We moved from SoCal to Calgary in November, and chose to go with Trans Canada Movers because we were impressed by how responsive they were when we were obtaining quotes for the move. Throughout the entire process, Mike & the rest of the TCM team were courteous and informative. Our stuff got stuck in Vancouver due to the heavy rains and flooding, and they were good about updating us whenever we called in. Thank you, Mike & team, for your great customer service!

My husband and I called Trans Canada Movers inquiring about moving fees and scheduling. We were concerned about a trustworthy company. We spoke with Jake, the Sales Agent and we were impressed with his skills and expertise. Jake informed us as to the cost of transporting our personal and household items, scheduling and pickup and drop off services. Jake was very polite, courteous and professional. We appreciate him for easing our minds. Thank you, we appreciate you!

Trans Canada movers were great to work with - I moved from Vancouver to Washington recently. They were quick & efficient at pick up, really responsive when coordinating the dates & location of the move. And their delivery & delivery people were top notch. Loved working with Conor who patiently answered all my questions through email & on phone. Overall, would recommend them to everyone.

My experience with Trans Canada Movers was excellent. They handled everything professionally in preparation for the transportation of my belongings from Vancouver to Los Angeles all while I was already in California. Great service, I was amazed how quickly my belongings arrived and the costs were less than I expected.

Edit: see original review below, here is an update
Mike got back to me last week, after being made aware of my concerns regarding the weight of the truck and the broken items. Once I provided proof from my last movers that even prior to discarding several large items my truck weight had only been 2700lbs, they were willing to consider that there had been perhaps error in weighing my items. They tried to find the scale weights but had been unable to, so we agreed upon a weight of 2500lbs. They wound up giving me a refund of several hundred dollars accordingly. I do have to say that this did impress

First time using movers or moving away from immediate family. Pretty stressful so granted it's not easy. The process, in the end, wasn't so bad - all the stuff got to us. The reason I'm giving 2/5 is because the communication could of been better, was charged for boxes I didn't know I would need, and 3 items had to be left behind even though I was reassured 2x there was enough room (picture attached of the room that the truck with 3 boxes of our stuff loaded so far, just shows how much room they left for us - lol). I had items that I taped together, bubble wrapped like crazy, or just had a label
