Booking, Pricing, and Policies

  • How do I book a moving service?

    Scheduling a moving service is a simple process. You can initiate your booking by visiting our website and filling out the contact form with necessary details, or by calling us directly to discuss your requirements. Upon receiving your request, one of our representatives will get in touch to confirm the details, provide you with a quote and finalize the booking process.

  • What factors affect the cost of my move?

    There are several variables that come into play when calculating the cost of a move. The primary factor being distance - if you're relocating within Calgary or embarking on a long-distance move across Canada will result in different pricing structures.


    Furthermore, size plays an integral role too; more items require more resources and time hence increasing costs. Another aspect to consider is special requirements: If there are large or delicate items like pianos and safes or hurdles like narrow hallways or multiple flights of stairs these could add to the overall price due to increased labor or special equipment required.


  • Are there any additional charges or hidden fees I should be aware of?

    We believe in transparent pricing which means all charges are stated upfront during the initial quote stage. No hidden fees, no surprises – that’s our commitment to you.


    However, it's important for customers to understand that certain circumstances could incur additional charges not initially included in the estimate. These might include situations involving unforeseen complexities during relocation such as access issues at new premises requiring extra labor time etcetera . As we're committed towards ensuring maximum satisfaction for our customers we ensure any potential changes are communicated promptly and transparently.


  • Are bookings flexible in case I need to change dates or times?

    Understanding that circumstances can sometimes change unexpectedly, we offer a certain degree of flexibility when it comes to altering booking dates or times. If you need to adjust your moving schedule, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible.


    Please note that while we always try our best to accommodate changes, it is subject to the availability of our resources and personnel at the new proposed time. We would appreciate receiving such information with ample time ahead so as not to disrupt other bookings and operations. 


  • What are your policies for cancellations or rescheduling?

    We understand that life happens and sometimes plans need to change – which is why we've incorporated a fair policy for cancellations and rescheduling in place.

     

    Should you need to cancel or reschedule your booked move, kindly inform us immediately so adjustments can be made on our end. Please note though certain conditions may apply depending upon how close the cancellation or rescheduling request is made in relation to the booked moving date.

    Also worth mentioning is that there might be small fees involved for cancellations especially if they're requested too close to the moving date but rest assured these are kept minimal.
