After a string of terrible movers in the past I had the pleasure of use moving with Movex these gentlemen made my move so easy and stress free. Well these guys arrived on time and worked hard all day even it was raining but they didn't even once stop or slow down, they worked so hard, were so friendly and professiona, they took time to wrap anything they felt like required and carried allof my belongings with a clear sense of pride in their job i would definitely call them again if I'm moving again. Thanks for such a wonderful job guys.

I had hired these people to move, and they are very professional, they took care of my items without breaking any of my fragile items, I would highly recommend this company for my friends and family and anyone looking for a moving company.

I recently used Movex to relocate from Salmon Arm to Cochrane, AB, and they were excellent! I did a ton of research before I chose a company, and even considered doing it all ourselves as there were so many horror stories out there about these nefarious movers, but when Movex called with a really competitive quote, I thought I'd take the plunge... Of all the companies I contacted they were the ONLY ones who took the time to stop by my house and give me a quote - and when their estimate turned out to be inaccurate (I had a bit more stuff than they thought!) they were willing to negotiate the final price and not use any strong-arm tactics at all... More than that, the fellows that loaded and unloaded the truck were super careful and respectful, and they stored my items on the truck as-is during the 6 days between our move out and possession dates, so nothing was damaged or lost. The level of service AND the price were fantastic and I would absolutely use them if we ever move again!

Advantage Movers helped with our recent move within Calgary. I found them through a Google search and thought the $89/hour special rate for two movers was reasonable, based on qoutes I had received from other moving companies. I also thought they had decent reviews for their previous work. The front-end set up process went rather smoothly and I felt Kellan handled it all professionally - he even called a day before to confirm arrangements for the following day as promised. On said moving day, however, Adam and Steve showed up about 20 minutes late but in all did a good job. One down side to their equipment is that they use a truck and trailer, which can pose a challenge with parking and not infringing on your neighbour's spcae. I felt they could have been quicker with loading; as a result I and a couple of friends personally carried stuff into the new place during offloading to save time. They took smoke breaks but did not charge me for those and they postponed eating lunch until we had offloaded, given that my new place was only 10 minutes from the old place. That saved time. Unfortunately, they damaged one standing fan during the move and offered to take $20 off my bill. All-in-all, I think they are decent, honest guys who do a good job and in appreciation of that, I paid for their lunch for the day. Nobody is perfect, neither is there a perfect system or organization. I have not had much experience with a lot of moving companies, but from stories I have heard, these guys did an ok job.

I had a within Calgary move and Kellan & his guys made it as smooth as possible. They were polite, friendly, and efficient. I found them on Yelp and I'm glad I did.

I went with Advantage Moving when moving from our 1-bedroom condo to a house. I paid for a crew of two guys, for $85/hour. They don't start charging until they arrive at your house which is better than most moving companies, from what I've heard. They were willing to move on a Sunday which was good. They were about 15 minutes late showing up, but I didn't mind as I was a little late myself. The guys were friendly and said we were well prepared. They properly dealt with floor runners and everything. I felt that these guys were a little slow, and I'm not sure why. They said a 1-bedroom place normally takes 3 to 3.5 hours, but ours took 5.5 hours. I needed the to pick up some stuff at one house, then go our condo and take everything there, so that first trip took up 1 hour. Still, they were 1 hour slower than expected. The unloading went much faster than the loading, and they were willing to accomodate my request for certain things to be dropped off in the garage. One of the movers put a knee through the back of my IKEA bookcase (you know that cheap wood stuff). They took $25 off my total for this mistake. Overall, I thought Advantage was pretty decent. I was surprised by how long it took (and therefore how much it cost) and disappointed by the hole in the bookcase, but stuff happens when you move. It's worth noting that they only accepted cash so we had to have lots on hand.

What can you say about movers? Assuming all your stuff gets there, and none of it's broken, then it's a job well done, right? Advantage Movers moved some things for me last week (I chose them based on their Yelp recommendation and good Better Business Bureau rating). The guys were about twenty minutes late showing up, but they did move things quickly. The moving process has had lots of random people in my new house (the cable guy, the carpet cleaners, delivery people, etc.) and these guys were probably the least creepy of the lot- they didn't ask me a bunch of personal questions or make me feel uncomfortable. The job was done in an appropriate amount of time and paying with cash or cheque was easy. I certainly don't have a reason to complain, but in reality this Advantage Movers provided the basic level of service that we SHOULD be able to expect from any movers (if only...).

I just hired Advantage Moving to move some large pieces of furniture and I have nothing but great things to say about them. We had a very last minute move requirement and had to do it REALLY early on a Wednesday morning and I am SO thankful that my frantic Google search led me to their web page first. Advantage was accommodating, punctual, efficient, friendly and professional and their rates were incredibly reasonable. I've had some really horrible experiences with moving companies, so i'm really happy to have found a reliable company that I feel comfortable calling again and referring to friends. I will definitely be using them for all of my future moves.
