Long-distance move from Uxbridge, ON to Rideau Park, AB

Excellent job

It’s rare to find a moving crew that combines speed with genuine care. They treated my belongings like their own, padding and protecting every piece. They kept me updated on timing and progress the whole way. Even my fragile dishes arrived without a single crack. The energy they brought to the day was contagious. I’d book them again in a heartbeat!

Long-distance move from Alberta to Northwest Territories

Reliable and professional

From start to finish, the move felt surprisingly stress-free. The team was polite, efficient, and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable with the plan. Every piece of furniture was wrapped and handled so carefully. Even the tight stairways didn’t slow them down one bit. They really brought a sense of professionalism and calm to the day. HIGHLY impressed with how it all turned out!

Truly professional movers

Exceptional service from start to finish! The booking process was smooth, and the team showed up on time, ready to work. They brought extra packing supplies and handled my electronics with extreme care. Their loading techniques kept everything secure, even during a longer drive. I appreciated how they communicated at each step of the move. When it came to unloading, they didn’t waste a minute. Truly professional movers who care about doing a great job!

Long-distance move from Fort Erie, ON to Miramichi, NB

Great job!!!

I had never hired movers before, so I didn’t know what to expect. The crew showed up with tools, blankets, and a clear plan. They wrapped my coffee table and bed frame like pros. Every box was labeled by room. The movers were calm, fast, and polite. They even offered to help rearrange a few things. I felt completely supported through the whole move.

Superheroes

I had a last-minute move and almost lost my mind trying to plan it. Thankfully, the crew showed up like superheroes and made it manageable. AVL was right there to get my oversized bed frame through a narrow hallway. I was worried it would get stuck, but they somehow made it work. Everything was handled with care, and they made me laugh during the process too. Moving day turned out WAY better than I expected! ?

Long-distance move from Saint Andrews, NB to Swan River, MB

Fast and Pros

We had two stops to make on moving day, and I was bracing for chaos. But everything was well coordinated, and the movers stayed on schedule the entire time. They were calm, focused, and surprisingly upbeat despite the heavy lifting. My second-floor apartment didn’t slow them down at all. They labeled everything clearly to avoid confusion later. I appreciated how carefully they stacked my boxes in the truck—it showed real skill. My favorite part was how they treated my stuff like their own. It’s the kind of service that earns trust fast.

Top Vibes with AVL

I'm honestly BLOWN AWAY by how smooth my move was! The team showed up ON TIME and ready to work hard! They packed up my entire house with CARE and efficiency! Their upbeat, POSITIVE energy made a huge difference! I didn't have to worry about a single thing — WOW! They made moving day actually ENJOYABLE! I would hire them again without hesitation!

Long-distance move from Delaware, ON to Gaspe, QC

Great energy!!!

I was honestly dreading the move, but the team completely turned it around! They came in with great energy, ready to get to work. Every box was handled with such care. My large mirror and dining set made it without a single scratch. The way they navigated my narrow hallway was IMPRESSIVE! They even took time to reassemble my bed perfectly. I’m beyond satisfied with the entire experience.

Long-distance move from Ontario to British Columbia

Excellent work

This team arrived ready to get the job done with no fuss. They tackled my large collection of books and fragile art with great care. Each piece of furniture was wrapped with thick blankets and secured tightly in the truck. Their communication was excellent, and they kept me informed every step of the way. I felt valued as a customer, not just another job. Moving day was surprisingly enjoyable thanks to their expertise. I would definitely use them again.

Long-distance move from Ottawa, ON to Kelowna, BC

Pathetic Service and Even Worse FOllow-up

If I can give lower than 1 star I will give. This company is such a SCAM. The entire process was absolutely UNPROFESSIONAL, the coordinator never talked to me at any point and i only had the option to leave a msg with an admin and get an email back after multiple attempts. Not only most of my items were received completely ruined and damaged, they gave me 10 days to go though all my inventory and file a claim and then took 10 weeks to process paperwork to finalize the claim which was calculated to shows that I OWE $205.40 to the company. I paid EXTRA $$ for packaging my valuables. The packaging was so unprofessional, like shoving garbage in boxes. I literally received some of my furniture broken in 2 to 3 pieces. This includes dining chairs, glass coffee tables and accent chairs that were received damaged beyond repair. I am attaching pictures that I submitted in my claim. I wonder how someone in a sound mind can charge extra for packaging and then damage the items and then take No Responsibility and Not compensate.

Furthermore, the company took weeks just to provide a consolidated receipt of service, multiple receipts provided with incorrect numbers. The company also charged me for transportation of my car which they took in cash and then sub contracted to another company and taking NO responsibility for delivery.

The company also charged me additional $$ to deliver my furniture to upper level to my bedroom.

Everything was charged before any service was provided. I paid a total of almost $12,000 for the moving to this company....

Yet i received the WORST POSSIBLE SERVICE.

ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED.

Perfect execution

If you’re wondering who to trust with your stuff, Alliance Van Lines is your answer. They showed up early, walked me through the plan, and executed it perfectly. My kitchen items, fragile and small, all arrived intact. The team was kind, upbeat, and fun to work with. Their coordination stood out — no chaos, just calm. I was beyond impressed with how smoothly it went!

Reliable and professional team

The movers arrived a few minutes early and got started right away. They handled my furniture with confidence and stayed careful throughout the day. I liked how they communicated before moving large pieces. Everything fit into the truck efficiently without damage. The only thing that could improve is finishing a bit quicker. Still, a reliable and professional team overall.

Long-distance move from Abbotsford, BC to Dorchester, ON

Professionalism stood out

From the very first interaction, professionalism stood out and never faded. The crew took the time to ask questions instead of guessing placement of items. There was a tiny holdup while they parked the truck, but the rest flowed efficiently. Nothing fragile was cracked or bent, which shows experience. Final pricing remained clear and reasonable. A comfortable four-star performance.

True professionalism

Leaving my longtime home was emotional, but the movers helped make the transition easier. They treated every belonging with care and never rushed through the process. Their respectful attitude meant a lot during such an important day. Everything arrived safely at the new house. It allowed me to focus on the excitement of starting fresh. The move felt much more enjoyable than expected.

Long-distance move from Victoria, BC to Rideau Park, AB

Great team

An entire household had to be relocated while flooring work was being finished at the new place, so timing had to be exact. Midway through the day, the receiving window changed unexpectedly, yet the coordination behind the scenes kept everything moving without confusion. The crew staged furniture in loading zones, secured sections by room grouping, and adjusted the truck layout intelligently. A few larger pieces were partially disassembled and rebuilt flawlessly on arrival. What stood out most was how naturally every department seemed connected without constant back-and-forth. By evening, the new home looked functional instead of looking like a warehouse of boxes.

Long-distance move from Montreal, QC to Edmonton, AB

Alliance the worst scammers I have ever come accross.

My girlfriend and I were moving from Montreal to Alberta from a 2 bed condo , we moved all her belongings into a storage unit before we left . After finding a place to rent in Alberta, we unfortunately decided to hire Alliance Van Lines after seeing there good competitive rate for moving a 3 bed condo online. My girlfriend contacted Alliance explained how many boxes she had and they came up with the estimated weight of 11,000lbs, which she explained she thinks was over estimated. The guy on the phone said we will see when it gets scaled and adjust the price.

Unfortunately, she didn't read the fine print thoroughly, as her first language is not English, which said the cost will be the minimum estimated price and she also believed the words of the man. After finding out which way these scammers worked, I called and asked if I could get a scaling ticket which shows the actual weight to figure out if it was actually near the 11000lbs. I got a reply that scaling tickets are only given out to loads that come in over the minimum weight and that they adjust the weight and the price only in that situation.

After waiting 4 weeks for our stuff to arrive in Alberta, a 3rd party delivery company showed up with her stuff with a bill for nearly $7000 for 11000 lbs of belongings. As the movers where putting the boxes in our new apartment, I weighed every box coming into the apartment on a professional scale I had borrowed from a friend ,(let me add we did not bring any of her appliances tumble dryer, washing machine , fridge , dish washer ect. All the heavy stuff was left in the condo in Montreal ) we just mainly had clothes and furniture. After adding up the weight of all the boxes and furniture, it came in under 5000lbs!! Not only was the estimated weight overestimated by over 6000lbs but all the boxes that was marked Fragile that we had carefully bubble wrapped and tagged fragile ourselves was damaged or smashed inside, (nearly all of them ). We claimed the damages done to our goods and the holes in the drywall and the broken light switch made by the movers. We had the answer, 4 weeks later after we contact Alliance again because no answer, that this was not covered by there insurance.

Also, while waiting to our stuff to arrived, I contacted them and explained the weight and that we where getting into serious debt starting off in a new place and if they could do a goodwill gesture and reimburse some of the money seems as there weight calculation was so far off which they refused.

Its safe to say I will never use this company again and I hope other people don't have the misfortune of dealing with them. They should be ashamed of themselves blatantly scamming people and holding there belongings hostage .

Long-distance move from Saskatoon, SK to Montreal, QC

Poor service; do not use this business at all!

Unfortunately, most of the items were damaged and some items were missing. I was hoping to get a more reasonable service from this called triple-A company. In the beginning, they gave me an estimate of 1310 pounds. However, once the driver arrived in a rush, mentioned I do not have time to wait here and discuss anything and you are dealing with this company and not me! Very rude behaviour! They were supposed to give me a scale certificate but simply mentioned that the driver estimated 1810 pounds as per space and time. Called their office in Toronto to ask for a scale certificate several times and finally, someone was supposed to call me and explain the scale certificate. No one called me!

Before signing the contract the manager was very kind and responsive. Once I signed the contract and paid the balance, the story changed. One time, I called their office to talk to the manager and she mentioned that I am not in a good mood and haven't had my coffee yet; showing their professional customer service care! Very interesting!

Also, they cannot do simple math; send me the final bill for more than 5 times each time calculating the weight and final bill wrongly.

I filled out the inventory list in advance but the driver did not have this list and called me a day before pick-up day to ask me about the items that I am going to ship. Interestingly, he mentioned that I have more items comparing with the inventory list that I have filled out but he did not have my list!

No scale certificate was sent to me and once I called their office in Toronto to ask for one, someone told me that will get back to me soon! No one responded. I would never recommend this service to anyone.

Overall, there were some other fragile stuff broken and the way that the items were shipped was not in a professional manner. Basically, I was not supposed to buy insurance for every single item that they were moving but they treated my stuff like waste removal. I submitted a claim form asking for compensation of the damaged item but after more than 10 weeks waiting, they send me a letter that considering the deductible $425 (never has been mentioned in the contract), I am not eligible for a refund based on the basic coverage.

Also, you emailed me 5 times with a miscalculated final total; as mentioned. It sounds that their offices are not coordinated together. I paid the final total in advance but a few days before the delivery date I received a call from their Toronto office asking me to pay the total again! Unfortunately, this is the worst experience that I have had with a moving company. NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE to anyone!

Nightmare Movers!!

Almost every single item they moved was damaged. We sat in our new home waiting a month for our furniture and contents to arrive. Nelly`s comment, we`re on time; making her own time up in her head! Brand new boxes damaged beyond belief, new furniture chipped and scratched .2 brand new flat screen tv`s, totally broken, makeup dresser looks like someone smashed it with a hammer. Stainless garbage can, looks like someone used it as a punching bad. Guitar amp GONE! air conditioner broken.The list is endless, I cant believe the amount of damage and nothing in return except an offer of $50.00. Do yourself a favor use anyone else, stay away from these thieves! One of the worst experiences I ever lived. Nice and friendly in the beginning, of course, most completely incompetent moving company in Ontario. I dont even want to give them a star, they deserve a negative number!
