Great movers. Saved us by stepping in when another mover did not show up. They were so friendly and helpful. Thank you

I recently moved from Summerside to Stratford. As someone recently widowed after 45 years of marriage I had a lot of stuff to deal with single handedly. The team from Affordable movers came in and were all so helpful and pleasant. I really felt I had a whole team on my side working for me. They made what I thought was going to be a very challenging and stressful experience into a very easy process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone.

We used this company to move us out of our last home & into our current home. The movers were fast, friendly & efficient. They moved us last week during the wild rain storm; covered our floors & stairs with large mats, and smiled the whole time. I’ve already recommended them to a lady at my gym. Well done, thank you!

I can't say enough good things about this company. I called in a pinch, and they worked very hard to get me moved out fast. I bugged them a lot on the phone, and they were very kind and empathic. When the movers came, I believe their names were Nick and Shane, they were the best lads anyone could ask for, and I feel lucky. I really do. They were so polite and professional, courteous and gregarious.
They were lovely to myself and my 72 year old mother. We didn't have to lift a thing. We had very valuable antique pieces of furniture and big pieces of art work, all of which meant a lot to our family
