Highly recommend Foster's moving! Our sales rep and movers were fantastic! They were all so efficient, kind and friendly, it made moving a much more enjoyable day. The movers offered helpful tips and ensured all of our valuables were well taken care of and placed into the correct rooms before they left. Nothing broke, nothing lost AND we came in under budget! Moving is hard, but the Foster's crew made it much more bearable, we had a great time with all of them! A million Thank you's!!

As most moves go this was good, had our issues with missing and broken items, at first frustration sets in but once a call is made to them they were very apologetic and quick to fix any and all concerns. One item that was missing was glass shelves i had figured i was going to have to get them cut myself. They showed up took what they needed and said not to worry we will get them replaced. Broken leg on a dresser they packed it up and returned it good as new. I would recommened these folks. I was very pleased woth the ownership they took.

Do NOT use Fosters Moving if you in Victoria. They charge for traveling time and are located deep in Langford. This ended up costing us an extra $150 since they have to do the Langford crawl to get to town. The staff (Jacob Paterson) were extremely rude, unhelpful, and unwilling to reimburse us after inquiring about the extra charges. We were not informed before the move, this is not listed on their website, and we booked well in advance. I never write reviews but felt compelled for this one since my mother got stuck with the bill because I was not home - stick with a more local company and save

Great company, quality work, honest people. Having two different closing dates, our moving was somewhat complicated. We were rescued by Foster's Moving. I'd give them 10 stars instead of 5.

Great service, good value, and professional movers. They properly wrap furniture and glass in protective blankets, and efficiently load the truck to make sure nothing ever breaks. Have used them for my last 4 moves and it is always is stress-free.

Foster's went above and beyond for my move. Max and Nate were extremely professional and efficient. They handled it in stride when my move turned out to be more complicated than I'd thought to describe it. I absolutely recommend this company.
