Local move within Alberta

Not a Professional Company.

I'll make this short. The moving company was very late picking up with no ETA phone call. My items had to be stored and redelivered. There were no "free blanket wrap" used on my furniture so it was very damaged when it arrived. I was missing numerous items and called twice while movers were present. I did several follow up emails with damages, pictures and missing item list. I also had another clients items that I sent a picture in to show. To date still no response. I had to put in a complaint with the BBB.
The pick up was June 30 and delivery was July 2. The picture provided is the other clients items so if they are recognized please contact me.
I had to click rating to post. I would give zero.

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

Quick Move.

I was surprised how quick my move was: got it picked up in Montreal September 5th, delivered September 19th in Edmonton. The guys who did delivery were professional and polite, used runners not to damage my floors. I was watching them the whole time and did not notice anything disagreeable. I did all the packing myself - and triple checked for damages - there were none - and sure you would expect some, going all he way across the country. I would have improved their inventory, but I made my own list that I was going by. I had o problems with this company and their rates are the cheapest.

Local move within Saskatchewan

Corny, careless, terrible service.

I had decided to use Ram before reading the reviews ( which are mostly negative for a good course). I called Amy to express my concern after reading them all, she assured she’ll personally make sure everything would be smooth & no surprise since my quote was all inclusive, that any variation would be based on weight. She had been helpful & seemingly honest to that point so I believed her.
I was moving from regina to Mississauga & had to go ahead since there wouldn’t be a pick up till after the holidays.
I called 2 days after my things were picked for final quote & 1.5weeks later but got nothing. Amy promised to check with the truck and mail me back & never did till delivery date. I get a call the day before delivery told to pay 600+, followed by email with account details. No details of the final quote.
Driver shows up next days (nice guy by the way) and I see they had padded in about $200 (scale,warehouse& fictitious 100+lb)
Looking at the bill, I could see they had been fiddling with the numbers(guess trying to work out how much they could scheme off without getting noticed)
Amy suddenly became clueless & was stupidly trying to justify wrong billing of items clearly stated on her quote at no additional cost. John comes on to convince me that my math was off & I should pay for 143lb extra instead of 43lb.
Long story short, I refused to pay till the scam was pulled. the genius finally saw his error & asked the driver to strike of all the extras. I paid only the $23 extra due.
Opened the boxes days later and found my monitor had been broken despite bold “fragile -computer screen” label.
Use them at your own risk, carry all your frigiles with you if you do.

Long-distance move from Gravelbourg, SK to Okotoks, AB

Complete moving amateurs, professional con artists.

In Apr/17 My family used Real Alberta Moving Services to move my elderly parents belongings from Saskatchewan to Okotoks, AB. They were the worst moving service we could have chosen. Complete amateurs. Just a horrible experience.
- They quoted a price that turned out to be half the actual cost of the move, saying the weight was more than expected.
- Almost anything of value my parents had was damaged or broken.
- No proper wrapping of fragile items, furniture, etc. The most perplexing was couch cushions taped to the underside of a table as if to protect it but nothing on the table top (see photo). When the tape was removed it ruined the table top finish and all the edges of the table were damaged. The table became garbage.
- Only one item, a piano, was delivered into a house, the rest of the shipment into a garage for storage. The movers significantly gouged a 15 foot section of floor moving the piano, the only item they had to be more careful with! No straps or dolly used, nothing to protect the floor. The piano itself was damaged in over 10 places, no wrapping/blankets.
- Many smaller items were packed into large tower size clothing boxes with no wrap or anything to protect the items. Many of the boxes were crushed and items damaged or broken.
- When we complained, the company's offer was $100 provided we left no negative reviews with the BBB etc.
This company took advantage of two 80+ year olds and destroyed much of their personal effects aquired over a lifetime. They should not be in business.

If you use this company be prepared for Unprofessional staff in all aspects of the business from booking agents to ware house staff to the persons that handle lost items( Stolen ) to management . You will be lied to from the minute you book.

Be ware your delivery will not take 6 to 10 business days , it took our 45 business days for ours , numerous phone calls , numerous emails etc. They say they will get back to you end of day and never do .
All the persons I spoke to lie because the must fill containers and it could take months before they are full , after 30 business days our stuff was still in Kingston not moved not loaded , They will blame the dispatch warehouse personnel . The manager will blame everyone in the company for the mistakes they will never take responsibility.
They promised a discounted rate for the lateness but this to is a scam. At the end I paid more and when they are ready to deliver this is when they tell you they cannot make any discounts. and of course they have your items so you pay or they will keep it .
They told me that they fired the person who quoted me 6 to 10 business days blaming her for the delay.
When I called back anonymously they again quoted me 6-10 business days.
This is false representation to get your buisness .
When our things finally arrived a large piece was missing worth 6000 dollars. Well after this they don't speak to you at all .
they give you an email to file your claim and they will pay you per pound 60 cents which if you do the math because they will only pay up to 25 lbs .
We have had to go through our house insurance . One last thing the owner lives off shore .

International move from , CA to , ON

Complete Lack of Information Received.

I used this company for a move from the US to Canada. There was a complete lack of information and communication between me and the company. I routinely called them for updates and information regarding my move but I was never called back. They never informed me of the method of required payment this caused me to have to pay a COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE 3% fee on top of my bill. They charged my credit card without asking and were completely unwilling to remove it.

NEVER USE THIS COMPANY.

Please read all reviews before you hire this compnay.

If you value your possessions at all I encourage you to use any other moving company than Real Alberta Moving. This company will not take of beloved possessions and you will be heart broken when your things arrive in pieces.

I used Real Alberta Moving to move from Alberta to Mississauga Nov 2016 and for that move I packed all of my own things myself and not item got broken. Because that move went so well when asked to move back to Alberta Sept 2017, I didn't hesitate and to call this mover and book them to move me back but this time I wanted to use their packing services.

From the way that my things were packed by them, many of my possessions are now broken. I won't list all of them on here but I do have pictures and please feel free to email me. Also there is still a whole box still missing and when they delivered my things to my new place they missed delivering a whole bed and were caught dragging my couch on the ground.

Please please please ensure to read the small print of their contract before they move anything of yours as it states that their coverage is basic carrier’s insurance that pays out at $0.60 per pound/per article and includes a $500.00 deductible. Not once in all of the conversations I had with them did they mention anything to me about a deductible and it isn't until they have your things loaded on the truck that you will sign the contract.

Due the damages and missing item I had to file a claim with them. Be warned that this company DOES NOT have a contact # for their claims department and that this company decided all on their own without discussing anything with me on what my possessions and missing items were worth.

They at first made me an insulating offer of $50 for all of the damages and for my missing possessions and to make a long story short today and after waiting a month they offered me $100 for the damages but I wouldn't be allowed to post reviews.

You'll will notice from all the other reviews posted on this site that $100 seems to be their standard offer and not once did they take responsibility nor did anyone apologise to me on how my things or me had been treated.

I did not accept their horrible offer as I feel it is more important to warn the public about this company and can not caution people enough about their horrible treatment of me and my possessions. This company needs to be put out of business.

Long-distance move from Calgary, AB to Toronto, ON

Still miss my computer, studio monitors and wife's wardrobe.

We chose this company to move us from Alberta to Ontario a few years ago and it was a nightmare. Everything was smooth and dandy while booking it and even when the movers came to pick up our stuff, everything seemed ok.

Then, once they had our stuff they were not able to give us an ETA for arrival. Once the stuff finally was ready to arrive, I was told over the phone that it would be $500 more because the wording they used to rope me in did not include a certain charge.

When our stuff arrived a highly valuable box (my computer! and studio monitors and music making equipment, shoes and winter clothes) was missing as well as a suitcase with my wife's entire summer wardrobe, something she'd been collecting for the past 10 years.

They were very insincere in helping us track down the missing stuff and we never got it back. We learned the hard way; if you value your items, choose a reputable company even if it costs a little bit more.

It was years ago and we still talk about our missing items. I filed complaints with the BBB and other outlets but none of them were able to help us get any type of compensation.

I absolutely detest this company and am highly skeptical of any positive reviews I read about them.
