The two guys who moved us today from Cranbrook to Fernie were the fastest humans Ive ever seen. They packed up our entire home in under and hour and off they went. Super affordable, very fast, and not a single item even had the slightest bit of damage. 11/10 fantastic

ZERO stars is what this pathetic excuse for a moving company deserves! Heed this advice, DON"T DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY! They are unprofessional, they do not give two flying figs about your possessions. One of the employees reeked of alcohol and they didn't wear masks.

My move out of province was handled by Williams Moving and Storage in Cranbrook. The movers arrived on time () and immediately set to work. Their attitude was friendly yet professional and I knew every piece of my belongings would be handled with care. Moving can be a stressful event but this company eased my mind and brought a comforting end to a special chapter in my life. My sincere thanks to everyone at Williams.

If I could give them 0 stars I would, they refuse to deliver our product from the home depot when we can be home, they have been very unprofessional. Would not recommend using this company.
