drank beer and smoked a joint in front of us and my neighbours. He was very hyper and excitable, which made me uneasy. I had a big piece of art that I did not want them moving as it’s so fragile. That same man decided to take it down from the wall and pack it without telling me. After they drove away, I realized they had taken it and I called the driver with concerns.
Hi Kriss, are you able to send me an email at [email removed] to discuss your concerns?
During my move the movers were careless with my things and tried to shove my couch through a narrow opening in my kitchen, causing damage to my wall. The older of the two employees just shrugged it off, saying they were insured as if that makes it fine to be reckless with a customer's property. He said I could call their after care line to arrange for repair to the wall.
Hi Christina, are you able to send me an email at [email removed] to discuss your concerns?
We recently had a very disappointing experience with this moving company. Our original moving date was scheduled for Monday, May 26. However due to a change in possession date, we had to move on Tuesday, May 27. When we informed the company, they assured us they could still move our belongings on the original date (May26) and HOLD them overnight-for a cost of around $750 including the holding fee/storage fee.
Hi Flor R., I'm Andrew Giguere, the Director of Operations for Two Small Men with Big Hearts. I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. Please contact me directly at [phone removed] so we can address your concerns and find a resolution. Thank you, Andrew
Three movers arrived on time and were friendly, professional, and respectful of our home. They used floor mats to protect the floors and wrapped our furniture before moving it, which we appreciated. However, we were unexpectedly charged an additional $120 for the wrap and pads, plus $3 for tape, despite confirming during the estimate call that wrapping was included. I double-checked the emailed estimate, and there was no mention of these extra charges. Unfortunately, a major issue occurred during the move.
Thank you for your feedback and for bringing these matters to our attention. We’re pleased to hear that our movers were professional and respectful. However, we're sorry about the unexpected charges and the incident with your treadmill.

In their own words
We booked Two Small Men with Big Hearts to help with our move on Saturday, May 17. Our crew was Vasyl, Yaroslav, and Ihor. My partner and I have nothing but good things to say. The crew called to let us know they were on their way and actually showed up 10 minutes early for the quoted time. They were thorough in communicating what we needed to do and immediately got to work.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that Vasyl, Yaroslav, and Ihor provided you with an exceptional moving experience. It's great to know that they were punctual, efficient, and handled your belongings with such care.
10/10 recommend Ihor and his guys. They were thorough, super organized, took great care of everything, and by some Tetris miracle were able to pack everything in the truck. They were all lighthearted and funny and think we all had a good time despite moving chaos. They came in $600 under the quote, nothing broken. We moved 17 hours from Chilliwack to Fort Mcmurray and they arrived before we did! There was a blizzard the next morning and they were flexible on time so I could shovel before they came.
I recently hired Two Small Men With Big Hearts to move my belongings and furniture from downtown Edmonton to Kelowna, and I was extremely pleased with the service. Steve, the lead mover, did an excellent job. He was personable, friendly, and clearly confident in his role. He worked quickly and efficiently, showing a real sense of urgency and commitment throughout the entire process.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Steve, Guy, Ethan, and Art are delighted to have made your move from Edmonton to Kelowna smooth and efficient.
Two Small Men With Big Hearts Moving gave us SUCH a positive experience with our long distance move. Right from my initial contact, they were very accommodating with our booking. As well, they kept in contact several times leading up to our moving day, which I really appreciated. AND, they came in much lower on the quote, with no hidden fees or surprises. Very honest and straightforward. The pick-up crew really hustled hard, yet were careful with our belongings.
