Alberta Furst Choice Moving provided a scheduled move. The movers provided for my move were very accommodating. This move was complex and required multiple stops. There were 2 movers, they showed up punctually. Connected at each location with the assigned "director" of household items to be picked up. The movers worked hard, were friendly, efficent, had a great sense of humor and were very patient! On arrival at final drop off they coordinated with myself the home owner, where items and furniture needed to be located. They also helped to disassemble and reassemble the bedframes. I am exceptionally greatful for the services provided and the amount of work these gentlemen put into getting all of our belonging to our new home.

We used Alberta First Choice Moving from the Edmonton area to Lethbridge Alberta and were very happy with the job they did for us. We would recommend using Alberta First Choice to any of our friends contemplating a move! Thanks To Bob, Terry and Ryan

It was snowing wet day on my moving, but thanks to this guys, I made it. It took more time than expected, but all my stuff were safe. They broke one front door light, Bob fixed it right away. Thanks Bob!

Christel & Dennis Wispinski

Thank you so much for making our move so smooth. We lived in a condo where the elevator was not working and the fellows moved us down three flights of stairs in amazing time. They came back 10 days later when the elevator was operating to move our larger china cabinets. Everything was handled with care and nothing was broken. We highly recommend Alberta First Choice Moving.

Dennis Mohyluk

The movers were awesome. On time, quick and new how to load. Very professional. Would definitely use them again.

I have had a wonderful experience with this moving company. Bob, the owner, makes everything go smoothly.

alex Jones

we used this company several times to help our piano transfers across Alberta and British Columbia. we highly recommend it.

Scott Gillespie

I’ve now used Alberta First Choice Moving twice. Both times they’ve been professional, communicative, and done a great job. Bob has worked within my schedule and his team has always gone above and beyond. I mean - two moves and they haven’t broken anything! My furniture was wrapped and placed on the truck with care, my boxes were handled appropriately. Alberta First Choice has become my go to moving company and I can guarantee you’ll be happy with their services.

Robin Raworth

We used them for a small office move, they were great - fast, efficient, friendly, and hard-working. Would definitely give them a call again for future moves.

Teddy Longbow

These guys are quick and efficient. Doesn't overcharge neither.

Kyla Arnett

They were able to fit me in last minute on a move from BC to AB. Very impressed, very professional. Easy to get ahold of and very responsive. Will be hiring them again.????

Sarah Rawlins

Bob and his team were so great to deal with for our apartment move from South Edmonton into Sherwood Park. The guys worked really hard and were very friendly. Bob made sure to call and touch base before, during, and after the move to make sure everything was running smoothly. Overall a great experience.

Steve Schippanoski

A great company and fantastic employees. They easily took my booking two weeks in advance, confirmed the move 24 hours in advance and were prompt on arrival time. Their two movers were quick to point out any defects in the items they were moving to make me aware and the same with the destination regarding any scuffs in the floor prior to bringing items in. The owner of the company called halfway through the move to insure I was happy and things were to my liking. They were efficient in time and incredibly friendly. Would definitely use again.

Valentina Grishina

I remember this company from September 2011 and, unfortunately, just now I found their contact. We had to move 3 times since that and realized that it was the best moving company ever! Good price, responsible, punctual, thoughtful and fast - just VERY PROFESSIONAL. I'd highly recommend this company to anybody - I have enough experience to compare.

I didn't use them, but they ruined my front property, I had big rocks in front and had to move them in place, on top the family they were moving, they broke branches off the tree and they did not care. Please do not use them, they are unprofessional and disrespect other people's properties. I can't reply back to the owner, but I do remember very clear the company that was doing the moving and it was you, the drivers didn't seem to care much and at that time, there were 3 of them. You may not be aware, but these drivers did what they did, have a meeting with the drivers and let them know what the consequences if it's to occur again.

Anastassia Hawksworth

Friendly, helpful, caring! Everything was on top! Would use them again just not planning to move in near future! Highly recommend!

Arron Clark

Great help with the transition of moving over 6 months

Amanda Gallant

These guys worked so hard. Non-stop for 3 hours moving my 2 bedroom 3rd floor condo to my new townhouse. They worked so quickly, I was exhausted just watching them! When we got to the new property they organized and stacked everything neatly. I am so grateful for their hard work! Nice guys and professional too!!

Cathie Dunklee-Donnell

This company is so honest and efficient. Very friendly too. They moved my son from Edmonton to Calgary and we couldn't be happier with the job.

Sebastian Dietrich

We moved from Old Strathcona to Bonnie Doon with Alberta First Choice. Bob sent us a great crew that treated our belongings with lots of respect. Move went great. Best move ever, trustworthy service.

Crystal Melan

This was our first time using movers. Alberta First Choice was great. We had an in home estimate which turned out to be very accurate so the price was as expected. We had a long distance move from Edmonton to Calgary. They were there on day 1 on time and it only took a few hours to move. We had all of our this in boxes but they packed beds, couches, tabe and chairs carefully in blankets. The next morning they were at our place in Calgary and they were very professional and efficient moving our stuff in. They made a stressful time much easier and I would recommend them and use them again.

Janet McFarland

Alberta First Choice Moving did a great job with my recent home move. They were friendly and professional, took care with our furniture and were very efficient.

Geo

I have used Bob and his crew a few times and have been totally satisfied with the service every time. Bob's men are a hard-working, polite and efficient. My last move was a big one, with a lot of books, heavy furniture, and the boys got a real workout. From start to finish, I had no complaints, and will not hesitate to use AFCMS in the future. I have recommended Bob to friends in the past, and would not hesitate to recommend them in the future. Great company overall. Thanks again Bob, you make moving a very simple thing.

Anoosheh RazmiNia

Very profesional, caring and accommodating. I definitely recommend Alberta First Choice.

Jordan A

The three gentlemen who moved us were timely, efficient, and polite. Took the stress of moving away and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Sharmaine Tremblay

I contacted Alberta First Choice Moving when my movers cancelled the night prior to my move. Alberta First Choice Moving was excellent, affordable and they were able to get the job done on short notice! Thanks so much!

Ron Hughes

Great professionally!

fengro

Great, hardworking and friendly movers made my move much easier to handle.

Catherine S

We recently had Bob and his team come in to pack up a house then move the items to a storage trailer. We are super happy with the end result and would highly recommend them for their punctuality, value and also, just being great people! THANK YOU!!

Nadia Botha

We moved within Edmonton this past weekend and words cannot express how much more pleasant Alberta First Choice made this experience. Moving is stressful and a lot of work, and these guys made it look easy. They worked fast and were very professional. My building manager even asked me for their contact information because she said she sees many movers due to the nature of her job and these are by far the best and fastest movers she has seen. We paid for 3 guys and a truck and it was worth every penny. I will be recommending these guys to any friends that have to move in the future. Thank you for making our move a good experience, we are so grateful!

TeresaM

Thank you Bob for arranging a flawless move from Ontario to Alberta during a pandemic! We've moved several times in the past and used big name companies that not only came with huge bills but crushed and lost furniture for which no-one seemed to care. Bob's professionalism and price was outstanding, his team excellent and everything arrived in great shape. I highly recommend Alberta First Choice Moving Systems Inc!

Andrea M

Very happy with Bob and his team of guys. Bob came out in advance to chat about the move and answer my questions. The guys on the day were friendly, helpful and did their best to get all of my furniture moved as quickly and carefully as they could. Even though it was -20C, they worked their socks off. Would definitely recommend their services.

Beth Ghy

I hired this company last minute for an unexpected move. the price was reasonable. they were very responsive to me. they sent over a huge truck with two men to help us move. the men were so nice and very funny. they were in and out in no time! they were very careful with our furniture and taught us some new things as well. I will defiantly be using this company again and I highly recommend this company.

Off Whyte Chiro

We hired them back in July to do a small office move, so happy we did. They're affordable, punctual, supplied us with more then enough bins for packing & didn't break a thing. Bob went out of his way to make sure this was an effortless move for us. I would highly recommend them!!!

Peter Andes

The best movers we ever had! The movers were very careful with our possessions, were well-prepared to handle the move, moved our possessions very efficiently, and were accommodating and considerate of special items and circumstances. We are very grateful for their help in our move!

Marcy F

Bob's experience and organization was extremely helpful from packing advice, to pick up and delivery and moved 2 households from Alberta to BC, including the ferry. It was a stressful time for us but Bob's professionalism was extremely reassuring, cost was very near his estimate and even a flooded highway did not impede his delivery before the timeframe we expected. Thank you, Bob, and thanks to the guys loading and unloading who made impossible tasks look easy, and fast!

Karen Linden

NOT the experience you need on moving day! Helping a family pack up & move a very beloved lady, it was sad to see the AWFUL experience they suffered at the end, from AFCMS. The 2 movers charged 6 hours to move only; bedroom furniture, small desk & chair, Love Seat, 4 small/light LR table pieces & a credenza. The slowness was not because they had to wrap everything! They did not wrap or protect the furniture! Moving down the stairs, the dresser doors were opening banging against the walls and drawers falling out. They damaged 3 of the Bedroom furniture suite pieces that ‘was’ in excellent condition. They dragged the dressers and the nailed in feet were missing & front wood chipped. And, damaged walls. Throughout the move, the damages were discussed with the 2 movers & with the owner Bob on the phone as it happened. Once done & he was paid, Bob emailed, said damage is 60 cents a pound, that is what you get. Then, he said his guys now say they didn’t do it and he is not paying any damages. Then, he said he wanted to come and look to prove it. Then, he offered a $100. Then said sign a waiver for the $100. There are Before & After pictures that were shown and there is thousands of dollars damage to furniture and walls. Firing AFCHS in the first 20 minutes of damages was not an option as Bob was evasive & aggressive and had said he did a credit card preauthorization of $1200.

Had a great experience, team was polite, on time and on budget. Thank-you!

Bayou CowGirl

Great Company! Bob the owner is a man of his word. The bill came out to what he quoted me and the staff was courteous, hard working, kind and very professional. It took them no time at all, and they made a very stressful, sad situation easy. It was a 3 day move and a long distance move. If you ever need to move short or long distance this is the company to call. Bob the owner has been doing this for 30 years and it shows. Great Employees! Thank you. Crystal

Information informative

The moving crew was great. Worked very very hard. Very fast. Total satisfaction. Would recommend to anyone.

Nicole Job

I called for movers last minute Friday and they booked me in Sunday. They were very careful amd attentive to not scratch or damage anything. I would definitely recommend Alberta Firdt Choice Moving and use them myself again.

Michael Abley

Thoroughly pleased with the excellent and efficient service provided by the team from Alberta First Choice movers. They were very careful with all my items, many quite fragile. They also made the process fun. Highly recommended movers.

Thomas Brannen

Really good service for a great price!

Judy Meadahl

My first experience in using Movers so in spite of some apprehensions we had a positive experience. Ted & Terry were respectful, friendly and handled our belongings with care . They worked so hard and were very mindful of staying within the 3 hour minimum. I now have a greater appreciation for how tough a job it is for Movers and it is in this sermvice that I feel a generous gratuity is well deserved. I had to change my schedule twice and Bob was very accommodating, easy to deal with and very friendly in manner.

Jessica Petrov

I moved a storage and a house in 1 weekend. That should explain my state of mind by the time the movers came. They were professional, friendly, and gave me a lot of tips to reassemble the mess I made. :) I appreciate their speed and efficiency. They took great care of my precious belongings. The unloading was just as wonderful as the loading. Thank you for the wonderful job.

Helena Pohl

We hired this company when we needed to move our mother into assisted living, and had to store her belongings until she gets her new living placement. The guys who moved her belongings were amazing! They were both quick, and also very careful with our mothers many delicate antiques. As well, they didn't have the easiest job, as the seniors in the building would ask to be delivered to different floors when they were trying to use the elevators to move furniture and boxes. They were polite and respectful of the residents, and even kept their humour and remained polite when one senior decided to give them a hard time about their need to use the elevator. I was so impressed with the movers already, when a few hours after the move I got a phonecall from their supervisor. The guys had found a pouch stuffed into the couch frame and cushions that contained some jewelery, as well as $1100.00 cash. I had to rave to the supervisor about how great they had been, and now their honesty and integrity just amazed me! These guys were just so awesome! I would recommend them to anyone!!!! They're the BEST!!

Terry Auger

It the best

Tyler Austin

Alberta First Choice Moving made my move within Edmonton incredibly easy. The owner Bob was very informative, experienced, and forthright. The guys were courteous and worked extremely hard and efficiently. If I could leave a 6 start review I would. A+ moving service.

Maureen Orchard

We used Alberta First Choice Moving Systems to move from Edmonton to Vancouver Island. Moving is a very stressful time but I can say that Alberta First Choice did their best to alleviate it. First of all, Bob is very calm and reassuring but he doesn’t make any promises that he may not be able to keep. For instance, the scheduled date for the delivery of our household at our new home was August 9. It arrived on that date but Bob had warned us very early on that delays can and do occur. If anyone has travelled B.C. highways in peak tourist season, you know there can be mud-slides, accidents, floods and especially fires. So, we were given clear expectations and allowed ourselves extra time. Our possessions all arrived undamaged and the assistants that Bob hired both in Edmonton and Courtenay were quick, careful and efficient. But Bob is the guy who orchestrates the whole process. The price was reasonable compared to other companies. The actual price was only about $100 over the estimate. Also, I liked dealing with a local company. I would highly recommend them.

James Hamilton

While searching for a company to do a local move, I found Alberta First Choice Moving Systems. This was not the only company I called but I liked how Bob handled my questions and I must admit, I also liked the quoted price. Due to my schedule, the Team arrived as scheduled (an hour earlier than they normally start) and worked tirelessly while both loading and unloading my belongings. They took great care in handling everything and were finished the whole move within 6 hours. I am more than happy with the service provided and again the price. I will gladly recommend this company to any of my friends and will call them for my next move.

Polar Bear

I would highly recommend this moving company! Our last experience with a different moving company was not a happy one, delayed move times, not enough workers, and damaged goods. Bob and his company restored my faith in the moving industry. The movers were punctual, polite and hard working. We had no damages from the move and were impressed with their work ethic. I will definitely be using the company for future moves!

Brenda Ruzycki

We used Alberta First Choice Movers to move us from one townhouse to another in Edmonton. The movers worked really hard and were very professional. I highly recommend this Company.

RON HOEFLING

The team arrived on time and got right to work. They assessed the job, asked a few questions and began loading, asking questions as they went. Constantly checking to make sure they were getting my wishes exact. Easy to work with and very polite and professional. Did an amazing job. Thanks Bob.

Michelle Olsen

We are very happy we hired Alberta First Choice Moving Systems. The crew worked well together and were good humoured. They were also efficient, careful with our things, and gave excellent communication during the entire move . They even assembled our beds, which was a great help. We definitely recommend them. Thanks for making our move go smoothly!

Steve Hearn

Crooks. Absolutely would not recommend for out of province move. I moved to NL from Edmonton 5 years ago. Bob committed verbally to having my stuff delivered within 2-3 weeks but actually delivered after 9 weeks. Would not give me anything in writing. Lost a couple of boxes of mine. Doesn't actually have professional movers on his staff. Just sent the truck driver and then hired two local guys off the street to move my stuff. One of which was an older man in his 60's, completely unfit health-wise to be moving heavy furniture. I had to step in and help. But the worst part was Bob calling me while his truck was in NB and said that he would not get on the ferry to NL unless he was paid in full. I was held at ransom with no options. He didn't compensate me for the rental furniture I had to get while waiting for my things. Absolutely the worst moving experience I've ever had. Never again.

I had 9 appliances to move (5 out of the house and 4 into the house). I called on Saturday at about noon to see if they could move them on Monday or Tuesday. Bob contacted one of the teams and they came by at about 5:30 pm. Squeezed me in at the end of their day. It took them about 1 hour to move everything. It would take me and another person several hours to do this. The guys were well organized and conscientious in the performance of their job, very professional. This was my second time using Alberta First Choice and I will definitely hire them again for my next move.

Tyler Stewart

Very good company to work for.

Carole Inglis

The men who attended to my move were excellent, careful and very professional . I would absolutely recommend this moving company.

Trish Underwood

These guys were great. Very helpful, very careful. They just made the whole experience stress free. Thank you !!

Lloyd Burrowes

We used this company for a local move withing Sherwood Park and were very satisfied with their care and attentiveness throughout the process. The owner called half way through just to make sure all was going well. Good job!

Brandt Denham

Our move to our new house was super smooth! The guys at Alberta First Choice Moving we're careful, diligent and worked really hard! Highly recommended!

Ed P

These guys moved me to the USA, and it was a tough move (required reloading to a smaller truck to get down the road where I lived). Despite the difficulties, the driver and his helper were upbeat and friendly. The price was very competitive and everything arrived perfectly. What more could you ask?

Allen Wigelsworth

Moving can be a very stressful process. Bob assured us that he would make our move as stress free as possible. The crew arrived on time and we were amazed how professional, careful and experienced they were.We were moving out of province so we had a different crew on the other end to offload. The three men set about their task with outmost care. They were friendly and truly wanted to do the best job possible. They worked five hours straight with no breaks. They put everything where we asked with no complaining. We were very impressed on how they took to the task of getting everything in the right place. Bob said he would make this as seamless as possible and he more than accomplished that. If you are planning a move - your only CHOICE - is "Alberta First Choice" Thanks again Bob to you and your crew

krish mot

These guys were great. Very helpful. Highly recommend them.

Jodi Sutherland

We moved in October and we were very impressed. Showed up on time, were professional and friendly. Flooring was protected, care was taken with the furniture and they were quick to load up the truck. There was a lot of stuff to move and they did a great job. The price was competitive and the service was great. Hope to not move for a long, long time, but I definitely would recommend them to anyone looking to hire movers!

Connie Alton

Bob was professional and helpful from the first phone call to the last box being set in our home. He provided a written estimate at the outset and there were no unexpected charges. The logistics of the move from St.Albert, Alberta to Vancouver was difficult. We moved to a townhouse complex in downtown Vancouver that has limited access and many stairs. Bob delivered on time, did not complain (or charge extra because of the difficulty) and handled each item with respect. Throughout the process Bob kept us updated on timelines, answered all of our questions and remained in good humour. I would highly recommend this company.

Lillian Hanson

We've used this moving company on a number of occasions and we highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed! This move took 13 hours as we asked them to wrap all our furniture in blankets and they were happy to oblige. 13 hours might sound like a lot but we have big bulky, heavy furniture and we were moving from a 4th floor condo to a 3rd floor condo in a different building. They did the whole move in one day and worked just as hard and carefully on their 13th hour as they did on their first. We can't thank Ken & Ted enough for all their had work. And thank you Bob for taking care of our one little hiccup so promptly. Greatly appreciated and looking forwarded to doing business with you on our next upcoming move when we purchase our new home.

Selene Houle

Bob as great to deal with . Thanks so much .
